My concern with putting a directional antenna on the main router is that wireless users on the first and second floor may be negatively affected.
I just ordered a Hawking HA12W directional antenna (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833995007). I also ordered another Buffalo router...
On the first floor of my house I have a cable modem with a Linksys WRT54G running Tomato firmware. On the third floor of my house I have a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 also running Tomato. The Buffalo connects to the Linksys as a client and distributes internet via the LAN ports. Throughout the house...
Are there any good motherboards available with dual onboard video? Dual DVI would be great, but DVI and VGA is fine as well.
This PC will have an Areca ARC-1210 SATA RAID controller taking up the 16x PCI express slot. It won't be used for gaming, so a dual 16x mobo and separate graphics...
I am working on a few batch files and need to come up with a method to copy the last so many files that were modified in a directory. I don't know what the names will be. The file creation time should equal the modified time.
I've been trying, but can't quite get it. Any suggestions?
Lets say I have a list of strings and the corresponding output after an encryption algorithm is applied. The encryption algorithm yields the same result for a given input every time. Is there a formal method to determine the algorithm?
This is mainly an academic exercise, but not school...
The Olevia is towards the top of the list right now.
My cable connects via coax cable. I don't use a box or anything for it. I think most antennas connect via coax as well...
Also, I have heard some TVs impose restrictions when using HDMI to attach to a computer. Do you get the full...
I am looking to pick up a 32"-40" LCD HDTV sometime soon.
I need to be able to hook up an antenna (for OTA HDTV) and coax cable (for SD cable) at the same time. I also need to be be able to hook the tv up to my computer to watch recorded content.
I am willing to spend somewhere around...
I thought some people might be interested in a quick update here.
My mother called the leasing company directly to talk to them about the matter. The first thing they determined is that the difference for the discounts was about $200, not $2000 like the dealer tried to bill my mother for...
I run occasionally with my Shure E5C and haven't experienced any issues regarding fit. My biggest complaint is the thumping I hear from my feet hitting the ground and maybe the disorientation caused by not hearing the outside world.
Is there any way in Windows XP Pro/Server 2K3 to update the timestamp of a file via commandline? Something via batch or vbs would work? Basically I am looking for the Windows equivalent of touch.
Thanks.
I just got an XFX 7300GT with dual DVI.
My old graphics card was a Radeon 9800 and my monitors were independent of each other. The taskbar was only on the main windows and if I maximized a window it maximized on one screen.
With the 7300GT I have options for Horizontal span, vertical...
As I said in an earlier post, it isn't possible for any of us to made an educated decision on this. We weren't there and we don't have all of the info.
It has been interesting to see how many people jump jump to conclusions so quickly with so little information.
What I want to know is...
The amount is about $2000. For a lease its a decent amount extra.
It sounds like the sales person was nice, but the manager who is asking for the money basically said pay or we will sue when my mother inquired about the letter.
You have made an awful lot of bold assumptions. You don't know my mother, you don't know me and unless you work for the car dealership you have no basis to post what you did.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I was not present when the deal was negotiated so I am only capable of posting a...
You have some interesting points, but for financing they wouldn't accept a down payment and a payment a month later before telling you. Also, any notifications regarding the financing would come directly from or at least on behalf of the financer.
If the leasing company contacts my mother in...
Pontiac...
She was given some sort of employee discount when only entitled to an affiliate discount.
I wasn't there during the negotiations, so I can't provide a first hand account of how the discount came into play. Regardless the dealership should have verified the information before...
My exact language would depend on the problem and possibly my ideas about solving it.
Based on what is here though:
I am confident this problem can be solved.
About a month ago my mother signed a lease for a new car. When talking price she told the dealership she had some special discount but did not have the information present. They apparently guessed the discount code, based the price on it, and she signed the contract with it. She has already...
I am trying to come up with a solution to securely back up some of my important files in case anything even happened to my house or computers. I currently have a RAID 5 file server, but I am thinking about some sort of offsite backup. The files would either be posted to the internet somewhere...
All of my computers use the same usernames and passwords. I set up a few shares that anyone that visits can access though.
I got everything working by editing the group policy on the server last night. Now anyone that can connect to my network has read only access to a few of my shares...
I am setting up a file server at home and want to give everyone access to certain shares. The system is running XP SP2, all machines are on the same workgroup and are running XP SP1 or SP2 and simple file sharing is disabled.
Regardless of the permissions, accounts that aren't defined on...
I was able to get the system running by doing what I said above.
I removed the Areca and installed to a 40GB IDE drive. After Windows was setup I put the Areca back in and Windows booted and loaded the drivers I supplied. After that I booted to Ghost and ghosted the 40GB drive to the raid 5...
The PCI-E card is the Areca ARC-1210 I mentioned in my first post. This exact system has been running Fedora Core 4 for about a month without issues.
The mobo has a x16 and x1 PCI-E slot. Since the Areca requires x4 it is in the x16 slot.
I just removed the Areca and am installing XP on...
I have had the following system up and running under Fedora Core 4 for a month now and it has worked great, but I want to install Windows XP Pro on it.
Specs:
Asus A8N-CSM
Athon 64 3500+
1GB PC3200
Arec ARC-1210 PCI-E RAID card
4x320GB Seagate 7200.10 in RAID 5
When I try to install...
I have been looking into getting a new digital camera and came across the Ricoh Caplio R5. It is 7MP, has a 7x optical zoom, a 2.5" screen and is about the size of my current Canon S410. From what I have seen the reviews on Ricoh cameras are pretty good as well. The only problem is that...
Is a plugin or something needed?
When I try to open a HLP file in Word 2003 it prompts me to do a file conversion and regardless of what I select I get garbage.
Thanks.
I have an application that uses a Windows Help (.hlp) file that I would like to edit. Does anyone know of any good editors? Free is of course good, but not required. Thanks.
I highly recommend getting an UPS if you haven't already. When I was in college and lived in the dorms I had a few quality PSUs and other components go bad. I tested our power with a multimeter and I saw the voltage go as low as 90V a few times and as high as 140V. I had similar issues at my...
I would suggest you just get a router. This is what they are made to do.
For a free solution you could manually set the MAC address of the desktop and laptop to be the same. Note that the network cards must support this.
If you are running XP you could stick an extra NIC in the PC and...
For the fileserver/PVR case I ordered an Antec 3800B. It has 5 internal 3.5" bays and a 400W PSU. I figured that should be adequate.
I have pretty much decided on 4xSeagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA II drives for storage. For the RAID controller I am thinking about an Areca ARC-1210. It is...
It has been a while since I have upgraded and since I have been putting in a lot of OT lately I have decided to splurge a bit. For all of my upgrades I have set a budget around $2000.
What I want:
A new main computer:
A dual core processor
At least 2GB of RAM
A passively cooled video...
That was my initial choice, but if I am not gaming will this card give me anything that the cheaper 7300GT won't? It seems my $70 would be better put towards a CPU or memory.
I guess it is likely this card: http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/lis...ils.jspa?productConfigurationId=303568
Newegg has an 'X' for the last character while XFX has a '3'
