I am still not having a problem.May because I am on dial-up

bwt1953 :I guess the army did keep th barracks redecorating to a mimimum.I wasn't drafted so I was never in the military. Not to imply you were drafted you may have voluntered.If your member stats are correct that would have been 1972 to 79. The Veit Nam war was almost over did you have to go?I had a freind in the army during that time who did service in Germany & was never sent to VN.On the other hand a girlfreind's brother was a tunnel rat in VN He commited suicide about 2 years after coming home.Didn't you have freinds outside the military that had apartments that were simular or even before 1972 older freinds or siblings that did.I have heard of people treating soldiers badly during that time it just didn't seem to happen here.At least from what I saw.I wasn't in to the take any drug somebody handed you thing either. I did smoke herbs other than tobacco (I bet that admision would be hard to use in court) But I quit that over 20 years ago. And would be the first one to recomend staying drug free to the younger generation.

bwt1953 : Well I guess us Texas hippies are different than the San Francisco hippies.Janis Joplin was a good old Texas hippie. The years have changed the hippie in me some anyway but I did just cut my hair from shoulder legnth ( my usual winter legnth) to quite a bit shorter for summer.I've been doing that for 20 years or so .Before that I hardly ever cut it shorter than shoulder legnth. But you are from that generation so you know Tie dye sheet curtains .fish nets hanging from the ceiling.cool psycadelic posters(both blacklight & regular,Lava lamp.strobe light, music sensored colored light boxes,Tuck& roll velvet headboard,king size bed.velvet curtains.swag lamps.egg shaped pedestal stereo,TV,&speakers with a few more regular "square speakers" My house mate had a on the floor water bed (they weren't making the pedestal type yet at least not available here) So for a young hippie pretty cool pad. If you think about it most of John Wayne's movies are pre 1970.

I just used the quote button in this topic to test it.It worked for me so I don't know

VanBuren &

lazy8: Did you just do the test I tried to connect to the gamer site & couldn't .I have had this happen before & was told sometimes Van has his site offline.

.s1: Then we would just have to hang that rope smoker.

QwertyWI: I have regular dial-up I was just passing on what I had read about PPPoE.Try to go up the tech or management level at Verizon until you get an awnser they should know what they are selling you.This can be frustrating comunicating with any tech staff since so many are foreign.But this way you will know for sure what you have.If another member has the same connection as you it is probably the same but I would at least give a good try to get Verizon to tell you.Even get them to put it in writing after all you have a contract with them.Good Luck

QwertyWI: I 'm sure not the expert on this so someone with experience could add to this .I think if it is PPPoE the MTU should be 1492.MTU-40=MSS is the formula .So 1452 should be the correct MSS.

my post didn't make since to the yadda yadda yadda edit .so I edited mine too.

Maybe a combination like a story&photo of Bill Gates stump breaking his horse.

moonlord : Any news is pretty vague like I don't think you want the Farm&Ranch report

dslr is ok but they are not very responsive to anything 56K.Just to get their tweak test to complete I have to put in ISDN instead of dial-up& 128 as the speed to get full results.It then gives as close to good information as its going to give if you use dial-up.I question the accuracy of the upload speed they report for my dial-up. At testmy I can do any of the tests although I usually select the top 2 because of dial-up.I have done the largest one before though I will repeat what CA3LE asked exactly what news?If you let him know what you want maybe he will add it. This is there speed test on my dial-up 2005-04-21 18:47:11 EST: 32 / 68 Your download speed : 33739 bps, or 32 kbps. A 4.1 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked? Your upload speed : 70052 bps, or 68 kbps.

jackel235:I can tell that you are a newbie so this is just some general advice.Slow down on the tweaking stop doing every tweak you find.Try to find out what the tweak is supposed to do so you know what the probable end result will be. Write down your old settings so you can put your OS back like it was before a bad tweak specially if you get a complete crash.IMO

Hey all: I don't know this or I wouldn't ask what about a big dish like a 10 foot dish? I know some people still use these for TV .How would they work for a satellite connection?

Probably for upper class yuppies in Better Homes & Gardens magazine.Nothing like my parents house (I was only 17 in 1970).A couple of years later my first hippie pad sure looked a lot cooler man.

I noticed too some of us use it & some of us need it.

vetteman: Have you tried this specifically:I don't have XP I have ME.I had a simular problem but I only had 2 viruses my anti-avius program wouldn't remove in regular mode.I went to their forum(AVG) & got the instructions that I am giving you.My anti-virus is AVG but I don't see why this wouldn't work withanother av program.First you need two programs(freeware) you can download they are Stinger &CW Shredder.then start your system in safe mode.All this will be done in safe mode.Run your AV let it clean what it can,run CW Shredder,Run Stinger,then run your anti spyware program clean what it finds.Restart your PC to normal mode run your AV program to see if it finds any more viruses .In my case this cleaned them out.Maybe this would work for you.If not you could try AVG anti-virus program & follow the instructions again. You can try Ad-Aware. www.lavasoft.com I haven't used Hijack This so I don't know how well it works. Most of my info came from the AVG forum I would recomend you check it out .I got more information there when I had a problem.Since I did all this a the same time I really don't know exacyly what corrected the problem.I use Sygate firewall instead of Norton so I can't comment on it either. I think something is deleting the cookie from testmy is the reason for the "guest user".I use Spyware Blaster instead of Microsoft spynet. My system tests clean except for a few MRU's AdAware finds. I hope this helps. It sounds like someone is attacking you personally.Does your ISP block viruses I would seek their help

I couldn't see the attachment either but I think the quote above might have been what the report was about.. Since I don't look or smell like either one I wasn't offended.

Cobra : I use dial-up & so far I haven't had any of the sigs cause me a noticeable problem.Some pictures posted do sometimes load slowly.But the sigs with text do not seem to slow my speed down.Just thought you might want this info. Cholla

vetteman : https://testmy.net/topic-4333 Check out this topic it is a simular problem& has suggestions to help. read this one too https://testmy.net/topic-2097

dlewis23: Thats what I said: Winmodem=software modem=controllerless modem All use OS CPU for control Hardware modem= on board controler modem =promodem(short for processor modem) less CPU use for modem However my personal experience my internal software modem is faster than my external hardware modem it just uses the CPU more.This is not the case for everyone.

Just thought I would say my g-mail is working fine.I did have a problem getting it one day but this was OK by the next day it has been fine since. Cholla

peepnklown: Yes I know that a controlerless software modem is sometimes called a WinModem but the modem manufacturers usually don't use this term.I just wanted to make sure 24kbps was looking for a hardware(on board controller modem) The link had limited information on the modem.You can get higher speeds if your ISP supports V.90 standards too. The main difference is the call on hold features. The modem he is looking at is a hardware modem I didn't research it much further.I have heard good things about Zoom modems .I would at least check out theirs.Diamond pioneered the shotgun technology but they went out of business for awhile.I'm not sure they are the same now. 24kbps are you using a serial or usb to connect the modem to your PC?
