    cholla got a reaction from CA3LE in Event Veiwer error   
    I have fixed the SChannel errors.
     
    I started with unchecking all of these in Internet Options/Advanced.
    SSL 2.0
    SSL 3.0
    TLS 1.0
    TLS 1.1
    TLS 1.2
    This worked to fix the error but my email images were now all the small black box with a X inside.
    Not what I wanted.
    So I checked them one at a time & tested with a reboot in between.
    All need to be checked.
    But that is not all.
    I had to go into the Registry & change the settings.
    This made the settings permanent.
    This is the registry location.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols
     
    Two days now & NO SChannel; errors.
     
    This could make my OS less secure.
    I use Avast email scanner & I do not use IE or Edge.
    So I believe I"m OK

    @ mudmanc4,
    This is the post I found the YouTube link in.
     
    If you don't know the arrow in the upper right corner takes you to the post.
     
    I should have said I am also saddened by Richard's passing.
    I had a lot of fun with the movie quote topic with him.
    Other topics as well.
    Richard's birthday was one day later than mine but 4 years earlier.

    CA3LE thanks for combining my posts the .GIF was an afterthought.
     
    Since Thanksgiving is finished for this year I thought I would link an old topic,
    I must have PMed water the complete instructions.
    I though they were all in the topic but they were not.
    Any way she followed them close enough &  said her turkey turned out well.
    I've cooked about 36 more turkeys this way since the topic.
    I wish I still had the complete instructions written.
    I do not need them for myself but if anyone else wanted them.

    CA3LE,
     
    I thought the same.
    Since I do power all equipment off whenever I go to bed.
     
    I worked with this some more & found the cause & a solution.
    The cause was my OOMA Telo.
    When starting my modem , router , & the OOMA Telo they are on their own separate Power strip.
    This is so I can start them first & power cycle them without shutting down my computer if I want to.
     
    Then I turn on a different power strip for my computer.
     
    What was happening is the OOMA Telo started first and received 192.168.1.2 .
    My computer Network Card wanted 192.168.1.2 but had to accept 192.168.1.3.
    As far as I can tell my network card was denied 192.168.1.3 at first then received it.
    So my computer & network card worked & showed 192.168.1.3 using ipconfig /all .
     
    The solution was going into my router.
    Then using Address Reservation for a higher IP Address 192.168.1.25 for example.
    I also set the same in the OOMA Telo as a 'Static IP Address".
     
    Now no more error shows up even after several reboots.

    CA3LE I decided to install a fresh Firefox portable also.
    Something must have corrupted this browser also.
    The fresh copy seems to work for the tests.
    I ran my antivirus & it did not find anything.
    So I do not know why the portable browsers got corrupted.
    For right now the problem is gone.
    I also tried the corrupt version again & it has the lag problem.
    So it has to be a corrupt file in it.

    Thanks CA3LE,
    I pinged dallas.testmy.net the results in latency were about the same as in the image I posted.
    So close enough for me.
     
    I finally checked out the location under your avatar.
     
    I don't know exactly where the problem was but I suspect a corrupt file  in the Opera Portable folder.
    It seems to be doing the tests now without the pause & incorrect very fast speed.

    cholla got a reaction from CA3LE in What does ISP mean by "filter" rendering modem incompatible?   
    Cool on the FREE dial-up.
    Even more that it always gave you 56K.
    I was sometimes able to connect at 56K but most of the time less.
     
    I never used any dial-up modem that was not 56K.
    A good friend of mine was into the bulitin boards.
    He had a modem that he layed the old style telephone headset into.
    I believe it was 9600 baud but may have been even slower.
     
    I got started with the Internet which was later.
     
    I listened to 4 of the different dial up sounds on the wiki.
    I will give the rest a listen to later.

    Sorry to hear about Tommie.
    WE had kept in touch even by email but that slacked off & I guess is had been longer than I thought.
     
    He was always very fond of his daughters.
    Loved the USA.
     
    I don't do Facebook or any of that type social media.
    So I would never have seem it on those.

    RIP ROCO .
    I communicated with ROCO by email for a while.
    Both that way & on the forum we discussed many things.
    He really liked his Citroen cars.
     
    I must have emailed something that pissed him off.
    He suddenly stopped answering emails from me.
    I sent about 4 more emails to see if I could find out the reason.
    Then a couple of more times over several years but no response.
    I didn't want to spam ROCO.
    I guess he had his reasons.

    @tdawnaz 
    I'm sure it was something I wrote I just never found out what.
    ROCO had even sent me a new email address when he changed ISPs.
    We had several emails over a couple of years then none.

    I posted this on the Avast forum:
     
    After being ask some questions about Avast version,Other AV & Malware programs, & OS.
    This was the answer I got:
     
    Note nowhere was my question about the DNS server Avast was trying to use answered.
    I wanted to know why Avast was attempting to "Phone Home".
    I have all the send information & the like turned off in Avast.
     
    In doing some Searching I found this similar URL.
    Either click on it or copy & paste it.
    http://ip-info.ff.avast.com/v1/info
    You will get some information about your location & other things.
    So it appears Avast is sending information home.

    I have the 4.08 installer that shows 2007 as the date I downloaded it.
     
    I don't have CableNut installed on my computers any more.
     
    I bet it is still on my mothballed IBM with Windows 98 SE on it.
    It's probably been 3 or 4 years since I booted it.
    It booted fine but surfed very poorly.
    No web site likes even the latest version of a browser that Windows 98SE will run,
    Which is some old FireFox portable.
     
    I keep it so if I want to run some old program if I need to.

    Welcome to the forum.
     
    I would search for & read some reviews recommended modems for AT&T DSL .
    There probably is a better one.
    I had AT&T DSL a long time ago .
    I am in town so I got the paid for speed.
     
    This may not work for you & AT&T may not offer this any more.
    I dropped my landline but kept DSL.
    This allowed me a dedicated DSL line with no filters needed.
    This did get the speed to the max paid speed fairly constantly.
     
    I went to cell phone only for a while.
    Then I went to VOIP with Skype.
    It worked OK since I didn't video Skype.
     
    I have cable now & I use an OOMA Telo for my VOIP.
    I believe it will also work with DSL.
     
    I doubt the Firestick will ever stream well with DSL.
     
    I dropped any satellite or cable TV .
    I have a good antenna & get my TV OTA.
     
    For YouTube.
    Download with a downloader .
    Then play with a video player on your computer.
     
    I use this downloader: Just keep using the free starter version.It works well for most things.

    VLC is a good media player that will play most videos.
    It works a lot better than WMP.

    I just like a good joke if there is one.
    I had seen the Bernie meme on the internet.
    That's how I knew who it was.
    I just thought there might be more when he was on the hood of a Chinese car or at least a car with Chinese writing on the door.
    I'm not an expert it could even be Japanese writing.
    I don't plan on learning either.
    I guess it can be good to know:
