HAHA, maybe CA3LE needs a new site: www.testmyPatience.net At leat we have the off topic section when we feel like slugging it out on non tech items.

Rant Warning, again. Thanks Reso, I agree with you. If one wants to advance then they should speak English in the USA (including Puerto Rico). I used to live in Oregon, and there are numerous immigrants out there. there were even a few Plaid Pantry's (convenient stores) owned by Chinese that had employees that did not speak English. I do not know a single word in Chinese, so I was forced just to walk out. Very annoying. These were in the suburbs, too, not the China Town area. But rest assured, if I moved to a non English speaking country, I would learn the language, it would be my obligation as a guest in their land. Roco, where I live there are a lot of meat processing plants. Every so often the INS and State Police raid them and with the same result; hundreds arrested, and hundreds fleeing through the fields. The last time there was a major bust, there were children left at schools with no parents to pick them up; let alone to go home with. Many of the kids had been born here, so they are citizens, but the parents were illegals and therefore usually deported. It was a huge mess, the children should not have been separated from their parents, but what else could be done? Something needs to change. If our democracy (US, Britain) is such a disgrace to the rest of the non-free world, then why all of the illegal immigration? I'm sure there are examples out there, but I can't recall any US or British citizens illegally crossing into Mexico, or Russia or China for anything other then political or legal reasons. Well enough on this subject - sorry everybody.

Nice find Roco. I just need my BP raised up a little more tonight, THANKS!!!!!!!! Anyways, I hope I don't run into them, they won't get any help from me. Unless you are an obvious tourist, THEN SPEAKA' FREAKIN' ENGLISH!!!!!! This is the USA, not Chihuahua. If, God forbid, I ever find my dumb ass in Chihuahua, or whatever, then I will learn Spanish. Until then, ENGLISH. I know what this country was founded on, but we speak English damnit. Roco, what do the good people in the UK think of foreigners moving in and working next to you but flat out refusing to learn English?

FYI, there was another trooper there at the very end of the video. Maybe he was supposed to check the plane while the other one stopped the car that originally would not pull over; possibly before the plane popped onto the screen.

Good God, I didn't know that the one way system even existed any more. Return in the cable plant is quite simple; one system I used to worked for has had the two way running since 1979. Enjoy your new found speeds and ease of use!!!!

Thanks!

Sorry bout the douche thing Crap - lets drink to our fallen comrades. Shug, do what you gotta do.

douche :haha:

Does anyone have any more invites left? <snipped email> if you do; appreciate it. Edit by just-: took out email after user request

It looks like it is available on XP Pro; I have XP Home and gpedit.msc doesn't exhist on mine. It looks like it may have been something fun to tinker with, thought.

Does not look bad on my end this morning. But we can only ping back to retiredat44's gateway, we are not testing the actual RF plant on his end. We would need his private IP address; also the DOCSIS physical layer is transparent to us and that appears to me to be where most problems have been. Hope things keep improving for you...

Well that all looks good, levels are well within the window and you have a 40dB SNR on the downstream which is very good. Since you have 2 PCs connected, both getting the same slow speeds - the first device in common is the Belkin router. I would try disconnecting the router and plugging the modem straight in to the wired PC and check results. You may need to re-boot the PC and router to get a connection. This should at least help narrow it down to a simple Comcast problem.

The pings look good, in that group of 50 anyways. I like to see the levels, just try clicking the link below; or type 192.168.100.1 into your browser than choose the "Signal" tab. http://192.168.100.1/signal.htm (this will bring up the internal diagnostics on your modem, unless Comcast blocks it there)

What brand and model of cable modem do you have? And try pinging Testmy.net and post back here: From command prompt: type "ping www.testmy.net -n 50" That will ping it 50 times.

Welcome to the forum. What does your wired PC get for test results? And, if possible, can you pull your modem levels. If it is a Motorola modem try this link: http://192.168.100.1/signal.htm Paste results here (just text will work).

That's a load o' crap, chucky. I would be finding a new one tomorrow, also. I work for a local phone co and just today worked with a business customer whose lines were down due to heavy flooding. I wanted to fix their problem, but I have not been issued SCUBA gear; the equipment is 4-5 feet under water. Anyways, I called the office and had many of his lines forwarded to cell phones, etc.., since he understood that I was unable to fix it today (which I hate doing, but I could not do anything to bring them up). Anyways, hope you have better luck with a competitor.

I'll vote for kinda funny. Poor shit, blew it all....

Just another beautiful night in the Plains, tornadoes all around. I have to admit, I never get bored of the active weather around here. It is too bad about the folks in Greensburg, KS, though. Local Radar I live right in the middle of this radar shot.

Have you checked to see if there are any local wireless providers around?? (ie: Wi-Fi) Another possible option. edit: Welcome to the forum; I missed the 1st post thingy.

Like GIXXERGUY6 said, make sure there are no 2.4 GHz phones near the PC or wireless access point. My parents had issues until I drove 200 miles to their home just to find that her 2.4 GHz phone was right next to the laptop, now all is well. As for the external antenna; that will most likely stabilize your connection. I would go that route. You could even try a high gain antenna on both the AP and the far computer if you wanted. Just be sure that the add on antenna has the proper connector. (ie: reverse SMA, etc.)

Looks like you have been PowerBoosted - Congrats! http://www.xchangemag.com/hotnews/74h2513334.html Google Results

oof, Damn glad you are OK....

I see. My bad. I need to find myself a "dealer" here. The last time I had real salsa was during a quick trip to Austin. That certainly wasn't Pace or any other US brand. BTW, hometown Roswell? Now I get you... Nanoo Nanoo, my friend.

Shug, there is a difference between Mexicans and New Mexicans. It's like comparing real Mexican salsa to Pace Chunky Salsa..........

I have a gateway laptop that is plugged in at least 9 hours a day when I am working. this is my 4th or 5th laptop over the years I have had (due to upgrades) and leaving them plugged in has never caused me any issue's. Today's notebooks are pretty smart when it comes to power, so i personally would not sweat it. BTW, I just installed Speedfan on an older spare PC I have at home, and it gave me some pretty good readings and info on temps and fan speeds. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
