hm. just follow these steps and have the comps use dhcp to get their ip's assigned and you should be good.

what model is the linksys, maybe i can take a peek at the manual online or someone else can clue you in as to what should be set there, if you need to tell it expressly what pc's use what ip or whatever. try giving the old pc the same ip as the one you're on, of course disconnect the one you're on, and see what happens if you feel like poking around.

you might have to type ping.exe at the prompt to be sure it doesn't default to the .com which i think would be picked first if you type just ping.

i hope you didn't just delete that vintage smut? well, that makes it post-bjc era i would figure, so you should be good. just jack that sucker in and fire it up. remember that win98 needs at least a boosted rwin to deal with hi-speed internet properly. of course, you could leave it untweaked, that way it shouldn't go omuch above 1 meg down in any case, leaving it throttled to save the juicy connection for yourself.... edit: the network card drivers are installed, tcp is set up with acquire ip address from server?

materials needed: 1 (one) network cable. possibly a large rubber mallet or a q-tip. take the network cable, insert it into the comp's nic, using possibly the q-tip to first remove any dust/debris/dead critters from the socket and then possibly the mallet if there is too much corrosion. then plug the cable into one of the lan ports on the up and running router. go to ie, tools, internet options, connections, lan settings, detect settings automatically, presto. of course, this is valid only so long as the nic in the comp, don't know how old whatever it is there really is has an rj45 connector. but being a 10/100 it should...

hm, any os i want, for free. hm... i wonder if that would be pirated versions.

hm. did you install off the original disk? one thing that comes to mind is a 'special' version of xp that might have some of its files replaced with junk/malware. that's the only explanation for the borked ping.com i can think of. and ping should be an .exe, not a com. definitely something fishy.

k, thought you meant the whole thing was binary. but then this looks weird too. LocalPriority = 1 Binary Value looks like this 01 00 00 00 HostsPriority = 2 Binary Value looks like this 02 00 00 00 DnsPriority = 3 Binary Value looks like this 03 00 00 00 NetbtPriority = 4 Binary Value looks like this 04 00 00 00 the binary values for 1,2,3 and 4 would be 1, 10, 11 and 100 respectively. so the 04 00 00 00 looks real weird...

well cry me a river. like i care if the users of some third party cobbled together by a bunch of people that microsoft didn't want working for them so they decided they were so cool and would write their own stuff and give it away for free browser can't see it right. it's not like windows doesn't come with a perfectly fine and free browser right out of the box. :evil6: :evil6: :evil6: :evil6:

i would hope that testmy.net doesn't fade into oblivion as fast as ff will. testmy.net is far better than ff.

there is also a loss of speed with wpa. but the increase in security is well worth it imo.

let's all observe a moment of silence in memory of the millenium copyright act that makes it illegal to create, sell, distribute or use software that reverse engineers, alters or removes copyright protection methods.

what ip changes. your private one, the 192.168.xxx.xxx or the public one of your modem?

FAPPED! or rather FUPPED! that sucks.

200 grand just to join the 100 mile high club?

the digit 4 in the dword pretty much precludes it being binary, and hex 14 is dec 20...

lol. not you.; the person i quoted. anywho. if you connect to the modem w/o the router, does the speed stay stable?

nag nag nag. happy now?

hexadecimal

uptown, are all those comps wired, and if so, how so? you sure there wasn't anyone dl'ing something or ul'ing something when you did all the speed tests?

stand in line by 4 pm previous day. end up being up all night to defend your spot. make sure you're at front of doors when they open. doors, open, you make sure you fall, get trampled by crowd. sue wally world for damages, negligence and whatever for allowing you to get trampled. use the insane settlement to buy a decent laptop.

it's green, different and looks wild. it actually looks like a light text color would still be readable without too much trouble, which is the most important thing. why bother putting on an awesome background pic if that means you can't read the display no more...

ask dad how much he's paying, then look at the site to see what package they signed you up for.

it's not really an error from testmynet. it is an accumulation of positrons in your isp's backbone that causes packet loss. simply put, the positrons (positive electrons) join with the electrons carrying the information and negate their charge, thereby losing any information they carried. when thisw is detected, the server originating the lost packets receives a 'flush' command that makes it send a few million '1' bits to the last address that data was sent to. since one bits need a higher number of elctrons to represent them than zero bits, they help gather up all those positrons and eliminate them. sunspot activity is usually the cause of this phenomenon. positively charged solar particles of a medium energy state can then penetrate the earths magnetic field that is overloaded by the huge surge of high energy particles caused by sunstorms and settle onto power and data lines, causing the emission of positrons into the wires. you can check if that is the actual cause by tuning your tv to a station that gives you just static. if the number of black pixels is noticably higher than the number of white pixels then there is a heightened number of positrons present, since normally you would see more white than black pixels, since the white pixels are caused by normal electrons.

hm. if by raiding them you mean raid0 (striping, which ewssentially puts even clusters on one uneven on the other and effectively more or less doubles speed) then the problem is as you mentioned not identical hard drives and you would probably get only double the speed of the slower drive.
