doh! yeah, what he said. sorry. brain is operating at only 35 percent of optimum efficiency.

uhm. yeah. umminGBir edit interesting, leaving out the h and d triggers it too. umminGBird mminGBird minGBird inGBird nGBird GBird humminGBir humminGBi umminGB mminGB minGB inGB nGB GB humminGBir umminGBir mminGBir minGBir inGBir nGBir GBir humminGBi umminGBi mminGBi minGBi inGBi nGBi GBi let's see... edit. hm, i've got a strange suspicion. humminusaird edit apparently not a country code thing. i'm stumped.

ah, ok, you are slightly slow then. locate a post by netmasta. he has 2 links in his signature. follow those steps, see if it helps.

humminGBird edit: don't you just hate programmers with a screwy sense of humor.

are you using firefox? ZING!!!

100 bps?

check your bill to see what you are paying then their website, that should give you a clue as to how fast it should be.

first of all, how fast are you supposed to be? meaning, what package are you payting for, what speed is advertised for it. if you are at that speed, tweaking will probably result only in a marginal increase, if at all.

well, if you do post about humminGBirds, be sure to put it in the off topic section, unless you have the critters trained like carrier pigeons and use them as a backup to your isp.

it's what i do too. untrustworthy people and sites get the [email protected] that i don't even check, except maybe to pick up a validation link or something. in fact if i am not sure and think i might want to receive from someone i give an address, i give him a nonexistent one @mydomain and let the catchall put it in my inbox. if it turns out i get spammed there, i then go and actually set up the email as a forward to my spamsink.

that's what i mean. with your own domain you don't need the isp's email services, except maybe to forward stuff from your domain to to use their webmail.

cholla, do what i do. i pay a few bucks a month for a webhosting package that gives me a domain, a bunch of e-mails, some ionline storage and other stuff. that way i have decent emails at my own domain, and when i change isps nothing changes.

first, the developing nations part is a good thought, but the issue with powerline transmission is range just like dsl, i think if they do have power to run a comp then they are better off using satellite internet. and to the other q, it is faster than phone line, but unlike phone, dsl, cable etc, the bandwidth of the line from the transformer is shared between all the users.

what got me bending over with cramps from laughing was the iran/n.-s.-korea labeled australia.

you're getting ahead of yourself. first, go to store, purchase 99 buck winxp home. install on other comp, save it from existence as paperweight.. second, go to device manager, remove nic from list, uninstall drivers if it asks, then reboot.

i'm not convinced his nic is dead.

have you tried using a different cable to connect to the router? also, if you have multiple comps hooked up, is the speed between them as good as when you p2p them? (in case you have a crossover cable at hand)

did you remove it from the device manager and reinstall drivers?

yeah, after fiddling with the bloody things for going on 16 years now i quickly reach the stage where i give a properly running pc the <it's good enough> stamp of approval. does wonders for my blood pressure.

you said off.

you want the automatically detect to be not disabled. in other words, turn ON the automatically detect.

just a question, are you sitting in the clients data center while waiting for someone to answer your questions here?
