i don't run norton and don't currently have a copy of norton or a comp with it installed available. make a new thread titled norton av help or something and see if anyone knows what's up. and i /am/ just guessing that that's what's wrong.

yeah, i am. strong drink giveth the desire but taketh away the ability. booze doesn't do much for me. i need half a bottle of scotch just to get slightly tipsy. so it's just not cost effective.

i that case you can lose the router unless you want the hardware firewall it usually provides. it shouldn't affect speed significantly. and if you are connecting the laptop to the router wired the same tweaks as for the desktop should work.

ok, say a third of the members did that. that still means we're at 15000, which isn't bad.

considering you're testing from new zealand a 25 percent drop in speed to testmynet isn't unusual. try testing to a site closer to you.

off the top of my noggin i'd say norton is trying to fix the registry settings cablenut tweaked. try running cablenut, saving the settings tyou made (if they were faster than before) to a file. then remove cablenut settings and save to registry (go back to the win defaults). when you reboot norton might not act up because when it compares the registry to the image it took of it (i am inferring that norton made a note of the registry and detected changes and wants to revert them but is running into some problem doing so). if that is the case, turn off the registry monitoring for norton, run cablenut and load the saved file and save it, then reboot. now reactivate the norton registry protection (if that is what it was) and see if it accepts the changed registry as the new standard. (having something monitor the registry is not a bad idea since it can catch malware trying to write itself in).

besides the yelling, you're spamming again. let me explain it to you: if you are not sure where to post a question, comment, blurb, rant, flame or revelation stick it in a new topic in general discussion. most everyone will see it there and the moderators will (re)move it as needed. the caps lock key is usually located somewhere between the left tab and shift key. pressing it should make a little light on your keyboard turn off. if not, then tapping the shift key should do it.

installation software? you wouldn't be trying to hook up your modem via usb?

so everyone pm and welcome him. means he gets 19999 pm's...

according to the number displayed on hovering bobber77 is it.

yes. no.

i feel like pming nr. 20000 with congratulations....

i personally haven't, but it's happened before. if you bought yours however, you might have to agree to rent one. just call em and ask the tech, he will be able to tell you what the deal is.

and yes, if somebody double-triple-quadruple and quintupleposts the same exact post on multiple threads, i think that is spamming.

so all your 5 posts are the same spam or what. reported.

3rd time i've seen this post. i wonder what your employer would say about you spamming information about future plans on message boards. Merry Christmas!

10 millibit download? that is horribly slow. and a 1024 millibit upload is slow as well. but faster than the upload by a factor of 102.4. weird policy. slower than dialup with a weird speed balance. for how much? or did you mean Mb for Megabit? in that case the 1024 Mb upload is gonna make many people happy. how do i subscribe to the 1 Gigabit upload? sincerely, signed, Wiseass. (in the metric system the small m stands for milli which is 1/1000th and the M is for Mega which stands for a factor of 1000.

i think i remember something about damaged heatsinks falsifying the temp readings...

the feds got 'em.

unless your dl is really really really, i mean REALLY fast, no.

ul looks good. the dl needs some serious help. read the links in my sig and post info. merry xmas.

chunk missing sounds like more than a scratch. if you take a pic try to put a ruler next to it so we can get some scale.

ok, pin this exhaustive list of programs that are free counterparts to commercial software. www.suse.com www.redhat.com or google linux. now i gotta run. santa brought me a shotgun, and i'm gonna go shoot me some penguins.

first comp was a commodore c16+4 ca. 1986 first ibm compatible was a 286-12MHz, 640K ram, 256K VGA, 14" Color Monitor, 5.25 floppy (HD), 48 MB Seagate SCSI HDD (5.25" Full Height internal, 28ms random access), 9 Pin epson printer. quite the rig for about 2200 dollars in 1989. about the third of the price of a small pickup truck.
