  1. Just thought I would try smart test vs. 579 file test. Smart test: "Ouch, are you on dial-up or something? :::..

  2. Restarting, you mean like the lights go out and the slowly come on by their selves? That would be truly annoying! Especially if you werein the middle of something!
  3. What a great site, hugh vudutu. Where else can you go and get help like that. Sometimes you just have to say that CA3LE Rocks! :notworthy:
  4. Welcome to the forum zero10951. So you are sure it is clean, and you have cleaned it in safe mode with networking, with your Anti-Virus? By the way which AV are you using? Which firewall? Have you tried without your firewall on? The hissing noise, have you actually opened up the box and tried to locate where the noise is, or if you see any sparks? Have you tweaked your connection yet? http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Just pick a file that you need. Hope this helps.
  5. Why would you uninstall it? "is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform." The .NET Framework 2.0 runtime file package includes everything you need to run applications developed using Microsoft's .NET Framework programming tools. What does this mean for the average user of a computer? If a software author uses .NET Framework to write programs, then you will need this runtime package in order to install and use the software. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know whether a program needs these files because often an author fails to mention it in the help files or documentation. Typically the way you find out is that you run the program and an error message appears 'This program requires .NET Framework', 'Runtime error' (caution, this error has lots of different causes) or '1645 Error Installing Microsoft .NET Framework, Return Code [followed by four numbers].' You may even get the wonderfully frustrating 'Setup Failure - unknown reason.' With a little luck, this latest version of the .NET Framework version 2.0 runtime files should get you up and running. Microsoft advise that anyone with an earlier version (eg 1.0 or 1.0 SP2) should also upgrade.
  6. Sorry, what? Hope everybody enjoyed, and had a good time with their families.
  7. I guess it was a little long. I guess I get a little carried about patriotism. I think it was indepedence day pics in google. Pics: http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/aa/presidents/adams/jefferson_1 http://home.att.net/~nyancients/ http://www.campaignleadership.com/blogger/2005_07_01_archive.html Did fallow earth post in here?
  8. So you are running a clean computer? If you are not sure, read: http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257 If so have you tweaked it yet with cable-nut? http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013
  9. "They tell me to reboot the modem, " I assume you mean unplugging the modem cable, not in the site 192.168.0.1? If not try unplugging the modem cable and touch with your finger at least 30 seconds. Also are you cleaning out your cache daily? Defragging files? I do all that before I even start surfing, it helps me even though some will say some is not necessary. By the way, www.example.com does not work for me either. Would you post a speed test using the 2992 file test? Also check to see if your system is properly grounded. And go up and see if your satelite nose has water in it.
  10. Always glad to hear that! Faster is always good.
  11. Well you can always wish. I know I do. Next time you are downloading a large file, check it then. It will be in the download box.
  12. And I suppose there is no way to turn it off on your end for the test? Does it seem faster noticably?
  13. Welcome to the forum baltogun2003. Are you cleaning out your cache before testing?
  14. What are your advertised speeds AnimaRytak? That is DSL, isn't it? Try a larger test file, say 1013. You did use the smart test did you not? And clean out your cache.
  15. The original 13 colonies were under English rule. Actually america was invaded by us. July fourth is Independence Day in the United States, a day when Americans commemorate the signing, in 1776, of the Declaration of Independence, a document that formally severed political ties with Britain, then America's colonial ruler. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." "It's not as if we were waiting for July 4, 1776 to act as an independent country. For the previous year and a quarter or so, there had been an active civil war against the British overlord going on," he says. " July 4, 1776 is the moment when there is the official statement that there is no turning back; we're not going to hope any more for a reconciliation." In a sense, the Declaration of Independence, represented "a kind of a wishful thinking that 'if we say it is so, it will be so!'" Sloan says. "It was an investment by those who signed it to actually make good on the promise of independence and to let the rest of the world know 'we're extremely serious about this.'" "Liberty and freedom have been rallying cries throughout our history, whether it's 'a new birth of freedom' of Lincoln in the Civil War, or 'The Four Freedoms' of Roosevelt in World War II," Foner says. "It's no accident, that President Bush gave the name 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' to the war in Iraq because somehow associating a military venture with the ideal of freedom is a time-honored way of mobilizing popular support for that effort." Herbert Sloan notes that unlike many nations, the United States does not link its origins to a military victory. In 1776, when independence was declared, the British surrender was more than six years off. He says that founding father "John Adams is famous for saying it wasn't the military part that mattered but it was 'the change,' as he put it, 'in the hearts and minds of Americans before 1775. That was the real revolution.'" While July 4th has been American freedom's symbolic anniversary since its founding, the U.S. Congress did not make Independence Day a federal holiday until 1870. Despite the solemn principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence, McDonald believes its commemoration should be joyful. "I think it's somewhat appropriate that Americans gather together with family and friends and other members of the community and shoot off fireworks and have backyard barbeques." Professor McDonald suggests that that is what being a free person may really be all about - celebrating life -- and giving thanks to all those who've contributed to our freedom. July 4th is critical to your success and happiness. However, I am afraid many people just don
  16. My uneducated guess would be one is the speed you actually connect to the internet for a connection, and the second is the speed you transfer the information across the internet. Simpler for me would be like a drag car. The connection speed is the time it takes to get traction. The transfer speed being the time it takes to get all the way down the strip. Actually both very important to winning a race.
  17. Patience daycheck. Remember that over 1/2 of US is still using dial-up. You are already way ahead of the game.
  18. Nice speeds daycheck. Your transfer rate is about the same as my connection speed. Nice.
  19. "TAKE MY F#*&ING ROUTER AND I THROW IT OUT OF THE F#$&ING WINDOW!" At least you will finally win.
  20. Key words bit: minimum unit that handles a computer. (zero a one). byte: it is a set of 8 bits and represents a character. bps: (bit per seconds) unit of measurement of information transference. bytes/s: (bytes per seconds) unit of measurement of transference of information in byte per second (a CPS). 1024 bits = 1 kbits (kilo bit) 1024 bps (bits per second) = 1 kByte/s (kilo byte per second) 1024 bytes = 1 kb (kilo bytes) 1024 bytes/second = 1 kb/s (1 kb per second). 1024 kb = 1 mb (megabyte) 1024 kb/s = 1 mb/s (a megabyte per second)
  21. WHAT? That cannot be! Cached?
  22. Quite an improvement there ahwoogamac. Nice speeds, and 900 more kbps.
  23. I guess I was looking at this site: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/isp.cfm/BorderNET-vSat/411-3.html 512 / 128 kbps vSat 512 / 1000 1 GB $88 /GB Free Static $69.50 /mo But I certainly understand watching the budget. I thought it was $10 more, not $20. See you later. Night. Just thought it might help.
