Before we go any further, go here -- http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=2097.0 read that, and follow those steps, and then post back here..Might just need some tweakin!

HO HO HO Merry Christmas.. Hope all the good people of testmy.net have a great holiday, and a good new year!

Stealth is the way to be.....Can't attack what you can't see... That test only does the first 1056, but is still a good test... Try these.. http://scan.sygate.com/prequickscan.html -quick scan http://scan.sygate.com/prestealthscan.html -stealth scan http://scan.sygate.com/pretrojanscan.html -Trojan port scan http://scan.sygate.com/pretcpscan.html -TCP port scan http://scan.sygate.com/preudpscan.html -UDP port scan

Post what kind of router it is(model), and you can post some screenshots... Its probably in there, just under a submenu, that you missed... If you had problems after screwing with the router, you can also reset router to default(any changes you made will have to be redone).

Its actually more about privacy than space...The index.dat files will hold info about what sites you visit, etc.. For example even if you delete all your temporary files, if you look at the index.dat, there will be a list of all the sites you have been to.

I did a search on pc for all index.dat(including hidden, and system folders of course), and index.dat files are using 389KB worth of space...Or about 1/4 of a floppy disk..

I used to have Optonline 10000/1000, and I still lagged and had ping problems.. Verizon offered us 30000/5000 for like $4 more a month...So glad we switched... My pings that were say 50..are now like 10 and below...(makes up for my old man reflexes..) No more lag..Now I can't blame it on my connection lol..

So the Ethernet card is showing as installed and enabled, but just as unplugged....Is the ethernet cable good? Try turning off pc, power off modem, and reconnect the ethernet cable to pc/modem...make sure the connections seat properly..Then power on the pc/modem..

I wonder if anyone read it and then went and tried it lol...

You probably just need the drivers, if its an onboard(and you have enabled it in bios), either goto the manufactures site, or find the disk that came with the motherboard... Check your device manager for anything with a Yellow Question Mark...See if there is anything under "Network adapters" or possibly "other devices"...Your usb device should be in there too..

Maybe the installer was "special".

LMAO... As stated above, make sure you uninstall the usb drivers...

You're probably fine then...Just figured I'd post it just in case..Can never be too careful.. The internet is like a free hooker that hasn't used a rubber in 20 years(even though she wouldnt live that long)

LOL...Yeah if you can, take $15-$20 and go buy an ethernet card...You will be happy you did...

Port 1027 can also be associated with ICKiller Trojan....Run a security scan, and see what you get... https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 --Try that scan..Click on proceed, and find All Service Ports, and click that.. http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym --Or try the Symantec scan.. Just for reference, my pc is completely stealth, and I am in my DMZ...If you have open ports, you may want to investigate further...

DMZ is the De-Militarized Zone (check under security or gaming area of your router) It will allow your pc to be fully open to the internet(therefore creating some security risks), but also will allow all ports, so you can elimintate ports being blocked as the problem. If you haven't done so yet, check your modem signal levels...Because if your signal levels are too low, there is nothing you can do to your pc to help... Just make sure the levels are within range..Possibly you have a bad connection at the pole or the block coming into the house... There was a wire on the pole here for my neighbors that was completely broke all the way through, but the wire was still touching, so they had tv/cable(but they said tv got fuzzy all the time)..While they were looking at my fitting, my neighbors fitting fell to the ground..(at which point the neighbors came out wondering why the tv went to fuzz)...Long story short, they changed their fitting on the pole, and the next day my neighbor came over and said his cable was all of a sudden 2x as fast...All because of a bad connection... You say this happened after you moved...Possibly its a problem in your area, and you may need to contact your provider to help troubleshoot... If they have free tech support, have them come check the fittings at the pole, and at the block on the house..

Have you checked the switch on your case???

On one of my routers, the #4 port was for the DMZ...try plugging the network cable into the #4 slot on the router, and then make sure your network IP is correct...Then try to enable it..

Actually there is a beer commercial with those lights now...I think a miller commercial...I saw it the other night...

Or stick your PC in the DMZ, and test it...See if your pings are any better..If it works fine in the DMZ, then most likely you don't have all the ports forwarded properly.. Plus you could use more ram...512mb Ram is a little low for BF2 online...It will work, but you probably are stretching your resources..

Santa is so Real... Look here's him getting pulled over in his sleigh... http://imagehouze.com/uploader/files/1/SantaIncident.wmv

Yeah its kinda funny, to play Battlefield 2 with my router, I must be in the De-Militarized Zone...Kinda ironic huh?
