Not sure what was going on, that router and my Surfboard modem just did not work well together.

I have been using the Linksys N router for a little over two weeks now with not a single hickup.

I could connect to the modems webpage for about 20-30 seconds, then the connection was no longer there.

I tried multiple DNS servers, The router would not maintain communication with the modem for some reason.

I now have a new Linksys N router, which was up and running within 5 minutes.

I was able to connect to the modem through the router for about 30 seconds then connection was interupted.

2nd call to d-link with no results.

Going to RMA this and try another router.

Recieved router replacement.

Hooked everyting up, performed setup - No Internet

I can go to command screen and ping an address and it comes back good (pcakets sent=4, packets recieved =4, loss=0)

Spent 2 hours on phone with D-Link tech support, they say it is a DNS problem, call your ISP get DNS addresses and call us back.

Emailed back and forth with D-Link tech support, router would not connect no matter what we tried.

Ended up getting an RMA for the unit, going to try another one.

I am on charter-cable not dsl, thank goodness.

I have reset the modem each time I have switched the router.

I have updated the firmware in the router to the latest.

I am using a motorola surfboard modem.

Any tips on manual setup?

I am upgrading from a linksys wireless g router to a dlink dir-655 wireless n router.

The new router will not connect to the internet, if i switch back to the old router all is ok.

I have tried automatic and manual setup and nothing seems to work.

Paying for 8M/1M and just got this,

Also running the 64 Bit Mozilla 7.0a1 Nightly release

Took about an hour and a half, but it finally finished. It installed SP1 and IE9 along with several other updates at the same time.

Thanks

My wife tried to reboot her laptop (old T-43) it has now bee sitting for the last 45 minutes with "Preparing to configure windows Do Not Turn Off Your Computer" on the screen.

My question is what will it do if I force a shut down?

Well, after all is said and done decided to go with external usb network adapter.

Could I possibly upgrade to a wireless N adapter like this one?

It appears to be the same interface.

It is a Sony VAIO VGN-FE670G notebook

I hope someone here can help me with this. I have a Sony VAIO notebook with a Intel PRO/100 network adapter that is failing. This to my understanding is a obsolete unit. Can someone tell me if there is a newer unit that will plug into the same mini pci slot and work for my notebook.

Thanks you in advance.

Bad ass, I'll have to check that out. I was planning on buying a base model then upgrading it to SSD and 4GB ram (I've heard that some people have put up to 8GB in them but Apple doesn't officially support it). I've seen they have a model with two hard drives, I wonder does that mean that I can install an SSD and leave the original drive in there as storage then run the system off the SSD? I need to see if there is mounting available in the base model for the 2nd drive though... otherwise I'll just run storage externally.

So they come pretty much brand new?

MAC or PC, it is a tool, to that it is a matter of which tool works best for you.

So heres the short version.

Used car dealers sell cars to people with bad credit and install 'kill switch' black boxes into the cars, in case the owner is late in a payment. So this guy gets laid off and access the system and puts out the kill command to 100's of cars. And he would of kept going if the company hadn't changed the passwords for all employee accounts.

Imagine if this happened to the 'On-Star' system. And if you have On-Star? Read the privacy agreement.

Sounds like Omar just took advantage of the fact that someone did not change the system password after they fired him.

Having said that, I think he deserves whatever he gets.

My windows 7 machine sits idle about 60% of the time, so I thought this would be a good use of all of that idle time.

Thanks for the help,

Lets see if it works now...

Thanks again, working now

Thanks I will try this to see if it works, I am not very good at webpage coding

Well I did not get that one right.....I need that explained in simplified terms

Thanks

I did an Upgrade from Vista to 7, went flawless.

I only had one program I had to reinstall.  It was the ATI rage program.

System runs much faster and much leaner.
