It' been a while since I've signed on and I'm sad to find this about ROCO. We had emailed back and forth many times. We compared gardens, with pics, his floral, mine vegetable. I lost contact somewhere back in time, I believed he may have moved and changed ISP.
I think about ten years ago I was debating on visiting him, we discussed it a little. I guess I never acquired enough feathers for the flight.

Nothing happening here, I guess everyone's in the pisser.

Been so busy past few years, grandkids seem to keep you on the run. I hadn't chatted with EWO in a while but he did send me some pictures to compare when he got about 4 inches of snow one time. Had wanted to take a ride and meet in person but kept putting it off, now I'll have to wait a little.

always found being polite scored .
who the hell as a paid erk needs to be personaly insulted by a customer , that only leads to be given the run around ,
thats the only power he has ,
heck, got a complaint why chew the ass of a under paid low level guy , make him your frend , you will stand out in his view , and more likely to get past on to higher help if needed ,
Biggles, you speak wise and gentlemanly.
Would U be my friend?

@ Granpa I deny any knowledge of living or
luving a gal at Chestnut walk Sevenoaks Kent
UK , we where just platonic friendsGood job you wasn’t my navigator/bomb
aimer , your about 20 miles out ,Maybe post codes (zip- code ? ) are more accurate
, I am at KT 8 9AU (Google Earth)About ½ mile to the west of the Royal Palace
, on the north bank of the river Thames ,That puts me in Middx , (Middlesex ) lol we have 4 sexes in the uk,
Southsex, Eastsex , and Westsex , and there I am stuck in the middle –sex
Note we don’t do north-sex , well not often
, LOl ,Maybe the inaccuracy was on longitude I am West of the meridian line not East ,
I used the coordinates given by someone in your neighborhood and plugged them in.
As for the four did U forget another (nosex)

Thats one long ride dude , thats some road trip , did you raise cain on the way ,
my ref. is 51.26 00 N - clue > O.22 210 W
No cain, it appears you are located somewhere between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.

Platters to 8 tracks to cassette .........
Platters; the first big hit I belive was in 1953.

I used to offer this option prior to 2005. But I didn't like the way I did it before so I scrapped the idea for a while. Today I'm releasing an option to those of you that would like to host your own speed test.
This is very early stage, more options etc are soon to come. I will eventually build a GUI for the signup and management but for now just shoot me a message. I'll update this thread as more information becomes available.
It's been a while since following here, how would you like that message shot to you. No more pigeons but I thinks I have some arrows around.

I like my speeds in the snow now. And the leaves gone does not hurt speeds either.

You formatted the whole computer?
Last time I reformatted the whole computer I had to replace everything from the case inward

This is all I get testing with my wife online.

maybe I can get my card to reduce the output power this in turn may make my card last longer?! also would cut down on radio emissions created by this Microwave link I have attached to my server.
Just a thought, I could be wrong and if I am could someone clarify this for me?
Thanks.
I have never found anything to reduce the power of the modem, I don't think you would want to though and as for lasting longer, who knows.As for the micro waves we are constantly bombarded with them anyway, all you added is the transmit.
I do know I had a speed problem when I first got my setup. I called Sprint and got an engineer who told me I was directly between two towers and I may be jumping back and forth. He told me what tower had the faster throughput and I placed the modem (plugged into the Linksys with a Trucker antenna attached) in a position that blocked it somewhat from the slower tower. Worked fine and has been 18 1/2 months now. I was also told from where I got the modem-router that it only receives through the trucker and transmits from the modem ( towers have far better equipment than we have) which helped me choose a location for blocking one tower.
Hope this helps.
-
Yep, the truckers works well. And speeds still depend on traffic and distance from tower. I have both antennae. I also have a yagi to switch to if one is not responding right.

For the yaggi you need to know where the tower is though as it is directional.
So if these truckers are going faster that means we can go faster too

ur funny...just read this part and forget that ur talking about ur computer connection...
niagra falls is a really romantic spot tho...so maybe they should rename it
Sure is, supposed to get to -2 degrees
tomorrow and is snowing right now. -
That is all the things I have gone trough since I bought my first when PII's came out and I may have not listed them all. I have 4 running PC's at home and a laptop I use on the road all put together or refurbished by myself and after being self taught.
Started with dial-up, then added one-way satellite, then going to 2-way satellite and now with Sprint EVDO and finding free. WiFi with the laptop. ll this to make some use of the PC. I seem to like it when problems arise though, keeps me thinking.

Thanks Zalternate everyone else - I got the info I need!
The ethernet networking cable can run to a max of 300', well within my requirements. The splitters are readily available everywhere. So, I'm ready to order the service and bury the 2" pipe in concrete.
Thanks again - I really appreciate it. I'll probably be back with problems after it's installed.

Here is a site that has much of the information that you need and I had to find out before it became FAQ's
-
I'm not sure I follow that, Granpa. If I use a switch instead of a splitter, then if someone in the guest house wants to go online they'll have to come over here and turn on the switch - right? At least that's how it is with a tv switch.
And if they're on line in the guest house, and I throw the switch to use this computer, I'll cut them off!
This is a network switch not a TV switch. It automatically routes computers on a network. I think your research is yet to continue.

Hi Grandpa
I'm talking about splitting the ethernet cable at the modem, with one line to my PC and running the other line in conduit to the guest house. With more research on the web, I'm realizing that there are other options - like an outdoor wireless router - or an outside directional antennae pointed right at the guest house. Of course the wifi router would have to have an external antenna jack to support that. When I get the installer over here I can ask him about all this stuff and maybe be able to ask intelligent questions.
I've had a lot of experience aiming tv dishes. We RV'ed for several years, until diesel fuel hit 4 bucks
and I got so good at it that I could often setup the portable dish without the compass or satellite finder! I imagine the internet is more precise, though.Jack
Your right, transmitting makes it more precise and the larger the dish also. I found it best to use a switch connected to the modem if you don't want to use a wireless router (can also double as a switch). It also adds more connectivity plus they can be added in down the line extending your networking distance (footage).

I'm not sure about what you mean about using a splitter. You can only use one modem per account, meaning you cannot use a splitters to run 2 modems from one satellite dish. You must know what satellite you will be on and only Hughes assigns that no matter what a dealer may say. I'm not up on current satellites since going to Sprint over a year ago. You cannot do your on install but you can set the pipe mount after you get an account with Hughes and know the satellite your on.
I did experiment with my system moving my dish locations at home, very sensitive adjustments and hard even understanding how to do it. Each move was aimed at the same satellite also. I did get better signal strength than my installer though. My last dish move (with a DW7000) was 300 miles away and I hit it right on and is still working from a year and a half ago. Good Luck.

Once in a while I remember how to log in only to find old friends here are leaving, passing on, seems no different than what's been happening all around me here at home.
I think of them now and then.
