  1. you need to forward ports 6881-6890 tpc/udp for the full speed. It might just be tcp i think but forward both just incase.. once you forward them go to this website and run the test.. http://btfaq.com/natcheck.pl
  2. not a huge fan of they type, the type where the screen can turn. I have a friend with a toshiba one.. and we were sitting in class the other day and he turned it to take notes and the plastic piece that holds the LCD to the base broke off. Now he has to ship it back in for repairs on it.. and from what he understands it is not covered under warrenty.
  3. Welcome to the Forum! Are you talking about your download speeds on the torrents? if that is the case there are a few other things that you can try.. What torrent tracker are you using?
  4. They do skimp on the ram.. however, the desktop are good looking! If you really want to get a good looking laptop then I would find an apple store and checking out the new pro books. They might be a bit much right now but i am sure that they will come down in price pretty fast.
  5. if you are looking for mobility you might want to look into levono aka IBM..
  6. what bridging connections does is make two seperate segments of a network one to the local user. Here is a decent article on what it is all about.. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02april22.mspx
  7. yeah.. it is always a pleasure dealing with cingular.. I dont mind Dell so much.. they are WILLING to work with you! The fact that they gave me free overnight on my stuff that I have to replace for friends in the past year or so make most of us forget that we have a problem. They even offered to send a tech to install the HD for free. I declined because of the scheduling.. but still!
  8. tech support stories.. I had Dell send me the wrong drivers on my laptop so the wi-fi card wouldn

  18. download the new quicktime.. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
  19. that is pretty solid..
  20. never owned a tv tuner.. but the review look alright for the product.. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=636&pageID=788 http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/reviews/5357/1 Could be poor drivers on their part.. look like the install docs suck.. so just download the latest ones from their website.
  21. make sure that you are using the latest firmware on the router.. and try a power cycle of the router.. some types that will make a huge difference!! What type of router is it? BTW you should get about 75-80% of your ethernet speed on your wifi connection.. I am about 19,000kbps and i get about 15-16k on my 54g connection.. If you are still using an 802.11b, 11mbps, then it would make sense that on the wifi you are only getting about 2000ish. most of the throughput on those ranges between 2.5mpbs and 5.5mbps.. which is less than the overall bandwidth of your connection.
