just-

hi there guys some of you might have noticed i haven't been around for the past 2 weeks well the truth is i have been blacked out. yeah i have no internet connection for the past 2 weeks i moved houses on a Saturday and the next Wednesday i was suppose to get internet that Wednesday when i got home i found out my phone line was full of static. I would pick up the phone and i would hear is noise down the line. obviously to stay with so much noise down the line my ISP could not get Adsl to work on that line. took us 1 week to get an engineer on site to find out our line was faulty and it was plugged into faulty equipment in the exchange (not a suprise to me) so he said he would swap us to new equipment and because this line was so OLD he would recommend us to install a new line. that would be free of charge from the Telephone people. so after 1 week and a half with no internet we were going to have to wait for more 5 days to get another engineer on site to install a new line so then i could ask my isp to put my adsl down that new line. well i gave up to admitting i could not do anything else until GUESS WHAT ? i come home today and i have NO PHONE LINE but my ADSL LINE light in my router is on WOOOHOOOO i scream plugged my laptop on and goggle appeared i thought it was cached, so i did a speed test just to make sure i was live on the internet and it work so i don't know how guys i have no dial tone on my phone what so ever but i have internet well until Monday at least i hope

man what an argument LOL i have home edition xp which sucks btw so i cant try that tweak but a few people saying it worked for them thanks for sharing this with us

so basically the suggestions for better performance to play source would be 1- Buy some more ram we recomend 1G 2- buy a better graphics card does this answer your question?

tommie gorman looks like ur graphics card is built into the modo is that ok does it do the job ?

PolaSeeds bare with us i think for us to come with a recomended specs is going to take a while a lot of opinions here do you guys think its worth going for a dual core for a media center i would recomend it but if you are short in cash go for a single core a good remote control would be the Logitech Harmony Remote 680 an ok video card Nvidia Geforce 7800GT

wyantm06 did we answer all your questions? do you need some more help ?

hi CravenMorehead and welcome to the forumz thats not a bad speed if u pay for 6mb and u get 6.2 is it enjoy ur stay here look around for other intresting information

so any good proxy programs for windows that u guys would recomend ?

they are now obssed with cores i mean if you have a dual core HT you have quad core vertually wont be that difficult to make thats why its comin in 2007 i think

Anyone from hong kong on the 10Mbps or 100Mbps or even 1Gbps links would be cool to see some speed tests post here please

basically what they say in this site http://www.incentre.net/incentre/frame/ethernet.html from the pc to the hub you use this one T-568A Straight-Through Ethernet Cable T-568B Straight-Through Ethernet Cable to connect two pc with no equipment in between u need a cross over this one and in this picture u can see the difference in the cables is this enough information or u still confused what to get ?

hi there BT i assume u have broadband with british telecom i dont know there is two ways to make a network you connect all the PC to a router or a switch or you can connect one pc directly into another via one cable attention the cable to connect TWO pc together is different then the cable to connect to the router or switch do u want to know more about this ?

deoxyna is it the only isp available there ?

Supreme1 what is ur connection it is my believe that u got 400kb/s when u resumed a torrent which u were downloading so for example u click on pause when a torrent is downloading then wait for like 2 or 3 min then when u click back resume the sort of time after u clicked pause it actually went ahead and finished a few files it was downloading so when u click resume again it shows a massive speed but it is actually not true hence it only lasts like 1min or so

i would like to know more about this if you only have one ip how do u tell the HTTP request which folder to use to send the code from? does it use diff name dns name with different ports ?

no that is not bad at all thanks for making me jealous LOL

who is the company that has the biggest selection of MP3 out of napster, itunes, and all the other ones out there who has more mp3 ?

widowmaker hi nice to see some one from the uk yeah that test was not acurate maybe u used the back button or something was cached in ur system have u tried the test more then once?

i dont know its like donating bandwidth basically as long as it is secure i wouldnt mind donating once in a while but to be honest i dont think the idea is going to take off

does any one know if they use RFID technology ?

cool does any one have wimax services ? or receives internet via wireless ?
