There is amplification. As to what it is or how much i'm not sure.

The signal is a peer to peer direct shoot...then gets distributed via a 10-Dbi Omni Antenna atop a 60 foot tower to which i'm approx 1000 feet from.

It was a long and tiring wait for this connection BUT it's finally working. I now have a wireless 802.11G connection spanning a distance of over 10 Km's point to point. I will be canceling my Hughes Net Satellite account. Below is a link to a speed test done @ www.speedtest.net to which I

Best video editing for the consumer:

http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/

download the trial.. I was hooked.. 

As far as burning I would go with Nero Ultra also.. Just easy for the beginner but also can do all the fancy advanced things..  Plus it has the Nero name..

System backup..  That it a good question.. There are many ways of doing this.. Personally I have western digital that run their free software, which I got through a class action suit  , and it automatically does the backups for me. 

    VER10.5 Software.? Pinnacle Studio  10.7 update now available?  gonna give it a try,.

As far as backup goes...  just type computer backup in google.  loads. of programs..some free some not!

Hey guys, I was wondering what the overall best video editing/converting software is out there? I have a Sony handycam but the software for it sucks and I can't figure out how to use it. I don't care if I have to pay a little bit of money for this software because if it's that good it's worth it. Also, what software do you use to backup your systems? How much does the system backup software cost? Thanks for the info.

I use Nero 7 Ultra

I guess it depends on what you would like to do,...?

Like   Movies(MPEG) to dvd works very well using Nero.

PS Nero also does HD Backup.

I actually didn't get the Xplornet system, I got the Netkaster system which is basically exactly the same.  Just looking for others with experience with this system.

Also try here:::::>>>>            http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wildblue             

It's still Telesat AnikF2. which is Wildblue/Xplornet.

What happened to those 2500Mbps downloads?....looks like the fat has beed trimmed from those BW hogs

I'm not going to go there!

This is interesting.

I was thinking of doing a operating system upgtrade from XP pro to Vista

I Can but there was a few issues

One being that Nero won't work

The other and Most Important is I would not have Internet.......LOL

I talked to Support  @ Hughes online this morning and here is a copy of the Transcript.                                                      [glow=red,2,300]See Attached.[/glow]

I will be forwarding this to my VAR  http://www.galaxybroadband.ca/

I ony whish I didn't Delete there E-Mail allready telling me that I would require a BUC change and a Dish allignment  check.!

I like the part where she says I can install this myself.

So.......anyone have a HN7000s  for sale?

take a closer lOOk./

Nice.!!

The biggest i've caught on the Grand  (near Belwood Lake Dam) was a 18" Brown

on what is called a Sanjuan Worm which is no more than a red pipe cleaner wrapped around the middle of the hook,

The Best part was my Daughter made it for me, she was 10 at the time.

I wish kids never grew up sometimes, she used to love fly fishing.

Anglers rest easy. Fish cannot feel pain, the largest study into piscine neurology has concluded.

An academic study comparing the nervous systems and responses of fish and mammals has found that fishes' brains are not sufficiently developed to allow them to sense pain or fear.

The study is the work of James D Rose, a professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wyoming, who has been working on questions of neurology for almost 30 years. He has examined data on the responses of animals to pain and stimulus from scores of studies collected over the past 15 years.

His report, published in the American journal Reviews of Fisheries Science, has concluded that awareness of pain depends on functions of specific regions of the cerebral cortex which fish do not possess.

Professor Rose, 60, said that previous studies which had indicated that fish can feel pain had confused nociception - responding to a threatening stimulus - with feeling pain.

"Pain is predicated on awareness," he said. "The key issue is the distinction between nociception and pain. A person who is anaesthetised in an operating theatre will still respond physically to an external stimulus, but he or she will not feel pain. Anyone who has seen a chicken with its head cut off will know that, while its body can respond to stimuli, it cannot be feeling pain."

IMHO does a fish feel pain?

  No.

However ripping a #8 hook through a fish's mouth is just plain rude!

I Flyfish and have for several years now using only barbless hooks which are very small in size...down to a 24-28.  1/8 of a inch in length.

X-NetStat Professional shows your current Internet and network connections in realtime. These connections are established each time you visit a web page, send an instant message, check your email, or anytime you do network activity that requires you to connect to another computer.  They also appear when outside computers attempt to connect to your machine, authorized or not.

Information shown includes local and remote addresses, local and remote ports, the status, the age of the connection, how much bandwidth/traffic the connection is using (when the Packet Sniffer is activated), and the program/process behind it. Its kind of like Internet radar, and you can even kill or block unwanted connections.

The Professional edition of X-NetStat offers a ton of additional features that are geared towards Network Administrators for their tasks of monitoring and managing networks.  X-NetStat Professional contains powerful features like a Rules system that lets you set up actions based on network conditions, a comprehensive Network Statistics window displaying information on network interfaces and protocols, a server that lets you access XNS information remotely, a collection of Lookup Tools (TraceRoute, WHOIS, Finger, DNS, Web Search, Server Version, NetBIOS Lookup, Online Tools, etc), a Port Database, Logging capabilities, transmission LED lights, a dockable ViewBar, and many more features.

The program should be especially useful for network administrators, traffic managers, power users, and those concerned about Internet/network security.  Check out the X-NetStat User's Manual (under the Help menu) for a tour of all of X-NetStat Professional's features. .   

Enjoy!

I do, and not to sound disrespectful, but what does it go to? Is that your territory?

PS ...like my flag Tommy.?

I keep getting connections from a few IP's, but i block them but they can still connect, they are connecting 100's of times too

does anybody have anything to try?

Try a program like X-netstat it shows all Ip's connecting to your machine @ any given time.. 

I personally use it to kill  OR BOOT nOObs while playing a game called Worms Armageddon While i'm hosting.

I recently had the opportunity to check out the service offered by Xplornet.

I was driving through a quaint little town only 20 km's from my residence when i spotted a black dish along with a few Satellite TV Dishes. It turned out to be VAR for Xplornet.

Well I just had to STOP!

I talked to the installer there and he let me take there system for a test drive.. and here's what i found.

The first thing I did was to look @ the OS /  it was tweaked allready,,,,,go figure.

Then ran some online speed tests both here and dslreports.

First off the level of service is 1 Meg....:/     KaZoom.

download speed would not reach 400 Kbps no matter how many test  where performed, and on what servers/

The upload speed was Great.....20 /30 kB/s solid.

I believe the modems name is surfbeam .?  blue in color.

So........I looked into the plan....after all said and done 800.00 Bucks was the Quote for hardware and install.

One thing I couldn't find a signal strength meter>  if there is such a thing with them?

Any how,,,  overall. I wasn't impressed with the overall picture... /  Declined!

On a more happy note.:::  Wireless is comming to my rural area YAY!!!!

I'll believe that when i see it too.  :/

Just my 2Cents worth.

Have a nice day!

Almost every computer user has different Internet connection conditions. Some users have very high-speed connections, while others have slow connections. Some users have high-speed connections using cable-based technologies, while others have high-speed connection through DSL-based technologies. On top of these differences, some are located farther away from their local network switching station than others and have a higher latency (delay) on their connections because of the distance the data has to travel. All of these different connection conditions make every user unique.

[glow=red,2,300]The TCP/IP protocol settings can be optimized for best speed under each of these situations. By default, Windows XP has these settings set in a "one size fits all" approach. [/glow] As I mentioned earlier, Windows has to be abstract in certain areas because of its broad user base. Because of this approach, many users can fine-tune their settings to be optimal for their connection conditions. Doing so will optimize the data transferred so your network connection will be more efficient, leading to high speeds.

With a little help from some fine online tools and software programs, you can test your Internet connection and decide what needs fine-tuning. The process of tweaking your Internet connection is not always easy, but it is doable.

Caution: Before going any further, you are strongly advised to create a system restore point, so that if things go wrong, which is not very likely, you will have a backup.

The next step in the tweaking process is to get all of the software that is needed. The main software program that you will use is called CableNut, which is developed by CableNut Software and is available for free at www.cablenut.com. CableNut is a great program that allows users to edit their Internet settings easily.

I run 2 gigs of ram. In my sig.  I can run up to 4 gigs.

If you can't beat them, choke them out.  Bastages.

my sig says 1G.

and it worked for me..

May I remind you this is an Opeating System Registry Tweak... nothing directly to do with the modem.

I just re-installed my O/s then installed TCP Optimizer As I always do then performed a few upload tests each showing 2kB/s...Wow I know!

Then Added this registry Tweak as below.......... And KAZZZZZAM! a blazing 4kB/s.

It is proven to double the upload speed as they say. It's real easy to do .

So give it a try [glow=red,2,300]" Yes You To Tommy Gorman"[/glow]  

Be sure to try the 18000 and 17a00 Values and if it dosn't work for you Simply Delete the Value>

Hi everyone. I am new here.

I just downloaded the new TCP optimizer.

I have Hughesnet  Hn7000s

I am wondering if anyone has the setting for the optimizer for this particulare modem.

I dont wanna change to many things until I have a reference to go by. Thanks in advance...

Go ahead and try it.........

You can always revert back to previous settings.

I was browsing the Hughesnet site today and came across their latest promotion- Seems now when you sign up for service it comes with the install and equipment for FREE! I paid 600 bux for this hunk of crap with flashing blue lights that has been nothing but a major source of frustration and dismay for 17 months. Being as I live in the boonies and work from home, I have to have it. Now they are giving away the junk, but want 50 bux and another 15 month commitment from its loyal customers to upgrade. This really chaps my hide, I can really use the increase in up load, but refuse to commit to their product for another 15 months.

Now everytime it just barely sprinkles out I lose internet connection all together - call customer support and they give me the same ole - well if its cloudy out you may lose connectivity. If its raining at the NOC you may lose connectivity... if the cows pass too much methane when they break wind, you may lose connectivity... what ever happened to ALWAYS ON!?!?!? So I am gonna have to pay somebody to come out here and re-point my dish, since I never get higher then 50 signal strength anymore even with no weather. Maybe it would be cheaper just to switch to wildblue...bah!!!!!!!!!!

Let the BUYER BEWARE!!!

Your connection is: 682 Kbps or 0.7 Mbps

I wish i had a scanner to show my invoice of a whopping $1,712.00 TOTAL

dated June 10 /04

My dish was installed on the roof as per my request and has not moved allthough I have gone up and tweaked it from a installed signal strength of 65 to solid 72. If the pole is embedded in the ground below the cement pour then it's grounded as well as you can ever get with any 4 ft ground rod. So simply drive the pole 6 to 8 Inches into the earth below the bottom of the hole. Keeping it perfectly Plumb!
