php Posted July 22, 2006 CID Share Posted July 22, 2006 Nope. And I'm not very impressed with that site... anyone using the internet should know they're reporting all that information to the web server. They imply that it's being shown because of a lack of patches or their antispyware software. And they reported my browser wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted July 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2006 I just found the site web surfing.I though the test was interesting.Thsite does want to promote their software .I don't know why it worked on mine unless it's because I have dial-up.I have AVG,AdAware,Spyware Blaster & Outpost firewall. you would think the firewall would have stopped it.

tommie gorman Posted July 23, 2006 CID Share Posted July 23, 2006 That is the same thing the other test I posted did. It also blacked out my screen, and moved my mouse around for me. http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-15241 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted July 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2006 tommie gorman ;The test you posted required a DL.This one just opens the CD drawer.if it can.You don't have to DL anything.The only other test I copied the super Cookie # & closed my browser then went back to the site & it was the same & that is what it was supposed to do.Still I don't like that it couldd get far enough into my PC to open the CD.

No it didn't open mine , but I didn't get any firewall notification either, has anyone tried this tool a-squared Free 1.6.5 http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/ they used to do a online scan free, but now do a free d/l version, Hi Cholla what O/S are you on ? because I have seen this trick done some years back on 9x puters , but not on NT, my clipbook was clear as my settings are screwed down tight and with no shares and auto updates, even then the firewall is set to ask , the other info is normal viewable things, so I gues if to come I to TMN from dsl Reports , some body would know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted July 24, 2006 CID Share Posted July 24, 2006 Shug7272 take a piece of 14 guage copper wire and insert it in the small hole in the front of the C.D. drawer. It realeases the drawer to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chilla ,my B/B Xp was OK but I will try it on dial up later, (off peak rate ) I will try it on dial up and ME when I can find the H/D with it on my firewall gave no indication either , but no draw opened , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted July 25, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 25, 2006 Howdy Roco ;thanks for all the trouble you're going to to test this.& That's plenty good speed for dial-up.Unless you used to be faster.The limit is really 53.3 max & you have to be close to your telco to get that.At one time I got some very fast results but they had to be wrong.Now if I get 47 like you tested I'm satisfied. ROM-DOS is the only one I've seen get consistently higher speed with dial-up. btw my distance from the telco is 26529 feet. I pushed it and my computer turned off... dumbass.

Hi Cholla , sorry for the delay, We had a power outage for a day yesterday and my laptop was uncharged , :I have just done the test on O/S Me , with dial up and broad band ,with and without A/V and firewall , I did get a I.E. pop up box " infomation if any " with a "OK" button , but NO CD draw opened , although I had the latest I.Explorer SP1 for 9x , maybe that a update would solve your problem ? I am 8202 ft from my local exchange on a 40 year old line, and it has ADSL on it, and was told to expect a reduction in speed due to that, so maybe 47Kbps is really good , I used to get 51.Kbps my line will only support 2Mbps ASDL anyway , so I am running 256 Kbps B/B, no I don't post in "how Fast are you topics" LOL but it suits my needs, as I ain't going anywere in a hurry Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted July 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi Roco;I have the latest IE 6 SP1 & Internet tools . IE v 6.0.2800.1106 Update Versions SP1 IE 7 is not supposed to work with 9X.So not sure what but it looks like the problem is in IE.Since you didn't get anything but a pop up box even without AV & firewall. On my phone line its 35 to 40 years old & in the air type.& woth the wind we get at times it's been whipped around a lot.But the phone company won't replace it unless it test below voice quality level.It tests ok according to them.I guess it might "accidently "snap sometime in a wind storm then the would have to replace it.All inside wiring is CAT 3 I know I did it myself. This runs all the way to the modem I made my own cable with module plugs from the wall jack as well. I don't think CAT 5 would be any better for a dial-up line. This is why I test 36Kbps or better consistently. Both the phone company & my ISP say the best I should expect at this distance is 28Kbps.So I always test faster than that .Dial up suits my needs as well but I would go with the low priced DSL if it was available.But even one that would install it said they couldn't guarentee beter than dial-up when I pressed them on this.They said I would probably get 64Kbps at this distance because of the DSL line.But no guarentee of that.So until they put in a remote terminal closer& there are no plans of that any time soon I will have dial-up.Satellite is the only other alternative.

Roco Posted July 27, 2006 CID Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi Cholla Yeah, I got a pop up box , titled Internet explorer, infomation if any , with a OK button , no further info as to what infomation this applied to , so i clicked OK still no draw opened , sorry I cant help any further, I also turned off AV and firewall , still the same result . but I can remember that test from about 4 years back , with the CD draw opening, I thought it spooky at the time , I was on 56k dial up for 3 years , and paying by the minute , till I found a program called Tick by really effective , it can be set to count costs ,as well as data sent and received , so it proved for me, a set price B/B was the cheaper option , our national telcom B.T.also only provides voice quality , my line got damaged , so I climbed the pole and repaired it just had a thought have you tried F.Fox , would be interesting to see if that did the same Roco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted July 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 27, 2006 Roco I had FF also at one time but when I reformatted I decided to use just IE. I found a way to stop thee cd drawer from opening by disabling Active Scripting in Security/Custom level the only problem is this disables JAVA scripting & THE TMN site doesn't look right with it that way.Maybe a little more looking & I will find another way. The work around for IE is this: Tools/Internet Options/Security/Internet/Custom Level/Scripting/Active scripting select disable. Then in the same area except Trusted sites you enable it. Of course this means any site not in trusted sites can't use Active scripting.Which if you web surf like most of us do this would be a pain.
