fr0stbound Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 is that black box you're talking about the one in the first pic? (that's my bed sheet on the background, its a little dirty already) hey, just remembered, did anyone else asked their installers for this thing?

coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 with me is the white box not that black box is that a radio or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 i don't know what it is called, but what it does is ground your connection so your computer doesn't get fried when the canopy is struck by lightning. here's what it looks like without the cover and set up. the black wire comes from the canopy, the white/gray one connects to the pc, and the yellow/green wire at the middle goes to the grounding material(concrete, metal attached to the ground. the installers said it doesn't come with the package, but they have it so i think it is a by-request thing. or maybe they just got annoyed with me so they let me have it.

coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 ok. can you show us screenshots of your Canopy's AP evaluation and the main panel? we can assess your setting from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapuamj Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 ow how ca i make a screen shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 @mapuamj - press print screen( Prn Scr), open paint, press ctrl+v then save as a jpeg. don't forget to erase things like your ip, that will compromise your security. @coolbuster - i can't open the black one. but all it does is connect two cables, in case the default one is too short to reach the PC. you didn't have to ask for the white box, they just gave it to you?

coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 ow how ca i make a screen shot? here's how: PC 1) when you already have the canopy panel displayed (maximized) on your desktop, press Print Screen SysRq button of your keyboard. 2) go to start menu/all programs/accessories/paint/edit/paste 3) adjust the size then save as a .jpeg file. test.my.net 1) click Reply (NOT Quick Reply) /additional options/attach/browse/ok 2) add your message then post.

fr0stbound Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 yes, except the white also has the ability to ground your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 yes. because you don't have to re-ground. you did it already with the white junction box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 so, are you using that white junction box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 yes. coz we have utilized the whole 20 meter black Meridian cable but did not reach my pc and we needed an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 you don't have to. just the browser. but if you'd like then go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbuster2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 (off-topic) wow. firefox 2 is amusing. im beginning to love it. did some tweaking & my browsing skyrocketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapuamj Posted August 17, 2007 CID Share Posted August 17, 2007 another thing on firefox 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries: 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves. try this and you can see the difference ...........
