    Dropping TTL 0 and 1

    A couple curiosities: I've seen a few home/sb routers whose firewall will drop a TTL of not only 0, but 1 as well. Any thoughts on why this is? Does it make sense to drop even a TTL 0 at the home router level? The packet has already gone through the internets and is now on the cusp of your...

    Ethernet Frame 'MAC Destination/Source' to Hexadecimal

    I had never used a packet analyzer before. However, it proved very helpful. Thank you for your suggestion.

    Ethernet Frame 'MAC Destination/Source' to Hexadecimal

    I'm needing to compare what is actually transmitted in the MAC destination or MAC source octets/bytes of an Ethernet frame, against an expected value expressed in hexadecimal. The need for hexadecimal is part of a syntax I must use. My question is to the correctness of the following method...

    Motherboard or Power Supply Failure?

    ...and we have a winner. It was the PSU. These things seem to fail more often than any other component. Rant, rant, rant. Anywho, thanks for the help. :)

    Motherboard or Power Supply Failure?

    Ordered a Corsair HX750. 7 year warranty and 80 PLUS Gold. Fingers crossed. If that's not it, I just might fix the whole thing with a hammer.

    Motherboard or Power Supply Failure?

    Motherboard or Power Supply Failure?

    I take it you dislike OCZ PSUs. Unfortunately I do not have another PSU to test with. The CPU connector is correctly inserted. Thanks.

    Motherboard or Power Supply Failure?

    Last night my computer started powering off on its own. I ended up pulling everything from the case. I reseated the CPU/heatsink. Removed all but one DIMM of RAM in slot 1. I ended up reinserting the graphics card(there is no onboard video, I wanted to see if POST would complete). The power...

    NEC 20WMGX2 Problems

    Anyone have experience with NEC when it comes to warranties? The bottom right corner of my 20WMGX2 has a dozen or more gray pixels of varying brightnesses —so many in fact that at first I thought my monitor must have got dirty. I even thought maybe dust had got behind the panel, however all the...
