Thanks for the comments guys, they make sense :) I think that my prayers have been answered: Giada A51 AMD Fusion-Based Mini PC It seems to be around $399 and it's designed for what I need. I guess I can't go better and cheaper than that. Seems to be out of stock a the moment though.

I know; these netbooks have very weak processors. Even the dm1z's is equivalent to somewhere between a celeron and an athlon @~1300Mhz. I don't just want a netbook with HDMI, I want to discover which is the cheapest that can handle 1080p video. Of course, if such a thing even exists, since I...

Hey there folks, Could netbooks with hdmi be a viable (and portable) smart tv replacement? Because the best way to have a smart tv is to have a computer instead. (already have an hdmi tv, and so do most places I visit) I've been out of the netbook game for almost 2 years now. Does anyone know...

True. I'm also starting to think weather or not I actually need a Smartphone. It's not like I'm going to synchronize my emails and calendar from Outlook/Thunderbird and do business on it.. The main reason I wanted a smartphone was that I liked the degree of customization you can bring to it and...

Oh, dude, that phone would be nice(though expensive), except I really really hate the nokia interface in it! My dad has a Nokia 6730 from work and boy is it annoying. It takes an hour to figure out how to set the light timeout or to use the "gps". That 6730 also has a flashing mail icon on the...

Thanks for your replies guys, Hmm $2.5mil, let me just check my.. nope. Maybe by the end of the month. :D Hah, Luddite, fair point. Still, what I need is a phone you can use with one hand and which has something called a "tactile response display". Otherwise known as BUTTONS.. I've looked...

Hello, Are there any? It's time for me to change my phone. I haven't really looked into the phone market too carefully over the past 2 years, so I need help in picking a genuinely useful one. First, I'd like you to read through this...

You're right. And I checked the router log (Status->Log) (today, aug 20th), and I had 28 entries, all of them from Aug 20th:confused: Help said that the router remembers up to 200 log entries... One thing though, yesterday, I set a static IP and did some port forwarding on my Router. But adding...

The only times that I've "waited" was when I came back to my pc and checked utorrent. One time, I started some downloads, went to bed and when I woke up in the morning, the internet connection was "gateway not available" and the downloads were at 0-10%. (they should have finished in less than...

The Troubleshooter says that it has detected that the Gateway is not available And that it Fixed it. So if it is a coincidence, then Windows is lying to me and taking credit for nothing :D it is 192.168.0.1 I will check the logs the next time this happens. Right now, since I've bothered to...

Hey thanks mate, that kinda solves my problem; and explains a lot. I've only got my desktop and 2 laptops who log on occasionally. So I set my DHCP lease to 1hr.

No, I'm not using PPPoE. I had looked on the stupid Romanian site but they didn't list any firmware upgrades. But after I read your post I went to Easten Europe which pointed me out to ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/di_broadband_gateways/di-524/ which did have the 2.04 :D It seems that a few years back...

all I could find is: "H/W: B4 F/W: 2.04" I'll download their latest firmware.

When this problem occurs, Windos 7's new Network and Sharing Center shows the LAN connection being fine (I've also verified that by pinging my laptop) but the connection to the Internet being broken. Then, since there is no refresh connection option, I hit Troubleshoot Problems which fixes the...

I just ipconfig /all'd and double checked: IP: 192.168.0.199 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DHCP Server: 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers: 95.77.94.88 192.168.0.1 Everything is configured properly and I'm pretty sure that it isn't a setup issue. Again, when my ISP gateway changes, the...
