those netopia 3347's have the smallest wireless antenna I've ever seen, definitely get a dedicated AP with a aftermarket antenna solution and your parent's cabins will have have nice wireless solution in place.
i haven't seen a ethernet jack on a dsl modem yet (wan side that is) but it really doesn't matter in the end, if your modem has a rj11 jack than just plug the cable into that rj45 socket and itll all be good.
that's easy too deal with. just setup a rule in your firewall too only allow a specific dns server. if the pc has the wrong one than they can't browse the web at all.
Well I started a new job recently and I'm a subcontractor going around doing network equipment, cable and misc installations. I'm required to carry a laptop just in case I need to configure a router / switch or test if the equipment is functioning properly, ping test, tracert, speed tests...
implement what you read in your home setup. I used to have issues reading and retaining and it's basically a state of mind and once you get it down it's easy. I find that reading out loud really helps me.
I got my case yesterday and mouse today. I transferred my setup too the case and it's really a great case for 99 bucks! Definitely better than my previous Antec 900. I sold my Antec 900 for 40 and the CM mouse for 35 on craigslist today.
My professor asked me to burn some pictures to a CD and it turns out he wants them in a slide show type format that he can play on the DVD player. He wants a custom like title that is 3 lines. Does anyone have any advice on some good software pref free?
Long story short, I purchased a symantec 1620 to turn into a spare pfSense firewall and I need a PCI graphics card so I can begin the installation of pfSense. If anyone has one they are willing to part with for cheap or is willing to donate to my project, I would be very grateful.
I have...
QFT ~ My question to the ones who bash on Apple and say they are pulling one over on their customers, have you actually ever purchased a product from Apple??
I have nothing but good things to say about this model: PILA8460C3

Def go for some Intel PRO NICs, I used some cheapy 3 dollar NICs in my original pfSense box and man o man did I see a nice performance gain when I installed the Intel boys. I got 3xIntel PRO 10/100 NICs off eBay for like 30 bucks.
I was joking! This thread was full of serious business, so I decided to try and lighten the mood up. My bad guys I didn't read the last page before posting! doh!
:D;)
I still have not gotten a key on either of my b.net accounts.. I can't believe it as I've had my beta settings since day one and I've got both my system posted..
any kindness of a friend key would be greatly appreciated!
I hate when other family members influence the purchase of a computer for another family member such as a grandparent. They consider best buy the oasis for computer and the luring factor from the weekends ads has such a powerful hold on some people, especially aunts and uncles. I would have...
O please I have 2 dell vostro a90's (twin brother to the mini 9) and yah i'll admit it's pretty damn cool too run OS X on one of these little guys but I feel as if your only telling half the story. Purchase a mac and you don't have to deal with upgrades and the headaches that go along with...
if it's an OEM key, which it most likely is if it's a Dell, Gateway, etc.. than you will need a OEM XP Home disk and it will take the key / activate no problem.
My desktop is starting to get long in the tooth and I feel it's time for an upgrade. I would like to upgrade the Motherboard and CPU to something newer with a higher clock speed. I have Corsair XMS2 4GB (4x1GB of DDR2 800) & OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB of DDR3 1600) ram to work with. I do a little...
I would look into setting up a router using a free distribution and some old hardware. My suggestion would be pfSense or m0n0wall as I have exp with both and consider them to be very good. If your wanting to get your feet wet with cisco gear I would check out PacketTracer, GNS3 or purchase...
If your doing most of your computing @ home, I would say sell the MBP and go for the iMac. Also I read the other day Apple has re-enabled atom support in the latest 10.6.2.
