apparently there's no pop-up window on the directv receiver if you connect the wet610n directly to it, like there is for the wga600n... i tried connecting it directly to the receiver and no dice... but i finally got it working... after reconnecting it several times to the d-link router, i...

bestbuy was out of the wga600n, so i picked up the wet610n for the same price... but i can't get it set up, there seems to be a conflict between the setup cd and vista 64, which i later confirmed... however, manual set up is also a no-go, i can't access the wet610n through a browser page...

i share an internet connection with my tenant (roadrunner/twc), so i have to keep the d-link router in the basement so she can access it (it's the only "common" area in the house)... i want to hook my directv receiver up to the internet for on-demand content, and i REALLY don't want to run a...

also great advice...i didn't know to do this either...i played around with the channels a bit, picking ones that are different from the neighbors ( i can usually pick up anywhere from 3 to 6 wifi networks that the neighbors have set up)...i'll work more on this tomorrow, there were some slight...

i didn't know this, thanks a MILLION...they were pointing vertically, and i moved them to a horizontal position, and the signal strength and transfer rate went up... great advice...for the third floor, i might pick up one of those directional antennas, even though the signal has improved a...

thanks for the replies, i really appreciate them... as for speeds greater than 10mbps, in my neighborhood the only real "high-speed" choices are verizon dsl or Time Warner cable (roadrunner)...i have time warner, and speeds above, or anywhere NEAR 10mbps are just not a reality (even though...

that's interesting, i'll give changing the channel a try... it's a 100 year old house with hardwood floors and balloon construction, the thing is built like a fort, so that may be it too...that's interesting as well, because a friend of mine owns a much newer house with thinner walls, with...

sorry for the lack of spacing between the words in the list above...it didn't hold the formatting when i posted it...i apologize...

i have a d-link DIR-825 router, it's set up in the basement, because i share a Time Warner cable internet connection (HORRIBLE COMPANY) with my tenant, and the basement (where her washing machine is) is the only "common area" of the house where she can access the modem and router to reset them...

where can you get a refurb 3007 for $750? is that a "coupon" type of deal, or is that calling dell up and negotiating with a sales rep? the outlet lists those for around 1k at least (with at least a 3 yr warranty)... i wasn't aware one could be had for $750...any info is appreciated, thanks!

yes, i own a wii and a ps3...but that appears in the list even when the wii is turned off...

sorry for the "crowded" formatting on the above list, i know it's hard to read...didn't mean to post it that way....

i just replaced an old belkin g router with a d-link dir-825 extreme n dual-band router...i managed to get the desktop connected to the internet using a d-link dwa-552 pci adapter (after updating using the atheros version driver, the included software manager/driver on the cd was a...

i've been a customer for a while, and until recently, service calls that required a tech showing up at the house were pretty painless...maybe it's cutbacks or what have you, but the past 3 or 4 service calls over the last couple of years have been awful...The problem, whether it be no service or...

thanks man, you'll be getting a big chunk of that 5 dollar monthly savings as well!

yes, thanks, it does help...i appreciate it... now i have to dream up new and exciting ways to spend the $5 i'm going to save each month... but i should probably just split it with you...no router necessary:D

I probably should know this, but let me run it by you guys...Initially, I had 2 wired computers hooked up through a basic switch for sharing...The ISP is Timer Warner/Roadrunner in NYC, the service is broadband cable...I pay $5 a month for an additional IP address... Now I have only 1 wired...

there was a review stating that the combination of the via cpu and vista made even basic web surfing and basic programs sluggish...the eee pc supposedly outperformed it... i really like the design of this thing, and i certainly have a use for it, but if i do take the plunge before hp adds some...

i just hope there indeed will be better processor choices in the near future...atom may have come too late to be included, but i'm still not too happy with the current processor choices... the isiah sounds good, and as soon as something along these lines is put into these bad boys, i'll...

i opened the case and shut the system down, stuck my ear in there, and found that the sound was actually coming from one of the hard drives (seagate 320mb SATA, 7200.10)... this is a new build, and this was my main drive for a few weeks until I added a 150gb Raptor, and made that the "new"...

i also read that the "beep" could be due to the video card, that the PSU is shutting down a split second before the vid card gets the signal to shut down, and the "beep" is a momentary warning about not enough power... does this sound reasonable to you guys? and is this a mobo issue or a vid...

the question involves the system in my sig...

I hesitate to call this a problem, but when I shut down, there is now a quick, sort of half-beep right before the power completely shuts off...the board starts up properly and i get the correct beep code... i read that this might be an attempted mobo alert that occurs because a fan slows down...

sorry for being a bit long-winded in the post above...i could have summarized my question better... anyway, this is what i did, and maybe it will help someone with a similar question...I downloaded and ran the Seagate/Acronis Disk Wizard...chose "clone" option, and it was pretty...

I've been reading a bit, but I'm still confused about how to make the new HD I just installed the main/system/C drive, and make the "old" drive into a storage drive...using Vista Ultimate 64... the current C: drive is a Seagate 320mb (shows up as 289.9 gb, Disk 0 in "disk management")...in...

i'm currently considering the 3007wfp-hc or the apple 30'' lcd (i have a credit of $600 at apple that would bring the price to about the same as a dell)... despite reading reviews already, i'm curious to see what your reaction is... i know the 3008 is out, but it's still too much $ IMO...

i hadn't planned on upgrading my monitor so soon after a new build, but I've basically been handed a $600 discount at Apple (store credit...long, boring story)... Which brings the apple 30'' cd down to about the price of a dell 3007wfp-hc...if i should decide to pull the trigger on a display...

the 2 BB stores in Manhattan (NY) don't show any stock...the Queens, NY stores aren't showing stock either, and good luck calling up and getting a straight answer...i swear whomever answers the phones at these stores must like screwing around with people, it can't be that hard to check what's in...

yeah, i disabled the enforced driver signing thing, but CoreTemp still just "hangs" when i try to run it... i read that some people are using Everest Ultimate Edition, so I downloaded the trial, and these are the numbers it is giving me: Motherboard: 33c CPU:19c CPU Core#1: 38c CPU...

neither SpeedFan beta nor CoreTemp will install/run for me with Vista 64, the previous version of speedfan does run, but that's what i used to get the temps already cited... is it just me or is anyone else having this issue?

I have an e8400, which I obviously want to OC eventually, but I'm a noob to overclocking, and I want to make sure I understand what I'm looking at before I do anything... currently have a Gigabyte DS3R, E8400 w/ ZEROtherm Nirvana (used artic silver)- fan set to highest speed on included...

damn that was quick guys! thanks... before i even edited my sig you guys were on it! My cousin used to be a priest, and if he still has some pull I'll get him to bless you...or something...

On a new EVGA 8800 GT 512mb card, I'm using HWMonitor to check GPU temp... it's idling at 47c, is that ok? and is using HWMonitor the best way to monitor system temps? is there a way to control the fan speed on this card, and to find out what it currently is? thanks guys...

update: thanks BillParrish, it does indeed seem that the PC Speaker itself was the issue, but the bigger issue is that I was rushing to get the thing done and my brain was just fried... initially i could not find the PC Speaker that was supplied with the mobo, so I pulled the speaker from my...

I just finished a new build (btw, thanks to all of you for helping me select parts)...maybe someone could help me out with this issue... I got everything up and running ( using the DS3R mobo, 4 gigs Corsair XMS2 ddr2 800 memory, put in the HD and vid card and DVD burner ) and I WAS getting...

in case anyone is interested, Micro Center B&Ms in Garden City, New York and Paterson, NJ still have E8400s in stock for $189.99, as of Friday, Feb.8th, 2008... i referenced that processor above and thought I'd mention this... Markyip1, the NJ store is certainly better than the LI store...

wow...thanks so much for the info guys...i honestly, sincerely appreciate it... i sort of fell into building systems (on the side) by accident, and i obviously have a lot to learn...i only do it occasionally and have found myself in need of a crash course or two.. the info on the CPU/RAM...

I have 10 days to complete this build, so I need to order the hardware soon- it's for a guy who will not be going with SLI, but does want 45nm support for the future...and also insists on an X38 chipset (he's not much of a geek, but he was told by someone, somewhere not to go P35 and I'm not...

while i'm not building 2 absolute top-quality machines, i do want to build two decent computers...i won't be recycling much of anything on these builds..and i want to put decent mobos, processors and at least 2gb of RAM in each...so future upgrades on GPUs and other things are relatively...
