    Weird Internal IP address: 192.168.253.131

    Well lucky for you guys it broke again. And what's more is that it's affected one of my roommate's computers and my same laptop as well. The .253 is taking over the machines! going to 192.168.253.1 doesn't work either.

    Weird Internal IP address: 192.168.253.131

    I'm not sure what happened guys. I attempted to hit up 192.168.253.1 on mozilla and it didn't work...it just kinda stalled. I went back to ipconfig and lo and behold i was greeted with a 192.168.1.102 for the wired connection (i'd disabled the wireless card). Long story short? It works. Not...

    Weird Internal IP address: 192.168.253.131

    SockMan! The problem is that I cannot connect to neither the router utility nor the internet. I link the ip address to the problem because while the wireless says that it's connected to the SSID of my home network, the ip address it's getting, as well as the IP address of wired connection are...

    Weird Internal IP address: 192.168.253.131

    To answer your question, Ben Chi-- They are NOT strategically dispensed by the router. The router is set up to assign the ips in order of who has connected first. It's allowed to lease up to 50 ip addresses ranging from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149. the fact that ipconfig shows me addresses...

    Weird Internal IP address: 192.168.253.131

    I use a linksys router, WRT300N with my ancient laptop, an IBM Thinkpad, T23. It's got a wireless card and a built in NIC card that both read that they're connected, yet, for some reason, I can't connect with either the router utility (192.168.1.1) OR the WAN/Internet via web or any other...

    mx900/Di Novo Firefox issues

    not understanding you here. There are no button configs in the firefox software that i could discern that would affect this issue. Perhaps you could be more detailed? Drivers allow me to give the mouse buttons tasks and allow them to be controlled by 'application specific settings.; turning...

    Gmail's blocked here! how to get around that?

    The problem's solved-- they allocated an email account to me, on their imap. If someone had come through with the rule at the get-go, the antagonism wouldn't have had to ensue. Really, all someone had to do was post the link or say, dude, check the rules, no can do...rather than...

    Wow, I thought you'd be able to see the spirit of the issue. I'm not trolling, I just didn't appreciate being dismissed by someone new to the forum. Trolls tend to use curses and strong lang-- I'm just trying to see if there's a java web emulator within out there that would be hlpful to me is...

    Gmail's blocked here! how to get around that?

    I'm contracting...I'm consulting here. They group I'm working with is pissed that I can't get out to check my messages. It's not a management issue. It's a crap security issue. Like I said noob, help or save your keystrokes.

    that's beside the point. I can't get messages from prospective employers, gumming up my ability to aggrandize, you know, do the boot strap pull up thing. I need to communicate.

    Gmail's blocked here! how to get around that?

    OK, so I'm working in this place and I'm dying to check my email...but they locked out the site. I tried a host of other sites in which you can check you pop enabled accounts, but I'm figuring the firewall here's plocked out all the pop ports, so if it's trying to pull off any kind of access...

    Restoring OUtlook via *.PST

    i truncated the file to 1.99gb and still, nothing imports. It gives me that dumb message about 'welcme to outlook 2003.' I truncated, ran scanpst and attempted to import into the folder like MrGuvernment said. Still, all i get is that damned message. What kind of program can't import the...

    Restoring OUtlook via *.PST

    OK, so i tried it the MrGuvernment way where i import things into current folder and I got the same deal. It didn't do anything. I get half a moment of hourglass and get all excited about the big import and then the pointer comes back and nothing..... Now i'm looking for scanpst.exe online to...

    Restoring OUtlook via *.PST

    I tried opening the Outlook Data file and nothing happened. It showed the pane where the mail usially is but there was no mail in it. And as for corruption-- it's something like 6 years of email, that's why it's so big. I backed it up twice--i have a feeling both copies couldnt be corrupted...

    Restoring OUtlook via *.PST

    Thannks-- my problem is that I tried that and nothing. There's 2.01gb of PST file that has countless messages in it and Outlook's not adding them to the personal folders column. I go through the motions and then, i click OK and everything is as it was when outlok was new-- i don't see any of my...

    No post, no boot, no fan whr, no Nothing!

    OK, I have to go out and get a volt meter. But i've tested my zalman psu on another machine and it works fine. are you suggesting that on this board and this board alone that PSU is rendered inneffective? If that's not a non-proprietary parts thing, what is it?

    No post, no boot, no fan whr, no Nothing!

    interesting hypothesis. do you think that protection extends to the chip? It must if it's not working either. that means that the intel board won't whhhr up without a chip though. How does that sound to you? Or is it that the intel board really IS DOA?

    To GeForceX and TheMostWantedPolishTwin, I have tried to boot the thing with nothing-- not even the CPU-- to no avail. What bothers me about the DOA scenario is that the emachines computer was working and suddenly the 'short' problem began to happen. Since the problem is identical on both...
