I'm sorry if this has been posted, but I've scoured Google and haven't found an answer to this question yet. Is the Windows 8 Upgrade download 32-Bit AND 64-Bit on the same disc, or does it detect what you're running on your current OS and automatically download the appropriate version? I ask...

I've been testing the internet via browser with no luck, but also via ipconfig /all, and nothing shows up but my network adapter in thr laptop I'm using to configure the client bridge. I also set the static ip of the computer I'm using to set this up back to obtain automatically. I didn't...

I've been assigning a manual ip to the computer I've been using to configure it all. I've even tried different manual ip's to see if I was screwing something up and there's a conflict, but it hasn't changed the outcome one bit. Here's my setup: Primary router - 192.168.1.1 running WEP...

I've set the ip address of my client bridge to 192.168.1.6, and I've tried other ip's as well with no luck. When I use ipconfig /all it shows up with whatever ip I give it. The ip of the primary router never shows up, so I must not be connected despite what DD-WRT tells me under status>wireless...

Looking at some other threads on the issue, I've tried to ping the primary router when the DD-WRT router says I'm connected and it's not working. I want to say it's DHCP or DNS but I never had to mess with those settings before, so I'm still stumped.

Alright, I'm just about ready to kill myself because I've been working on this for HOURS and can't figure out why my DD-WRT router won't work in client bridge mode. I had it working previously but flashed the firmware to a newer version (I've since flashed back and it hasn't helped), and I can't...

Didn't realize people were still looking at this thread. I know to avoid using a proxy for ordering anything, but the order was VERY important, so accessing this site was very important, and if I absolutely had to I was going to have to risk it. Luckily when I Googled the site and followed...

Not trying to bypass any security at school or work, for some reason the website will NOT display in a normal browser for me at home. It redirects me to a different part of the site that doesn't work, and it does this in Firefox and IE. It's very frustrating. When I pull the site up in proxy...

Not sure I'm putting this in the right place, but looking around I think I am. Anyway, does anyone know of a good proxy server I would be able to use that is fully functional? I'm trying to place an order online, and whenever I use a proxy they're so restricted I can't get past the order page...

Something weird has happened: on my E1505 with an X1400 vid card, the screen now blinks once before I play any video in Windows Media Player. It never did this before with the Omega Drivers installed (which I have installed again now), so I blamed Windows Media Player 11 and formatted. After the...

Truthfully, as much as I love the XBox 360, I would take it back and get the money and run. I've never, in all my life, had a single issue with a console until the 360. I take care of my stuff like no other and I went through two of them before I just took the money back and said screw it. I...

Alright guys, I need some help here. My buddy bought a new Dell E520 and when we try to format using a windows 98 disk it doesn't detect the CD Rom drive. The computer boots to the DOS prompt after giving us the error that no CD Rom drive is detected (and yes, the drive works fine)...

Have a problem: Whenever I boot up my computer with my DVD burner and normal DVD drive attached, the lights on both of my DVD drives come on and won't go off, and windows hangs on boot while they spin. I tried just the DVD burner alone with same result, the light comes on on the drive and...

Exchange it or get your money back, I just had the exact same thing happen to me a few days ago and I just took the money back. I'm going to wait for the revision, a lot of people who had launch systems I know have had them go kaput lately out of the blue with no problems prior, so when mine...

On my comuter I can't seem to get my modem to show up in my netwrok connections, even though I'm using it to connect to the internet. Is there any way to get it to show up somehow? I'm trying to enable ICS on it and I can't until it shows up, but it only shows my ethernet card and 1394...

Ahhhh, I wasn't aware of that, I thought you could partition the C: drive with windows on it with no trouble. Any recommendations on a program to partition the drive when I format? I have a 120GB drive in this lappy and want to allocate 20 to OS and 100 to music, movies, etc.

I have the same question as the poster, but XP's disc management isn't allowing me to partition the C: drive for some reason. The option simply doesn't exist, and I've been through the help and Microsoft's tutorial online. Could I use a program from the UBCD 3.4 to partition the drive (which...

I have a weird problem with my laptop, although I don't consider it a major problem. If I have the battery AND AC power connected when I boot, sometimes the system will hang at a black screen before the XP loading screen with an underscore blinking in the upper left hand corner. It will just...

Good news: the computers somehow began fighting it out over IP's, and now they can indeed see one another (share files) on the network. I can also see the internet connection under network connections on the client, which says it's connected. HOWEVER, the client, despite saying it's connected...

Get this: I setup a home network between two computers in my apartment, sharing the connection on one ad-hoc with another, which worked fine. However, the next day when I booted the computers up, NO NETWORK! I ran the XP wizard about ten more times, played with settings, etc., but no dice, I...

Alright, I've tried EVERYTHING to get WEP to work on my WRT54G router to no avail. I set a 64-bit phrase, get the four provided keys, put them into the computers in the house through windows wireless network connect settings, but only the first computer will ever work. The rest won't transmit...

Are laptop drives normally as reliable as their desktops counterparts?

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on getting my first laptop after having only desktops for years. My current desktop is a celeron 733, so it's time for a new computer, and I've decided to go mobile this time (I don't game, so no need for the horsepower). The only thing that's holding me...

I also played a kiosk the other day and I have to agree that the graphics just aren't that great in comparison to the last generation (and it was setup correctly). Yes, we all know they will improve with time, yadda yadda yadda, but when you're paying $400 plus the cost of games (which is said...

I just finished playing the game for a couple hours at my cousin's, he just got a PSP for his birthday (I don't own one). I never really wanted a PSP until I played and watched some of a movie on his, and seeing GTA on it today has me wanting one badly. This thing really is a PS2 in the palm of...

Where did you find that 35% off coupon at? I was going to get a lappy through them, and I'm trying to get it as cheap as possible, so I was just curious as to where you would find such a thing. That's a hell of a deal. And I'd definitely go with the Dell over the Alienware, no questions asked.

Good news, it's WORKING. I reset the router to factory settings, and all of a sudden the wireless AP LED pops on and my adapter connected to it. Funny thing is, out of the box the wireless was off by default (as it was stated it was supposed to be), and no matter what I did I couldn't enable it...

I disabled what you said, and it hasn't changed anything. I think the goal here is to use the router as an AP for devices to connect to one another and share files, and in all my searching I'm not seeing how to do this with a router. I'll keep plugging away, though, if you figure anything out...

What do you think I should use for these values, considering this won't have net access? IP address IP subnet mask Gateway IP address DNS server MAC address

And herein lays my problem. The "enable wirless radio" box is grayed out and not an option to be checked, even though this router IS wireless obviously. I think it has to do with it not being connected to the internet. For instance, if I have it plugged in and I use dial-up my internet browser...

In the settings for the router there is no way in which to turn the AP on, and it is listed as off. The only way I see is to have an internet connection when setting up the router, and without an internet connection the setup wizard won't continue. I can access the router's settings, I just have...

Alright, I'm trying to setup a wireless network that has NO internet connection between two PC's, and eventually an Xbox 360, all to stream media and share files. The trouble is, I can't get the AP on the Netgear router I bought to light up and work, even when trying to change the settings in...

I think Sony will now sweep MS under the rug this time around. I'm sure Ken Kataragi (or however you spell his name, we all know who the mad bastard is) is licking his chops at the blunder that MS has made, and will surely deliver the knock-out blow come time for the Sony launch. Acually, if...

Turns out it's a problem with the design of the laptop. The heatsink fan gets clogged with dust and doesn't work very well, and the thing shuts down to save the CPU when it gets hot obviously. I guess lots of people are having this problem with this series of notebook. After I let it sit for an...

Alright, I need more help with the laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 that I'm trying to reinstall windows on, and it keeps shutting off automatically every so often during the install. It's a legit copy of windows, I've tried two different discs even thinking maybe one was to blame, but that...

Alright, I am new to the whole notebook thing, so excuse this if it's a little bit noob, but I got a computer in for repair yesterday and I can't get the battery to run the laptop. I HAVE to have it plugged in for it to work. The battery is seated correctly, and I ran the computer for hours and...

OK, I'm going with my parents tonight to get a new HDTV for upstairs. I know my way around TV's pretty well, so I'm not a noob or anything, but they decided on getting a Sony Projection LCD TV that's 50" or something in that area. I don't know much about the LCD projection TV's, but when I heard...

OK, we must have the connection setup correctly, because when we test it when setting up the PS2's broadband adapter it works. HOWEVER, even after forwarding all ports etc., I can't get past the DNAS authentication. Any help guys?

Another quick update: I was able to get XP to recognize a gateway finally, and by enabling the LAN 2 (which is basically my NIC card) I can now enable ICS on the wirless router. However, the PS2 still gets no connection. Getting frustrating.
