Well that solved it. Installed a PCI adapter and no problems at all. I'm guessing it was a power issue after all.

cplclegg

A PCI 802.11g card. The USB adapter started to freeze my computer after about 15 minutes, unplugged it and it now runs fine. So the problem is the USB adapter.

cplclegg

I decided to just get a PCI adapter. The price difference between the hub and the card wasn't more than a $1 or $2. Hopefully now I can reinstall my bluetooth and get that back working.

I moved everything off my second drive and removed it to have just the one master drive and the DVD burner, each a master on it's own IDE. Burned a DVD and I still lose the WiFi. I was looking at the root hub info and it says my adapter needs 500 mA to function. Is 500 mA a limit for all root hubs ...

Would crappy be a $30 Zyxel Zyair? :rotfl: I was in a pinch and had to get an adapter very quickly and that was the cheapest one I could find on short notice. Interesting thing too is that if I had the WiFi along with a Kensington bluetooth adapter my computer would freeze after 15 minutes so I ...

I think you might be on the right track with the Hub. The Shuttle came with 2 back and 2 front USB's but I also added on two more to bring that to 6. the two front I keep open for cameras and MP3 players but the back have the cable for my Treo, which sometimes won't sync, and two printers, one of ...

I have a NEC 16x DVD-RW in a Shuttle SK41g with 2 hard drives inside. I also have a USB 802.11b adapter.

The problem is that whenever I rip or write a DVD I lose my connection and can't establish a new connection with my router until the disk spins down. But when playing DVD movies or reading data ...

I moved the burner over to the secondary master and moved my buffer cache to the same partition is the files I burn. I'm back down to about 10 minutes which is what I was getting before. I am curious as to why a drive on the secondary would be faster than if it's on the primary.

As far as I can ...

I have a NEC 2500A. It's 8x and until recently it has taken about 8-12 minutes to write a DVD. Now it's taking almost 30 minutes. I do have the latest firmware installed. The only thing different is my second HD was starting to fail and that is where I had my files that I was burning stored. The old ...

All of a sudden my AIM will log off and I'll need to sign on. I think it's a power saving issue but I can't find where to disable it.

So is there a way do have Explorer like it was in 2000 or not?

cplclegg

Is there a way to enable in Windows Explorer in XP the image preview pane that was found in 2000? I really liked being able to view images without opening them and also movies and music.

cplclegg

Well, I'm back to square one again. I checked my status and it had my lease expriring every 24 hours from the router. So I am going to see if I disconnect the router and just use the XP firewall and see what happens. It has my IP good for a week like the router usually did. Must be some error ...

Looks like it was the QoS Packey Scheduler. Had it checked by default. Unchecked it, restrted and I've been fine now for awhile. I also noticed the Internet Connection thing under my network properties is gone too, not sure of it was rlated to the QoS thing. Anyone know what the purpose of that is?

cplclegg

I was refering to the power cable, sorry I was not more specific. I'm planning on upgrading to a wireless router in the near future, maybe that will solve my problem.

cplclegg

For the last couple days I have been losing contact with my router. It's th eold plain 1 port Linksys and the 1.44.2 firmware. This problem really has not started until I redid my system and installed XP Home as my OS. Anyone have problems with XP Home and a Linksys losing contact? If I unplug it ...

No beeps when I boot. I did take out my Diamond MX400 since it wasn't any better than the AC 97 in Win2k. I was having a problem even having the card getting identified. After I removed it I have rebooted fine. Next upgrade will definately be a video card to replace my Voodoo 3.

cplclegg

Within the past few days whenever I restart my computer it hangs up and will not reset or power down. I then try to switch off the power supply for a few minutes and then power back up but it will not boot. I don't even get as far as the Voodoo BIOS loading. Now if I take the side out the case and ...

Living in an aprtment requires splits. In fact I have one where it comes in to split to my living room TV and then the other cable goes into a hole in the wall to bedroom #1 which is then split again to go to bedroom #2 but even the line in bedroom #1 gets split to a tv so before my cable line ever ...

The problem seems to be you are usuing just a hub instead of a router. When you say you are suing two different IP's are these given to you by COmcast meaning you are paying for two seperate IP's? If that is the case then Comcast should be more cooperative in helping you. I would still recommend ...

My inlaws have a HPNA network I set up for them. Currently they are using a top of the line COmpaq qith XP home os the gateway and have a Windows 2K and 98SE PC upstairs. I got everything up and running but for some reason nthing will netowrk now and none of the computers can see each other. Does ...

Your web address is http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ "username" where "username is your name set up to get email and such.

To get on through FTP the ftp server is mywebpages.comcast.net, userid is your user name and your pass word is your email pass word. It's pretty easy. After loggin on you'll ...

This thing starts everytime I boot up Win 2K. What is this and what does it do?

cplclegg

Palm Desktop is good even of you don't have a handheld device.

cplclegg

Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Somehow this thing got installed on my computer at home and at work. What it does is when I do a search from Google's home page or from my Google search bar it opens a window column that displays paid advertisements from sites that are relevant to the search ...

Has anyone heard anything about Comcast maybe introducing a tiered pricing plan? I like the speed of cable but the always on feature is what I really like and if getting my speeds cut in half meant dropping from $50 to $25 I'd do it in a heart beat.

cplclegg

You could try "changeme", I think that was the default on mine.

cplclegg

Thanks. I also just found the Status page in the Linksys config menu. Stupid ole me missed it when I was looking through everything.

I live in South Jersey and need to know the Comcast DNS IP's to set up a DMZ in my Linksys router so I can have PCAnywhere running at home to link up to at work for file transfers. I have Win2K and I set the IP and all the other settings except I can't get a connection to any web sites without the ...

I uninstalled and updated to version 1.7.2 of Kazaa lite. Fixed it but deleted some partial downloads for no reason but I can always get them back.

cplclegg

I have Comcast cable modem service and live in South Jersey. For the last couple days I have been unable to connect to Kazaa. I have not yet tried reinstalling but I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem connecting and maybe Comcast is blocking access?

cplclegg

I get this error from time to time that WUAUBOOT.exe can't initialize and I have no idea what it does. It seems to only happen when I'm running Kazaa. I use Adaware and it doesn't find any spyware but Zone Alarm says it's trying to contact the internet. Anyone know what this thing does?

I sucked it up and bought PM7, great program and well worth the money.

Anyone know a good, FREE partition manager for Win2K? I was usuing Partition Resizer in 98 and ME but since I put 2K on it won't work because it's DOS based. I need to free up about 3 gigs to put Linux on but don't want to pay to do it.

Use Winamp, select the wave out plugin and make sure you don't have shuffle on. It will convert your MP3's to wav. But I don't see why you'd want to, the sound would still be same as the MP3 since you can't backward decompress and almost all cd burning programs now let you use MP3's as the source ...

I have been spamed to death this past weekend and all of them to my 4 different Comcast accounts but the recipiant was never my correct address, just a variation of it. So, has Comcast sold thier lists? Anyone get spamed?

Check to see that you have the latest drivers for your video card and monitor. For the longest time I could not get some Adobe prodcuts to work above a low resolution, I made sure my monitor had the proper driver and never had the problem since.

I'll sometimes set up a hotline server which I assume is legal (and I won't listen to you if you say it isn't!) but that's it. I had a big one running for about 5 months but my hard rrive crashed and I never got it running again.

cplclegg

I've used both and the HPNA I use is the 1 mbs and the wireless is 802.11b which goes 10 mbps I think. Anyways, if you do large file transfers between computers on the network go with 802.11b or get the 10 mbs HPNA. As far a surfing goes, how many sites constantly get a transfer rate of 1 mbs ...

cplclegg

With a Linksys router all you need to do is set up the DMZ and use the IP adress in there as the IP on the computer that runs the hotline server. That's it.
