After researching, and realizing I'm a fool ... I've realized that my cable company doesn't record MAC addy's ... they just configure the cable modem to allow the first connected MAC only.

Simply power-off the cable modem, flipflop the CAT5 cables (with the PC off), power back on the cable modem ...

Alien

My cable service only allows 1 MAC to connect. With my router, I can clone MAC addresses.

Well, tomorrow I'll be taking my router elsewhere to help serve a LAN party. The computer I'll be leaving at home is NOT the registered MAC - my laptop that I'm taking with me is.

The computer that I'm ...

Alien

If for some reason my router were to lose the existing MAC address that I'm cloning (the router doesn't have user-inputtable MAC addresses to clone, it only lets you select from previously connected machine's MACs) and I've upgraded my NIC, I'd have to change the MAC on the upgraded NIC for my ...

Alien

Well DLink said I can't change the MAC of the router - do you all know of any way to change the MAC of a 3com NIC?

Thanks!

Alien

I apologize in advance if this should have been posted in the General Cable/DSL Forum.

My ISP is not allowing my router to connect for some reason. They have never been told that I have a router, yet I can't pull an IP. After researching, I can "clone" the MAC of my PC, and then it will pull an IP ...

Alien

It gets quite frustrating. The only way to fix mine is by power cycling the router (I can't even go to 192.168.1.1 to reconfigure the router). I think I'm using firmware 1.38 (I'd have to look when I get home). It's only recently started to happen too.

Suggestions, input, or feedback anybody?

Alien

I have a similar issue. My BEFSR11 Linky will just suddenly stop. The only way to fix it is to power cycle the router. The cable modem is working fine though. I believe my firmware is 1.38 (I'll have to check again after I get home). I hope it's just a firmware issue - if not I'll have to just get a ...

I suppose I'm just expecting Linux customability out of a Microsoft product... :/ heheheh

Alien

Does anybody know how to change the look and feel of the ugly, clashing green/blue colors of the start menu? Can you change it to an image like you can with KDE for example?

Also, how can you implement themes? Is the "Olive" and the standard "Windows XP" themes they have listed the only themes you ...

Alien

I was wondering if anybody here was familiar with a router that supported the following:

RJ-45 & RJ-11: Support for both broadband, and dial-up ISP routing. Possible auto-sense too -- meaning that if it's unable to sense a broadband connection, it will auto-dial into the backup dial-up ISP once ...

Alien

You were both close, but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

I have the task bar on auto-hide... as you know, when you're done w/ the task bar it will crawl down and hide ... but when my friend IMs me, it causes the IM button on the taskbar to flash - when it flashes the task bar re-appears as if ...

Alien

While using AIM on WindowsXP, a friend will IM me. When I get the new IM, of course the taskbar shows that IM window as a seperate application, flashing a color notifying me that window's contents has had changed.

I'll send my friend a reply, and when they respond to my reply the taskbar button ...

Alien

I use IPX because there are some rather old games that I still play that use it as a protocol ... I'm slowly learning this gimpy networking setup WinXP has, and everybody's responses have helped a TON! Thanks to all of you, you've given me a push in the right direction.

Alien

After getting there, the NWLink IPX/SPX was listed, but I can't figure out where to change the bindings ... most of all, after checking to make sure my Workgroup and Computer ID were correct, I realized that I can't share files with my other computers (WinME based).

Any other suggestions?

Oh, and ...

Alien

I'll have to get home after work and try your suggestions .. I poked around in that area and don't remember seeing what you mentioned. I did try to add IPX/SPX as another protocol though, but it wasn't listed in there anywhere ... do you know what directory it would be under on the WinXP directory ...

Alien

I'm having a hard time figuring out how protocols, services, and adapters are binded under WinXP. I'm used to going under say Win98SE into the Control Panel's Networking Icon and configuring all my network bindings there.

This is how I had my Win98SE boxes set to in the past, and would like help ...

Alien

You also might consider installing netscape and see if you can get in that way. This will at least verify that your Linky works!

Alien

And, if that doesn't work - try changing the backslashes (\) to foward slashes (/) like any other URL.

Alien

Sorry for the vagueness of this reply, but I hope it'll help you at least get somewhere with search engines or something.

There was something called PopUp Destroyer, or PopUp Killer - something like that. I learned about it from http://www.techtv.com if I recall - so you might search their site.

Alien

What I do/did was quite simple.

Set up the computer WITHOUT the router. Bring up the command prompt and type PING MAIL.

It'll give you the mail server's IP address. Just use that instead of MAIL.

Hope this helps.

Alien

Prey, there's one born every minute .. hahahah

thanks for the help gents =)

Alien

Do what, turn your computer on remotly?

If it's not possible, why is there a connection for it on many motherboards, and the option provided on many high-end NICs?

Maybe I'm just confused on what it is/does. Could somebody clairify?

Alien

I have this with a 3com NIC of mine, but don't have a clue as to how to use it!

I'd like to be able to turn my computer on at home while I'm at work! Is this possible? Or how is it used?

Alien

Anybody at all?

Alien

Anybody? =)

Alien

No I don't have any firewalls up. All the security I really need was making sure that TCP/IP and the MS Networking Client/File Sharing weren't binded.

What else do you think it could be?

Alien

First Question:

Not too long ago, the computers I have stopped showing up on the network neighborhood.

Here's the setup on each computer:

Different computer names
o Same workgroup
o NetBEUI LAN
o TCP/IP WAN
o TCP/IP binded to everything BUT MSNetworking Client and Filesharing
o NetBEUI ...

Alien

A buddy of mine came over the other day to play RA2 with me. There is no option to connect via IP (like there is on AOE2, etc) directly, so we had to go through Westwood's cruddy room-server thingy.

When we were ready to start, the map wouldn't show on his side (I was hosting), and we couldn't ...

Alien

Is there such a thing as a coaxial surge protector (for cable modem)?

Alien

It's got to be windows (I have the same problems on one of my computers) - here's my specs:

Tasks:
3dfx Manager, Webshots, and Windows Speaker (for sound control). Video card: voodoo 3 3000.

It's assumingly a poor install of Windows. I think this problem (with Windows ME anyway) SHOULD be named ...

Alien

Well dag nabbit!! hahaha well thanks anyway .. =)

Alien

Anybody know what SOHO routers support this? I have the linky now, and it doesn't (yet ...) =(

Alien

I'm interested in blocking banner ads, using Windows, using wildcards.

Let's take doubleclick.net for example. Their ads server is ads.doubleclick.net. I'd like to just simply block ads.* or even *.doubleclick.net.

Is there a way to do this?

Alien

My upstream on my cable modem is about 40 K/sec. If I have 2 people dialing in using 5.5 K/sec of that (56k modem), then I have a spare 29 K/sec outgoing.

Sure, a T-1 minimum line might be useful for 100 simultanous users online, ALL sending things upstream and not downloading anything. However ...

Alien

Sorry G, I'm not edgumuckated on how to do it exactly. I hope you find somebody more knowledgeable than myself.

Perhaps somebody here would be more familiar and actually tell you how to do it, instead of telling you why you shouldn't.

Oh, and as mentioned before by others - don't SELL the access ...

Alien

Yes, it is possible.

I think the fastest way to get going to what you're wanting to do is to familiarize yourself with Linux or W2K. A buddy of mine uses remote access using W2K and the 1 modem that's in it.

We even use his computer to play Age of Empires on Monday nights. We have a buddy of ours ...

Alien

Brent, perhaps he's not educated in that area, and the best way he could describe it was by saying "ISP".

I've found that simply ANSWERING the question, instead of debating about what he meant is the best way to help people.

If he wants to clarify what he meant, then he as the guest here will. He ...

Alien

Nobody said he was reselling it ... he could be using it for his own, personal remote access (ie: connectivity to internet via laptop while at work, not bound to work's firewall, etc).

In theory, using W2K (not sure how to configure) you could use USB-based, external modems (appx $45 per modem ...

Alien

Maybe we could find somebody to provide useful information. That link only provided information that's probably commonly known - not HOW to do it.

For example, if you want to use W2K, how do you configure it? If you're going to use Linux, how do you configure IT?

This information would be more ...
