well finally got the router on the weekend. It was easy enough to set up.

I do like the ability of limiting bandwidth per port. That way my kids can't suck all the bandwidth. hehe.

Anyway I have been very busy at work,, whats new, lol.

So really haven't played with all the bells,,, but I have a ...

BlackSword

I just couldn't take the suspense,, so I ordered one. Once I have it will try and write a review on it.

Looks awesome,, the features in the manual are unbelievable.

BlackSword

Has anyone picked one of these routers up yet? They look impressive and I am tempted to get one.

Sure would be nice to here some comments first. Thanks for any replies.

Here is their site with their lower end VPN 600 router Check it out!

BlackSword

The router should fix you up.... btw, xdsl as far as I know only categorizes the different ones available meaning adsl, sdsl, hdsl, and vdsl.

Name the time and place.

YeOld is correct. Just wanted to make sure everyone was clear on that

BlackSword

Simply put all three are important. Fast RIG, Solid ISP, and Fast VideoCard.

Additionally Games are getting vary RAM hungry,, your RIG should have at least 256meg of Ram if not more.

Now obviously the game your playing dictates the Processor and Video card required,,,, in most first person shooter ...

YeOld,

I installed your posted version of Jet Admin and it allowed me to install the printer. SO THATS GREAT THANKS!

I still can't add or change any TCP/IP ports VIA Properties on the printer,,, but since I can print I really am not to worried about it.

Thanks for the link.

BlackSword

Thanks for the reply,,

I am currently using Web JetAdmin Software 6.5 but may try your link anyway.

As far as the spooler it is running. I stopped and restarted it yesterday when doing the change as per the Windows site.

For now I installed the printer on a SCADA node I have running 24/7 in ...

Error loading the Tcp Mib library

While trying to add a Local TCP printer I get the above message. As per Microsoft they say it is because of THIS ,, I have tried that and it does not solve the problem.......

I also un-installed TCPIP and then reinstalled it to see it that would help,, but it ...

Well it looks pretty cool,,, I went thru boot camp easily,,, then went on line and the first server I joined,, lol,, there was a cheater,,, you couldn't kill him if you shot him a million times,,, O, well I will try a couple other servers tomorrow.

BlackSword

Just had a co-worker tell me about American Army.... He says it is great,, it is free also. I will try it out but was wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Here is the Web page

BlackSword

I have seen a few cheaters on other servers, but since our clan has our own server now there really isn't any problem. We ban people more for slamming other players, or inappropriate language.

If I do think someone is cheating then I just kill myself and go first person with them. So far on our ...

BlackSword

You will need a NIC in each computer plus a hub or switch. Windows has an ICS (internet connection sharing) it is built in; for his network that would work fine.

Now if you want to be able to Turn on the RIG remotely then you will need a PC and a NIC that support Remote wake-up. But if your just ...

BlackSword

Sounds like they must be running some kind of script. Did you check out Counter-Script ?

BlackSword

Sorry but I have to ask the simple questions first.

In Controls =>>> did you Bind a Key to "use Voice Communication"

In Customize=>>> did you select "Enable voice in this Mod" ?and "Use microphone for voice input" ?

1. XP boots up twice as fast
2. XP seems to run more stable with 128meg or less memory
3. With 256meg on either there really seems to be no difference.

If your going to use XP,, turn off all the garbage and it looks just like 2k.

Obviously One day 2k won't be supported. Obviously XP one day won't ...

I have never been able to figure out networking, but have you checked to be sure your router is forwarding the ports that you need ? I believe CS is 27015 or some of those right in that region. CS doesn't require any ports to be forwarded to play.

Well,, probably 4 months ago my daughters RIG was doing all kinds of strange things.... problem "Kazaa" and probably half the other spyware etc. that ended up on her machine.... My resolution for her was Reformat, re-install OS, and not re-install Kazaa.

Now she has no problems :)

BlackSword

The problem with many residential DSL accounts is the limited upload bandwidth,,, typically 120kbps... therefore all you would need is one person to be uploading a file and BAM your Download speed of 1500kbps is cut to 120kbps.

Possibly if you could get a good Ultra speed DSL 3000/800 then ...

Sorry but I miss your point. Nexland currently limits the MTU in their router for pppoe to 1472.

Therefore if he sets his above that all the packets will have to be fragmented.

Anyway the Max MTU is 1472 and I'm glad they set it at 1472 to start. And yes your PCs MTUs should match that, each one of them.

correct

sharing with your neighbors?,,,, well do they have their router configured to block any ports?

BlackSword

As far as I am concerned a NIC is definetly the way to go.... I wouldn't want any part of USB connectivity.

50US is a fairly high price but since that included installation then I would say it was a good deal.
