Hey all, we have a Linksys BEFSR41 v2.0, and the current firmware is 1.44.2 (Dec 13 2002).

For some reason, when I try to update to the latest firmware, where I select the .bin file and hit update, nothing happens. No progress bars on the browser, or anything. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

We have had a dlink di-624 (rev. C) wireless router for about 2 years, and it has worked fine until now. It has recently just stopped working. I have been resetting it to get my connection back, but it stops about 10min later.

I figure it's just dead, so i'm trying to decide on a wireless router ...

k thanks, i'll try that.

they are currently set to 100full duplex.

this morning when my dad turned on the winxp pro sp2 machine, it wasn't getting an internet connection through the switch.

I have a Dlink DI-624 (rev C) Wireless Router and i'm looking into getting a switch, since i have 2 computers in one room and only one ethernet cable going to the router from there.

Ok, I did a test...

I'm on win98se, and i did the alt+ctrl+del business and closed everything except for Explorer and Systray.

After 2-3 minutes of waiting, the harddrive started workin' again for no reason. I guess it's the hard drive. I think it's the C drive too. It's an older Maxtor 52000rpm ...

Another question for you all....

This old computer, when you leave it alone... the harddrive will start workin'... you can hear it grinding away and the light blinks too :) .

Anyone know why this would happen? I figure the harddrive is going bad like i said, but can anyone confirm this for me ...

I have 2 machines. I recently bought a P4 3ghz that has an ASUS P5GDC Deluxe mobo, and im on winxp pro. I'm using one SATA harddrive.

My older machine is P3 866 ABIT VT6X4. It has 2 IDE harddrives (probably UDMA 66). The 2nd hard drive seems to be failing, thus giving me lots of freezing at startup ...

Actually I just updated the firmware on my dlink DI-624 Router from 2.25 to 2.50 and it seems to have fixed the problem. My XP machine is downloading just as fast as the win98se machine it seems.

We just purchased a new computer and we now have WinXP pro for the first time. We have been using win98se.

Well, I was just searching through some old threads and came across this one. I had forgotten that I had even made this thread and didn't know people replied.

2 more questions:

I will probably get 2 sticks of 256mb pc3200 so i can run it in dual channel mode.
So that makes a total of 512 :D

But in the future I probably want to have 1gig of ram. So then I'd have to get 2 more sticks of 256, making a total of 4.

Question #1:
Would it be better just to ...

Is it possible for FastCache to take longer than using the regular DNS servers everytime. For instance, what if you have a lot of ip's cached, and it takes longer to search through them than just asking the DNS servers what they are?

I have win98se, but i figure it would be the same for win2k.

its in control panel > network > then look for your network card then hit properties... its not the tcp/ip version of your network card, just the network card by itself.

I'm not sure if the NIC settings are totally at fault, but they probably have a little to do with it.

When i was using the 56k, i had used the tcp/ip optimizer for 56k settings, of course. Although i selected the dial up adapter when i did this, i guess it affected the NIC as well, so when i went ...

I don't know which port you need to open for BF1942, but for Warcraft 3, it starts with port 6112 or something.

So on the Port Range Forwarding page, you would enter these values in.

It says 0 to 0; I entered 6112 to 6112, because I only needed one port open.

Then I figure you might as well check ...
