sid, I do know that there are programs that act like a pop3 server, that can check hotmail. what they do is(I think) sit in your system tray, and any pop3 email prog can connect to the program. If you don't mind having that program open all the time, then those would work fine. I'm looking for a...

are there any email progs out there that support hotmail out of the box, without having some proxy running all the time? OE keeps giving me double messages and I can't fix it, and I don't like the web based format of hotmail.com

oh yeah, I didn't even think about the heat. I dont feel like putting holes into the monitor just yet, so I guess I'll just put this idea off for now, that for the replies

I wasn't looking to get a better picture, I just thought it might be more productive that way, I just wanted to try it out, since most webpages and a lot of other non-gaming stuff would prolly look better if the screen was taller than wide. just think about this page at a resolution of 1024X768.

I can just make a good enough base out of these useless books left over from college

I was looking through the display settings advanced properties and found out that with the version of nvidia drivers I have, I can rotate the computer screen 90, 180, and 270 degrees. So I wanted to see if rotating the screen 90 degrees and then turning the monitor on its side is any better than...

the file is called "hosts", no quotes. there is no extension on it. It's located in c:/windows/system32/driver/etc for winxp, not sure about other versions of windows.

it might be your hosts file, I forgot where it's located, just search for a file name hosts. take a look in that and delete everything in there, and save it. that will fix it

See, the thing is that england is a small country, hence there is a totally different situation there. In order to wire up everyone with broadband, you have to cover an extremely small area. Therefore, the competition can be fierce, which means lower prices, here, unless you're in a medium to...

How do you check the interfaces for errors? cmetz and skyking, I'll try those, thx. Zetter, first of all, everything I've read, suggests that both wiring standards are the same. especially for 100mbit and lower, when it comes to gigabit, then you have to make sure that all the stuff is the...

well, the answer is simple, if the ports are wired up for internet, then yes, otherwise no.

I think you just make sure that there's no file in your ./folder that's name index.* That should do it.

Is there any type of freeware program that I can run on 2 comps on the network, just to see if I did the installation coreectly? I figure I'll just move my comp from jack to jack, and test all the connections. The network doesn't need to be able to transfer files at super fast speeds, I just...

yeah, but why would it work on one comp, and not the other? if it was incorrect wiring(which I'm 99.9% sure it isn't, I even checked a 3rd time), then wouldn't the problem repeat itself on other computers? BTW, can anyone give me an answer to my first post? That's the one that's most important...

I got the SMC7008abr, I haven't had much of any oppurtunity to really put it thru it's paces, but it's working ok so far. and it cost 80 bucks at www.yesmicro.com(they had plenty in stock). So basically it's up to you to decide whether the extra bux is worth just one box, as opposed to cheaper...
