have you tried a hard reboot of the Linksys router. They usually have a small button on the back

My new ISP has provided me with a modem/voice router (a voyager 220v) and i want to connect this in turn to a linksys router (befsr41) so i can share my internet connection between 2 computers. I've plugged them together and turned dhcp off on the linksys but I get no WAN light on the linksys...

Can anyone recco a good freeware tool to split movies into segments. Typically i want to split a 700M 100 minute movie into 2 halfs so i can burn each to a dvd. I'd really like one that accepted mpg, avi, and as many other formats as possible without having to re-encode.

HTTPwatch is good for IE on the PC. It's not quite the same as iGet but it let's you see the real url of a file so you can make the download. It's downloadable as a trial

The reason i woudl like both is purely because I have to use a PC for work and want to use the Mac for home use. I've got VPC now and it's ok, in fact i will almost certainly keep it as it allows me to boot multiple windows OSs at the same time - somehting i coudl never do on a windows box...

I use spyware blaster along with AdAware and have never had any problems. But I think it's important to use more than one as none of them are perfect. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ or a direct download from http://www.filehippo.com/download_ad-aware/
