Still no luck. I am running XP SP2 and the DSL modem is a 2Wire 1701HG Gateway. Anyone else out there with this setup been able to go through a router? Do I have do disable PPPoE on the modem somehow and just configure it on the router? All of the correct LEDs are lit on it but I can't connect...

I just got SBC DSL yesterday and had no trouble setting up the modem and getting online. I also purchased the LinkSys WRT54g router but so far I have been unable to get that to work with my connection. When I try to go through the wizard I can get through several steps until it attempts to test...

I'm looking into getting a DSL connection and getting off of dial-up. My question is this: we currently have a seperate phone line installed in the room with my computer for the sole purpose of internet access. The only phone jack for that line is in this room, with the rest of the house wired...

Yeah looks like it must be the motherboard. Now I'm faced with a new problem. The old Intel BX boards are dead, and this guy has a slot P3 800 with SDRAM. Can anyone suggest a cheap upgrade option if I'm going to have to replace all of these components.

Taking a look at another person's computer for them, that's being selective when it decides to start up. It's an older P3 800. Once it's on everything is fine, but most of the time when I turn it on I get no signal while everything else powers up. I've tried taking out all pci cards, swapping...

I'm putting together a computer for my sister to take with her to college. I'm looking for an ATX form factor case, and I was wondering if anyone could offer up any suggestions. I'm looking for something that's small and light weight. I'm weary of ending up with a piece of junk, especially since...

I have an Intel 850GB board that I'm going to give my sister to take to college. It's currently in a server case though, so I'm looking to move it into the smallest and lightest solution possible. Just wondering if anybody had any ideas. Thanks.

Thanks ivwshane. It was the digital output only checkbox. Forgot all about that since I didn't have to do it with my previous sound blaster live! to get sound. Thanks everyone for your support.

I'm using Windows XP Pro. I used the method from tweaktown where you install a sb live! series card manually first and then install the driver update. It says that it installed and is working, and it was able to detect my sindwinder gamepad, but I'm still not hearing any sound from this card. Is...

One of my friends recently moved away and gave me his audigy card, only thing is I don't have the driver cd. I was looking at the forums on where to get some drivers but the only thing I found was 377 megs and I'm on a dial-up connection. Anybody know of any alternatives or other driver...

So this could now be a motherboard problem? I have reseated everything and it powers up with all fans moving but I never get a video signal. Just curious as to what I would I should look into replacing first.

A friend wanted me to change his HSF for him on an AMD Thunderbird cpu. It was working fine before, and after I made the switch it started to post and then stopped. I thought maybe it was overheating and was even worried that the CPU may be fried. There was no odor and after taking the HSF off...

Built my friend a computer a little over a year ago and recently it's been acting up. After booting it up the screen starts to shake and eventually turns all white with vertical lines. Tried my comp with his monitor and it worked fine. Tried his video card in my machine and it worked fine...

Now that every warranty has basically expired on all of the parts in the computer I put together, it seems like a good idea to invest in a UPS. Can anyone recommend a good one? I currently have a 300w PS, with a 1.4GHz cpu. I was looking around at newegg, but I don't know much about this stuff...

Thanks for all of the advice and the link. The new fan has been ordered.
