    Basic Cat5 question, any help appreciated.

    Hey Sluggo, What kind of building contractor can't "hide" $500 in the cost of the job? A contractor with some modicum of integrity? Where were you when I needed you? Mine didn't bother to try to hide a couple of thousand in stuff I've never seen. At least your customers will see and...

    Basic Cat5 question, any help appreciated.

    Residential phone service doesn't run from room to room, it runs to a junction box/punch down panel. Theoretically it'll work but I would do the 2 drop routine using CAT5e, CAT7 if you have money to burn. Throw all kinds of stuff in those walls now when they are open, cable costs pennies...

    Whe else is on my cable modem network?

    Try this: NetScan Tools http://www.nwpsw.com/ Use the NetScanner tab and punch in some IP's around your address. I think you'll find what you are looking for.

    FREE IBM Rapid Access keyboard after rebate.

    The investment scheme is quite simple and the only downsides are driveby shootings, turf wars involving your corner, and a possible cell mate named "Long" Latrelle.

    Please Help! Serial mouse doesn't work

    I think you've already got your answer- it's not working with the adapter. MS mice are real finicky abut the adapters.

    Please help me get my linksys router working with my dsl!

    Broadway Blue, Even though you are "dynamic" through PPOE the DNS servers of Bell South are not. You checked "Obtain and IP Adress Automatically" but a little further down the screen you see spots for up to 3 DNS servers, 1, 2, 3. You need to enter those values. I'm...

    advice on "cheap" laser printer.

    NEC 1400. Check CNET, it's down below $250. I have had an 870 for a couple of years now. Great printer. Someone mentioned their support. The board went on mine, called support, they gave me a RMA, shipped it to service center and it was back in 2 days, good as new. It will do 12ppm at 1200...

    problem trying to set virtual memory myself with win98se

    I wouldn't rely on Sandra's warnings/tips too much. Notoriously irrelevant. An example, I get a "Memory bus speed exceeds rated memory speed" warning. Isn't that the object? It also warns me that an LPT1: port can't be detected as I watch my printer churn out reams. I would leave...

    Whats this cable modem uncapping??

    BW: Could be bandwith saturation. You've had it a year and I bet many in your area have got on the bandwagon since then. Do you notice the slowdown more so during "peak times"? You could try the tweaks for your OS at this site: Speed Guide Jamey: From Computing Central: Line...
