    I'm looking for a cheapie mobo/CPU combo to go into a Compaq Presario case. I don't mind paying a little if you have a nicer combo to sell instead of a freebie.

    Wireless Router Security

    Thanks everyone for your replies! I have enabled WPA/WPA2 and i only have one machine that has a card that needs to be upgraded. I'll pick up another card soon. Why am I getting an error that my laptop can't get a certificate from my router? The tab that i normally go check...

    Wireless Router Security

    I think i used WEP because one of my wireless cards is rather old, and didn't support anything else. I'll double check that though. So if i turn off DHCP, then the person connecting would have to guess the IP range that i'm using locally?

    Sorry, i just saw this. It's an HP1100 with the funky non standard printer cable. I ended up going to newegg and getting a female 25 pin parallel to USB cable for like $10. Works well. Thanks though!

    Wireless Router Security

    Ok, my ole trusty Linksys Wireless B router kicked the bucket a few months back and I went and got a Dynex Wireless G router (Best Buy brand). It works for what i want it to do but I do have a security dilemma. My old Linksys would allow me to restrict the number of IP's DHCP hands out...

    WANT: Parallel to USB adapter Any brand Trackball Wireless Keyboard/Mouse TV card with a remote I got a new computer and the darn thing doesn't have a parallel port on it. My trusty old laser printer only has a parallel port. Does anyone have an adapter laying around so i can print...

    What's my problem??

    I have an older custom built pc made up of various parts. I think it's a 1.2 Athlon with a 1GB RAM running Ubuntu and XP on Dual boot. The other day i turn it on and it clears the BIOS and powers itself off. Pressing the power switch does nothing. Checked all of the normal things like...

    Needs: I was given an HP1100 LJ printer but it didn't come with a printer cable. For those if you that aren't familiar, it has a 25 pin cable on the end to the computer and an HP funky end on the connection to the printer. That cable end has a name but it has left me. These cables will...

    Free keyboard shortcut program

    I got my dad a computer and he has a very hard time using the mouse. All he wants to use the computer for is to stream music, so my intention was to add the direct link to a music site to the startup folder on his login (W2K). However, the site tries to connect before the pc establishes a...

    Does anyone have any HTML/Web Design books they've mastered and/or no longer have a need for?
