I'm currently running a wireless router and laptop at 802.11g, but want to add another laptop and my tivo (wirelessly). Can I buy the cheaper 11b adapters for these devices and allow them to connect at 11b while my main laptop connects at 11g, or does the router have to run on one or the other...

Drag, awesome info indeed...i'm still reading through everything. Question for you regarding Mandrake vs. other distros: Am I better off installing something like Slackware or Debian in order to learn? I want to really form an understanding of the OS, not just install and have some shell...

Well I've installed Mandrake 9.2 with basically every option and now I feel lost. I can surf the web, check my email, etc etc but I'm clueless when it comes to navigating through the file system and installing new software. I wanted to download some things off KDE-Look.org (karamba based apps)...

i didn't even bother with the firmware. from the posts i've read people said it doesn't matter. frankly, I shouldn't need to upgrade anything. the thing doesn't do what it's supposed to out of the box, and for that reason it'll go back. it might sound stupid but I'm not going to waste any...

I've got the Linksys Wireless G router now (WRT54G) and it's crap. Wired and wireless connections are dropped constantly (problem goes away as soon as I hook up my old Linksys router). This one is going back to the store but I want to get something that'll work well with my mPCI card in my...

Sony's solution is to sell me the service manual for $30 or so. I figured that someone here would be able to shed some light... I'll keep poking around to see what I can do...

anyone? btt...

I ordered a replacement keyboard for my sister's vaio XG700k laptop... problem is that I can't figure out how to get the thing open and get the old keyboard out. I took out almost all the screws and the case is stick together on each side right around the jog dial/ ~ key. can someone please...

no it's a standard pop server for my comcast mail. thoughts?

Subject says it all... I installed the Palm software and want to sync it with Outlook XP (email, contacts, etc). Everything works except email, and I'm totally stumped. Anyone have any advice? I'm running WinXP and Office XP. Thx Mike

ok last question... is there any difference between FRU Part # 91P7301 and part # 31P9701 (part # for the mPCI card given to me by IBM)??

ok so what's the FRU #, and can I order with that if they don't have a record of me ever owning an mPCI card from them in the past?

i don't get it...what in that post alludes to the notion that we wouldn't have to wait for the backordered card (assuming we don't have a card that is currently malfunctioning)?

not yet.... i emailed and they said if you call and ask over the phone that you can order it, but I'm hesitant because they pulled all the web pages off their site. hmmmmmmmmmmm...

thanks Jack.... so the WAP basically gives better coverage throughout the house?
