Thanks for the responses. I've taken the card to a neighbor, Fardringle, who has the same router/adapter as I do and the card works fine; running a "g" speeds. I've checked for router firmware updates but not lately so I'll check again. This is frustraing, jii. Checking for firmware/drivers...

Greetings. I have a Netgear WGTB511T 108 Mbps Wireless Router/Notebook Card Kit and an Acer Travelmate 529 TXV Notebook. With this solution in place, I get no DCHP and I cannot connect to the internet or even ping the router. When I assign a static IP, I get a strong signal but still can't...

Good suggestions, spyordie007. I'll see what's out there for my mobo; Abit NFS-7. The cable's new and I don't think I can do anything with the enclosure. SP2 supposedly has some firewire tweaks but I'm wary of upgrading. Thanks for the response. Regards.

Thanks for the reply, Uncle Bob. I use both the USB and Firewire connections; usually Firewire. I'm still a little wary of SP2 but will explore the level of usb/firewire support in that service pack. Regards.

Greetings. Please excuse the double post. I incorrectly posted in General Hardware when I really need some Tech Support. So... I own a Plumax PM-525C2-PPS Silver Combo USB 2.0 & Firewire 1394 External Enclosure with a 250G Seagate hard drive in it. For the second time, I have been...

Has anyone out there experienced a similar occurance? Any clues? Please share. Regards.

Greetings. I own a Plumax PM-525C2-PPS Silver Combo USB 2.0 & Firewire 1394 External Enclosure with a 250G Seagate hard drive in it. For the second time, I have been forced to recover all the data using GetDataBack from the drive because it has become "inaccessible". WinXP Pro Explorer says...

Greetings. I'm running WinXPpro and have a 250G Maxtor drive partitioned into two logical drives. This drive does not have the OS on it. I can't access the drive and get error messages like Subject Line above and "Unable to determine volume version and state." and "Bad file record signature"...

Hello, All. Thanks for your input. Just to wrap this thread up: I couldn't discover/kill/or otherwise stop the bandit that stole my RPCSS service. So I re-formatted, re-installed and patched the OS (WinXPpro). I wanted to find out what was really going on but my need for the system took...

Greetings. Although I've maintained all M$ patches/updates, their flawed RPC service has left a door open on my system and I have a svchost process (RPCSS) running wild and burning up 99% of my cpu cycles. I've repatched to no avail. Is patching supposed to plug all the holes and effectively...

Greetings. I pickup one up today. Mine was an Asus CRW-5224A. The serial number was in the pattern: ##AA######. Had to update the Nero software to get it to work. Pretty sweet. How does this unit compare to the Lite On? Regards.

Hey, rajndra, What kind of serial numbers were on your AOpen burner; all digits or alphanumeric? Regards. (Excuse the previous non-post)

Just to follow-up on AMDfreaks's response: see this posting at amdmb forums. Regards.
