Apache for Windows works perfectly well. If you don't mind the textfile-based configuartion, it really is the best way to host since it is actually quite versatile (allows virtual hosting and whatnot) IIS (Internet Information Services?) for Windows2000 is on both Professional AND Server, you...

The cheapest way (assuming you have a comp with broadband w/ a static IP): - Whatever OS - Apache for your webserver program (FREE) - Register your domain at www.getadomain.com ($12) - Use www.zoneedit.com for DNS servers (FREE) VOILA! You have your very own www.spankinwebsite.com

i believe kds uses the same tube as samsungs, at least for the lower 15" models.

actually the real output through 802.11 as of now seems to be an average of 2-3 mbps, unless you are standing RIGHT next to the accesspoint.

This what I have: Abit BX6-2.0 MOBO w/ latest BIOS Celery II 850, 256 MB RAM 2 Maxtor 30 Gig 7200 rpm HDs 1 Pioneer IDE DVD-ROM 703S 1 HP CDRW Win2K/Win98ME Dual Boot I'm trying to boot up my two Maxtors off my Promise Ultra66 card that I just installed. I made sure I put the card in without...

GTE as both an ISP and a line carrier is excellent. I lived on Kelton and we were only 1000 ft or so from the base I think. Also, GTE doesn't use PPPoE. However, they do only offer one IP, and they won't let you know that they charge an "Internetworking Fee" of $17.95 for extra IPs...

The tweaks really don't help that much, but I guess if you're trying to squeeze some extra juice ... Some quick tips: - high frequency devices (gigahertz phones, etc) interfere with the dsl line. ditch 'em. - minimize the upload bandwidth drainers (that means NO ftp servers or Napster) it'll...

I also hear Adelphia is bringing cable modems into Westwood. If you don't want to pay the phone charge that's not a bad idea as well. GTE/Verizon is pretty damn sneaky about 'extra' charges.

A simple solution to this: Get DSL without PPPoE. ;)

PPPoE = PPP over Ethernet I'm not sure on the exact details either, basically they just took the existing PPP struture and moved it over to the 802.3 Ethernet. It works so that you have to use a client to authenticate your DSL connection using WinPOET. A pain in the ass in my opinion, and...

Nope, I was just wondering if there was anything better. It seems like that's what people use most. Thanks.

Earthlink is OK. The only thing that kinda annoys me is that they use PPPoE, which I think is a bout of laziness. The 8bytes per packet probably doesn't do THAT much damage, but when you're a bandwidth grinch like me you wanna try to save every little byte. =)

Gayley is GTE domain. GTE will be your line provider, and I recommend you get GTE as your ISP as well. You are really close to the base (~1000-1500ft) and will get excellent xfer rates to UCLA servers. (~90k/sec) Except the dorms, damn that stupid upload restriction.

At about 1000 ft from the base, we were getting an average of 60-70k/sec on GTE's 768/128 Bronze package. Depending on the other side, sometimes it could peak to 80-90k/sec. BTW, we were using GTE lines with GTE as our ISP. Well, now Verizon. Whatever.

Sometimes the network card freaks out and you have to swap it to a different slot. I had occasional problems with my POS NIC locking up on me with a hardware IP (169.xx.xxx.xxx) I would just take it out, pop it in another PCI slot and it would work fine. And this is with a BX6-2 motherboard...
