    Metered network connection.

    I am renting a room in a house and I want to share my high-speed internet connection with the owners to save money. I want to split the bandwidth equally so that no one person hogs the connection. Are there any wireless home networking routers that offer this type of metered network connection...

    I want to buy an IBM thinkpad dock with a half size PCI slot and then install the ATI HDTV wonder in it. Is it possible? I searched the internet for the dimensional specifications of a half size pci card, but found nothing. Just looking at the ATI card, I can see it has full width as a regular...

    External 5.25" USB 2.0 enclosure.

    I am doing that, but I value the comments from AnandTech forum members more that comments form newegg buyers. Basically I want to know if I am looking for the right features, and if anyone on the forums has had a particularly good or bad experience with any brand. The Newegg reviews are written...

    Can anyone recommend a good external enclosure?

    I don't know if windows power management has built in features for usb mass storage drives. I have a Buffalo Drive Station 160GB external hard drive. It ships with the Buffalo Power Save Utility for HD, which is a background service power managemant utility that runs in the system tray. You can...

    Rotate a .mpg video 90 deg.

    I shot a small VGA .mpg video using my Sony DSCP10 camera. The particular scene required that I shoot the video with the camera held vertically, i.e., with 3:4 aspect. Unfortunately, I did not realize that the file would be saved horizontally with 4:3 aspect. So now the whole clip plays tilted...

    WPA on Win2K client.

    Thank you JackMDS. The link to the free software that you provided was the same thing I had tried, when I found out that it only worked with the SSID on. I just realized that of the 7 open networks here, there is one with a blocked SSID that I can detect without any special hacking tools, which...

    WPA on Win2K client.

    Thanks for the advice guys. There are actually 7 open 802.11b networks in that I can access form my house. Correspondingly, there must be more then 7 wireless computers out there, so my priority is to keep my network anonymous. I am not concerned about hacking, as I am the only Camry owner in my...

    WPA on Win2K client.

    I run an 802.11g home network with three laptops accessing it. One is WinXP + Centrino; and two have Win2K, one with a Belkin 54G adapter and one with a Cisco Aeronet 350 adapter. Because the Belkin 54G adapter does not support WPA on Win2K, I am forced to run WEP. I tried the free Wireless...
