    VDSL2 PPPoE on DD-WRT or Tomato? Which router to use?

    I can't get this setup to work. I have an Actiontec Q1000 modem from Qwest/Centurylink, I called tech support and they confirmed my service supports running my modem in Transparent Bridge mode (RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging) and having my router handle the PPPoE connection. I have put the modem...

    Anyone know how I would setup a custom DDNS using my current host and a subdomain?

    I currently have a website hosted with Bluehost and a router running Tomato. I've setup Tomato to use no-ip.com and that works. I saw in Tomato I could use a custom URL, which got me thinking that maybe I could use a subdomain on my current host to host a DDNS service that my router...

    Syncing Outlook Calendars with Google Calendars

    I'm not sure exactly which forum this belongs to as it stems from an issue with both Outlook and GCAL, but has anyone found a GOOD solution for syncing your two calendars? I know the Google Calendar Sync application exists, but it is very limited and only syncs the main outlook calendar and...

    I'm looking for a good portable projector, any experiences?

    Hey has anyone here tried out a few different projectors? I'm looking for a nice portable projector that will perform in most any environment. Keystoning seems to be the biggest enemy and can be adjusted either digitally or manually, with the manual correction being limited to vertical image...

    Multiple monitors from a single DisplayPort?

    How do I know if my Graphics cards can support this? We just got a few new Dell Laptops/Desktops (Latitude Z/Optiplex 780) and we would like to run Dual monitors. The Optiplex's have DisplayPort and VGA outs, so I could just grab a converter for those and run VGA/DVI, but the Z's have only...

    AMD/ATI HD5850 overscan issues

    Well I got my HD5850 running now with 3 monitors, but I am having some "slight" issues with my 37" HDTV. I have 2 monitors running on Display port and DVI, and my HDTV hooked up via HDMI. For whatever reason I need to use overscan in the ATI control center in order to fill out the display on...

    Would disabling my laptop screen as a display increase performance?

    I need to squeeze 1 more month of life out of using my Vostro 1400 as my primary computer, and I am wondering if it would be beneficial in anyways to disable my laptop as a monitor while I use my external display. I'm only trying to play WoW/SC2 on it, and I love the multimonitor for desktop...

    Ultramon's "move window" button and Google Chrome

    After installing Ultramon an option for a "move window" button is available that adds this button next to the normal 'minimize, restore, and close' window buttons found at the top right of any window. Ultramon is able to do this for most programs, but it is not able to do this with Google...

    5850 and 3 Displays

    Ok as far as I've read the 5850 is one of the few (only?) graphics cards that can run 3 monitors simultaneously, assuming at least one is run from DisplayPort. I have also read that one DisplayPort can power more than one monitor at a time. I currently have a 37" LCD TV with DVI, D-Sub, and...

    HTPC Build or Laptop: Moderate Gaming

    Possibly a confusing title, but I am either looking to upgrade my laptop or build a HTPC. I do not need cutting edge, I just need decent framerate while raiding in WoW and something that can play HD content at 1080/720. I have had my eyes set on the Dell M11X, but I just can't get past the...

    Rename General Hardware forum to Computer Hardware and Builds

    The General Hardware is very nice to read, but a lot of it is Computer Build questions and whether this build is good or recommendations for this type of build or for this type of person. Though very helpful and useful questions to read and ask, I think those questions would best be located in...

    Best iPhone IM app?

    What IM apps have you used for the iPhone, and what seems to have the least affect on battery life/performance? I need to get an app that supports Google chat and has push notifications, basically the closest equivalent to what I experience on my Android phone with gChat. I would like it to...
