    redirect IP to IP with hosts file

    I'm trying to redirect a Static IP (assigned to us by our ISP) to an internal IP address (so we don't get sent to router config). Just putting in the Static IP in where the domain name usually goes in the hosts file doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this?

    USB Scanner increases CPU temp

    We recently got a new Canon USB2 scanner. My CPU temps seemed a bit higher than normal, but I didn't think the scanner would have anything to do with it. But I unplug the scanner's USB from the back of my system (USB2), temps go down to 42C (about normal). Plug it back in, temps go up to 48C...

    Assigning static IP to server behind router?

    OK, I've been searching a little bit on this topic, but wondering if I could get an answer before I go to town. I doubt I need any new hardware, but wouldn't hurt to know in case. Got a home network with several machines behind a router, hooked up to a DSL modem. We recently got a machine we...

    PS2 Devil May Cry, VF 4, $9 Target Clearance

    My local Target (northern MN) had Devil May Cry, Virtua Figher 4, and Resident Evil Code Veronica X for about $9 on clearance. YMMV. It's a shame I don't have a PS2. Also all Xbox Platinum Hits were on sale for $15.

    BB 5/25 - 5/31, WD800JB $59.99 AR, WD1200JB $79.00AR, is this right?

    Checked the new Best Buy ads online, and it lists the Western Digital 80GB 8MB cache WD800JB for $59.99 after rebate, and $79.99 for the WD1200JB (120GB 8MB cache). I'm hoping this isn't another error, but not keeping my hopes up. They DO list the JB model numbers, though the image would suggest...

    Maxtor L01J100 120GB 8MB $79.99 AR @ BB, edit: Only 2MB?

    I checked the weekly Best Buy ads for my location online, and they're advertising a Maxtor L01J100, 120GB (packaging saying it's a 100GB drive + 20GB free), with 8MB cache, for $79.99 after rebate(s). Though this may be an actual 120GB drive, I'm not sure. Most references I found online had the...

    Connect fans to mb or P/S?

    Is it best to connect your case fan(s) to the motherboard (3-pin) or power supply (4-pin)? How about for a fan on a heatsink? I would guess the HS fan would go to the motherboard, but not sure about the case fans. Is one way better than the other? signed, complete newb also: will I need to...

    Newegg - 1700+ Tbred-A / Tbred-B

    I heard that some people are getting Tbred-A 1700's from Newegg instead of Tbred-B's. Does this happen very often? Is there any way to ensure I get a 'B' when I order?

    New Athlon System, $250-$300?

    I want to build an Athlon-based system. (Would be my first time building a system.) I have about $240 coming, and I was hoping I could put together a decent system without spending too much more than that. I would need at the very least: case/PS, motherboard, CPU, RAM. What I want is something...
