    AT Effect request: Need 155 votes

    I came here to request the AT effect and saw another business applying for the very same grant. Luckily there are 12 of them so you can vote again without feeling torn. We're applying for the Chase/Living Social Small Business $250,000 grant. I'm not a big fan of government grants but since...

    In-Line volume control for desk placement

    I'm pretty sure I came across it on this board a long time back. I'm looking for an inline volume control but it would be for desktop speakers and the control would sit on your desk instead of just being part of the cord. I thought it was from radioshack but couldn't find them. Anyone seen...

    Block internet access depending on MySQL results

    Ok, this is what I'm hoping to accomplish. I have ~16 computers on a network. I want ~5 of them to have unfiltered access all the time. The rest I'd like to have a list of ~10 sites that they can access any time and the rest would depend on the results of a query or a cookie. Basically...

    GbE slower than 100megabit

    I have a An AM2 on a Foxconn A74MK-X motherboard which has a Realtek RTL8169/8110 NIC in it. When I have it plugged into my 100Mb switch or set it to connect to my gigabit switch at 100mbps I get about 9MB/s transfers. When I connect it to my gigabit switch at gigabit speed I get about 400K/s...

    What's a good single-slot video card?

    I've got 3 monitors, 2 20" 1600x1200 monitors and one 30" 2560x1600 monitor. Right now I'm running the 30" and one 20" off of a 7900GTO and the other off of a 6600GT. The 6600GT just died (I won't buy MSI cards anymore, I bought like 5 of these video cards and every one of them had a fan go...

    I was planning on putting a FreeNAS system together and got too excited about the cheap motherboard I found with GbE. FreeNAS doesn't seem to support my hardware so I'm trying to find something else that will do the job. Anyone have any ideas?

    Using two DD-WRT to setup VPN PPTP

    I've got two networks and a WRT54G running DD-WRT at each end. One network is 192.168.1.x and the other is 192.168.5.x. I tried following the guide on the wiki page for DD-WRT to setup the VPN but I'm having some trouble. From my computer on the 192.168.1.x network I can ping the router...

    2 Networks with DD-WRT Routers

    I've got two networks that I want to connect by VPN. They both have DD-WRT routers and it seems like both can be clients and servers (I don't know if it's necessary for each one to have both rolls but it seems like it might be.) Anyway, I don't know what I'm supposed to use for domain and also...

    How do I extend wireless coverage?

    I've got two DD-WRT routers and I want one seamless network. Both are wired together so I don't know if a wireless repeater is where I want to go or if something else could work better. Do clients have to support this or can I somehow set this up so that whatever AP has a better signal is the...

    Does one molecule of H2O weigh the same as 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen?

    I was having this argument from another thread and one of their arguments that you could gain more weight than something weighs is that an H20 molucle w weighs more than two hydrogen and one oxygen molecule. They were saying hydrogen has no weight because it's lighter than air. I said I didn't...

    Need a good wireless bridge

    Should a Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT work or is there a better product for me. Also, if I hook a cantenna up to one side will the other antenna work to serve my local area or should I just stick with the regular antennas?
