    [Wireless] What is the point of Open System Authentication with WEP data encryption?

    I recently bought a Proxim RangeLAN-DS 802.11b access point. It does not appear to support shared key authentication, although it does support 40-bit and 128-bit WEP for data encryption. So, whether or not I enable WEP, the access point will always be using open system authentication. I realize...

    Weekly Diet Plan Help

    If one was to design a weekly diet plan, ie. where food type is varied throughout the week, but the same amount / type of food is comsumed for each week, and this plan was designed to average 2000 calories/day, would it be reasonable to assume that as long as ~ 14,000 calories are consumed per...

    Anyone know of a free/cheap java RDP client?

    I'm looking for something I can use to connect to my Win2k terminal server from the campus computers that only have netscape installed. I've been using the shareware version of HobLink JWT and it works really well, but I don't think I'll be able to afford the $175 license fee once my 30 day...

    Looking for a Firewire enclosure for 3.5" IDE drive

    I'm thinking of getting a BookPC setup that will only have room for 1 internal hard drive, but it will come with 2 firewire ports integrated. I have an extra 45 gig / 5400 rpm ide drive that I wanted to put in an external firewire enclosure. I've done a bit of research online, and there seem...

    Random Power Failure on P6DBE

    Supermicro P6DBE dual processor BX board running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The past 2 days it has been shutting off randomly, sometimes staying up for 5 minutes, other times for up to 2 hours. What could be causing this? I've checked the power supply and power connections, and everything...

    Lame Java Question

    This one is pretty basic, but for some reason I'm being kind of dense right now. If I have a method, say removeLast() in the class LinkedList, which, according to Sun's specs, removes the last element from a LinkedList and returns it, does that mean I must do something like this: Object blah =...

    Changing Terminal Services port

    I was wondering if there was a way to change the port that 2k Terminal Services runs on from the default of 3389 to 80. If that's not possible, it's not a big deal since I can just forward tcp 80 -> 3389 on my FreeBSD natd/ipfw machine which is "in front" of my terminal server. So I...

    Which PCI card under Win2K - GF2MX or V4 ?

    I'm looking to build a portable LAN box that will use an 810e chipset motherboard in an In-win FlexATX case. AGP is not an option, as I have not found a suitable 815 FlexATX board. With that said, which PCI card will perform better under Win2k - the Geforce2 MX or the Voodoo 4? The only game...

    Viewing "source" of forum pages

    Hello, I was thinking of writing a small java program that would notify me when I had private messages, but I can't seem to retrieve the html source for these pages, which is a very major hangup. Any thoughts, or is this impossible? Just for clarification, I know how to get the source for...

    Realplayer on 2nd output of Matrox G450

    Has anyone gotten Realplayer to display video (and not a blank black window) on the 2nd output of a G450 under Win2k? I had the exact same problem while running two voodoo3's and was hoping that having a single card would fix the problem. I believe that the problem has to do with overlay...

    Overclocking on an MSI 815EM Pro

    I just purchased this MicroATX board, hoping to run my P3-550e @ 733+. The processor has been running fine at 5.5*133 = 733 at default voltage for several months in my BH6 1.0x, but I wanted a smaller computer and this seemed to be one of the most featureful boards out there that met my size...

    Looking for an 815 MicroATX Board

    I'm trying to make a "small" computer to put in an Enlight 7150. I've got most of the parts already, but I just need to find a decent board that will allow me to run my 550e @ 733+. It would also be _very_ nice to find a board with the integrated Intel LAN. I've only been able to...
