    AsRock, ASUS or ECS? Z68 is not an option! :(

    Same. Might have been the same model, I don't remember, but it was an Asus XP board... after two DOAs I got one that would post then had nothing but problems with it. Finally sold it and bought an MSI as a replacement. Been using an ECS the last 4 years without a problem. This time around I've...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    That helps quite a bit. I guess it was a good thing it was broken, although most of my neighbors call me if their mouse comes unplugged so they aren't likely to break any encryption.

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Heh, well I'm definitely a networking amateur (if that) and I used WEP because it was used in the documentation.

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    SUCCESS! Turns out the first problem was the antenna settings were not on the recommended settings by default. Same with CTS Protection Mode. The WEP issue is a bug in v.24 sp1 that has been around for months but the documentation hasn't caught up. I circumvented the problem by using WPA...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Thanks. It got lost in the shuffle but I had mentioned it wasn't working with security off. But. It appears to be working now. I changed the ssid of both devices (although they were the same before), double and triple checked all settings, rebooted both and now it is working, sans...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    router = dlink di-524 bridge is = linksys WRT54GL w/ dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin I've switched it on and off a number of times. When the bridge is connected with a cable I can connect to it through my router but I cannot connect wirelessly. Should I be able to ping the bridge wireless...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Okay, the flash went fine and I followed the instructions to the letter but its a no-go - nothing connected to the bridge will connect to the internet. Disabled security to eliminate that variable but no effect. Been googling and reading but I'm not finding any additional information. There...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    Thanks, I know what I want to do but I'm not sure on exactly how to get there. edit: okay, reading that link it looks like I want an independent bridge. My computer, cable modem and D-link wireless router are in room A. My xbox360 and other stuff are in room B. So I need to connect the...

    How do I setup a router as an access point?

    I have an Linksys WRT54GL and an older D-Link Di-524, both are wireless. I need to setup an access point in another room for my 360 and stuff. Can I do this with the Linksys, do I need to flash the firmware? Not sure how to do this.

    Time for a new mouse - suggest one to me!

    What is going wrong with your mouse? I have an MX700, had it for quite a while, 2-3 years. The right mouse button is behaving erratically. It started a while back that sometimes a click wouldn't register and I would have to click again. Now it is behaving erraticly. If I click and drag a...

    Is it more important to be right or do right?

    http://www.bartleby.com/59/3/dontcutoffyo.html Your definitions are narrow. I've been there, but at some point in my life I realized that I bear no responsibility if others disagree with me or have false beliefs.

    UT2K4 $19.99 at Compusa

    All versions on Half I played UT almost every day from the day the demo came and for the next 2.5 years. Like many fans, I was disappointed in 2003. Then when the demo for 2004 came out, I could not get it to run stable on my system so I was afraid to buy the game. I may break down and buy it...

    Where is the catch(Dell has a great deal?????)

    Using an Athlon is the only way and even then, I have yet to see anyone do it. My point is that it is nearly impossible to build a machine from scratch, equivalent to a Dell (in quality and included stuff) for less money. The reason people can't match the price of a Dell is that you have to...
