Meow!

Are you sure he's only the cable guy?

I know it's possible with a Linksys BEFSR41, try checking the documentation that came with the router. You'll probably need to load the web-based firmware utility, which is usually done by typing the router's IP in the address bar of your browser. The default IP is usually 192.168.1.1

Ran very slow for me, too, but IIS under XP was very fast.

Well, the homepage is http://www.xvid.org/ FYI

Use a text editor to open C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf, and change msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 to msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7 That's it. Messenger will now appear in the add/remove application under Windows Components where you can uninstall it. You will have to have show all files and unhide protected and system files checked in windows explorer options to see the inf folder.

Is there an official web site for Xvid, where one could see sample videos encoded with that codec?

I had trouble installing PHP for IIS 6.0, too, a while back. I found the following in comp.lang.php that may be of some help: In IIS 6 CGI, ASP, ISAPI etc. are prohibited by default. You have to use IIS Manager to enable the extentions you want to use. I folowed the instructions in the php install.txt for Installing on Windows NT/2000/XP and IIS 4 or newer using the ISAPI module. Afterwards I opened IIS manager from Administrative Tools. Cick on local computer, then double click on Web Service Extentions folder (the default is the extended view tab) her you have several options to add service extentions or prohibit all. Chosse add a new extention in the dialog box for extention name put PHP then click add, browse to where 'php4isapi.dll' is located hit open the ok , mark checkbox to set extention status to Allowed hit ok PHP wil show up in list of extentions as Allowed.

Also, to the original poster, have you tried rebooting the router or loading the default config?

Complete reinstall, too much base code has changed for an update. BTW, the build number is 3718, for those who are interested.

Looks good, and hopefully it will reduce the number of duplicate posts, too.

Generally, it's best to leave PCI1 unpopulated anyway, as the IRQ can be shared with the AGP slot.

There are some optimization guides around, if you're interested in that type of thing... Just do a Google search.

I've seen both 70mm fans, and adapters 80mm-70mm... An adapter would increase the downward CFM (or CMM for you metric users ) airflow, so perhaps that's worth a consideration.

Quote: I most probably will go for a smallish scsi drive for windows a maybe 1 or 2 games to run on. I'd also recommend you place your swap file on that drive.

Do you have the latest bios revision?

Glad to hear it worked!

Alright, since you're using 2 machines, side by side, I assume you have them both running to a switch/router. Have you tried different RJ-45 ports? How about replacing the cat5 cable?

Just give one of the DOS boot disks a shot, it should be more than enough to flash the bios, without the added overhead of the utilities.

I know it's possible in XP, but you have to edit Explorer.exe with a hex editor. Perhaps a skinning program would be a better bet. Maybe Windowblinds or something similar.

Another cool (pun intended) feature of the P4 is if it overheats, it will slow down, for self-preservation... There's a video on Tom's Hardware of a P4 running the Quake 3 timedemo looped, and the heatsink/fan is removed. Nearly instantly, the FPS drops sharply, but upon reattaching the heatsink/fan, the game speeds back up. Just an extra bit of insurance, I suppose. At the time when I was deciding what platform to build as my next PC, the Athlon/AthlonXP didn't have such a feature. Now, I am careful with case fans, etc., but I never shut my machine off, so there is the increased risk of a fan dying when I am not nearby to catch it.

You got it... When dual/multibooting, as someone else said, install the oldest OS first, that way you can take advantage of the newer OS's boot menu. If you ever choose to dual/multiboot with linux and windows, install windows first, too. Let the linux bootloader (grub/lilo) manage the bootup.

Once you have downloaded the bios update (usually about 256-512KB) you will want to exctract it to a boot disk. If you don't have one, you can download a Windows 98 boot disk (recommended) from bootdisk.com. Just copy the bios update file and the update utility to your bootdisk, and reboot, then follow the instructions listed with the bios update.

My recommendation, for what it's worth, is PowerQuest DriveImage. I have used both DriveImage and Ghost, and I think that Ghost is better when imaging to CD-R or a network, but from HDD to HDD, I prefer DriveImage.

Did you image the partition or the drive? As I remember, on a drive with an NTFS partition, there is +/- 8MB left unpartitioned... Did that get imaged to the new drive as well?
