Same thing happen to me, except it was on an HP desktop CD rom drive and *I think it was from pushing a button. It will continously eject, when I pressed the hidden special button it would close and run but when you restart the computer it would do it all over agian. It's so strange, it will always do this and have not been able to think of a way to fix it. I'm with you buddy! Yes its not ide based, just if you have power in the drive and the PC turns on it will eject. Not a software problem on the computer it's self I can guarantee, must be firmware....

Ok My room is very messy right now because I'm not sure what to do with all the computer stuff lying around and was wondering if you guys know what to do or how you deal with it. I have various computer parts, from Power supplies to ATA Cards to hard drives I got it all. I could technically build a computer with all of these parts but I dont want to so I'm asking how you guys deal with your computer parts. I can't put them into plastic containers because of the static electricity and I dont want to put them into boxes because thats how they have been getting damaged. I dont have enough anti static bags to put all the components in so was also wondering where I could get some. Any Ideas?

true but, if you are even more computer knowledged you would know that the IP of the router your connecting to is the gateway. So newbie network administrators change the router's IP so that others on the network don't try to access the router, I found this out when going to the connections icon and looked, then realized that the gateway IP is the router's IP. When you attempt to connect to a wireless network unless hidden, the network broadcasts the gateway's ip so you can get on the internet which is why it's kinda useless. About the SSID, the thing is the option to disable it like the line below it to write it is invalid. Like you have the text {linksys} and then below you have an option for disable or enable.

Hi I am net to being on the forums at this site (been to the site alone many times) and I know this question has been asked at least 1000 times but how do you access a network with out a SSID broadcast? If it doesn't have an SSID broadcast then how are you suppose to access this. I want to make my network more secure and I am wondering how to go about this, please let me know. I'm experienced with networks and have heard about disabling SSID broadcasts on networks but have never bothered to try until now.
