I don't need it. Thank you for asking. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Or, you could setup a DHCP server that will ***ign the info you need (IP, Gateway, Subnet Mask) to communicate. Most home-use routers include this ability, so you may want to research this if both locations can do this. Or, just use the same numbering conventions at both locations, therefore having the same IP on both networks. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Happy Holidays! ------------------ Regards, clutch

If you aren't looking for TV-out or whatnot, then the cheaper one is the best. Both are from reputable companies, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. If you get one online in a "whitebox" version, then it will be even cheaper. Hell, you may even be able to get a 64MB GTS or Pro for the same money as the 32MB cards you are looking at! ------------------ Regards, clutch

I have the Hercules Prophet GTS PRO (200MHzGPU, 400MHz Memory) and it rocks. I have had a Annihilator Ultra, and it didn't go much faster in Q3 (about 2-5fps faster) than the Pro did. In addition, I had a bunch of stability issues with my AOpen AX-34 mobo with the Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset. I imagine that it would have performed better with a BX or i815 mobo, but for $285 for the Pro, vs. $500 for the Ultra I just couldn't see keeping the Ultra even when I do switch out my motherboard. ------------------ Regards, clutch

I like the Matrix and Dr. Strangelove. Hope that helps... ------------------ Regards, clutch

I used Dynamat for my case due to fan noise. It is vibration damping material normally used in vehicles to lower the noise floor. I got 2 sheets for $15US at Best Buy. You can find the stuff at any car audio place though. I just put a sheet on each of the side panels, and half a sheet on the interior floor of the case. No more noise. ------------------ Regards, clutch

In regards to original topic: I dig the utility because I am lazy. In regards to the new and improved topic: Titanic is a movie about one of the worst ocean-going disasters of all time. To make money on this is shameful, but to make a ROMANCE out of it is just plain offensive. Besides, "Lost Highway" (David Lynch) is the best movie of all time... ------------------ Regards, clutch

Could the power supply be flaky? ------------------ Regards, clutch

Did you get the 4-in-1 drivers from Via for your motherboard? ------------------ Regards, clutch

I checked that out, and it seems like that USB port is used more for management rather than as a network access point. This looks as if it is similar to the serial port on other routers, which allow for management/access, but wont allow for a "true" connection for network traffic. It does state that you can connect a PC to it, and it will allow for network traffic through it, but it may require the use of drivers to be installed on the PC for proper use (and the modem wont have any idea what it is trying to do). Might want to email Linksys to see if that is a real option. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Did you try disconnecting the old 3GB drive anyway? I have had things work on one install, and then not work on another (this happened with connecting to my HP 722c on my NT Server from Win2K). JB has a pretty good point. It sounds like you are running in some sort of compatiblity mode that is give the >8GB size. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Just in case you wondered about all that crap on IRQ 9, this should shed some light on it. http://itresources.brainbuzz.com/tutoria...pn=Windows+2000 ------------------ Regards, clutch

One extra thing. With RoadRunner, the modem will act as the DHCP server, so you wont need to setup a PC to do it in suggestion 2. ------------------ Regards, clutch

I just got RoadRunner service (with a spiffy 3Com modem that looks like a shark fin) and I would like to know what are some good routers that I could use with it. I know that there are some broadband users out here, but I haven't used cable/xDSL routers before. I was checking out one from Linksys, but wanted to know what you guys have. ------------------ Regards, clutch

CrazyKillerMan: Yeah, I can see what you mean about using LRP. However, I didn't want the spend the money gathering a few more parts to build another machine just to handle routing. Especially since you can get a cable/xDSL router for less than a good hard drive these days. ------------------ Regards, clutch

You may have support for multiple IPs and your modem may be issuing multiple IPs via DHCP (or they are static). The router is used to share the same IP on the Internet with multiple PCs. Usually, you have to pay more for extra IPs, and you may have a cap at 3 available. Thus, the router is used. You would have needed a hub/switch in any case (either built-in to the router or as a separate unit) to support the PCs. ------------------ Regards, clutch

That's weird, I did it on a 30GB drive in my Dell XPS B733r at work. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Don't you need a computer for that? ------------------ Regards, clutch

Well, I don't believe that he fumbled a speech just once. In addition, Dan Quayle made a brilliant correction for "potato" where he told a little girl it was spelled "potatoe". That will live on forever. Besides, at least half of being a politician is being able to speak in public (regardless of who writes your speeches for you). I'm not saying that's how it should be since it would be nice if they could just DO the job, but when you interact with people in a professional manner, expect to be judged. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Morelight: To all: RoadRunner will be more than glad to hand out extra IPs (up to 3 I think), but they are NOT static. Now, by NOT, I don't mean that they are not ***igned but you seemed to keep the same one anyway due to extended leases ***ignments and renews. I mean NOT as in you get a HUGE change in IP (like from 24.94.13.5 to 24.94.26.110). Fortunately, I have a DDNS client to keep this straight. Just get the cheapie router and you will be A LOT happier. If you have a hub already, just get the one port unit and connect to your uplink from it. Not to mention, it uses NAT, which is a half-a$$ firewall anyway so you wont need to install/configure another firewall package. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Well, listening to him speak generally gives the impression that he's an idiot. He isn't a smooth speaker like Gore (smooth or "slick", you decide). I think that both parties have good platforms, but the people at the "head" of them aren't so hot. Several comedians are hoping that Bush does get elected since he will likely provide material for years to come. ------------------ Regards, clutch

The Linksys unit is a pretty good deal ($149 US after rebate at Bestbuy). It IS a cheap router as in it's quite limited in some aspects, but this thing works quite well. I got spoiled with my Eicon Diva LAN unit for ISDN, but I'll take the 240KB/s d/ls on this thing anyday over the lost features... ------------------ Regards, clutch

I just used a DOS boot floppy on one disk, and the BIOS flash util with image on another because they all wouldn't fit together. Never used the harddrive at any time. ------------------ Regards, clutch
