A couple curiosities: I've seen a few home/sb routers whose firewall will drop a TTL of not only 0, but 1 as well. Any thoughts on why this is? Does it make sense to drop even a TTL 0 at the home router level? The packet has already gone through the internets and is now on the cusp of your...

I had never used a packet analyzer before. However, it proved very helpful. Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm needing to compare what is actually transmitted in the MAC destination or MAC source octets/bytes of an Ethernet frame, against an expected value expressed in hexadecimal. The need for hexadecimal is part of a syntax I must use. My question is to the correctness of the following method...

...and we have a winner. It was the PSU. These things seem to fail more often than any other component. Rant, rant, rant. Anywho, thanks for the help. :)

Ordered a Corsair HX750. 7 year warranty and 80 PLUS Gold. Fingers crossed. If that's not it, I just might fix the whole thing with a hammer.

No spare video card either. Without the card, POST halts where it should at initializing the video interface. No multimeter or funny smells, nothing looks off. I tried green+black jumping the PSU with two case fans and an old hard drive. It didn't work, although it tried. I was uncertain...

I take it you dislike OCZ PSUs. Unfortunately I do not have another PSU to test with. The CPU connector is correctly inserted. Thanks.

Last night my computer started powering off on its own. I ended up pulling everything from the case. I reseated the CPU/heatsink. Removed all but one DIMM of RAM in slot 1. I ended up reinserting the graphics card(there is no onboard video, I wanted to see if POST would complete). The power...

Anyone have experience with NEC when it comes to warranties? The bottom right corner of my 20WMGX2 has a dozen or more gray pixels of varying brightnesses —so many in fact that at first I thought my monitor must have got dirty. I even thought maybe dust had got behind the panel, however all the...

i think i may have the answer, user reviews on newegg who have msi motherboards with the exact same problem as i have http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16817171024 just do a ctrl+f for msi, you will find 3 users with the exact same problem as i

so how is intel about handling returns? i'm already past the retailers return policy. do they have to get the old one before sending out the new one? is this going to take weeks?

i had already tried clearing the cmos, my motherboard has a little button to make this simpler, anywho, i tried it again and got the same result --no boot i reseated the heatsink/fan and again it would not boot, i even went as far as trying a different heatsink/fan, and still nothing i'm...

motherboard: msi p35 platinum (socket 775) cpu: intel e6750(sla9v) (socket 775) power supply: cooler master 750w i broke it down as far as i know possible, the motherboard is outside of the case on an anti-static surface, only the 24-pin board power, the 8-pin cpu power, the cpu fan, and the...

i stand corrected

too bad officemax jacked the price up $100, at least online

should i get one? be serious now and don't laugh:D i want the best possible control, precision, aiming i know they are hard to learn, but how do they compare with a good mouse? one observation is that one would never have to reset the physical position(when you have to lift the mouse up and...

anyone?

it seems that external links(say an http link received in an instant message or a link to a help page from some other program) will no longer launch my browser, nothing happens, it just stopped working i did check my file extensions, and htm/html are set to open with firefox i created a test...

@lnfeliz it's a tn a couple question about 16.2 vs. 16.7 million colors, is it that big of a deal, is it very noticeable? how good is the black level, perhaps someone can post a pattern

new versions of nero include *.img, if your version does not... try as remy21 suggested and simply change the extension to .iso if the original .img file is an image of an optical disc, then you should be okay

@ odoe i got somewhat excited when i started reading your thread, i too have a dell laptop running @ 1920x1200 --except mine is an inspiron 8500 15.4" from over 4 years back, 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen --what a bad decision that was:rolleyes: anyways, i also have dell quickset installed, the...

@ Maxx thx guy, i actually already have ie tab, hadn't thought about it though, so i checked and it does display the same as full blown i.e. @ arkamw and Verge thx for the suggestion, however it didn't work for me, the best thing i have found is to just set the fonts to "smallest" something...

reset of settings worked for images, however; text, buttons, etc., still display larger for some reason i occasionally need to use i.e. so i wanted it to work properly, also i have another app(yahoo music jukebox) installed that uses i.e. and the fonts are not displaying properly in it as well

thanks maxx:) yep that's checked, i've even went as far as uninstalling i.e.7 and reinstalling, same deal:confused:

like the title states, everything is being made very large in i.e. things i've tried; -turning off clear type in i.e. -checked to make sure font size was at medium and zoom at 100% although neither of these should make images larger, besides zoom check the linked image below, it's a comparison...

@Doliviss i had my dns in windows set to use the open dns servers, so those were good, however while using ipconfig /all i learned that when windows is set to automatically retrieve dns it gets them from the router(192.168.1.1), i was not making this connection in my mind, so thank you...

@YeOldeStonecat yes, in windows, if i set the ip to "obtain an ip address automatically" it works fine

i'm ignorant when it comes to networking, so bear with me... i have a pc running windows xp connected to a westell 327w dsl transceiver/router the router was using dhcp and i wanted a static ip for my pc, something i could easily remember and browse to over the network so i figured out how to...

DANG. i just found it, it was so obvious where to find these settings, someone should hand out some sort of interface award or something:rolleyes: thx YeOldeStonecat

my girlfriend forgot the admin name and/or password for her dsl modem/router after a reset -pushed in the little reset button on the back, we set a new admin name and password then we had to reactivate the dsl service and go through the whole installation process again, the username in the...

there is no configuration inside the router to disable net access, at least not that i can find invalid default route? sorry i don't follow, can you explain

i have two machines running windows xp pro they are both connected to a dsl modem/router combo(westell 327w) i want to be able to share files between the machines, but do not want one of them to have internet access it was my thinking that this would have to be done inside the routers...
