Please please please for the love of all that is just and right, make a version that is non-carbonated. Not being able to drink 90% of the energy drinks out there makes it hard to stay competitve when the wee hours of the LAN roll around. :D

uhmmm.... the term "broadband" has nothing to do with the actual speeds of connections, but the transmission method being used. Any transmission of data over multiple frequencies is broadband (DSL is 20hz-20khz for most sync modes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband To put it in...

It bums me out that Stars! Supernova never makes the list.

Yeah that sounds network-side to me. Probably transient noise on the line. If they get good results at the NID make sure they do a home run for ya.

Try running some speed tests from your ISPs speedtest page -or toast if they don't have one - from the computer when you are noticing the problem. Then, boot into safe mode with networking and run the same tests. If you get different results, it's most likely a software issue. If your results...

Did you try the speedtests as suggested above? Can you post the results? Try running 5 in a row in quick succession at the 2 different time periods; It is hard to make a firm diagnosis without more information.

The last place I worked for used winproxy. If you have windows servers it's a decent option for the price.

very good suggestion. That's what I would try next.

wow I envy how proactive your company is with technology. The one I'm working for probably won't approve vista for use until 2008-9, and even then I doubt IT will get it that much earlier. Of course, I say this as I'm typing on my work PC which is running Vista Beta Build 5472 :eek: we...

Do you absolutly need to reformat? Why not do an inplace repair instead?

hmm ok, lets try checking the hosts file for anything suspicious. on the two PCs that cannot comunicate: goto C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc (if windows is installed on C, that is) open up the hosts file in notepad and paste everything in the file into a code box for us. Also, I'd...

if nothing is VLANed then they should all be talking to each other, so no need to set one up. what do the trace routes look like to 192.168.1.1 from the other PCs? Are you using SIP or DHCP? If SIP, are all the subnets identical(255.255.255.0)? If you swap the ports for 192.168.1.1 and...

/leftfield theory Certain code loads (the most recent ones) of the netopia 3347NWG comes preconfigured with a different VLAN for wireless and wired connections. If you did a factory reset (or one happened by fluke) this could be why you're not able to access certain nodes from certain other...

I can't believe I forgot that one, I used to grab those all the time. Back in the day when apple had the only 23" monitor it was one of the few places to find 1920x1200 desktops. Adding that now, thanks! go here: http://exoteric.roach.org/terms.php he added that in awhile ago to...

sweet, adding that one now, thanks! Tabular view will be done tomorrow, at least enough to put up a few rows and get some feedback to see if you guys like it better or not.
