Which company do you think makes the best laptops?

well, heres how i have it: wep 128 bit, mac filtering, dhcp is ON (dont ask, i find it simpler), ssid off at this very moment: wireless [disabled] in the future: ill see what dd-wrt has in stock. i might even just get rid of the palm pilot encription and stick with wpa.

try usnig emphpod or yamipod. there are many programs out there. those two are free. if you want to pay a small fee, you can buy anapod.

@ gamehead. i cant be so sure, iv actualy used someone elses wifi network in my area, and hes across the street. @ rssfed23. i will have some sensitive data being transfered over my network. all my parents business data is run and stored on a computer accessible by network. i would rather have the high wpa security and not have any of this compromised. knowing gamehead200, he will be sitting on my front porch trying to crack it. @RogueSpear: i currently have a gateway router while dials out to the internet and manages my port forwards. i have added a wrt-54g to act as an access point. it will be running using wpa as an extension to my current network. i will possibly add a really cheap (i mean 20$ or less) router which will create a 2nd network, running on a different ip range and subnet, using wep, no access to shares or any data on the original network except the internet connection. on another note, someone told me that in the next version of dd-wrt (which i have already installed on my wrt-54g) that we will be ble to create 2 seperate networks with different parameters. hopefully they'll do that.

i have run into a wpa/wep network security trap. i will soon (ok, im talking 6 months) have 2 wireless devices, one that runs only wep security, and one that will run wpa becuase i want it too. i have the delema of making myself vulnerable to have the wep device work, or have the high security i want. at the moment i have one wireless wrt54g router. the wep device only needs access the internet, nothing else. here is my plan, tell me if it works. i will set up my current router with wpa, as an access point to my current network. it will use wpa with a 128bit key, random digits, ect. in addition to this, on another channel with a different ssid (nothing that will give away the security), using 128bit wep encription and mac filtering. the wep router will be unable to connect to any 192.168.1.* address, and it will use the 192.168.2.* range. if i set the second router to use the connecting dsl router as a gateway, the internet should work, and no access to any files/shares/services ect. i want to make sure that all security holes are closed up (besides the fact that wep is insecure), causing minimal possible damages to my own personal data. if there is anything wrong with my plan or if its confusing (yea, gotta work on my english lol), post you ideas and we'll figure everything out together.

did you check the apple support forums? you could also send it in for a repair as the video isn't a year old so you still have a waranty. i would check the apple support forums, they are VERY helpful.

that high pitched noise is just the hard drive spinning. its in all the ipods with large storage capacities (ie mini, and regular ipods)

LOL, should be a movie

hum, did you possibly forward the msn ports to a single computer? also try turning on upnp and try to send something. msn opens ports with upnp, so if its a router port problem we will find out.

i currently use musicmobs.com for my music, it's mainly for itunes though.

i just need the snow tires

lol, that was hilarious

i know, i got a 3 month warranty, with a nice bag. im not getting one now anyways, but either way i want to buy top of the line lol. meh, ill see in 6 months.

i have the exact same router and dont have a single problem with it. havent had any problems with any of the applications and iv had it for 2-3 years. could you have a firewall on your computer thats blocking those programs from openning ports?

i know that. but i dont think he does. even if theres a new model comming out, i dont want to pay 2000$ and get a lot less then what im getting now because of the sale. ugghhhhh, people who think they understand technology but dont p*** me off lol

well, id like to, but my dad thinks prices will drop. now that i read this, it looks like laptops will not have many upgrades these days.... hum... ill talk to him

lol, sweet. this must work like a charm. unless the spam isn't in either of their filters. great work

next 6 months, nothing farther. im not worried about speed too or videocards. i dont need or want better then what i have.

ok, i have a laptop in mind i want to buy. there is currently a 650$ cdn rebate on it, which i would like to use before the 19th. im just wondering if the prices will go down in 6 months, or a new technology will come out. Dell Inspiron 9300 Genuine Windows® XP Professional (English) (dont want vista) Intel® Pentium® M Processor 750 (1.86 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB) 17 inch Wide Screen XGA+ Display 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz 2 Dimm 100GB Hard Drive 256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800 8x CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability (not interested in hd-dvd) intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless what technology can i expect in the next 6 months, and what kind of changes in prices? also, im not into getting the lastest top of the line new technology (hd-dvd is an example, cuz ill never use it) thanks everyone

lol, nice. i thought i saw a bit of bird seed on my webpages.

i personally haven't heard of this. if your concerned, just turn your webcam so it faces the wall when your not using it. also, i most cams are unable to be used with more then one application, so if you have it running, it shouldn't be able to start in another program

ouch, that sucks. iv had someone use my script idea and post it as their own. *cough* gamehead *cough* he eventualy gave me credit lol

lol XPerties, that must be all you run on your servers id put linux on my server but its also used by the rest of the people living here, so i have to wait

LOL, he did change it. while i turned the page it changed lol. iv seen this before. poor guy.

yea, so does d-link. what he needs is software that opens the ports on demand. id like that too lol
