There are 8 BITS in a BYTE. Therefore, if your home network is running at 10mbps, that is 10 MegaBITS. When you are transferring files, internet explorer and just about every other program in the world use BYTES to measure speeds. This is why you see the 700KB/s, that is 700 kiloBYTES. To...

What is the exact model number of that particular LCD please?

While you are correct on the television refresh rates, you seem to be a bit off base on LCD's. There are maybe 2 or 3 models right now that come close to the 60hz refresh rates. However, besides these few BRAND new models, LCD's dont even come close to 60Hz and I am betting this includes his...

I am going to have to go with blinden. Unless you are using a top of the line LCD, they just arent good enough for gaming. The reason being is that LCD's cant refresh the pixels fast enough, so thats why you get the blurryness. Many will try to argue this point, but they argue it from a...

Routers, because of their nature, are firewalls. Millions of people use todays routers without much hassle. 99% of the problems that people have with their routers are because the people dont know what they are doing and dont care to learn, they just ***** about it. Any router targeted to...

Router works at the packet level, gateway works on the network level. In essence, a router is a gateway on steroids. Someone correct me if I am wrong please.

Ok, before, I used to be able to see an actuall preview of what the bookmarked website looked like in a thumbnail. Now, all I see is the internet explorer bookmark icon except that its bigger in thumbnail view. The internet explorer bookmark icon is the blue "e" with the white page in the...

Hey guys, For some reason, my favorites are not showing up how they normally would under thumbnail view. Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks, Pete

LOL yoyo, I never would have thought to ask that. I guess you need to start with the basics.

I have 333 icons that I have collected so far and I have them all in one folder on a partition seperate from my Windows XP installation. The question is: Will having all the icons in one folder on a seperate partition negatively affect my performance? If so, what is the best way to go about...

Switches are also faster since there will be less collisions, most good switches will not broadcast the packets to the entire network, rather it will pass it on to the right node, but that only works with TCP/IP as far as I know. I would go with the switch and use TCP/IP instead of netbeui...

Go to one computer and use the ip address 192.168.0.1 and go to the other computer and put the ip address 192.168.0.2. Use 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask on both of the computers. Also, you need to make sure that you have file and printer sharing added into the Win98 machines networking...

I think I had a problem like this years ago. Try getting through to the AOL Tech Support people via the chat room, I have never waited more than 5 minutes to talk to someone and they solved my problem on both occasions.

You are downloading crap from other people, in most cases you are downloading illegally, no matter what file sharing network you use, there will be virii, but only from the files you download from others. The ORIGINAL Kazaa from www.kazaa.com contains spyware, not virii. The Kazaalite from...
