Best Bet is to check the manual that came with your motherboard, it will tell you what interface you have.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

Most DSL modems now will allow you to use both connections (usb+eth) But you will have different ip's for each line. In networking, 2 computers can never have the same address, there will be major confilicts if that happons.

Even if you added it to a "block" list, you would still be able to ping the site.

How is the desktop hooked up to the net? is it through the router that is coming of the cable modem or is it through the powerline?

Have you checked your hosts file? Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Win 98\ME = C:\WINDOWS Make sure there is nothing in there that is out of the ordinary. The onlything that SHOULD be there is this: 127.0.0.1 localhost Edit - Goto a dos prompt and type in "nslookup intel.com" - without quotes. What does it say?

Right click on the target icon next to the time and select shutdown anti-spyware. It then closes.

I setup a "mirror" also, the other ones were going too slow for my liking, if anyone needs the new version you can get it here : Http://dothelp.info/user/spybotsd14.exe also the new version of ad-aware (1.06) http://dothelp.info/user/aawsepersonal.exe

The site you linked to didnt use my whole download speed, it would never go above 3 meg. 2639.12 kbps Here are the results of my test from testmy.net : :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 6389 Kbps about 6.4 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB) Download Speed is:: 780 kB/s Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (server1) Test Time:: Mon May 30 01:44:23 EDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 114X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.31 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 144.6 % faster than the average for host (ptd.net) Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-DHLKZRNUG

Another FYI - There is no support for win98 anymore, its a "dead" os.

http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/ It will map your HD, the larger the picture the biger the file is on your HD. i use it to find out what files are taking up the most space on my system.

In the taskmanager, what program does it say is using the cpu?

Buckethead If you never heard anything from him...go listen now. here, i found a sample from his site...it is of poor quality, but you can make out some of it... ill try to find more. http://www.bucketheadland.com/museum/audio/lobotomy.mp3 http://www.bucketheadland.com/museum/audio/greasy.mp3

Run an extenstion cord from the neighbors house to yours to run the pc and all its compents for a month. then ask him how much his bill went up last month

Every website must have a DNS record so that other websites can find them, other wise people wouldnt be able able to find them by cisco.com

No, they are for cisco. you can use any dns server you want, but normaly you want to use the ones provided by your ISP becouse they would be the fastest. like for me, that dns server he listed (128.107.241.185) has a ping time of ~85ms, so it would take atleast 85 ms to lookup the address and then give it back to me, then i can load the website. in contrast, my dns server for my isp responds in in 2ms.

Router?

saw that coming mile away....

The air coming out of there isnt too cold unless you turn it upside down...then its frozen i do it with mine all the time to get the little stuff out

i just got a DS on monday, i love playing wario ware...but anyway, i'll probly get one in one or 2 months, that way ill atleast get what i can out of the DS before i get the psp....

Your ISP is 99.9% likely to be blocking port 80, not xp.

wrong, pings respond on port 7 on tcp or udp, not the port that you would have open. so just beouse he can be pinged doesnt mean that the right ports are open.

There are many, many reports of this all over, do a google on it and you wll see... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/roc...baby/ffnuts.gif http://dothelp.info/ff1.png http://dothelp.info/ff2.jpg even tho ie is built in, its not using that massive ammount of ram that ff does/can.

Firefox uses way to much memory for my likeing
