  1. i know ian. I'm not sure what the internet speed was at my cousins.. besides the obvious "turtle"

     

    Mom has 6mbit cable which runs circles around DSL.

     

    I was only getting between 1 and 24mbit to my cousin's router that's why I mentioned the speeds here at mom's for comparison.. I changed nothing on my computer except the router I was connected to.

  2. running a little slower tonight.. only 216mbit/s!

     

    I'm not sure if it's the router, or maybe this interface being that it's intended for high speed operation, just doesn't like doing 802.11g, or what..but I set mom up with the same wireless adapter the other day and her computer loves it too. I'm not using the NetGear software tho.. her machine is Windows 7, that was 'fun' trying to get that interface to work with 7... got it in the end tho.. and I'm of course on XP Pro sp3.

     

    is it possible the encryption method would make a difference? IIRC, that 2wire only supported WEP. I'm using WPA with mom's router.

  3. Better idea. Disconnect thge TV cablke at the carb. Go under and remove the 10mm bolt holding the cable to the housing. It is only connected to trans by a Z shaped piece of wire that is the linkage. Replace the sealing cup and reasemble.

     

    why on EARTH would he want to do it the RIGHT way??? lol

  4. MonteFox... drain all the transmission fluid, remove the pan, remove the cable.

     

    CLEAN REALLY REALLLLY well.. spray brake cleaner works well here.

    let it dry well.

     

    goop it up with RTV, install the cable. LET IT DRY!! 24 hours minimum..

    then reinstall the pan, refill with fluid, leak fixed.

    I've dealt with difficult dipstick seals this way b4.

  5. yeah my cable company in michigan was like that. When I switched from their cable modem to my own I had to call them and give them the new mac address.. thankfully their system doesn't give a cr@p whats behind the modem.

    I used a combination 4 port 100mbit switch/router at first.. then changed it to a wireless router when I got my laptop wink

    I've had good luck with my Linksys stuff at home.. I'm using a NetGear wireless adapter here and it sucks.. but then agian, so do the 2wire routers that I'm trying to connect to smile

  6. Ha, next time I'll read the whole thread before replying.

     

    i know.. for once we don't have to give the standard lecture about backing up your data smile
