Not getting gigabit speeds when I should be...

My setup is like this. On the first floor, I have my DSL modem and my Airport Extreme. I have 2 computers hooked up, one with a gigabit card and the other with an older 10/100 card. I also have a piece of Cat6 cable running through the wall to the upstairs where it plugs into a netgear gigabit switch. This then feeds my MacBook, printer and AppleTV.
The problem is that I get gigabit speeds between devices connected to the netgear, and I get gigabit speeds directly off the Airport Extreme, but I'm only getting 100Mbps from the cable that comes upstairs. The cable is less than 50ft.
I wired the cable myself, so I'm not ruling out error on my part, however I've made other cables from the same spool of Cat6 and using the same RJ45 connectors and get gigabit speeds. Does anyone have any ideas?

I would not waste time trying to conform to Category 6. Until 10 Gb/s devices become commonplace I'm not going to think about it, and then you'll need 6a anyway. Category 5e is sufficient for Gigabit.
The TIA specification is hundreds of pages long and the links I had no longer work. For most do-it-yourself purposes a few key items to watch out for are:
No cheap cables. Proper cable will be marked tested to 350 MHz. Solid cable is better for long lengths, stranded is better for shorter lengths. Use shielded cable in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
Use the proper plugs and jacks rated for Category 5e. There are differences between plugs for stranded vs. solid cable and they're not interchangeable.
No more than 1/2" of untwisted cable. Fabricating ends that conform to this limitation is tedious.
Minimum 5 inch bend radius. Too small a radius will cause crosstalk.
Obviously all eight conductors must be intact for Gigabit. Pins 4,5,7, and 8 are not used for 100 Base-T. If one or more aren't properly terminated your connection will work but its speed will revert to 100 Mb/s.

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!

go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem clean charging port again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11. I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2. Then when you click on it the next error message says: PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI. Any ideas?

Error "enter a numeric value" I am not getting this error when i directly

We are using BAPI "BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE". I am using an excel file for input. I am getting errors against Standard Values and Unit of measure of Standard Values while running the BAPI through an ABAP program.
The errors are:
1. enter a numeric value
2. Enter a unit of dimension time for standard value
I am not getting this error when i directly run BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE through SE37.
Kindly help

Hi, I had the same problem. Solution for me:
OPERATION-ACTIVITY = <T>-ACTIVITY. " activity for example "5" ---> problem error "Enter a numeric value"
OPERATION-ACTIVITY = <T>-ACTIVITY. " activity for example "0005" ---> no problem --> include leading 0
so I chanded <t>-activity field type to N(4) and no problem...
Bye, B.

Im not getting any sound when i select a track and put it in the arrange area

Im new to pro logic,, when i select a track and put it in the arrange area,, im not getting any sound when it plays.. I can hear it play in the list of samples, but not when its in the arrange area,,, help meeeeee

Are you putting the file on an instrument channel rather than an audio channel? That's one possibility. The track could be muted is another.

Beer,
is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
because i am facing the below issue in my car.
the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

I mean "product instance registration" and "data source configuration"
You can find it in the installation doc

Not getting the speeds that I am paying for!

Hi,
I've been on BT infinity option 2 for a couple of years now, and recently (A couple of months back) I started a new contract and upgraded my BT Hub (3) to BT Hub (5) and I recently noticed that I have been receiving shockingly slow internet compared to what I am paying for: I am currently getting around about 20-30 mb down and 5-9 up (according to bt speed checker and speedtest.net) when I should be recieving 70-80 mb down and 19-20 up. I called BT up and they said they'll send an engineer, but he didn't come and I really can not be bothered to call again, because this isn't the first time their engineers skipped the appointment. I still have faith in BT over Virgin and other providers. Does anybody know a way I can fix this?
