WRT54G + Speedtouch W'less pc card

Right, first of all : Hello!
I am a statisfied linksys customer and (untill recently) never had any problems with linksys products.
However,
I'm having strange problems asof lately.
Somehow i cant connect to router (Linksys WRT54G) wireless, but i can connect to other routers in my neighbourhood. (including Speedtouch, and Sitecom routers)
The wireless card in using is a Speedtouch 110 wireless PC card. Its one of those laptop cards.
I never had any problems connecting to my router untill i tried to enable the mac filtering. Whilst applying the changes to my router (using a wire) the "succes!" page timed out on me. No big deal, and i connected to my router again using a wire to see if the settings where set right. They werent. The mac address table was empty while i added the mac address of my Wireless network card. Oh well, poop happends so i just reset'ed my router. Hoping it would fix the problem. Well, it didnt. Okay, maybe i'm having a bad day! So i reseted the router using the "Reset to factory defaults" button. Hoping it would fix it.
But (otherwise i wouldnt make this post xD) it didnt. I can connect on certain occasions but most of the time i just cant connect. My wireless network manager does picks up the SSID signal but connecting to the router : no way.
Is this a hardware problem at my side? or did i seriously messed up the router.
Any questions or need more information? Just ask!
Regards,
-Brian

can you give more details, like the hardware version and firmware version of router.
also is it the issue only with mac filtering!... are you able to connect using other wireless security like WEP or WPA...

Will WRT54G work with an Air Card

Just wondered if anyone has tried to make the WRT54G work with an air card from one of the cell phone providers?

Not that model. Maybe wrt54g3g.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Need New Video Cards for 4 Displays

Hi,
I want to install 4 displays, with one being a 30". Will the Radeon 9200 PCI, and 9600 pro work for this?
I saw that 9600pro only boots in "safe mode" but that's the only AGP card I can find that will run the 30".
Are there any PCI cards with two DVI ports?
Thanks

Hi-
Wouldn't getting the 9600 and a 9200 be the most cost effective?
Need two 9200's and one 9600 to connect 4 DVI displays. At around $400, it would be the cheapest. The 9200, though, will have minimal graphics acceleration and no Core Image support. Quartz Extreme is also not supported, unless hacked. Either the hack, or the lack of CI or QE support may affect software performance negatively.
Depending on the distance from the source computer, a signal booster may be required. 5 meters is the maximum a DVI signal can travel, but lesser powered cards may have difficulty at 10 feet (or less). If a booster were needed, a 9600 and a splitter would be better.
Wouldn't the splitter just mirror the output?
The splitter mirrors the output of the primary display +on the splitter+, not necessarily the card.
When you say "better" what do you mean? I won't be doing much 3D stuff and no gaming.
The linked cards support Core Image, Quartz Extreme, 30" ACD, and have power enough to send clean DVI signal farther.
Plus I can't find it new which is how I would prefer to buy it.
The Flashed PC cards are new. Because of the fact that they have been installed in a machine to flash the Mac ROM to them, eBay rules require that the card be listed as used.
New card prices are scary. See prices here.
Slightly lower prices here.

HA for diskless cards

Hi I am using Suns CP1500 card which is a disk less processor card and has two ethernet interfaces hme0 and hme1. I have configured such that there is only one mac and one ip for both the interfaces so at any point only one of the interface is active(I want to use the setup for redundancy). For a similar situtuation for a work station I could monitor the link status by using $ndd -set /dev/hme instace 0 or 1 $ndd -get /dev/hme link_status $ifconfig hme 1 or 0 up depending on which link is up or down.
But on the CP 1500 card has its disk mounted on one of the servers(netra in our case). So when one of the link is down I cannot run the shell commands so I am unable make the other redunant interface active. I would like to know if there is any way by which I could moniter the link and use the other redundant inteface if the link is down with out the use of the shell commands. are there any products which are in the market or sun to suite my needs. Thanks in advance sastradhar

X200 with 3-1 Media Card Reader w/o modem available?

Hello
Is it possible to configure an x200 wtih the 3-1 Media Card Reader w/o Modem instead of the 5-1 Media Card Reader w/ Modem. Their is only one option for the x200 ( 5-1), however for the x200s the option for either one is available. So if call lenovo would I be able to get the 3-1 instead?
Note from Moderator: Added more descriptive subject.
Message Edited by nonny on 12-19-2008 08:14 PM

I am confused by this as well. I don't quite understand why it gives you the option of 3-1 without modem or 5-1 with modem. You would think the less capable card reader would go with the modem... The price was the same either way on the x200 so I just did 5-1 with modem. Still a bit unclear on Lenovo's part if you ask me.

Photoshop CS6 running extremely slow after graphics card switch

My old graphics card died (a evga 8800 Ultra Superclocked 756MB 384 bit), so I replaced it with a (XFX HD-455X-ZAFR Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 ). I knew this was a less capable card but from reading other forums it seemed that GPU performance was not as big of an issue in Photoshop and the 4550 was a supported card by Photoshop. However, I was previously able to batch open about 15 (ish) photos at a time to work on in Photoshop. Now if I open more than 1 everything is VERY slow and even that 1 doesn't open as fast. Bigger photos appear blurry (but when I zoom in they are not) many filters are slower. Very annoying. Nothing else has changed on my computer, just the graphics card. Here are my specs (I know I need more RAM and have been considering an upgrade there but am not sure if I need to ditch my current video card as well)
Asustek p5e3 motherboard
Core 2 extreme qx9650 (quad core at 3.0 ghz)
4 GB of DDR3 1333mhz ram
(3) 500 GB 7200RPM hard drives
Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2
500 Watt Power Supply

I don't mean to be critical, but why would you upgrade to an outdated card like the 4550? The 4000-series isn't even listed under the cards Photoshop is tested with any more.
Tested video cards for Photoshop CC and CC 2014
That said, a problem that can happen with a video card switch is that drivers get left in the system from the old one.
Maybe it would be a good start in diagnosing this for you go to into the Help - System Info menu, copy the data in the whole first section, and post it here.

Smart Card login screen authentication

Apple don't seem to have updated their documentation on this subject since way back in the Mac OS X Tiger days!
I would like to have a setup where a user can walk up to a Mac (which is at the login screen), wave an RFID card over a reader connected to that Mac and be able to then login to that Mac. If it is necessary for a PIN/Password to also be entered that might be acceptable. Similarly if the screensaver activates during their login session, waving their RFID card again over the reader should unlock the screensaver.
An alternative scenerio would be a Mac with a guest login account enabled, and then wanting to use the same card reader to authenticate when requested to a proxy server in order to gain network access.
The cards to make it clear would be RFID based, not magstripe or chip-and-pin. There are suitable USB readers like this one

Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services cards types & queue values

Hello,
There is different types for the Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services cards.
( More expensive cards with high queue values and less expensive cards with
low queue values.)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps368/data_sheet_c78-549419.html
Hardware queues
ES Plus XT 40G line cards

Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS)
Low queue cards have got only 4 queues per physical port. High queue cards
have got minimum 64.000 queue. This is very huge difference. In what kind
of scenario do we have to use the High queue cards ? Could you give some
examples please ? Kind Regards.

HI Burak,
Each time you configure a class with bandwidth allocation or shaping,.. a queue will be used so if you use such card to provide QoS for a lot of subscribers sharing the same interface, you will need a lot of them !!

Want to purchase a new graphics card

I would like to purchase a new graphics card for my G5 to work with Aperture. Not sure which cards will work with my machine.

Curious... Aperture is for photos, still images
right? That is not graphics intense on a machine so
spending outrageous $$ on a high end ATI card would
be crazy. nVidia and ATI have nice AGP 8X cards for
under $200... personally, I would look for the best
vram (GDDR3 is the latest, greatest and fastest) and
go no less than 256Mbs... higher means more $$. You
unfortunately cannot go for PCI-Express, that's
faster than AGP. Good Luck...
Generally, still image work is not very taxing on a video card. With Aperture, it's a different story. Aperture relies heavily on CoreImage which offloads much of the processing onto the video card. So, in this case, a high end ATi card does make sense. If the OP were asking about Adobe's Photoshop or Lightroom, I would agree that the less expensive cards would be a better choice.

2 different nvidia cards raytracing and rendering

I currently have a GTX 950. I know this is not supported for raytraceing.
I have an additional slot for a PCI express card and I want to put in another less expensive card that is supported for raytracing both in the ram preview and rendering (if thats possible) . The second card would not be hooked up to any monitor, it would only be used to facilitate the raytracing aspect. Is this possible to do with after effects?
Thanks!

I agree with Mylenium. If you're a CC subscriber, there is very little need for the ray-traced renderer since you have C4D included with AE ( details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects )
If you're not a CC subscriber, you would still be spending better money getting Element 3d (or ShapeShifter or Freeform Pro) than getting a GPU for accelerating the ray-traced renderer.

Looking For PCI ESATA Card For G5

it will be running in both leopard and tiger
can anyone recommend one and where to buy?
i bought a rocstor 2ue drive and currently using it usb mode which is very slow.
thank you

since you don't say dual core G5 i assume you will need a PCI-X card (i'm pretty sure only dual core G5 use PCI-Express).
the firmTek is a nice card and has the ability to boot from attached drives. it does have the disadvantage of only supporting SATA I i.e. 1.5Gbs and is on the expensive side (approaching $200), where as many of the cheaper cards (~$80-90) almost all use Silicon Image chipset support SATA II i.e. 3Gbps but don't have ability to boot from attached drives..
so it kind of depends on your needs.. if you don't need to boot from the attached drives you can get a less expensive card, with faster SATA II capabilities for $80-90.
just do a google search for pci-x esata card... owc is a good place to start as well.. i can confirm that multi-interface externals can be a bad choice as well... i got slower than USB 2 speeds from a Seagate Free agent triple interface drive and got transfer speeds faster than my internal drive by taking same drive out of the Seagate enclosure and putting it into an OWC esata only enclosure (dual drive enclosure for $67).. i have a norco, 4 port, pci-x estat card.

Need Audio Card Suggestions - Logitech z5500

Hi. I was using an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 to drive my Logitech z5500 speaker system... until 10.4.10 made the driver obsolete. I changed to the M-Audio delta 2496 midi card, only to discover same driver problems: kernel panics and, much less concerning, hard drive can't go to "sleep". At the moment I have no sound card and, consequently, cannot drive the speaker system.
Any suggestions for a card for my setup?
Thanks,
Paul

<$250 or less>
Any card in that price range runpmc, won't work on Mac's,
Sorry!
Surprise it a Sound-card would even be in that price range.
Unless its E-bay, even then i would'nt touch it,
with a very long stick.

R7770 / Win XP pro driver issue - directx not supported help please!

Hi guys sorry to bother you, and for such a long question.
I've just purchased a brand new MSI branded AMD radeon r7770 to replace my nvidia 8800gt graphics card which finally bit the dust last week.
Despite uninstalling the old nVidia drivers, trying the ones that came with the card and downloading and installing the very latest versions from both the AMD and MSI sites, I still cannot get directx to work. At first glance, the drivers look to be installed OK, (the Catalyst Control Center starts up etc) but none of my games run, and the desktop refresh is incredibly slow. KSP's crash log helpfully states that it cannot find the device driver. When I run Dxdiag.exe all the directx diagnostic tags are greyed out and the info box states that the card does not support directx.
The system is pretty ancient but should still be up to the task as it was a well speced gaming PC in its day:
Mboard: Asus P5K3 Deluxe (intel P35 chipset)
CPU: Intel core2duo Q6600 (quad-core)
mem: 4 gig Corsair ddr3 mem.
PSW: 600W
OS: Win XP pro SP3
I'm aware that this is an old PCI-E 1.0 board and the card is designed around PCI-E 3.0, but the computer boots up and starts Windows just fine. Both the Bios and Windows detect the R7770 correctly. (I'd have thought if this was an issue - it wouldn't go past POST at all and begin beeping like crazy!)
To muddy the waters still further, as a experiment, I installed an old radeon card for test (a crappy Sapphire hd 2600 pro PCI-E version), which is about the same age as the rest of the system.
I couldn't find the drivers disk initally, so downloaded the relevant ones from Sapphire and AMD. Got EXACTLY the same problem as above: it looks as the drivers have installed but no Directx support (which is daft as I used to use that card games until I could afford to replace it with the 8800)
I tried everything I could think of for hours (including disabling driver signing security, stopping anti-virus software, trolling through the windows/ inf, System32 and System dirctories to weed out anything ATI - you name it) then miraculously found the old drivers for the HD 2600. Installed them with no probem at all - everything worked just as it should!
So, I looks to me like the XP drivers on the web are now garbage. Anyone else have similar problems or know of a workaround?
I'm not exactly rich so can't afford Win 7 or the dreaded Win 8 (which I loath) or a new PC, which is why i'm soldering on with this dinosaur!
The only thing I haven't done is splat Windows and do a clean install, do you think that'll help? If so why did the old radeon drivers work (win has been cleanly re-installed many a time since I last used that card, so there was no legacy junk lurcking in the windows diectory or it's registry)
Do you think I'd have better luck with NVidia? If so could you kindly recommend an alternative from them? I know an R7770 is a bit OTT for such an old system, but they are dirt cheap at the mo and not much more expensive than much less powerful cards.
Anyone have any thoughts about UBuntu? If it is a driver issue or there is no workaround, I may need to consider this route. Trouble is none of my legacy games will run on Linux and i'm not sure virtualization is available for my mboard.
Anyways, thanks for your time and for any suggestions you might make
Regards
Mike

Hi Flex, thanks for the quick reply and for the advice.
In the end i got it going by changing the boot.ini settings.
They were initially set with the /3GB /fastdetect switch to force the WinXp kernal to run in 1GB, and not take up 2GB as is it's default.
It was set that way to stop a 32bit game (KSP) crashing every 10 minutes or so, through lack of addressable memory.
All I did was simply set the boot.ini back to its default and directx sprung to life. I reset it back to 3GB to make sure it wasn't a fluke and as soon as I did, it killed directx again.
Maybe its a driver issue afterall - probably lack of proper XP support by AMD (This dosen't happen with the old- - 2008 vintage - version 4 ATI radeon drivers.) or perhaps its because the card has twice the memory over my old cards and therefore needs to access a higher portion of I/O allocation than is available in 32bit WinXP.
Its all a bit ironic really as i'm finding the R7770 runs like crap under dirx9 - i'm getting about 30% the frame rate of my old Nvida 8800GT and, as I can't use the 3GB switch anymore, it crashes every 5 mins or whenever I play any resource intensive game.
As the crashes are caused by lack of available address spaces under 32 bit systems, I've bitten the bullet and got 64bit Ubuntu. Got this working in the wee small hours last night - including the R7770 using the AMD catalyst drivers for Linux. Hopefully that will sort things out (and gimmie an excuse to learn a proper OS!)
Wish me luck i can see another "steep learning curve" on the horizon!
Cheers
Mike

DAW - advice for setting up my new DAW?

Hi,
I intend to get my own DAW/general purpose computer in the next few months and was hoping to run my plan by y'all for advice. I intend to use it half for music recording, and also as a normal computer.
I plan to have a high end graphics card (dual dvi) for games etc, will run a 23" widescreen lcd (pref apple on pc) or bigger maybe upgrading to dual monitors later. I am running a HD tv card which needs some good headroom when recording. I only play far cry and need for speed when it comes to games etc so won't have a million games installed.
I have a about 50 gig of music mp3's and wmas and general stuff, so need lots of storage space. I have about 10gig of AA session files and that will grow so im thinking 30-40 gig min.
For recording/mixing, i have usually 10 trax minimum with lots of real time, sometimes locked fx, i do a lot of processing/wave editing and can have up to 10minute tracks up to 24 etc so i need some juice to power it all. running xp pro sp2.
Can someone explain raid vs ide, im told i can raid 2 similiar drives, but how much better is it, and are there draw backs? can i raid 2 x 15000rpm drives together(2 x 20 or 2 x 40 gig) as my dedicated AA session files space or is that just overkill, i plan to have maybe 2 x 250 gig 7200 or 10 000 drives raided as a dedicated digital vcr for HD tv recording, a small system drive 20-40gig just for installed stuff, another 80-250 gig for normal storage. Any ideas for best way to configure this stuff? minimum im thinking is sep small sys drive, sep AA drive/raided or not, sep bigass drive for TV recording, and sep general storage drive so thats minimum 4 or more.
Wireless keyboard (ultra flat touch keys like on bank atm's sort super silent DO THESE EXIST YET IF SO PLEASE TELL ME WHERE AND WHAT CALLED?)
and wireless optical mouse with extra side buttons and fully functional
Can y'all fill me in on scsi, im told the 14k rpm drives need a scsi
controller or osmething? tell me about this stuff please
Also, 64bit cpus? what the hell does that mean
I'm thinking the fastest intel cpu wht is it 3 gig these days with cache, or does anyone know how much dual cpu will cost (and what needs to go with it) motherboard with 800fsb and 8x agp that can take like 1-2 gig of ram (what sort is fastest?), 8 x agp graphics card that is very high end for 1080i output for high definition tv, and games.
Obviously dvd+rw/cd+rw drive.
Need advise on DAW case, ultra sound and heat proof as i might sleep in the same room and im sick of noisy computers, and i might need a big load of space with all the hdd's depending on what i get, will have a usb2. pci card no doubt and tv card etc
Wondering bout the new audigy 2 zn platinum pro thing Is this any good compared to the normal audigy 2? it says with firewire i can have 7 stereo inputs, is that really true at once, do i need extra external hardware like a mixer to do that, and does AA support that at all?
I have a decent pair of phones i will use for a while until i get studio monitors so don't worry about them for now, thats later.
I hope to spend only about 3-6 grand Australian pref no more, so any suggestions of other things to add or not to bother with etc, revisions?

Don't clutter a daw with too much GP stuff, office software
installations and antivirus software should generally not be installed
on a daw, and a gp computer can generally not be without either.
Generally, mind you, generally is generally a lot less general with the
more capable hardware, but a lean daw is a happy daw. Fortunately a
p2-300 with 192 megs of ram and a modern harddisk is still a lot of GP
officing computer, and such machines are not costly on the second hand
market.

There may be valid reasons for doing that, if so then you could be well
off having multiple OS installations on it, one for GP use and one for
Audio use and making it a multibooter. It however my experience that a
multibooter always ends up being booted in the wrong OS ..... O;-)
> I plan to have a high end graphics card (dual dvi) for games etc,
A dual head card is strongly recommended. Matrox has nice cards that do
not need to have a fan on them and that do not require the utmost
hardware speed. You do not WANT to have the ultra fastest graphics card
on a daw because you need to avoid that the graphics cards bus bandwidth
requirements obstruct other, more vital chores. Less fast cards that do
not require a fan allows for a more quiet system.
> will run a 23" widescreen lcd (pref apple on pc) or bigger
> maybe upgrading to dual monitors later.
It may be that you can get dual smaller lcd's for the same budget as one
23", and it may be of more use, everybody is on some kind of a budget,
and you also need to have money over for audio hardware. Good mics and
good mic pre's do more for the quality of your sound than a larger
screen.

Hmmm ...... select the recording options wisely, you come across as
chasing specs rather than as being aware of just what specs you actually
need.

One never knows what the future holds, but it should be possible to
avoid having too many games installed at any one time.

It is too costly pr. gigabyte to buy anything smaller than 120 GB, and
the 120 GB drives of today are all comfortably fast. You should at least
have two physical drives for Audition so as to be able to avoid
simultaneous reads and writes on the same drive, three physical drives
are imo preferable.

I think that your setup is one that would benefit of having three
physical drives to prevent having temp files on the drive that contains
the "static" audio files.
> can someone explain raid vs ide, im told i can raid
> 2 similiar drives, but how much better is it,
Depends, it is not faster than a single drive where it is fastest, but
raid 0 (simple stripe set) is less likely to show performance reduction
due to file fragmentation. A stripe set still counts as "one physical
drive", and if you want to have only two drives in it you are better off
not having them striped.
> and are there draw backs?
You can not remove just one harddisk and move it to another machine. If
one harddisk fails, then all is lost, at least if you run a simple
stripe set. The probability math is tolerable with only two disks in a
stripe set, but it takes less of an error to loose all. All things
considered you need to have a problem to solve by striping prior to
doing it, and distributing multitrack files over several physcial drives
is also a way to increase playback performance if there is a problem to
solve.
> can i raid 2 x 15000 rpm drives together(2 x 20 or 2 x 40 gig)
> as my dedicated AA session files space or is that just overkill,
That would be a silly set up, three 5400 or 7200 rpm 120 GB drives is a
possibly less costly way to get same or better performance, assuming
wise deployment. You will always end up having some copying of files
from one physical drive to another, and consequently it is very wise to
have identical drives so that the faster need not wait for the slower.
> I plan to have maybe 2 x 250 gig 7200 or 10 000 drives raided
> as a dedicated digital vcr for HD tv recording,
I wouldn't raid them, but tv recording is a very fast way of making
large drives appear small and I don't really know what the bandwidth
requirement is for recordign hdtv.
> a small system drive 20-40gig just for installed stuff,
No, you will be wasting a valuable drive bay on a drive that will be a
bottleneck, three drives is a good idea, but preferably identical or at
least similar. Put that old drive in a USB 2.0 box and use it for
project backup instead.
> another 80-250 gig for normal storage.
Yes, you may need storage space when you want to do TV recording, so 750
GB unformatted is not unreasonable.

Three 200 GB drives will probably be the optimally cost efficient setup.

A wireless keyboard is called too slow and too sloppy ...

But a wireless mouse can be an ergonomic advantage, agreed.

Too costly.

Yes, and thus it gets to be about a very different and very costly mobo.
You do not want a disk controller on the PCI bus on a DAW.

Currently nothing of relevance considering the current software. What it
means is that the memory allocation space can be 64 terabytes rather
than 4 GB, and that is rapidly getting to be of importance for database
servers and terminal servers.

It is unknown to me whether Audition actually will benefit from multiple
CPU's, generally the required CPU versions (XEON) and mobo's are too
costly to make sense.

Asus P5P800 is modestly priced. I think your specs are extreme and that
your quests are of the "it would be nice to be able to" type. Life is
not about using as much money on chasing specs as possible, but rather
about getting good results. To do that, you also need to have resources
to get some reasonable audio equipment. Leave all the video concerns out
of it, I have understood them to be about leasure, and live with
recording the number of pixels that is possible with a good DAW.
I suggest this also because it may be problematic to try to make a
multitrack audio recording simultanously on the machine that records the
video in case "both combined" is the productivity quest. Just one reason
for not thinking that hdtv is very important on the machine is that it
is not very likely that you actually record hdtv with a camera.

In the audio context that is relevant here something Midiman is "more
like it" - example product, not the only possible choice. See also
http://www.pcavtech.com, Arny Krügers very interesting web site and a
good place to start learning more about sound cards. A budget card that
it appears will meet your demands is the Midiman 1010LT or similar model
from other manufacturer.
