Hard Drive Failing?

Hi Guys, I'm having problems with a computer and I'm trying to determine if the hard drive is failing. I ran WD's diagnostic utilities (quick and full scans) and the test came back without any errors, yet I'm still having problems that seem like they could be hard drive related. These are...

New Computer Won't POST

UPDATE: It turns out my actual problem was having the RESET_SW header setup backwards. I've never heard of that before. When I setup everything back in the case again, it quit booting again unhooked the LED/switch headers and narrowed it down to my RESET_SW header being backwards.

College Paper

Hi Guys, I am doing a college report on the iPod. A requirement of this report is that we interview someone. It'd be awesome to interview someone on the Apple iPod team, just asking them 5-10 general questions on the success of the iPod. Is this something that sounds feasible, or am I...

super cantenna?

Thanks for the replies. It looks like I need an AP since I can't use an anntenna with MIMO. I saw a tutorial on how to install an external antenna on the router I have, but this would remove the MIMO features? I have a brother that lives across the street from me. Would it work to setup...

super cantenna?

Thanks for the replies, guys. You have to understand that some of this is sounding a bit greek to me and might need some more explaining. With the current hardware I have, what can I do to help the signal? What do you mean by this? Thanks, Andrew

super cantenna?

So a cantenna would help? I was told by someone at Belkin that it would not extend the range because of the MIMO technology.

super cantenna?

I have bought a Belkin Wifi Router w/ MIMO recently so I can have wireless in my home and at my office (700ft away as the crow flies). I set it up, and signal barely reaches my building. I have low signal outside of my office building, and inside the building it drops completely. Would a...

Long Range Network

Ok, so let's say I get a Pre-N extended range router and the signal reaches my neighbors, but not my office. Can I boost the signal with the cantenna? How does this work? Does the cantenna take in the signal and send it out again? The cantenna will need to be hooked up to another router? So...

Long Range Network

Okay, I don't have much experience with networking beyond my own home using a simple wifi router. How many cantennas would I need, and how would this all be setup? Would I setup a router at home, the cantenna at my neighbors (the cantenna would be connected to another router), and then just hope...
