router sending ICMP error in response to broadcast traffic

Hey all: My router is apparently sending an ICMP error whenever its sees a packet it decides it either has nothing to do with, or doesn't like. As a result, my network admins disabled my ethernet connection. Anyone run into this sort of a problem before? It's a D-link DI-524. Copied below...

single stuck red pixel on notebook screen

need some sanity advice. my new dell latitude d610 SXGA+ 14" screen has a stuck red pixel in the middle of the screen. It generally resides on the firefox toolbar. It's really only noticeable on light backgrounds, but that includes web browsing, spreadsheets, word processing, etc...probably...

OMG! Help me, I can't decide!

Are you sure they'll accept it for blacklight bleed? I was under the impression that manufacturers didn't consider this a defect, but rather a normal part of LCD's. Anyways, I returned a CRT to dell upon its arrival about 4 years ago. It was very easy. They sent you a new monitor, you swap...

does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the discrete graphics to the X300 dell offer after purchase? or even to another gpu? I'm looking at a bulk order which only has the discrete option. thanks in advance.

Gen. Wesley Clark's Memorial Day statement

Soooooooo, Wes spoke at Cornell's convocation this weekend. Actually, his speech was pretty good for about 10 minutes, when all of a sudden he slipped into a stock campaign speech for about 5 minutes. Then he somewhat recovered, and sort of made a point, but it's pretty clear he forgot that he...

Keeping laptop alive during a long plane trip

I don't intend this as a thread-crap at all, but as a serious point. I'd be very careful about choosing what sort of home-brewed electronic device you try to bring through airport security. It'd be a miracle if you were able to convince security that what you have is in fact NOT a bomb if it's...

I have a dream

and non-capitalistic systems are immune to corruption? I'm sure that's not what you mean, but I'm really trying to figure out what you're trying to say.

Republicans And the Big Government

I find it hard to believe we're creating roughly 200,000 government jobs a month. You have linky?

I have a dream

Personally, I like having the freedom to sell my crap on ebay, and I'm pretty sure the people who are buying it are happy to get a good deal. Can you explain how this causes the oppression of the masses? Also, I don't particularly understand how getting rid of capitalism will make you more...

Question for Conservatives age 18-38

I'm going to try to give an honest answer to the original question, despite the fact that it has some pretty ridiculous rhetoric. I voted for Bush, but that was primarily because of non-war issues. It wasn't a 1 issue election for me. But, I'm supposed to be a "hardcore Republican" in my...

T42 or T43 ???

should we call you "butterfingers"? But seriously, I'm about to make my first laptop purchase, do people recommend paying an extra couple hundred bucks or so for accidental damage protection? To me it kind of feels like the rental car extra insurance deal, but I've never owned a laptop, so...

Dell 700m vs. Sony S270

since you specify a large screen, I'm not sure I'd recommend the 700m . It's really quite a small screen, though it is a widescreen. I've never actually used them, but I see them around school all the time, and I personally think it would be infuriating to surf the web on one. Perhaps someone...

Begining my hunt for a laptop for college.

Hrm, graduating from Cornell engineering this semester...maybe I can give you some insight on my way out. I only had a desktop while I was here. That worked out fine for me, and looking back, I think I made the right decision at the time. I would've had to have bought a PIII laptop at the...
