Make downloading torrents faster?

ok i just need steps on making it faster. I'm using utorrent. Ive heard that the type of browser speed things up.I'm using InternetExplorer but maybe i should try firefox. Plus my download max is at unlimited, but i think i should change that. Right now it only downloads 10 kb. Oh and how do I change the port to make it download faster?Make downloading torrents faster?
The browser you use has no bearing on your download speed via BT. Limit your upload speed to about 80% of you maximum upload speed so you don't clog the pipe. Go here to learn how to forward your port:

dont use any programs they usually hav viruses, spyware.... in it.Make downloading torrents faster?
my guess.is based on experience .... gO get urself Azureus and fOrget abt utOrrent...try azureus instead of utorrent

Parallel to communication port/converter/wire/whatever?

I have a very nice laser jet printer, and it uses a parallel port to connect to a printer (the 24 pin variety, I think), and I recently got a new laptop that only has parallel ports and USB ports on them. Now the printer has been rendered useless to me. I was wondering if any such converter exists that changes a port from the 24 pin parallel port style to the 9 pin communications port style OR USB. Or perhaps a parallel printer wire that goes to USB... If anybody knows how I can get my printer to work with my laptop, I would be greatly appreciative...

If it helps, my laptop is a Sony VAIO running Vista.Parallel to communication port/converter/wire/whatever?
Yes, you can very well get USB parallel adapters made to work old Parallel port adapters from a modern USB port.

How can I remotely manage options on my router from across a network?

I am on my college's network and want to make changes to my apartments router (on the same network) but do not know how.

What I am trying to do is change a forwarded port to my desktop.How can I remotely manage options on my router from across a network?
Your router needs to hage remote management enabled. This is usually a checkbox in the setup pages.

If it is enabled, you need to nkow the WAN IP address of your router - the one the campus knows it by. You can usually get this under the 'Status' tab in the setup pages.

Type that IP address into a browser - http://123.456.789.123

Limewire/frost wire will not connect with windows vista?

ive tried turning off the fire wall,inserting a port, changing the compatibility options,reinstalling, restarting, and nothing seems to work.

i had limewire working before my computer crashed, i had vista then too but i forgot how i got it to work.

I'm aware limewire/frostwire is illegal so please don't tell me how i shouldn't have it in the first place, thats not why im posting this.

help please:D

vista home premium if you are required to knowLimewire/frost wire will not connect with windows vista?
Here's the deal. Limewire and Frostwire cause computers to crash. People download files not knowing there are viruses on them. I know several people this has happen to. It was even strongly suggested in a computer training course not to install them period for this very reason. Take it like this, your computer is saving you from it happening again. You should find another downloading source.Limewire/frost wire will not connect with windows vista?
limewire bites and is full of viruses

try azurus if you still want the search engine like programLimewire/frost wire will not connect with windows vista?
doesnt matter use a bitorent instead called azureus and a website to get the torrents caled the pirate bay, google it and it is the first result

ISP blocked torrents?

Hi,

Im using an AIRTEL VSAT connection, i get speeds upto 1 mbps, but im not able to download through torrents. all other http and ftp download modes are possible, but even p2p is disabled!!

When i try torrents it connects to trackers and receives no of seeds n peers, but i wont get any single kb of data.

So, how to tackle this problem???

I used all kinds of port forwarding, tunneling and many apps, but nothing helps, even port changing doesnt help..

Plz suggest me a good solution!!!!!!!!!!!!ISP blocked torrents?
Depending on the torrent application you're using, you may be able to encrypt your torrent connections and it may help prevent your torrent connections from being throttled.

You should try to see if you can turn encryption option on if it's available.

If you're not in the United States, your country may have laws against encryption and you should find out if so, before changing the setting.ISP blocked torrents?
sure our in nework network torrentreactors are blocked.

How can I configure my browser to browse the net on another port?

Do you think i can configure my internet browser to browse on another port rather than the default port 8080? for instance can i change it to port used for Internet call? e.g port 27079 or port 1165?How can I configure my browser to browse the net on another port?
Normally, most web servers listen on port 80 for a browser to make a request for a file (page), and that is really where things are controlled. Ultimately you will have connect to a web site on the Internet via port 80, unless it is explicity part of the URL (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com:27079 - in order for this to work the web server must be listening on port 27079 or it will just timeout trying to connect.

You can set your browser to use a different port by setting the proxy server settings in the connection window - my guess, however, is that if your browser is already using 8080, there is probably a proxy/firewall on your network.

To summarize - by changing the proxy settings in your web browser, you can force all LAN requests to use a different port as they will then be directed to a proxy/firewall where those requests are then sent out on port 80 over the Internet.How can I configure my browser to browse the net on another port?
I know this doesn't answer your question, but when I first glanced at it, I thought you wanted to browse on another 'planet', which would not be possible (in case anybody was going to try).How can I configure my browser to browse the net on another port?
Open up Internet Explorer and type %26quot;http://192.168.0.1%26quot; without the quotes. This will ask for a name and password for your modem. The name is %26quot;admin%26quot; and the password is %26quot;password%26quot;. When you are in there, you can forward your port from default, to any port that you desire. Just make sure you save the settings, and reset your modem.How can I configure my browser to browse the net on another port?

Windows msn / Yahoo Messenger service and p2p software?

I have a laptop which is working fine , i'm running avg virus and spyware software. I use azureus as torrent downloader which works great. The issue i have is that none of the above software seems to connect - i have uninstalled both msn and windows live messenger but to no avail it won't let me connect without an xp error message. so in other words it won't work at all same with kazzaa and exeem but azureues works fine , i thought it was a firewall issue but even with the virus and firewall switched off it still doesn't work what am i missing - i have port forwarding set up on azureus could that be a problem? I can't think of anything else apart from recovery but i don't want to do that. it used to work fine could it be a virus , i have scanned but nothing comes up. Apparently i can change the port setting in interent options but i don't know how to do this either all in all i'm a tad stuck someone please help !!!Windows msn / Yahoo Messenger service and p2p software?
Your question's a little confusing, but let me see if this is right;

You've got Azureus installed, and this works ok.

You had MSN and Windows Live Messenger both installed, but have removed these now and they wouldn't connect when you had them installed.

Kazaa you've tried and this won't connect.

Exeem you've tried and it won't connect either.

So none of your Messenger or P2P applications will connect to the internet except Azureus? And you get a Windows XP error message, but you haven't said what it is?

I would suggest that you type exactly what your error message is into Google, and you'll find some pages that will help. Probably some pages from the Microsoft Knowledgebase, and some forum posts where people have fixed this problem.

My other suggestion is to open up one of the programs that doesn't work and find the configuration or options page. Find out which ports it's using (if it's in there - you may need to check the application's help pages) and then set these up for port forwarding in your router (if you have one) and open the ports on your firewall.

I don't know which firewall you're using, but if you Google the name of your firewall and the words %26quot;open ports%26quot; then I'm sure you'll find a step-by-step guide.

If you have a router and need to set up the port forwarding for these ports, you can probably also use Google with the make/model of your router and the words %26quot;port forwarding%26quot; and perhaps %26quot;guide%26quot; to find out how to set this up.

I doubt very much there's a virus involved here. Lots of people who don't know better suggest a virus is the culprit when it's very unlikely a virus would just stop your applications connecting. It depending how dodgy your error message appears though I guess.

Good luck with your problem. Hopefully with a bit of Googling you should be able to fix the problem yourself. Try and post the error message in the future - it'll help people to help you.

All the best.

:( this peer-to-peer program! It'd driving me crazy! help please! uh!?

you might have heard of it it's TVU player! I've been using it for a couple of months it was fine, but all of a sudden its not working, how do you get a peer-to-peer program to run? my torrent program doesn't work either, but I don't use torrent much, what could be wrong?

it does connect to the network it does buffer but it wont run the channel even after 15 minutes, sometimes out of nowhere the channels do come up after a lot of waiting, but most of the time channels won't come up , (if you're familiar with the program it might help)

I've tried reinstalling, repairing my network connection, changing the port, changing the port to automatic setting, restarting the pc like a million times

could it be my connection? I use a university server it's really fast, like 40 mbps, but when I use torrent or this peer-to-peer program it slows down, or sometimes websites wont come up!:( this peer-to-peer program! It%26039;d driving me crazy! help please! uh!?
if you can try your torrent program elsewhere, i mean a different server/isp. you should know some ISP/servers block the ports of torrent programs so in that case you cant do anything. if even your web browsing is down, then that's not on you. it's most likely your school, anyone else complaining about inability to browse?

if you have running torrents, meaning it's downloading, and you're trying to browse that's normal, the download/torrent is taking your bandwidth you can limit the ownload speed and upload speed. refer to the bit torrent wiki for further help.

Wireless network, port forwarding confusion, why, how, and its not working.lol.?

wireless network, port forwarding confusion, why, how, and its not working.lol.

i used to use utorrent and i never had to forward my port/ports or whatever, and now since i got this bt home hub router thing, utorrent says that i must, forward my ports,

now the other comp on this wireless network doesnt have to do this coz when he tests his port it says its open, even if he randomizes the port, now i put in the same port number that he has and it worked but when he changes the port , mine closes.

ive gone to portforward.com, so please dont give me a link to intructions, id like to hear what YOU have to say, if u know anything about this...

ive gone throught the intructions, and manually forwarded the port that i was on at that time, and it still says the same thing

any help??????

thnxWireless network, port forwarding confusion, why, how, and its not working.lol.?
whatever it is that your trying to do or let through the firewall works like this - when it hits your router and it is a port that is blocked it stops there because the routerhas no other instructions to do anything with it and that's where forwarding the the port comes in it tells the router what to do with the request that came in. If your your going to forward any ports you need to set your computers ip to a static one. If it's set to dynamic the ip could change everytime you reboot and the router can't find your computer then. So start by setting a static ip. Go to start- settings- network connections- and right click on the local area connection of your internet connection and go to properties.now scroll down to internet protocol(tcp/ip) and manually set this in the range that you have set in the router. once set then the router knows how to find your computer because it will always have the same ip. Now forwarding the ports it will usually ask which port and a destination address or ip and it should be simple now just type the port you want to forward and the ip you configured your computer to always have and you should be done. Other people that are on your network can do the same thing except they can't have the same ip as you so select something close to yours usually go in order like 192.168.0.10 then next computer 192.168.0.11 and so on then then forward that same port except the destination ip would be the ip for there computer so you could have the same port forwarded to multiple computers and everyones works. Hope this helps a little if you more help just let me know it's alot easier to do then it is to try to type it all outWireless network, port forwarding confusion, why, how, and its not working.lol.?
adjust your security settings to default and check your firewall logs for the blocking info....then you can configure your firewall to either make an exception for the program or set it to allow the program to run. Leave the utorrent settings to their default and also select to randomize the port...port forwarding does not always work with a router and modem configuration because you have 3 different mac addresses and 2 differentips so the port doesn't always transfer right. The reason you can get there when the other pc is on is the routers firewall is set to allow that pc to connect and therefore has opened that port, when he disconnects, the ports closed.....so just set your firewall to allow the pogram access and you should be fine.Wireless network, port forwarding confusion, why, how, and its not working.lol.?

It says my uTorrent port does not seem to be open.?

i'm downloading stuff from uTorrent and I'm getting awfully slow speed and it says my port is closed, how do i open it ? i changed changing the port number. can someone tell me what to do in steps?It says my uTorrent port does not seem to be open.?
You need to forward the port through any router or firewall. This guide to setting uTorrent up for best speeds has links to guides for this and other info and screenshots to help:

http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/It says my uTorrent port does not seem to be open.?
Look under your router and follow the guide (select your model ) here to open your port:

http://www.portforward.com/english/appli

Hope this helps!

EDIT: If you're getting that error, then your torrent program is overtaxing your router. If you probably want to buy a router that can keep up- like the Linksys WRT54GL- and install performance firmware on it like Tomato. That handles torrenting very well.It says my uTorrent port does not seem to be open.?
And if both your modem and your router are listed, read http://www.webdingers.com/router.htmlIt says my uTorrent port does not seem to be open.?
click this http://192.168.1.1 that should get you to the log in for your router the login with probably be admin admin once inside you need to go to the port fowarding section and the port number you set for utorrent put there then put the internal IP address of your computer and it should work. probably needs to be set as TCP also.

Can i change the tuning of a subwoofer?

if a sub is specifically supposed to be tuned to 40hz what would happen if i wanted to tune it to 30 or 35hz? would it damage the sub? how would i change the tuning? different port lengths?Can i change the tuning of a subwoofer?
Generally speaking a woofer is rated at a certain Hz beacuse that is the woofer's sweet spot, where it sounds best.

You really can't change the tune of the woofer itself but you can change the tune of the box by adjusting port lengths, adding or removing sound deading material inside the box, and adjusting the overall box size.

Your risks by doing this are 1. your box will sound worse 2. you may over extend your woofer causing damage.

I would recommend that you pick up some deading material (cotton, felt, foam, dynamat etc..) to attach to the inner of the box first. This will soften the harshness of the soundwaves reflecting off the back of your box and cause it to sound deeper/lower.Can i change the tuning of a subwoofer?

The answers given by this individual have been deemed to cause serious personal injury or equipment damage.Can i change the tuning of a subwoofer?
A subwoofer has its own natural tuned frequency (on specs as Fs), but that isn't a recommendation as to how to tune the box. Basically, when you want to have a ported box, tune it to what you like. If you listen to a lot of rap and songs that have low, low bass, then tune it low. Otherwise it would be okay to tune it slightly higher. And no, the sub wouldn't be damaged. If you want the tuning of the enclosure to be lower, then basically you want the port length longer, or the port size smaller. However, increased port area, from what I've experienced, tends to be louder. For example, a 4%26quot; port thats 6%26quot; long may tune a box the same as 3 6%26quot; ports that are a foot long each, however the 3 6%26quot; ports would seemingly be louder. I dunno, basically to answer your question, no damage will be done. Tune your box to what you listen to and enjoy.

How do i change the default port that my router uses as its log-in interface i have a web exel adsl2/2 router?

is it possible i think right now it is on port 80 and i want to change it because apache needs thta port !!! ans sugestions?/??How do i change the default port that my router uses as its log-in interface i have a web exel adsl2/2 router?
Once you log into your router goto the option for Router Management or Login Management/Options.

Change the login protocol to HTTPS or 443, which is SSL.

I don't see how this change would help you but thats how you change it.

If you want another port then you'd either need to find specialized software or dig through your router's firmware.

Good LuckHow do i change the default port that my router uses as its log-in interface i have a web exel adsl2/2 router?
mmm... I dont think i fully understood your problem... Anyways let me say.

I fyuo have IIS then its probably using 80 , just stop IIS and then start Apache, Or else try opening httpd.conf file in the bin directory of Apache and change the port to someother thing and see...

If the printer does support a usb printer connection then all you need is the usb printer cable and plug it in.

Why has this suddenly stopped working and how do I get it to work again?Unable to send mail from Outlook for a few days?
Does it come up asking you to confirm your username and password. If so look at my answer below

If you had Outlook working before and you have a Yahoo.co.uk account, try the following.

Log into your yahoo account via web-mail.

Look for mail options then pop and forwarding.

Were it says Pop %26amp; Web access to the left click button then click save at bottom.

You should get the following message.

POP3 Setup Successful

You can now access Yahoo! Mail through the web or any email program using POP3.

Close and you should then be able to use Outlook.

You have not tell us what for IP address have you tried by connecting to your router.

As first disable any firewall if you use it. Then detect your router IP address:

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/router-

http://www.find-ip-address.org/router-ip

Then type that IP address into url and try to connect again. It should works.

Issue with 2 external USB hard drives?

i run my own photography business and have 2 separate freecom external usb drives that i keep my pictures on. i plugged them in 2 days ago to find the laptop (even though windows xp gives out the connection sound) does not display then in my computer so i cant access them. no amount of restarts, change of ports helps.. i have tried on another laptop with the same result. Any help or advise would be appreciated.

In device manager it is showing as usb mass storage but is not showing up as a drive letter... This is happening for both of them. I do not have a power unit for the drives, but have been running the off usb power for a 2 months now without a problem. Its funny, how on 3 different PC's, 2 seperate usb devices are not even beginning recognised.. even though on the usb hub that i use, the light comes on to show that a device has been connected to it!Issue with 2 external USB hard drives?
Uh oh sounds like you have corrupted drives, I have thew same problem, external USB hard drive been working for the last year and now it wont show up on any computerIssue with 2 external USB hard drives?
Have you tried connecting the drives directly to your PC, cutting out the Hub? Does this give the same results?

My firewire doesn't fit in my mac?

I just got a mac and need to upload some film footage... I went to plug in my firewire and it looks like they changed their ports (my brother has a mac and this cord fit in his...)

The end of mine looks like a USB with a curve on the top of it...

Do I need to go buy a new cord or what's going on? How much would this cost?

Thanks.My firewire doesn%26039;t fit in my mac?
Crimson is correct...

But there are different firewire connectors. The DV port on a camcorder is a 4-pin firewire connector. The firewire 400 port on many Macs is a 6-pin connector. The firewire800 port on some newer Macs is a 9-pin connector. Generally - assuming your Mac has a firewire port, you might need a 4-pin to 6-pin or 4-pin to 9-pin firewire cable.

The new MacBooks and MacBook Air do not have a firewire port and there is no way to add one.

So... which Apple Macintosh are you using?My firewire doesn%26039;t fit in my mac?
What kind of Mac do you have? I know when comparing the G5 to the Mac Pro, the firewire port changed from vertical to horizental. The firewire itself shouldn't change. Are you sure your new Mac even has a firewire port? Need more info, wish I could help.

I have no internet connection after running spyware program?

I have been trying to rid our PC of a trojan virus. A few nights ago I installed and ran SuperAnti-spyware b/c I kept getting an XP pop-up for antivirus 09 that I couldn't shut down!! I hadn't initiated it either. Anyway, after it detected everything, I quarantined it and removed the infected files. Now I can't connect to the net--we have verizon DSL connection. Did I remove a needed file? It mostly looked like infected temp files/cookies.

I have done a system restore and fiddled around with our firewall settings, but to no avail.

I haven't been able to figure out how to fix that or open or change those ports if I need to...Advice?I have no internet connection after running spyware program?
Best way to get rid of that terrible Malware easily is to download combofix.

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUB

Download it and run it, agree to the license, and let it scan. Should get rid of most of it. After that if you need anti-virus, use AVG 8.0, it's free and it doesn't expire, install and update it, and let it scan to get rid of the rest of it. free.avg.com and download the free edition of AVG 8.0.

Could I change the ethernet port on my laptop, so I could plug in another ethernet cord for another connection

I would like to use the ethernet port on my computer to use for my Xbox live. How Can I make it so I can use my laptop, witch I'm using with a wireless router.

My friend said that he got his to do it one time.Could I change the ethernet port on my laptop, so I could plug in another ethernet cord for another connection
Yes it is possible. You need to enable internet connection sharing in your network properties. Right click on your wireless connection, get properties. Click advanced. Then enable internet connection sharing.

You will need to use a hub/switch between your xbox and laptop or use a crossover cable,or that connection will not work.

Check this out.

http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-a-Steam-Se

That tells you which ones you need open and which protocol the ports need (UDP). You haven't given the info on your router, but once you log onto your router's setup page it should be easy. It will be called port forwarding or something like that.

How do i keep my PS3 on the same IP?

Ok, i have a linksys wireless NPlus router. I know how to change the settings on it etc, but what i want to do is keep my ps3 running on the same IP. I was getting some problems and opened a few ports and now the system runs fine, however when it changes the ip it likes to use i have to change the ports that are opening to the new ip. Is there any way i can keep my ps3 on a constant IP, only allowing that device to use some ports?

For more info, theres a few devices in my house, e.g. 2 computers, laptops etc...So i have a wireless network, not wired. :) Thanks.How do i keep my PS3 on the same IP?
yes in the router look for your current ps3 ip address click on it click keep same ip

Torrent Speed?

Hi, i have Azureus and im having problems with speed and ports.

First of all, occasionally when i start downloading a torrent, the icon is yellow and it says it has NAT Problems. But the thing is, that doesn't affect the speed too much. But when i change the port, it fixes the problem, the icon goes green, but the speed is unstable. One second it's 50k/s, the next it's 15k/s. Please provide in detail how to fix this problem.Torrent Speed?
try u torrent to find out if the problem is with azureus settings or of your network. then start again from there to fix the problem.

if you are using a wifi connection maybe it's because of bad singaling.

How do I check my firewall settings on my computer?

I try to view a webpage and I get this:

%26quot;Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.%26quot;

After running the diagnostic test:

%26quot;Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. This is probably caused by the firewall settings on your computer.

Check the firewall settings for HTTP Port 80 , HTTPS Port 443 and FTP Port 21.%26quot;

How do I do this and where do I look to find this info? I don檛 see anywhere on the Control Panel under Windows Firewall that it gives me any options of any Ports.

On McAfee under Firewall I don檛 see anyplace I can change the Ports either. Even where it says change firewall settings. I checked all the options and none of them give me any type of choice to check or change the settings for the Ports.

Through all of this my Vonage phone still works. I just can檛 use the Internet the majority of the time. Or it will work for maybe 5 to 10 minutes (sometimes longer) and then I can檛 view any pages.How do I check my firewall settings on my computer?
Hi,

If you are on Vista (or Windows 7) type into the search bar in the start menu

%26quot;Firewall%26quot;

You should then see an option for:

You should find all the setting you're after in there : )

Problems using Bittorrent accross university network?

I have used Azureus for a while now to download stuff (legitimate public domain stuff I might add.) Now I am at university there appears to be something blocking bittorrent use accross the network.

Whenever I try to dowload a torrent connections to peers always fail at the %26quot;Waiting for handshake%26quot; stage. I have tried dowloading better seeded torrents but it makes no difference. I have also tried changing the port bittorrent uses to see if that makes a difference, but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas how to get my downloads working? I know information about the unviersity's network would be helpful but unfortunately I have none!Problems using Bittorrent accross university network?
The only thing I can think of would be to restrict your connections to one.

Most large companies (University's being the same) will not allow multiple connections because of bandwidth issues.

It worked for me at work.Problems using Bittorrent accross university network?
You may have to open the tcp ports, which may be impossible given your position. Plenty of universities block it entirely as a matter of course because once you get a lot of people doing it, it slows down the whole network. You'll either have to bribe the network tech to allow your ip to be exempt, or switch to another download service.Problems using Bittorrent accross university network?
Quite frankly, I gave up on using Azureus about a year ago for downloading torrents. Too many problems with it. I only use BitComet now.

Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?

I have a eMac ATI Graphics model and wondering if I can change from a 1,1 USB port to a 2.0, do I have to buy something off ebay? And how can I speed up from 800MHz to 1GHz?Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?
As far as I have been able to ascertain there are no expansion slots that would accept a USB 2.0 expansion card. The only expansion slot is for the airport extreme card which unfortunately is not a standard expansion slot. Although it looks very similar to the mini-PCI standard.

There is nothing that can convert a USB 1.1 port to a USB 2.0 port externally as the low speed of USB 1.1 is the limiting factor.

The only possibility I can think of is replacing the USB controller chip which is soldered to the logic board or possibly even integrated into a larger multi purpose chip making it impossible. Even if such surgery is possible there is no guarantee it will work

It is possible to over-clock the CPU of the eMac. As the CPU is a low power unit, there is plenty of headroom. Over-clocking on the eMac however is not for the inexperienced. Soldering of some very small SMT (surface mount) resistors is required.

It seems obvious to me that the eMac is built with a rather deliberate set of limitations. Planned obsolescence.

In other words its time to buy a new or better second hand machine.Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?
No, that is a hardware thing!Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?
no. This is a hardware constraint. If you have empty PCI expansion slots on your motherboard, you can buy a PCI card that has USB 2.0 ports.Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?
USB 1.1 and 2.0 have different hardware. The chip that makes and receives the signals is a different version in 2.0. So 2.0 is backwards compatible but 1.1 is not forwards compatible. You need different hardware. I'm not sure how you do this on a Mac because they're self-contained, but for a PC you can buy a card with USB 2.0 ports on it. You might be able to get something like this for the Mac. I don't know if it has card slots, but they might make something that plugs into an existing port, like the Firewire port.Is there anyway to change a USB port from a 1.1 to a 2.0?
An USB port is hardware. You have revision 1.1, which is technically different compared to revision 2.0. You cannot do anything to %26quot;upgrade%26quot; from USB 1.1 to USB 2.0, sorry. As for the speed which you mention, I assume that you are referring to your processor speed? You could overclock your processor, but this is not advised for someone who is not experienced such as yourself, as you could very well ruin your hardware.

Assuming you have windows XP

1. go to your network connections

2. Right click on the connection you want to set the static IP on and go to 'properties'

3. A new window pops up, highlight 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). You may need to scroll down

4. Click the Properties button

5. Choose %26quot;use the following IP address%26quot; and then enter in all the info. You can get all this info but going back to step 1, double-clicking on the connection and going to the Support tab. There you can grab your subnet mask and DNS.How do i make my laptop connect to our router with the same ip everytime i turn it on? so i can port forward?

Bypass my Linksys login?

I have a Linksys router that I've had for a while but got a new PC %26amp; forgot the login information. How can I get to my information inside to change my ports for a new PC if I can't remember my login info %26amp; I DON'T want to lose my configuration by resetting it?Bypass my Linksys login?
The only way in is to remember the password, or do a reset on the router. Sorry, there is no other way....

However, if you already set the ports before you got the new computer, they should still be set. The router is just a network box, it cares little about the computer other than if you have port forwarding, and you have to forward to the same IP address you used before

Why does my webcam freezes when it used to work fine on YIM?

I use my web cam on a daily basis with my gfriend. Shes on dial up, and im on DSL. It used to work fine, only freezing every now and then because of the dial up connection. But a few weeks ago, my webcam started to only works for a minute before it freezes, then after around 2 minutes my webcam unfreezes and she start getting images that where supposedly sent at least one minute ago (meaning, lots of lag).

Since the problem started, ive re installed my webcam, re installed yahoo messenger, changed usb port but the trouble persists. Her webcam works perfect, the only one with the problem is mine.

I also use the webcam to talk with my sister, but i use it on Skype and i have no problems there. Both my sister and me have broadband.

So, any ideas why is this happening? and more importantly, how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.Why does my webcam freezes when it used to work fine on YIM?
There are a couple things to try, First run scandisk on your computer the version of windows helps I assume xp, go to my computer right click on your c: drive and click on properties it brings up a tabbed box click on tools and scan now , unfortunately you have to reboot for it to work.

once you have tried that check your preferences under superwebcam when your chatting to your girl select the keep broadcasting in standard mode and see if that helps , often times yahoo is checkin for super mode and it freezes your cam till it decides what it should do, rather sux actuallyWhy does my webcam freezes when it used to work fine on YIM?
I'm not sure why as mine does that too, but only on YIM, not WIM. Sometimes it happens if we start playing with our avatars while IM'ng. I wish I knew how to fix it.

No, its not. Some motherboards have more than one type of port, but they are not changeable.Is it possible to change the type of port i have for my graphics card without getting a new mother board?
You don't have to get a new port, you just pull the old card out and put the new card in. If you have integrated graphics, you'll want to just buy a card, install the drivers, and install the card. If you have a newer card already, you could look into SLI/Crossfire. If you have a capable card, this technology will combine an additional card with the one you already have and give you ahuge boost to graphics processing power.

You might also look into a physX coprocessor. This will take a huge load off the GPU and CPU for rendering 3D animations, and will make your graphics much more detailed.

Xbox live test failed due to internet - xbox live?

when i run my xbox live test it always fails at the xbox live section saying i am connected to the internet but not xbox live.and i was told to go on to my router and change firewall ports. can someone help me figure out how to do this. my router is a netgear EN108tpXbox live test failed due to internet - xbox live?
First off, go to http://portforward.com/

That website is awesome for what you want. It has a list of specific router models, and tutorials for each one on how to forward ports. Just insert the proper ports you need forwarded and follow the instructions for your particular model and you should be fine.

I am confused about that router model though. I looked it up (not just there, but on Google) and it doesn't pull up anything at all. Are you sure that's the right model number? If it's not listed at portforward.com, then just google your model number with %26quot;port forward%26quot; or %26quot;faq%26quot; or %26quot;manual%26quot; or something.

Anyways, good luck!Xbox live test failed due to internet - xbox live?
restart your computer, modem, router, and xbox. also, check your connection in the back of the modem.

How to change a Serial Port to a USB port?

My computer's USB port broke down after 6 years of use. I could get it repaired and soldiered, but it costs way too much for me right now. So, I've tried looking for some sort of adapter/converter I could use to change any one of my ports (particularly my Serial) to make it a place where I can connect USB devices.

I tried looking on Newegg for %26quot;serial to USB%26quot; and %26quot;USB to serial%26quot; adapters, but none seem to be the one that makes a Serial port into one where I can plug USB devices into.

Ip address keeps changing with router?

I have a PS3, and two computer connected to one router, a LINKSYS BEFSR41 wired router.

As of this moment, my ip address on this computer ends in a .102, my PS3's ends in a .100, and the other computer ends in .101

A few days ago, the ip addresses were switched around, and my PS3's ip address ended in .102

Is there a reason the ip addresses keep randomly switching their values. This has been happening ever since i started using this router, and I am not really sure how tof ix this. This is annoying because when i got o open ports, it asks me which ip address i want to open ports for, so everytime time the ip address changes, i have to go back into my router and keep changing the ports around.

Is there anyway to keep each of the ip addresses constant, it seems like they change everyday for no reason whatsoever. I never disconnect the wires from the router or form the computers or from my PS3. I have no idea why they are changing around.Ip address keeps changing with router?
To open port (port forwarding), you HAVE to use a static IP, just for the very reason you are seeing - DHCP can change your IP without warning - it is dynamic!

Set your PS3 to a static IP, outside the DHCP pool range. I would suggest, based on your IP's above, to use 192.168.x.2, or whatever is not in use by others. Then your port forwarding will always work because your LAN IP will never change....Ip address keeps changing with router?
you need to make your ip address static, just google that.

ill try to explain it here as well. go into your network connections and right click on the connection you are using. click on properties. now go into command propmt and type %26quot;ipconfig /all%26quot; then go back to the other window (the properties one) go down to ipv4, copy the data across and save it.

you need to do this for you ps3 as well, just look for the network settings.Ip address keeps changing with router?
Well, if you don't leave all of the devices on all of the time, then the first one to access the network makes the first DHCP request and then gets the first assignment.

If that doesn't apply, then I would say one of the devices has high latency on the network. You might need a new router.

Finally, see if - in the admin control panel of the router - if you can reserve IPs for specific devices.Ip address keeps changing with router?
Yeah, DHCP.

Comes by default on practically every home network.

Normal operation.

You can statically assign your IP's by specifically entering the information in your connection settings (or network adapter properties under IPv4 in Windows).

Make sure you don't statically assign an address that's within your DHCP range or you might run into potential problems.

Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter problems!?

Hi,

I bought a new Xbox 360 recently and have only recently got the wireless adapter for it. When I plug it in the red light is on and I can find my network but when I enter my WEP key the page just closes and sends me back to the basics settings menu and it says %26quot;not connected%26quot;, it doesnt even show an error message...

i have tried everything from opening ports, changing the WEP key, trying it with no internet security, mac addresses, etc. but it still has the same response of shutting the page and going back to basic settings...

Does anybody know how to fix this or do I need to send the adapter back?

I would either contact Linksys support or Microsoft support, or just play around with your router setings till it works.Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter problems!?
What Akii said :PXbox 360 Wireless Adapter problems!?
Don't use WEP. Use WPA at a minimum. WPA2 is the best.

Anyway, it sounds like you might need to change your wireless channel or clone your MAC address of the card in the router. Change the wireless channel to 1, 6, or 11 only.

If that doesn't work, you should look into powerline. Check these links out:

http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/en_

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/NETGEAR+-+Po

Now I run both powerline and wireless. Powerline is as simple as plugging it in. There is no drivers or software to load. The nice thing about powerline is that it seems to be as reliable as connecting to the router as far as not going down. Also, it eliminates the bad security issues wireless has. Security can easily be enabled if you are worried about your outdoor power outlets by pressing a button.

Military housing clause and breaking a lease?

My husband is in the Navy and we are getting ready to move to San Diego where he is stationed on the USS Nimitz and apparently the carrier will be undergoing a home port change at the end of the year.. We are looking for an apartment now but are unsure of how long to get the lease for and what my husband and I have learned is that the Navy's time line tends to be a guesstimate so we don't really know how many months to lease an apartment for.. Now I know that there is a military housing clause but does it have to be written in the lease? Do you have to pay the fees in order to break the lease if you use the military housing clause? Thanks for your help!Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
The military clause no longer has to be written into the lease in order for it to apply. One important factor to consider is that your husband must specifically be on the lease. If you are the only signer, you are not eligible for the provisions of the SCRA. I just wrote an article about this subject: http://paycheck-chronicles.military.com/…

Good luck to you!Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
yes the military clause must be written in.

with a homeport change that would qualify you to break the lease with 30 days notice without penalty.. as Long as that clause is in there.Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
Under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act, a lease can be broken when you receive PCS orders. A military clause is helpful, but not required.

Quoting: %26quot;The Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA), formerly known as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act, is federal law. Although the SCRA provides some protection, it is always smart to include a military clause within your rental agreement.

A “military clause” is a provision in a rental contract that allows a Soldier to break a residential lease because of a number of service-related situations. A military clause provides more protection than the SCRA.

The SCRA allows termination of leases in only some circumstances. Specifically, the SCRA allows for termination of a lease: upon entry into military service; when a Soldier receives military orders for a change of permanent station (PCS orders); or when a Soldier receives military orders to deploy in support of a military operation for 90 or more days. The SCRA also allows a Soldier’s spouse who has entered a joint lease with the Soldier to terminate the lease under these conditions.%26quot;

Why can't I find any "good games" on Modern Warfare 2?

I've tried everything I can find, but nothing seems to work. I have always had an open NAT but i still tried all of this: forwarded ports, changed DMZ, reset my modem and router multiple times, unplugged and blew on my xbox wireless adapter a la Nintendo 64... Would someone please help me!?!

No matter how long I wait, I can never find a single game to get into, I have to find someone in my friends list that or someone in my recently played with list that has the option to join their session in progress. Not only is that annoying because it can be hard to find people to join, but 7 times out of ten you don't get into the game type you want.Why can%26039;t I find any %26quot;good games%26quot; on Modern Warfare 2?
check you ping. if it os over 50, then you'll never get into games. Anyway, it might not be your fault. Infinityward is a horrible server. It's usual ping is 30 so you only got a 20 ping margin.Why can%26039;t I find any %26quot;good games%26quot; on Modern Warfare 2?
I had this *exact* same problem lol its like i wrote that. I checked every forum and asked anyone for help. Finally I had My Internet Provider (IP) come out and give it a look they upgraded my modem and my router after that it was smooth sailing. so if you rent your router from your IP( mine is time warner) then have them come out and upgrade it if not buy a better router.Why can%26039;t I find any %26quot;good games%26quot; on Modern Warfare 2?
You are probably just lagging. Try waiting like 10-15 min see if any games pop up. If no games pop up you will probably have fix the wireless communication on your x-box or go to a shop to check out your x-box.

Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?

This question is intended for the enlisted military.

I have been in the United States Navy for 2 years now.

I am first generation of Salvadorian decent, born in the United States. When my parents came to the United States one of their dreams was to raise their kids in a better educational environment that they never had in El Salvador. I am the oldest child out of 3 so graduating with a high school diploma was something my parents were really happy about. But, when it came to the next step out of high school that was when I got really confused about my future. I wanted to go to college but, I had no way of figuring out how to pay for it. I took a break for a year after graduation to figure out what I want to do with my life.

So I went in the direction of the military so I can get some leadership skills and a way for the government to pay for my college education. At first my parents didn't agree with my decision. Especially my father he didn't want me to risk my life working for the government, and he even told me one time that %26quot;I rather work in a factory for 20 years then to join the military%26quot;. My family wanted me to continue my education right out of high school and they were expecting more out of me. But, I didn't listen to them and I went in the Navy anyway. I figure I try to make my family proud since I am the very first person in my entire family history to join the military.

In the beginning everything went alright for me. But, as time came by it got to the point that maybe the military wasn't the best decision for me. Don't get me wrong. I don't regret enlisting in and I'm not saying that the military is a wrong path to follow. Sometimes I just feel like this isn't my full potential of what I want to be as an adult. Maybe not even that but, my ship (USS Carl Vinson) has been in the shipyards since 2005 and won't be making a port change to San Diego until 2010. By that time I'll be on my last year in the Navy if I decide to get out.

So I haven't really worked on my real job or done some traveling just because I will spend most of my first enlistment in the shipyards sweeping, swabing the decks and painting around the ship. Which most likely demotivates me from staying in the Navy. But, I am half way done so I will see how this second half of my enlistment goes. My parents eventually accepted the fact that I am in the military and are proud of me for it. But, I feel that this is not enough for me. I think college would have had better preparation for me. I remember I was reading an article by a military veteran saying that %26quot;military experience is nothing compared to a college degree%26quot;. But, then again maybe I wouldn't have taken college seriously because I didn't take high school that seriously either. Perhaps I would have just dropped out of college.

I have a few college courses here in the Navy. But, it's not the same as going to college full time without having work following you all the time 24/7. It's a good thing I fully paid off my GI Bill. But, I think it's just going to suck that I will be gradutating at an older age then if I were to just go to college right out of high school. Perhaps this kind of mentality will help me mature better and do better in college then just the immature kid that I was before I joined the Navy. I used to take advantage of things and took things for granted without even saying thank you before I joined the Navy. But, now that I don't have the same freedom as I used to have as a civilian. I realize just how important it is to appreciate things in life even in the small things.

I just want to know if there is anyone out there that's either in the military or prior military that can tell me if they ever regretted not going to college first and give an explanation of why or why not. I would also appreciate any motivational advise that you can give me. I would greatly appreciate your answer.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
Having a college degree is no guarantee of having a job. If one is going to go to any school, a trade school (electrical, plumbing, etc) is the best bet. However, you can get job experience in the military that no civilian school can offer. Besides the military schools, there's hands on training. Where else can you go to school, get paid, free food, free boarding, free text books, free tutoring and pay raises?

I took college courses while on active duty (on shore and at sea) and used those credits toward my degree, which actually means squat right now. It meant squat when I got it because my job/jobs didn't require one...where I wanted to work. I just enjoyed learning.

My son went to plumbing school, apprenticed and is now 3 in a new construction plumbing company (at 38 years old) and will most likely take over the company in a couple of years when the owner retires...if he doesn't come back to the east coast and start his own business.

I seriously and sincerely regret not having joined the military right out of high school.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
I got one degree on active duty. Then went to college full time when I retired. It's all good.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
I'm glad I went into the military first. I grew up, became more mature, learned responsibility, appreciation, etc...

I wouldn't have appreciated college right out of HS. I see so many kids dropping out, or failing because they really don't understand how much is paid into schooling, or how important their grades are.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
Yes.

Life would have been so different having gone to college first. One thing most of the other people responding failed to point out would be that being a college graduate would probably made them an Officer.

Military life is different for enlisted and officers. No doubt.

I did my job well, got out and went to college. I can only imagine where I might be today if I had done it the other way around and come out of the Navy with rank rather than rating.

g-day!Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
I am glad that I joined while in high school. If I was going to go to college why not have them help pay? I'm not planning on having a civilian job anyway. I know that having a degree is always good but I will cross that road when I get to it.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
I joined the USMC as a college freshmen at 19, missed school for about a year and a half then after it's over, I went back to school and served as a reservist. No regrets.Do you regret not going to college first out of high school instead of enlisting in the military?
Never is late to go back to school and i really think that u will have the opportunity again and do what u really want to do in ur life. I'm 100% sure that u are going to do better than if u had gone from high school because u are more mature and u see the things different now. Keep going on and fight for your dreams. Don't give up!!!!!

How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?

I have a sony vaio vgn-ux1xn and i bought an external disc drive and it didn't work when i plugged it into the USB on the laptop, but it did when i plugged it into the USB on the docking station. I know the disc drive is only compatible with USB 2.0 and I thought the one on the laptop was, but it must not be, so is there a way to change it to be 2.0?How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
All USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible to USB 1.1, 1.0 etc.

Check the USB port on your laptop with another USB device and see if its working. If not, its broken. And there is no way to change a USB 1.0 or what ever into an 2.0 port, because its hardware and must be physically changed.How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
no u cant its ur hard ware in the laptop u cant just remove a older usb port and replace it with a 2.0 usb ... and usb ports and speeds are controlled by chips in ur mother board ...How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
2.0 refers to the type of hardware not software, you would have to replace the usb device completely. All usb things should be compatible with USB 1.1 ports as well, there might be something wrong with the usb port or disk drive.How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
I know why.

The laptop doesn't have enough power to run the disk, but the docking station has extra power source for the usb so can run the drive.

No you can not upgrade your usb1 (if that is what it is) to usb2 (or 3). The hardware is different.How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
Go to their support area for the product and get a firmware update if it is available. You could email the company who made and ask their support direct, tell them the issue you are having.

HAIL HAIL 4 IN A ROWHow do I Change my USB port to 2.0?
Your port is USB2.0 it is the power drain that is the problem, as there is not enough power on the single port. I assume that the drive works on the docking station when the Mains Power unit is in place. After all the Docking station has Three more Ports, and needs more power on the 5 volt rail.

DynDNS when to use, how it works?

Dear Experts,

I would like to know what is DynDNS and give any appropriate example for its use. What understanding I have right now is that it is used when we do not have a real IP , and we want to reach our remote device for example camera then this service is used.

I have confusion that this DynDNS works with Dynamic Public IP addresses OR it also works when there is a Dynamic Private IP?

I have a DSL connection at home and the private IP in my DSL modem on WAN port changes when ever there is a disconnection OR reboot of modem. If I have a IP camera connected to one of the Ethernet ports at back of my modem how it can be reached when there is no real IP.

Please guide me.

Thanks %26amp; Regards,

WajeehDynDNS when to use, how it works?
A dynamic DNS service will only resolve to your publicly visible IP - to get access to devices behind your NAT you'll need to configure port forwarding appropriately on your router. Typically, you will also need a computer behind it to periodically update the dynamic DNS server as to your current IP but some routers can be configured to do this for themselves.DynDNS when to use, how it works?
DNS is a service that maps host names to the IP address.

Static DNS entries are used for host names where the IP Address never changes

Dynamic DNS entries are used for host names where the IP address is Dynamically assigned. Dynamically assigned IP Addresses are %26quot;real%26quot; they are just not permanently associated to the same machine. They may change over time.DynDNS when to use, how it works?
Our DynDNS service allows you to have a hostname, such as wajeeh.dyndns.org, that maps to the current external IP address for your location. You can use the update client in your router, or download our software client to keep the IP address up-to-date: http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/

Once you do that, you're set with our services. If you're having problems connecting to your device/server after setting this up, check out our troubleshooting guide:

Question on How do we use a Proxy?

Hi,

I saw a video on http://www.plentyoftorrents.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=167 that you simply have to put an IP and use the port 8080. But does it means that if I have the ip of a friend of mine, and use 8080 as port(change in connection on firefox), does it work as if i'm using anonymously the internet of my friend?? I don't really get it...Question on How do we use a Proxy?
The port 8080 is used for proxies so don't change it.

The Ip address must belong to a server which is meant to act as a proxy. If you don't want any technical nuances you can use proxy softwares instead, I use Hide-Ip-Platinum, it select the proxy for me though it's somewhat slow.

http://www.hide-ip-soft.com/Question on How do we use a Proxy?
You can check out a list of proxy servers from http://www.freeproxy.ru/en/free_proxy/cg

Google it, and you'll have lots to choose from.

I've tried this - it works, but it's slow.

In IE/Firefox, under the network section, you can add in a proxy address. Just key in any proxy server address, and your surfing will be routed via the proxy server.Question on How do we use a Proxy?
hello i have this article that will give you enough knowledge on proxy and proxy sites that can give you access to some block sites.

I need a little bit of help with Utorrent. a small speed error..?

First of all, my bandwidth at the moment will let uttorrent download my stuff at like 90kbs the fastest. but i got home after about a week and started up my internet and it was going pretty slow. like 20 kbs. so i looked on youtube and saw how to speed it up, i'm sure you've seen it. change the port, change this, change that. and my download went back to like 80 kbs. i was like wow that's great. :P

for whatever rason i can't remember i restarted my computer and now uttorent is going about 5kbs a second. it's bullshit.

i knwo i should portforward utorrent but no matter how long i spend on it or how hard i try, it won't ******* portforward. i mean i'm not incredibly smart on computers, but on scale from 1-10 i'm at least a 7.

i just can't portforward and i want my kbs back up to 90 kbs or higher :(

any help?I need a little bit of help with Utorrent. a small speed error..?
The speed of your download with UTorrent is measured by the ratio and amount of seeders and leechers. The more seeders to leechers, the faster your download will be. I'd recommend at least a 2:1 seeders to leachers ratio and having at least 50 seeders for that torrent to ensure fast downloads. Hope this helps.I need a little bit of help with Utorrent. a small speed error..?
not 100% how to port forward but you need to log into your router thing provided by your internet providor but are most likely getting low speed because not a lot of people are seeding. all torrent are different, some fast,some slowI need a little bit of help with Utorrent. a small speed error..?
If this tutorial doesn't help, nothing will:

http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTo

Sometimes your ISP will throttle BitTorrent traffic. Also speed is greatly dependent on the number of Seeds and Peers.I need a little bit of help with Utorrent. a small speed error..?
yeah your best bet is to find out the IP of your router. might be

192.168.0.1 and look underneath the router for the login details login via http so open a browser and type http://192.168.0.1 and type in login details then set a port you want to forward for bittorrent/utorrent and forward it in the router. restart the router so it takes effect and it should be going faster again. btw u might also find out the IP on the bottom of the router or side.

I tried to plug in the microphone and it doenst work.??????/?

I had found osmething before to get the microphone to work but now it doesn't. The sound recorder doesn't work either. I think I need to change the ports maybe??? How do i get sound recorder and all to work. I can hear someone on yahoo but they can't hear me.I tried to plug in the microphone and it doenst work.??????/?
go into your volume control (in windows)

Click Options %26gt; Properties

It should be on playback. Change it to recording.

Make sure that Microphone is checked and the hit ok.

When it goes back to the main screen make sure that the checkbox under microphone is checked and also that the slider is up a bit so that it picks up some sound. This should do the trick assuming everything else is working (the mic, the soundcard, and that you have it plugged into the right port)

Hope this helps!I tried to plug in the microphone and it doenst work.??????/?
Did your mic come with an installation disk? If so, you might want to try reinstalling it.I tried to plug in the microphone and it doenst work.??????/?
Check if u have plugged in ur microphone into the correct port. (the green one is the correct port for microphone). Check if the microphone is muted in the volume manager.I tried to plug in the microphone and it doenst work.??????/?

How do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?

I know pretty much nothing about USB ports, sorry if this is a stupid question.How do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?
First -- it depends on what youre working with here.

What version of Windows.

If its Windows XP or above, and you plug USB 2 device that always functions as a USB 1.1, then you have to go into your bios settings and switch it up.

I have done this -- because XP supports USB 2 devices.

So for someone to say you have to change motherboard, or hard ware is only half right -- because it depends on your operating system if it supports USB 2.

If it does you must go into your BIOS settings and adjust that, because by default your motherboard might be set to the USB 12mb/sec transfer rate, rather than the highspeed USB.

What O.S. do you have?How do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?
usually people say thaty when u upgrade ur service pack 1 to 2, it automatically upgrades ur usb 1.0 to 2.0..but that is not true as it is a hardware issue. Just wanted to clear that for everyone. :)How do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?
usb hardware is embedded in the motherboard. to upgrade from usb 1.1 to 2.0, you would need to upgrade(change) your motherboardHow do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?
You cannot make a USB 1.0 port to work as a USB 2.0 port as its a hardware thing and the speed differs a lot. But some motherboards require that you install SP2(service pack 2) of Windows XP for some USB 2.0 ports to work at its actual speed. In case you don't install SP2, the same USB 2.0 ports work at the speed of USB 1.0.

Hope this helped.How do you change a USB 1 port to a USB 2 port? Is that a hardware thing or a softwear thing, how hard is it?
You can buy a USB 2.0 card that you can install in your computer.

There is no way to %26quot;convert%26quot; an existing USB 1.1 port to 2.0.

These cards are cheap - do a search on the net (eBay, etc.) and you'll find them pretty easily.

Can i change my usb1.1 ports to usb 2.0 ports?

if so how?Can i change my usb1.1 ports to usb 2.0 ports?
You cannot simply change a USB 1.1 port to a USB 2.0 port. If you have a desktop computer, you can purchase a USB PCI card, which will give you USB 2.0 ports. While USB 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 ports all look similar, they are different behind the scenes to give you the extra bandwidth support.

If you have a laptop and a PCMCIA slot, you can upgrade. If you have an expresscard slot, your computer should already have USB 2.0 slots.Can i change my usb1.1 ports to usb 2.0 ports?
Yes, all you need to do is buy a separate pci card for a 2.0 usb ports -usually holding 4 to 6 ports. Install in computer. Its very simple to do. Buy at url below for great deal unless you have a good pc store in town, but usually costs at stores are much more than online.Can i change my usb1.1 ports to usb 2.0 ports?
nopeCan i change my usb1.1 ports to usb 2.0 ports?
u will need to physically change out the ports with the usb 2.0 ports. by y 2.0 just wait and deal with it for a little longer because usb 3.0 is coming out soon which will double the transfer rate compared to the usb 2.0. Hope this helps

My Zune isn't loading. I think the battery and/or software is having problems. Any suggestions?

I was listening to music and the Zune said it had plenty of battery left, but suddenly it died. When I tried turning it on, it showed the loading screen and then went black. I plugged it into my computer, and it shows the loading screen, the white bar filling up, and then it goes black again. It does this repeatedly no matter how long I leave the Zune plugged in. Given that it's been plugged in for 24 hours now, the loading screen lasts longer than it did at first, yet the Zune still won't actually work. I've tried opening the software, closing the software, unplugging the Zune, changing USB ports. The computer isnt recognizing the Zune as being plugged into a USB port. The Zune also won't load when its not plugged in. I think that's everything. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If you need more info, just ask. Thanks so much in advance.My Zune isn%26039;t loading. I think the battery and/or software is having problems. Any suggestions?

Problem with utorent!?

When i started utorrent i checked the port to see if it was right and it said it was correct now im currently at 89.1% completed the download and it stoped moving, the port says that it is incorrect why did the port change and how do i fix this.Problem with utorent!?
hi

this problem was mine a few days ago i tried this

Go to Options | Preferences.

Click on Connections and uncheck the %26quot;Randomize port each time uTorrent starts%26quot; checkbox.

try to pause or stop and run again

restart the Utorrent

check your firewall maybe it is blocking itProblem with utorent!?
Go to Options | Preferences.

Click on Connections and uncheck the %26quot;Randomize port each time uTorrent starts%26quot; checkbox.Problem with utorent!?
...and check under connection 2 and 4

=UPnP and NAT-PMP

if your icon is red or yellow and not green ,maybe firewall is blocking U torrent.You should put u torrent under exeptions

smarty do not copy/%26amp;paste from other users!

--------------------------------------?br>
randomizing port -you can leave this unchecked but it s good to have port over 50000 even better over 60000.

check all of three other check boxes under connections.

=UPnP and NAT-PMP and firewall thing.

tell me what color is your lightProblem with utorent!?
AYA

I never heard of a warning about an incorrect port BUT the optimal settings for utorrent are here

http://triponic.com/guidestutorials/opti

To me it looks like the seeder of your torrent has stopped seeding it, go to to web site where you selected this download and see if there are any recent comments stating the same problem you have (download stopped at 89.1%). It also happens if the torrent is too old and with close to none seeders.

Good Luck!!

How do i change my external monitor from cloning the primary to acting as a secondary display (on a laptop)?

I have an HP Pavilion xf328 with XP and a VGA-out in the back. so the laptop has the built in screen, and i have plugged in a 17%26quot; lcd to the external port. when i change the mode so it outputs to both the internal and external lcd's, it just clones the primary display, however i want to be able to use it as a secondary display so i can hook it up to a projector and use some presentation software over the secondary display, and control the program via the primary display. i looked in the display props, but it will not register as having a secondary monitor hooked up, i installed the drivers that came with the laptop and the display props do mention:

%26quot;Display:

(Multiple Monitors) on S3 Graphics TwisterK HP%26quot;

but wont let me enable the secondary, or anything really related to configuring the secondary as far as i can tell...

...any ideas?How do i change my external monitor from cloning the primary to acting as a secondary display (on a laptop)?
Click on Control Panel then Display then Settings. You should see two virtual monitors labeled 1 and 2. Click on 2 and then click on %26quot;Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor%26quot;. This option will be located right above Identify, Troubleshoot, and Advanced. Now minimize any program you have up and drag it onto the 2nd monitor.How do i change my external monitor from cloning the primary to acting as a secondary display (on a laptop)?
Make sure you connect your external monitor to your laptop and power it on before you power up your laptop, that will let Windows XP recognize the external monitor. Now, when you go to Display Properties-%26gt;Settings, you should see your external monitor and can set it to its native resolution (for a sharp picture). Be sure you select extending your display to the 2nd monitor.

BTW, you can drag the icon for your 2nd monitor to either the left or the right, and that will use your external to extend from the left or the right of your laptop display.

My internet is down....How long does it take Verizon to change wires in a port?

My internet has been down for over a week and Verizon keeps saying they need to change the wires in a port at their main office. Please it can't take this long to change. I mean do i have to call them every 2 hours to check the status of the change to get this done or what? This is the most incompetent company i have ever been with.My internet is down....How long does it take Verizon to change wires in a port?
A week is excessive.

ESCALATE your complaint.My internet is down....How long does it take Verizon to change wires in a port?
if they have not provided you service for a whole week. tell them your lawyer (not me im not a lawyer) has told you you are owed your month of fees back. assuming your account is in good standing with them, they'll grant this to shut you up and keep you from running full steam to their competition.

They are not permitted to charge you for services they have failed to provide.

One week is 25% of a billing cycle. this is beyond the %26quot;oops we messed up%26quot; limit.
