I'm about to go out and buy Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos. Was wondering if anyone has played it, and more importantly played the multiplayer. Is it worth getting? I'm a huge fan of the original, but have been cautious of sequels. Let me know

I guess the best way for you is to go ahead and buy a router/switch combo like the Netgear RT314 or another brand, though i recommend the Netgear stuff. I'm assuming you have an "always on" connection where you dont have to log on manually. This is probably one of the easier ways to share a ...

You can bind the Nic's to both protocols, it usually works fine. Also what ISP are you using? Find out if they have a dsl/router offer. most do for business dsl. Plus they are required to support their dsl modem/router. Leaving you more options when something goes wrong, and only one place to call.

If anyone cares to know. i ended up calling netgear tech. after bout half an hour of ****ing around we found out that (for reasons only known to forces we can never comprehend) the firmware had been corrupted or damaged. so when i upgraded it, that didnt help. i had to load the rom0 file and reload ...

My friend has a netgear rt314 at his office, it stopped working for some reason. The router responds to both the http and telnet. for some reason it can't obtain a WAN IP. I've tried forcing a renewel in telnet, but to no avail. Also, attempted powercycling, erasing and reinstalling firmware. Its ...

a data collision is when two or more nodes(PC or other) send data at the same time. This usually happens in a high activity ethernet enviroment. if it blinks alot of the time consistently, and affects the networks performance. then you should look into it. if it only blinks randomly every once and a ...

NFS 5 porsche unleashed runs rock solid on win2k. it also is a very cool game. its been out for a while. but its the only racing game ive tested on win2k. im an FPS man myself.

gamespy, ive used it for years. always works great and supports a load of games. also i recomment paying 20 bucks for the registered version. gives you extra options.

ive tried hosting games here with my netgear rt314. the linky and netgear really cant do this very well. ive only seen it work with the Netopia. so i wouldnt get too frustrated about hosting games, cause even if you succeed with the setup. it will most likely be unplayable. if you look through the ...

Ive only seen a few of the 3com routers, they seem to work great. i personally have the netgear rt314. which hasnt had a single problem, and ive beaten the poor thing without mercy. either one i think is just as good to buy. if you feel more comfortable with a big name like 3com, then go for it.

The easiest way i think to set that up is to have all eight PC's using the same workgroup with 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.10 with the same subnetmasks of 255.255.255.0 or whatever. using the 16port netgear. if you have two cable modems i assume you were given two static IP's for them. if you know ...

what are your network settings? Are you using a Router or ICS(or other software)? this info will help us troubleshoot with you.

very close. it does have to with the propagation on the signal down the line. think of the worst case scenario and thats why its 64bytes.

to add real quick. Netgear was a subdivision of bay networks. which is now part of nortel. basically they have a better backing and a large stock pile enterprise level technology that they can stuff into the netgear routers. take last generations enterprise level NAT and put it in the home and small ...

one thing slurpie. if you want to try this and arent scared of a fine or jail. some where on you property or close by. there is a "canary" this little box basically converts fiber optic to cat5 to continue the transmission. since my brother works for a large county IT department we got a hold of a ...

woops, sorry i forgot to mention he's using a netgear rt314. so i dont know about the linky. plus some techsupport guys are morons, so i wouldnt trust what they told you.

Hey slurpie,
My brother has that same connection with Bellsouth. It should be using PPPoE. He has a router at his place and it works fine. Actually pretty quick. they limit your bandwith outside your house, but you will have half the latency of most other regular dsl that have to hop along copper ...

Real quick question. i wanted to know if anyone can answer this. The minimum frame ethernet can send is 64 bytes(octets). Why is this? 2 hints. it has to do with the CD in CSMA/CD. And the old 10Base5 ethernet's 5-4-3 rule. If you think im insane thats ok. my boss asked me this and i figured it out ...

Hey Chrosby. Well you can install NIC cards in each of the PC's and use ICS if you have Win98SE on the PC with the modem or another type of software. This probably wont work because the Internal modem you have does downstream only and its an ISA card that basically sucks. Or you can call Adelphia ...

this depends if your exchange server is receiving all the mail first. if you have a static ip and the exchange server is setup as your internal mail server for all the mail for you domain or whatever, then you have to configure exchange to be able to work offline as well. if exchange server has lost ...

yeah dude, netgear rt 314/311 or if you a security freak the fr314

adelphia is my service provider as well, so all i need to know is what modem they gave you. is it a surfboard 3100 or 3100D(external ones that use a network card to connect to your PC) or is it one of the internal ones? let me know. there are different ways to do it, as you've seen. but your options ...

if you still have norton internet security installed. you need to configure it for the lan. by default it will shut the lan connection down and leave the internet up. im trying to think of where to go in internet security, to enable it. i cant remember, look in the manual. if not ill try to look it ...

The only good switch for NLB(Network Load Balancing) is the Alteon 180E, good luck finding one though. Nortel just bought them. They will do everything you want it to do. Just hope you have a 6 channel frame relay....AT YOUR HOUSE. Whatever your doing there that requires Load Balancing, is too much ...

the linksys and kingston NIC's use alot of CPU cycles to do most of their work. you might have a fast PC negating this point. But my friend had this problem with his linksys NIC and i popped in an Intel Pro 100+ adapter and his pings went down by a little more than half. If i were you i would just ...

Whats the error message? It can't say "i dont accept that NIC" does it detect it? Do you have a free IRQ? Have you done anything to the protocols on the DSL NIC? Let us know what exactly it says.

i downloaded the beta for the halflife fix. For the most part it works fine, occasionally it will look-up halflife when im refreshing servers, but once out of a hundred maybe. Its better than not playing CS at all. Just make sure the RT314 Rebooted by itself after the transfer. it should run fine

does anyone know the steps to opening the napster port on the netgear rt314?

I finally figured it out. I had to wait like 20 minutes after my modem had connected. apparently, Adelphia had problems with there CMTS(Big surprise, since they seem to suck beyond all control). I fixed the problem with not being able to connect to the modems html menu with the Firmware update to ...

I just got my rt314. Its connected to my Surfboard 3100D Cable modem, and my service provider is Adelphia. After i installed it, i checked that it had obtained the Wan IP, it did. But when i browse i can do the dns look up but i never connect to the ip address. i tried to ping in the command prompt ...

I have 4 of those Adapters, I dont know where you can by the wake-on lan cables. If you want to know all the info on them gohere. I'm sorry i cant answer everything, but there isnt enough room on what all the things that card can do.
