Hmmmmmm, I saw one of those a while ago, and they looked interesting... but could possibly be snake-oil.. especially at the price..

By all accounts it provides some sort of multiboot system and network access. Might have to get one just to see what it does..

Thanks for the links. 'tis interesting. All that I can see on that card is an ATMEL-type 24cxx eeprom, another rom chip, and what is apparently a Winbond Ethernet chip, which seems odd because the instructions say to obtain the DOS network packet driver for your own network card in order to do the network stuff

Interesting but I just can't see it being effective otherwise the likes of MSI or Gigabyte (who like to put spare ROM chips on their motherboard for fun) would have integrated it into the motherboards. Unless it's patented

Still not sure where it stores the modified/unmodified data either.

Might have to get one too

I had a company try to sell me this idea (for lots of money I might add), and I couldn't get him to just tell me what it was, rather than how good it is.

I can only guess that it's an imaging system like TrueImage/Ghost, but running from ROM on that card. Presume it stores the images in a HPA area of the disk.

I read a mag afew weeks back that tested afew and Kerpaski ( sp? ) came out the best but think its about £25 or so. I have never used it though so may be best to go with tryed and tested!

Kaspersky used to be regarded as awesome, but then it got fat and bloated like Norton. I haven't looked at it since so maybe it's become light and efficient again

No idea then

Do you mean the thing that goes in the filler-neck so you can pass an ultra-thorough MOT & stop the girlfriend filling up with diesel?

I give AVG to people who don't want to pay and NOD32 to everyone else. I tried Avast for a while but it's no good because it expires after 60-something days and needs re-activating, which is still F.O.C but I tend to find people forget to do it and it stops working.

(that's anti-malware, i.e. antivirus, spyware, popupware etc.)

as for firewall, XP has a good enough software one built-in, and hardware wise using a router instead of a modem is better as they automatically act as inbound firewalls and can be configured as outbound firewalls too if needed.

SIZE OF THAT THING!

 

cant even shut the bonnet whats the point!

IIRC it was some guys who have some kind of friendly arrangement with Borg Warner, and the BW guys sent that big turbo over one day so they decided to give it a shot. There's a thread on here somewhere.

You get the maps for free anyway, using the Nokia Map downloader application which downloads to your PC then send them over to the phone.

What you have to pay for is the turn-by-turn navigation.

I just used TomTom with my bluetooth GPS receiver, worked well on the N95.

A UK/US motor should be ok due to them using MAF for fueling but a J-Spec which is MAP based the fueling will be out as the signal to the ECU will be modified.

I don't understand this MAP/MAF business, but I've been reliably informed that both cars run the injectors at 100% d/c at anything abouve 15psi (1bar).

Is it Ghostbusters 2?

Henry Ford?

I think it's fair to presume that nobody knows or nobody cares

Stop spoiling the fun!!

Sorry. I should qualify things I say properly instead of just posting half sentences and exaggerating and stuff, and not thinking properly before posting

Honestly though, I was like "uh? I've got BIG brakes! and better pads! damn!"

Carlos.. it sounds like you have tyres rubbing against your wheel arches or your brakes were locking up. You just get dust from brakes and you wouldnt see that from within the car.

When we got off the track and got out the car, there was smoke coming out of my wheels, and the discs had changed to a hot bluey tone!

Smoke from burned tyres or dust from the pads?

Smoke from glowing hot discs and pads I presume.

Smoke out of the wheel arches?

I suppose it was really coming out of the wheels, not the wheel arches. I was quite surprised though.

LOL

I really didn't think I'd figure that one out though, I mean.. it's not an easy one to google for really I don't think. Sort of thought I might eventually get it fixed by running a load of general tools and scripts and never actually finding the root cause.

I'm just glad I remembered where the 192.168.1.4 came from - at first I thought it was from a customers house the other day.

phew.

You can get back to your highly intellectual work now, cheers!

I've seen TCP/IP stack on Windowz do lots of odd things.

 

Was it DHCP or manually configured out of interest?

It was manually configured.

It's the mediasensing patch. There's a german page which points to the registry key here:

http://www.keyteam-board.to/wbb2/thread.php?postid=302583

Thank fuck for that. I never reformat for little problems, but I had to last week because d3d acceleration just was not going to work, and I tried *all* the known culprits, so I'd have been really pissed off if I wasn't able to figure this one out as well.

I'd already tried downgrading the NIC driver since I remember windows update giving me a newer one a little while ago.

Ho hum. Thought something really odd was going on for a minute.

I just had a brainstorm. When I was flashing the DBox, it told me something in german about a mediasense patch that it had applied.

I thought nothing of it and just carried on anyway.

Seems some NICs have problems detecting a link to these DBoxes with their half-duplex 10baseT connection, hence the need for a 'mediasense patch' (which I didn't need.. mine just worked..)

I guess that'll be the culprit here then. Phew!

Here's a weird one.

My laptop is/was having connectivity issues - no problem getting to the router here, and the router could ping t'internet, also I could do DNS lookups, but nothing else.

Anyhow, I can see what's wrong, I just can't understand why.

XP hasn't err, fully realised that the LAN cable has been unplugged - it shows as 'Network cable unplugged' in network connections, and the red-cross in the system tray, but if I do an ipconfig, I see the following:

Windows IP Configuration

       Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

The WLAN here (girlfriends house) is on 192.168.2.0/24.

192.168.1.0/24 was temporarily set on the LAN connection whilst I was reprogramming my Dbox2 cable box on Sunday.

The weirdest thing is that I have the ethernet cable unplugged though.

So XP isn't fully realising that the network cable is unplugged and the routing table isn't being updated accordingly. The routing table therefore looks like this:

Strange huh. I'm just disabling the ethernet entirely for now whilst I figure it out. I'll probably try the usual netsh int ip reset stuff, maybe winsockxpfix and what not, but I just thought it was really weird and definately not something I've ever seen happen.

Anyone else seen this?

Are TRD fast road pads better?

I would've thought that if you were *really* going for it, then no road pads would be any good.

But then, you don't need to be hammering it all the time do you, especially if it's an amateur day.

I went to an amateur day and the chap who was showing me how you're meant to do it had bucketloads of smoke pouring out of my wheel arches after a few laps with the CW fast road pads.

Of course when I drove around, there was none of that going on.

I suppose it depends how it's being driven, but the pads were not good enough when I went (someone else driving, obviously.. ). They aren't trackday pads so it's reasonable enough.

I have just requested the unlock code from Orange, and it'll be with me on email within the next week.

So, it looks like Gaz (Envy) is having the phone, once that code has come. If it doesn't go ahead then I'll post back here.

So the phone is basically a totally off-the-shelf phone now. It doesn't have the Orange logo printed on the phone anywhere, and the firmware is non-Orange version (off-the-shelf, latest version), and within the next week it'll not be sim-locked to Orange either.

That firmware release fixes all kinds of annoying things, battery life and the "out of memory" nonsense that pops up if you want to take a photo or use the Internet. I can't have it yet as the T-Mobile specific one isn't out yet

You could do what I did. Change you product code to Generic, then the Nokia Software Updater will update it with the generic firmware.

Unfortunately it seems the only way to remove the simlock is via asking Orange for code.
