RE: [H] Looking for DSL Router with super manage firewall interna l
On the hardware firewall front... After using my Linksys wrt54gs w/ Sveasoft Satori for a few months now, I enthusiastically recommend it as a firewall/router. It's running IPtables, a compact no-hassle appliance, and highly configurable if you want it to be. So why waste a full blown PC running linux? What are people opinions on this (Linksys WRV54G): http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33scid=35prid=565 It doesn't seem to have had very good reviews, but I am interested in it because of the VPN function and the security. Some of the reviews say The newer firmware is much better. The information in this electronic mail message is sender's business Confidential and may be legally privileged.

[H] [OT-AV] Combo Units?
Looking to replace/update a VCR and DVD player with a combo unit. Shelf space is getting tight. Asking for suggestions on brands and/of models I might look at/for? Bargains are okay, but looking for reasonable quality (if possible). Current DVD player is Phillips DVD-Q50. Current VCR is JVC S7600U. Both bought on recc's from this list. Both will continue to do service in the garage :) Thanks. Best, Duncan This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net

Unless you go high end, you may find limited options in each function. The DVD, in particular, had limited search capabilities, limited fast forward speeds Like an enduro motorcycle doesn't do either well; poor street performance and poor dirt performance. Best luck, Al To wives, and sweethearts. May they never meet.

Adobe cold flash giving you hot flashes? Guess CF is going through menopause! What does either company have that can replace Coldfusion Thane? I've been out of the loop for 4 years but know that CF as a service run under java based MX(?) app server now and that job offers requesting CF skills are few far between these days.

Re: [H] Who knew? Adobe buys Macromedia
Adobe bought Syntrillium about 1 1/2 years ago, absorbing and upgrading Cool Edit Pro and renaming it Adobe Audition. In just this one area, I respect Adobe for choosing to "absorb" a high-quality app and actually making it better. AA is as good as CEPro was, and offers many more options.

Re: [H] Who knew? Adobe buys Macromedia
Oh, I still have lots of apps that are exclusively cold fusion. Cold Fusion's biggest benefits had nothing to do with Java, and everything to do with the integration of multiple SQL sources to multiple SQL outputs, including a much cleaner implimentation of access to Oracle then most ASP offerings.

Re: [H] Who knew? Adobe buys Macromedia
This much I knew since I was a CF developer up till the 4.5 version in 2001, I was wondering what Macromedia had done to it since and then what would adobe would do with it.

Re: [H] Who knew? Adobe buys Macromedia
The biggest thing macromedia did was to have instant generation of flash and better use of exterior executables. However, some of the best reasons to use CF4.5 ENT didn't get much flushing out; writing plugins for CF became more taboo and Macromedia didn't endorse them nearly as much, which was a pain in the ass because it meant you had to craft your own widgets rather then easily share codebase. However, the integration of management of flash, improved browser detection and layout rules, RSS support management, and a few other features did help the product as well.. but the most important parts have went largely unchanged.

Re: [H] Who knew? Adobe buys Macromedia
The one thing that will be interesting is that you take two of the largest vector postscript programs out there.. really, the only ones of consequence, and you fold them under the same roof (Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand). Only one of those products will survive (IMHO). Also, I feel this almost kills Adobe Motion in favor of enhancing Macromedia Flash; and you've also got market competing forces in Dreamweaver (with a larger market share) to Adobe GoLive! -Original message- From: Thane Sherrington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 12:39:34 -0500 To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Who knew?

[H] Out of sync audio on a pc
I have an xvid avi file I just finished creating and on one machine in my house it plays just fine, but on the other the audio is seriously out of sync. Any idea what would cause this to happen? Could it be a codec setting or one installed wrong? -- Brian
[H] File and Printer Sharing issues
I have 2 machines on my network, both running XP SP2. Both have shared drives/folders on the network. My main machine can mount the shared drives of the TIVO box, but the TIVO cannot access the shared drives of the main machine. I have file and printer sharing enabled, shares created, and even created an account for the TIVO on my main machine. But as soon as I try and browse to the main machine I get a \\Tbird is not accessible...etc. error. They are both in the same workgroup. Ideas? -- Brian

RE: [H] Firefox 1.03 out
Well I tried it - but still like Opera's look, feel and operation, and download speed a lot better. A small number of sites don't like Opera and tell me I have to upgrade to I. Explorer or Netscape. Firefox doesn't seem to have a problem with those sites (or vice versa). Otherwise IMO Opera is more configurable, has more features, killer download speeds and creates all new pages in tabs. In 'open in a new page' Firefox creates another separate window instead of automatically adding a tab. I also found Firefox's download box to be a PIA. But I would otherwise agree that Firefox is 100x better than Explorer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 12:59 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Firefox 1.03 out At 10:27 AM 17/04/2005, warpmedia wrote: After searching a bit and not looking deeper they seem to be making headway.

Re: [H] File and Printer Sharing issues
Windows firewall blocking you? have you tried accessing via \\tbrid\c$ using an admin account? When all else fails, drop to cmd prompt run net use \\tbird\c$ /user:adminusersname. If you get an error code, post it back here. /user: because if the *logged in* account on TIVO may not match user pw logged into TBIRD. So creating an account is not going to help if you're not logging in as that account or specifying it explicitly. Brian Weeden wrote: I have 2 machines on my network, both running XP SP2.

[H] XP File sharing issues
Hey folks, I've got a bizzare issue. 2 machines, PC1 and PC2, both with SP2, fully patched, same workgroup, both using identical local user account names and passwords to log in. Simple filesharing is turned off. I create shares on PC1 like Games etc (\\PC1\Games) and am able to access them just fine via PC2. However, I do not see all folders or files. I'll see some or no files/folders listed. If I didn't know what directory structure to look for, I wouldn't have been able to type the full location manually to access the folder. What's up with this weird behavior?
