Can I assume that part of the xdsl install kit will be a sheet that lists the various IP addys for the servers I will need to use? Servers like POP, Mail, SMTP, Login(?), DNS, etc. I'm checking through my old Verizon credentials to see what I have/rcvd. If not, do I cause any trouble if I spend t

I have an older WD drive that has that whining sound and I absolutely agree that it is noisy and irritating. I put that in an external case and only use it for backups... but even the 10-15 minutes that it is usually on, it grates at me. I have several of the newer 400GB and 500GB WD drives and tru

Thanks, Richard. That's exactly what I did for that home machine. Just going to a slightly younger drive killed that high-pitched whine. I have a new CPU cooller (Nexus) and new case fans to put in this weekend. I made huge progress on my office PC. Took out the loud PS, replaced the CPU coo

If you use a gateway router you only need one address. Also, Network will be semi secured :) But if you decide to go the way your thinking, they give you a list of addresses you can use. You can use those addresses anyway you like. Regards, Tim "The Beave" Lider E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN:

You should get either an email or a sheet with that info. Alternately, they probably have a website with that information, or you could ask someone on DSLReports.com. DHSinclair wrote: Can I assume that part of the xdsl install kit will be a sheet that lists the various IP addys for the serve

Thanks Tim, Was hoping this was the case, but needed to ask the collective anyway. 73 faqs later I have some good and some notsogood info to ponder. More q's to come... LOL! Amazing how complex this stuff has gotten! Or, maybe it is just my AAADD (age-affected-attention-deficit-disorder)!!

OK Tim, Believe the router is a "gateway" router. Maybe not. How would I know? From my LAN's perspective, I am treating it as my "gateway." All my clients have the router's IP addy as their "gateway" on the tcp/ip tab. In any case, I now have the IP addys I think I need. Some make sense, some

Eudora should work with your provider, they just do not support it but settings are settings in any email program AFAIK. Or at least I can not imagine it not working. Using Eudora 7.1.0.9. My only complaint is it is slow to load 1st thing in the morning for some reason. Rest of the day OK fp At

Well it is quite simple. After you select your DSL modem and Gate Router. I myself use Linksys Cable Modem, Linksys 4 Port/Wireless-N Router and a 8 port 1GB Switch. The 1GB switch is for the high speed transferring and streaming data off of itunes server. Good luck in the setup, Tim "The Beave"

Sad, but very true. My last buy of some "old" EDO RAM was painful. But, happy to even find it (probably pulls). No matter. My last pending painful buy will be the registered-EDO-buffered-ECC ram for my server. This will be fun and expensive! Only have to do it once though! LOL! Duncan At 19
