Answer» Hello everyone, (OH MY GOD! DO YOU STILL USE A 15" CRT MONITOR??? It's "ancient" even in third world countries...) HEY! Back off the CRT crowd, not all of us have Mommy and Daddy around to buy us the new flash 19" LCD TFT screens, and not all of us have more money than sense. But to the OP, have you tried installing the driver that originally came with the machine, it'll be on a disc you got with the computer, seeing as you can't connect for long enough to d/l the newer ones. If not, then try d/ling it on another machine, and burning it to disk, and doing things that way.Hi all, Thanks for your help.Really appreciate you all taking some time out to help others. I tried reinstalling the driver many times but nothing much happens. I am trying to configure a LAN (Home Network ) with my laptop. The laptop has got no problems with its network card. The Huawei router is for accessing the net ( Broadband). It works intermittently , how I dont know , the only thing is that when some trouble occurs ... the LAN cord when not connected on both ends still shows that LAN is connected and working properly when infact it should be showing that "A cable is unplugged ". Heres the ip config : Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : SMIT Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-07-95-D0-49-42 Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Huawei MT882 USB Remote Network Device Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0F-A3-51-A4-52 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 61.1.96.69 61.1.96.71 PS: Why would one need to buy an LCD if a CRT would suffice . My personal experience with a CRT is better than LCD .... has reduction in clarity when viewed at angles. And we dont need 50 " screens for doing coding or some other basic work.abt the TFT screens ... personally no need ...wud get one when I earn some bucks myselfI would try a brand new PCI NIC card...there pretty reasonable.Ditto Patio. Replace the NIC. Alan <>< Quote from: Sid on June 01, 2007, 12:21:28 PM Quote from: viking on May 30, 2007, 12:30:36 AM(OH MY GOD! DO YOU STILL USE A 15" CRT MONITOR??? It's "ancient" even in third world countries...) Oh, well... Not my "Mommy and Daddy" bought me LCDs. Your EYES, your money, your opinion. I strongly advise to replace that old monitor with a newer one, preferably LCD. NOTE: this is my opinion! I can tell you that even LCD's have flicker, and if you dont' have good hardware you may even say that's it's much more annoying than the old crt. In this summer I will check a BenQ T720 with a Nvidia GeForce MX 440, on a Duron 700 which is 7 years old (the Duron computer/videocard, not the LCD). A 19" LCd it's near 200 USD (I suppose you live in the US; I'm living in Romania, a poor country in east Europe), a 17" it's close to 100 USD (and in Romania the prices are higher than in USA). A 15" CRT you won't even find here. Oh, well, maybe at 2nd hand - MAYBE! The smallest monitors I see are 17" crt's at least. Which have a viewable area of an 15" LCD, which costs 100 USD - in Romania, where a 7600 gt it's about 150 USD, very close to 200 USD and over. comwizz: "media disconnected" Check the cable, please.Quote from: viking on June 03, 2007, 11:57:34 PM Quote from: Sid on June 01, 2007, 12:21:28 PMQuote from: viking on May 30, 2007, 12:30:36 AM(OH MY GOD!

I'm in the UK, and don't have the dosh lying around to blow on pointless upgrades, but anyway.[Off topic] If I want something to be good at my computer, really good, then I want the monitor. It is not a pointless upgrade, I thought I am doing a service if I point out something what I consider to be a problem at his computer. I do not intend to offense with my opinions, anyone is free to not agree. Sid, I'm apologizing if I said something wrong. [/Off topic] |
