    Increasing the WLAN card's reception sensitivity a bit

    You could add a wireless repeater on your end to amplify the signal for your laptop. In such a situation, you'd strategically position your repeater in such a way that it has good signal from your upstream wifi provider. Then your laptop will only have to connect to your repeater rather than the...

    Hardware Instability? Try this first!

    Is your system randomly crashing, rebooting, freezing, etc? Please try the following suggestions before posting a new thread: Consider the make & model of your PSU. A cheap, generic, or underspecified PSU can be the cause of many stability-related issues or even damage other components. As...

    Corrupted OS

    What is the make & model of your PSU? Have you tried running Memtest86+ overnight? Have you sniffed around the motherboard for bad caps?

    Need a new NIC card - Need advice

    Some Broadcom NICs are great (keep in mind they make the ASICs in a lot of Cisco gear), but some are horrible. I've heard that some Broadcom NICs have so many hardware bugs the drivers do more work than the cards. That being the case, it makes more sense to just go Intel. I usually buy my...

    Two Routers on the same IP range

    Hmmm, what are you trying to accomplish? Also, is it possible to configure your ADSL modem as a pure bridge (thus disabling its router features)?

    I cannot type the "s" key

    Please post once only per issue, thanks. It seems like a Windows problem to me, but that's easy to verify for sure. Just download and burn a live Linux distro then boot to it. If it happens in Linux too, it's hardware. If not, it's Windows.

    Downloaded Internet Explorer 8 As Advised by YouTube. Now Youtube is Not Working

    IE is the slowest, least standards compliant and most insecure browser currently in use. Why not just put it aside and use Firefox, Chrom(ium), Opera, et al?

    Apache custom error pages

    Like I said, the path is relative to your webroot, not absolute. Keep in mind that's relative to your web root, *not* your vhost. AFAIK the only way to use an absolute path is in URL format: ErrorDocument 403 http://anti-trend.homelinux.org/403.html ErrorDocument 404...

    Apache custom error pages

    Error message paths are relative to your web root. You could either adjust that, or use the absolute path as a URL. For example: 403: It's a secret to everybody. A 404 appeared! 500 error caused critical damage! I am 503 error.

    System unstable problem

    What's the make and model of your PSU? If in doubt, post a picture of the PSU's sticker. Have you tried running Memtest86+ on your machine overnight? Any errors? Did you thoroughly check the motherboard for bad capacitors? Have you tried disconnecting the new burner, moving it to a different...

    Wireless performance

    Looks like it's in non-free: ...Or you could just download the latest source from madwifi.org and build it yourself. :) They do have rather good instructions on how to build and install it in Debian IIRC. http://madwifi-project.org/

    Wireless performance

    For a chipset of that age, you might try madwifi and see how it works for you.

    Wireless performance

    I've got a similar chipset on my ATOM-based mini-ITX media center, which is running Debian Lenny and the ATOM kernel from the HWF repos. The wireless reception on that chipset is *sweet* in 2.6.32.xx. Which kernel are you running on your Deb box? EDIT: I take it back, it seems to be a more...

    At my wit's end (random lockups)

    You can surf the web, watch some movies, maybe play some games... Not sure what you normally do on your computer, but Linux is a full-featured OS. :) Another nice thing is that if you do end up seeing something weird from within Linux, you can run the 'dmesg' command, which displays the kernel...

    At my wit's end (random lockups)

    Try another overnight run of Memtest86+ and see if you catch any errors. Also inspect the motherboard and other components for bad capacitors, which can certainly cause instability. Finally, you can try running a live Linux distro (from CD, flash, whatever) for a day or so and see if you get any...

    What make and model is your current PSU? Also, have you run Memtest86+ overnight? If so, what were the results?

    Making a home network secure

    I don't understand his statement either, but I'll give my $0.02 on the underlying topic. Linux is secure because its a UNIX-like system, which was designed to be multi-user from the ground up. This means that good user-privilege separation isn't just a feature, it's part of its core design...
