    Making a home network secure

    In some, yes. In others, second to the usual suspect. But with the built-in security features turned on, it's not bad. There are a lot actually. :) For example, 3 off the top of my head: http://annvix.org/ http://www.engardelinux.org/ http://www.openwall.com/

    Computer won't boot and no POST

    Try a different PSU and see if it posts in that case. I've had bad luck with Antec the last few years, and a few even caught fire in the last PSU shootout I read.

    Computer won't boot and no POST

    The first thing I would suspect is the PSU. Of course, when a PSU fails utterly, they have a nasty habbit of taking out other components with them. What's the make and model of your PSU?

    Making a home network secure

    Macs don't generally get viruses, as they have better security by design than Windows. But if you really care about security, consider migrating to Linux. It's fast, light, and doesn't need an antivirus.

    Helpzor. Packet Loss ??

    Um, you have the location of the internet backwards... but I see what you're trying to say. :P I was just trying to make sure that the router was correctly deployed on your network. The images you posted are for wifi, which doesn't really have anything to do with the problem you're seeing. The...

    Helpzor. Packet Loss ??

    So it goes something like this, right? Computer -> Linksys -> Cable modem -> Internet Make sure the WAN interface of your router is not set to half-duplex, be it manually or automatically. A half duplex connection will cause collisions, which necessitate TCP retransmissions, and outright...

    Helpzor. Packet Loss ??

    What I mean is what type of device has the IP 192.168.1.1? A cable modem, router, etc?

    Helpzor. Packet Loss ??

    There is no packet loss when you ping your next hop (cable modem? cheap plastic router thingy?)... this means your PC is not the problem, the packet loss is coming from somewhere between your next hop and the sites you're pinging. What's your next hop?

    Helpzor. Packet Loss ??

    Please ping your next hop (looks like 192.168.1.1) 100 times or so and post the stats here.

    Major Upgrades. So confusing...

    OK, here you go... OK. Are you gaming? If so, the 8800GTX is extremely low-end and you'll do well to replace it. If not, don't bother overclocking it. It will never be a good gaming card; see here: Comparison of Nvidia graphics processing units - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yeah, that's...

    scanning MAC and found one with 2 IPs

    Think of it this way. An IP address is just an address. If you use the postal service as a metaphor, you could have a physical mailing address (your apartment) and a tertiary mailing address (a post office box). Both are valid addresses, and you can get mail from both. Make sense?

    scanning MAC and found one with 2 IPs

    Yes, you can have as many IPs on one physical adapter as you want.

    The Official HWF Kernel Repo

    No new kernels today, just an update. Those of you who follow Linux kernel development may have noticed that 2.6.33 was released a few days ago, but it hasn't been packaged yet by HWF. There's a reason for that. There are some rather serious performance regressions in this build, so I'm holding...

    The Official HWF Kernel Repo

    I'm not applying any patches at this point, just compiling from vanilla sources. BFS is a very simplistic scheduler, and it probably works pretty well in many desktop conditions. However, thanks to the help of the x264 creator, CFS has actually improved substantially since BFS was written...

    The Official HWF Kernel Repo

    Kernel 2.6.30.5 available What's that I hear you ask? No new bugfix builds against 2.6.32? Au contraire! 2.6.32.9 is built and currently syncing with the server. If you're running a HWF kernel, upgrade or you will die in a horrible way might run into bugs that were already fixed. Click here...

    Mkdir folder with older date

    If you want an arbitrary date, just use the -d flag and give it a string like YYYY-MM-DD: $ date -d 2010-02-19 Tue Feb 19 00:00:00 PST 2010 Or if you want "yesterday" (for example, in an automated script), it's date -d "1 days ago" That would make your command something like: mkdir...
