I have identified two problems with my small (2-computer) home network that I think are related. I want to change, on one machine, from the wireless connection to a wired one because the machine is right next to the router and I think it should be significantly faster. HOWEVER, a) when I have the network cable plugged in (on this Toshiba laptop a program called ConfigFree automatically switches off WiFi when it sees a wired connection – same computer name, different IP) the computer "hangs" before showing icons on the desktop (unplugging the cable results in the computer then booting normally), and b) if I let the system boot up and THEN plug in the cable, the wired machine can use the internet, the WiFi machine can use files on the wired machine…but the wired machine can’t see files or print to the printer on the other machine. It can ping the other machine by IP or name. Is there a solution…or am I basically stuck with WiFi when I’d rather plug in?

anyone agree? see the world is getting too fast paced due to ever growing population of this world. industrial revolution and ideas of democracy supposed to bring convinience to this world but at the same time it doesnt included the idea of birth control so the result is overpopulation and we need to be fast at everything to cope with a world like this, then the next thing we know is a society where everyone is being an ass to each others like a society we live in now. to a certain extent it also caused world economic to crash.
to influence of bastiat: i dont agree with the idea "As the population grows the number in the work force is constantly growing". how can the society provide jobs to everyone when the world is overpopulated while technology continue to advance (which means certain jobs are going to be out of existance)? not to mention the competition that comes along with overpopulation.
D please stays on the topic. thank you.

If my Verizon dsl box has only one "out" for ethernet cable to computer, can I run that cable to the "in" of a wireless router box, then run ethernet cables out to different computers? May sound riciculous, but a box from Verizon with multiple "outs" is another one hundred dollars. We already have a wireless box that we do not use. Thankyou

Okay, I have nothing like the expertise of some of you. It is very impressive and you really know the subject.

Statistical correlations and significance are expressed as a number between 0 and 1 with zero being no confidence and 1 being 100% correlation. (actually this is between-1 and +1 but we are not dealing with negative correlations are we?)

I cannot find these numbers for the usual subjects in this category.

1.What is the correlation number for rise in temperature compared to CO2 in the atmosphere for a period greater than the last 100 years? (it is acceptable to break this down into 50 year increments because of nonlinearity)

2. What is the correlation number for fossil fuels burned versus increase in atmospheric CO2 over the last 150-200 years, or even the past 60 if the data are not available?

No one ever cites these tests for significance in their arguments. This question was stimulated by an answer to question saying the numbers had been put into an SPC program and showed temperature to be "in control" Applying industrial statistics is not going to show a lot in this area because those are generally tests for stability in a system and "in control" implies some sort of chart like IMR was used.

I don’t care if the method used was linear regression (for univariate) chi squared, ANOVA (for bivariate?) whatever. But if you know the tests please include them if not don’t worry about it.

These are numbers we should all all be able to recite off the tops of our heads. E.g. the correlation between temperature rise and increased atmospheric CO2 is XX%

Simple bivariate analysis.Levels of confidence. Not complex explanations.
Whoa! don’t calculate this yourself. This should be in the peer reviewed research. The academics should have done this already as a part of their analysis. Including the compensations for the fact that the system is non linear.

BTW: I agree the .78 for 48 years is surprising, given the variables and non linearity.
Robert-I agree those numbers are extraordinarily high I also agree linear regression is not a proper test.

Thanks for the radiocarbon dating explanation, I already knew this but you did a good job of explaining.

I guess I am surprised no one can just cite a particular piece of research. It would seem to be cut and dry. From the physics of the greenhouse effect, to human CO2 emissions,, to increasing temperatures, someone should have done the analysis to show that 1) This is not a part of some "natural" cycle because the rapidity of change is so great. And 2) it is directly related to human activity.

Someone had to have done this analysis???

I recently started using wireless router when im on line with my laptop. And I always get disconnected. When I diagnose , I reset the "wireless adapter" and it seems to work for a while before I have to do this again and again. Is their a setting on laptop I must change to eliminated this problem. thanks guys!!

When I plug it in, my PC says "wireless network adapter boot detected" but then it says it can’t find the appropriate driver. What should I do?

I enabled my router to become an access point and the router automatically reset itself and now the new default gateway address that I have that would usually connect me to the router settings doesn’t do that anymore it goes to a "cannot display webpage". How would i reach the router settings again?

I got a "megaplug" ethernet adapter and network extender. They use the powerlines in the house to extend the network. But apparently I need to configure them and the CDs are only for pc Can I do it manually on a mac? specifically how?

I had some friends over for a dinner party last weekend. It was a couple that I had known for several years who came in from New England, "Linda" and "Joe" my neighbor’s from across the street "Karen" and "Pete" and their daughter "Jane". Jane is only 15 but she’s a little trouble maker and I’ve had several problems with her, she wasn’t even allowed at my house but I okayed it this time because she was grounded and her parents didn’t want to leave her at home alone. In the past this girl has lied to me, she stole alcohol from my house, she teased my foster-son because his mother died of cancer, and she broke into my yard while I was away and used my pool (I found out through security cam video) This girl is bad news. Last weekend she took it too far and she destroyed my friendship with her parents.

Here is what happened:
I have a deck in front of my house use it to relax on we have outdoor furniture and a fireplace. Jane was sitting near the fire along with her parents, and my friend Joe. His wife, Linda was helping me in the kitchen. My husband and foster son were on the back deck BBQing. At some point Karen and Pete come inside to help set the table leaving Jane and Joe outside on the deck, alone. About 5 minutes later Joe comes inside and we start talking about how it was still 70F outside where I live (California) and it’s raining and cold where he was living. Everything seemed fine until Jane comes in the house, she asks her mother if she could have a sip of her wine and Linda says "that’s a no-no in my house, i’m a social worker you know…and i’ve seen kids kill themselves thinking they could drink." I added "sorry no underage drinking in my house" and Karen than added "you heard the women!" pissed she left the room. Later all the adults were in the dining room (dinner wasn’t quite ready) and my fosterson and Jane were sitting in the living room where we have a full bar (it’s usually locked but since we had guests over and there is a trap door under the bar into the wine cellar we had it open) My foster son comes into the dinning room and says "umm Jane’s getting into the bar" Karen and I come out and Jane is trying to open the liquor cabinet in the bar, and a scene ensued.
Jane now crying, says she just wanted to "drowse" her sorrows because she was "molested by that creepy guy" ( she was trying to get out of being grounded for another 4 weeks) when her parents asked her to explain she said that when they left her out on the deck with joe that he walked up to her and showed her his penis told her "you better suck it and you better not tell" and than shoved himself in her mouth. As you can imagine Joe was freaked out he just keeped saying "never happend, never happend I just asked her how she was doing in school, id never do that." of coarse her parents took her side and were about to call the police when I told them to hold on let’s all sit down for a sec before the police are called and talk about this, but no they just screamed at me and said I was enabling a child molester and that I should be ashamed they left and the police were called. Linda and Joe didn’t leave my home since the police were coming. While we were waiting for the police my foster-son said "why don’t we just review the security cameras like we did when the brat broke into our pool" so I did and the camera showed Joe sitting about 4 feet away from Jane, than it showed Jane talking to Joe, the audio was really hard to understand but this is what we could make out:

Jane: do you like the snow?
Joe: Not as much as when I was a child
Jane: I like the snow
Joe: do you have snow around her?
Jane: not that kind of snow, the kind that goes up your nose (laughing)
<silence for about 30secs>
Joe: how are you doing in school are you a good student?
Jane: <says something but we can’t make it out>
Joe : Oh, I see. I better go back inside and sit with the wife

Joe than walks away the opposite direction of Jane at no point did he come close enough to Jane to shake her hand let alone what she was claiming.

The police asked Janes parents to come back over to see the video themselves, they did and they said sorry to all of us (but I don’t think I will be talking to them again) They just made excuses for her saying that "She has a learning disability and it causes her to have a low self esteem and act out." when I asked what her learning disability is they said "dyslexia" I think it’s something else because there has to be some other cause for her inexcusable behavior.

Sorry I know it’s a long one but thanks for the advice.

I bought an adapter, but according to the gentleman at the store, there is no standard pinout for the ethernet-serial adapter. So I was wondering if the "DB9" serial was a standard pinout that I could use. I’m using this to connect to the "Console" ethernet port on the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series to reset and configure the wireless access point.

Thanks!
I am just learning this as I go. My company lost the cables and want me to try to configure the wireless access point without it. I bought a adapter and found a standard pinout based on the color of the wires. They were:

1Blue
2Orange
3Black
4Red
5Green
6Yellow
7Brown
8White

So I connected those wires to the pin numbers on the serial side of the adapter. Is this correct?
