Wonder if you could get some help from other FReepers. Somebody is bound to know something about networks. There's all kinds of expertise here.
Fascinating.
Did the same thing, with one Win98 machine that gave me fits, crashing so completely I had to get into the BIOS to reload Windows to recover. The XP machines were a snap.
I'll try that if the Asante' forum doesn't help- I actually have gotten more, and better, help here than on the tech forums-- once I got past the catcalls, flaming, and "are you logged' in ribbing.
The network set up without a hitch ( Asante router, Westell Wirespeed 2100 DSL modem, Win2K on both machines ) other than fiddling with the connection tabs-- all the default settings are fine. Only problem is, Ebay hangs when I try to go there. It did that with the un-networked main PC whenever I had Kerio's software firewall running. Disable Kerio, it opened Ebay fine.
The router has a built-in hardware firewall, so I am assuming it is a similar problem with the firewall there. I posed the problem to Asante's forum, so maybe someone there has an answer.
I normally avoid Ebay, but am checking on a bag phone there- I can, of course, just straightwire the modem to the main PC and proceed, but that's a little cumbersome to keep doing.
Two options I have not yet tried are running the router's installation CD, or going into the router via the browser ( like you do a DSL modem ) and looking at its internal settings to see if everything looks Kosher.
If you get the help you need, all the ribbing is worth it. Good luck!
Thanks- though if I never hear one more "my beeber is stuned" crack, it will be too soon!
Whoa. Bump for finishing later.
The network is structured dual Cat-5e cable with dual coax lines to each room. Now if I could just figure out how to change the IP on my LaserJet 4M with a JetDirect card so that the router could see it was on the network...
Ah! The dreaded Voice from Foreign Tech Services... my wife went 'round & 'round with one of them about the new postal meter at work... what I have gotten so far from Asante' forums is this:
John, Known issue with some ISP connections. You need to decrease the MTU packet size with the Router in the mix. Search in these forums for the various recommendations on how this is accomplished within the Operating System you have. The FR1004 does not have the ability to adjust the MTU packet size directly (where the FR1104-G does). Al : { )
So it sounds like I need to get into the router and look at the tech stuff.
Bump for later.
And you always wanted to be an IT guy, didn't you? Every time I log on I get told I'm a Network Administrator.
Whenever I find myself in the bowels of the system I realize it must be a career movement.
Actually, I think that was a file photo from either TWA or AP -- taken before TW #800 went down.
Yes, indeedy.
And it would have given her every reason to erect "the wall".
And to serve on the 9/11 commission, as a "human wall".
Damn, indeed.
Bump to read later...
Condi would not have known.
But Jamie Gorelick sure as hell would've...
I had eluded to this in 1000 Years of Revenge -- along with a chapter, by the way, which linked Ramzi Yousef and KSM via Terry Nichols to the Oklahoma City bombing.
This was long before Jayna Davis' intriguing book The Third Terrorist which was the object of one of your earlier interviews. She agrees with me on the Yousef-Nichols connection, but we disagree as to Yousef's paymaster. She suggests it was Iraq. I say OBL and furnish proof in the form of evidence showing that Yousef's Manila cell was financed directly by bin Laden via his Saudi brother in law Mohammed Jamal Khalifa.
However, in 2003, in neither case -- OKC or TWA #800 did I have the level of evidence I uncovered in the Spring of 2004. Much of it is in the pages of Cover Up or on my website under FBI #302's.
In the weeks prior to the downing of TWA 800 the FBI was alerted by Colombo crime family member Gregory Scarpa Jr. that Ramzi Yousef -- who was in a cell next to Scarpa Jr. at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) -- was arranging to have his al Qaeda cohorts plant a bomb aboard a U.S. airliner. The reason? To provoke a mistrial in the Bojinka case, the first of two federal trials facing Yousef.
Yousef even shared with Scarpa the intricate details of his schematic of the same Casio-nitro bomb trigger device, he had placed aboard PAL #434 in December 1994.
Keep in mind that had the Bojinka plot been fufilled, up to a dozen U.S. jumbo jets would have had their center wing fuel tanks blown apart by Casio watch-nitroglycerine bomb triggers placed in the life jacket pouches of seats located over the tanks.
Yousef's only mistake with PAL #434 was in bomb placement, not bomb design.
Now, in the spring of 1996, weeks prior to Yousef’s trial for the Bojinka plot, the bomb maker began sending elaborate notes and bomb schematics to inmate Scarpa—who -- unknown to Yousef -- had begun working as an informant for the FBI, and passed them on to his Bureau contacts.
His original motivation was to get some downward release time on his sentence if convicted in the RICO trial he was facing.
Over the next 11 months from March, 1996 to February, 1997, Scarpa Jr. delivered dozens of copies or photographs of Yousef's notes which the FBI then summarized in their own internal #302 memos.
One note, in which Yousef told Scarpa Jr. that the high explosive RDX could be substituted for nitroglycerine was titled “How to Smuggle Explosives Into An Airplane.” Both the sketch and the note are reproduced in Cover Up and at peterlance.com under FBI #302s.
As proven by these heretofore secret #302 memos also reproduced in the book, Scarpa’s intelligence warned the Feds of Yousef’s impending bomb-on-board plot to effect a mistrial.
Worse yet, the Bureau may have facilitated the TWA 800 disaster, by setting up a third party “patch through” system that allowed Yousef to make outside calls. We know that one of the al Qaeda cohorts he reached was KSM, the one remaining Bojinka conspirator at large who knew how to build the Casio-nitro device.
Then, just as the most damning evidence was being entered by federals prosecutors at Yousef’s trial, TWA 800 an identical 747-100 to the PAL 434 aircraft flight, exploded off Long Island.
The next day Yousef demanded a mistrial -- just as he had told Scarpa Jr. he would.
Absolutely incredible stuff. Staggers the mind.
