Computers & Internet - 4 October 2006

I am a university student and am wondering how extensive my local area networking capablilites are on the exisiting system. More specifically, would I be able to play a LAN game with only the people who use the same default gateway as I do or can I play with anyone in the university (everyone in the university has the same first two numbers in their IP address. Ex 192.168.xxx.xxx)?

If I want to download an album i have to search for each track seperately and download it. Is there a way of just saving myself a bit of time and downloading the album as one? I'm fairly new to it so be to hard on me!! I don't want to use any other programs as I have paid a 32 quid subscription for unlimited tracks for 2 or 3 years.

I've tried dragging and dropping the menu, but that isn't working. The menu only gets bigger but doesn't move to the bottom.

He particularly wants to be able to play fairly up-to-the-minute games. What specifications should I be looking for? And is it going to be cheaper to buy an inexpensive computer and then get a stronger graphics card, or get one with that already installed?

All advice appreciated.

This started when I installed a Trendnet Gigabit NIC on my HP a1120n desktop with AMD 64 3500+. My onboard NIC kept dropping connections and failing after I installed a EVGA 6600gt video card and an EVGA Tv tuner. I also upgraded my power supply to a 450 watt power supply. Tech support at HP and COMPUSA couldn't find out what was wrong with the onboard NIC so I decided to buy and install a new one. Now, I do not get dropped connections but whenever I download files especially installation files, windows updates (sometimes), RAR, ZIP, EXE files, I always have trouble like in the case of RAR and ZIP files, it says corrupted archive or something. I tried downloading via my laptop and then transfered the file via network and it would still fail on my desktop.

Please help!

Thanks!

I hate it when friends/family members send me those page-long emails like, "Happy Angel...send to 10 people..." Does anyone know any witty emails I can send in return so that they will get the hint that these emails are annoying?

I know my other alternative is to tell them, but I really would like to find a witty anti-chain-letter email if anyone knows of any.
