Hi! We've had digital cable for a while and have decided to upgrade to RoadRunner internet. I'm going to self-install it but I need to know where the router will get plugged into.

On the back of the digital cable box, there's a port that says "DATA" but it's not for a CAT5. There's also a Time Warner box on the side of our house where the cable lines connect to. Will I need to run a cable from the cable box or the one on the side of my house?

I'm running it all the way upstairs, so, to be honest, I'm hoping it can be run from the side of the house. The tech has a plastic ring (flimsy) holding it shut though, so I don't know if it's anything we're allowed to touch.

Thanks!

I have an HDCP complaint LCD with two HDMI inputs. I have a PC with a non-HDCP video card. I was under the impression that as long as the SOURCE didn't require HDCP the picture should display. Shouldn't my non-HDCP signal still show up on my HDCP monitor? If not, are there any effective ways to bypass this other than purchasing a HDCP card? If so, why else would my picture be blank?

Q. 1. Okay first off will you guys tell my parents how badly we need a new computer? We have a virus scanner that says we have 14,000 viruses, our computer has a 20gb hard drive, and it only has 126mb of RAM, and We got in the middle of the year 2000. (PLEASE do not say that we don't need a new computer because WE DO!)

The following applies to the questions below:
I want 2GB of RAM, probably want Windows XP unless someone convinces me out of it, do NOT want an apple (I would want one but my parents would always be confused), and I want to be able to play games like halo, call of duty, and battlefield 2 on it.

Q. 2. What kind of processor and graphics card would I need to be able to play games like the ones listed?

Q. 3. What company will give me the most bang for my buck? I've been looking at a Dell XPS but am flexible.

Q. 4. Do you think I should get a Logitech Revolution mouse, or is it not worth the $99.99? If i were to get a good one that would be it.

Q. 5. Other suggestions?

It would work great all the time, one day it turned off suddenly, and now it just shows blinking pumkin light which looks like in the sequence of 1011 0101 0101 0110 1100 ( when '1=on' '0=off' ). When the laptop is plugged up with AC adaptor, the light is green. But if I push the power button, it changes to blinking orange. It still charges up the battery. I tried to do something like push the power button, hold it for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but didn't work well. I know many other toshiba owners should have the same problem as I got. If there's someone who resolved this problem, please help me out not to throw away hundreds of $$ on this.

I have a home network using an SMC Wireless Router. Currently I have two computers that connect to it. I want to make the network Secure so that no one else can connect unless they have a password.

My question is... when I log into the Router using the 168.192... web address... Do I want to password protect it (Set a password to restrict management access to the Wireless Barricade) or Encrypt it (The Wireless Barricade can be quickly configured as a wireless access point for roaming clients by setting the access identifier and channel number. It also supports data encryption and client filtering).

Both require different passwords, so I'm unsure which is the one I want to lock. Thanks!

I also can on about every 10th try get my windows to load, but then all of a sudden EVERYTHING will freeze, no keyboard, mouse, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, will work. I can't seem to keep anything on for more than a few minutes, and then either it will freeze or shut down. I would love to try and fix this without reformatting, and would really appreciate some help.

okay so i've run Webroot Spy Sweeper for the fifth time today along with Nortan Anti-Virus for the second time....Nortan doesnt pick up any virus at all, while Spy Sweeper picks up the virus, Quaratine's it, and when i run the spy sweeper again, the virus is STILL being picked up. why won't it go away? its Troj/Agent-CBA and Troj/ObfLdr-Gen (highest lvl virus) most likely got it from MovieForumz.com - NEVER go there!!!

i did this one thing where i turn off the system restore, restart comp, run spy sweeper again, and then turn back on system restore (someone suggested this) but it didnt work either....

help plz :( the last time this virus came i had to totally erase my computer
