Netgear WGT624 Wireless router with weak output signal. Using various tools to measure the signal, I can only get relatively weak signals, even from only 10ft away, direct line of sight, no other electronic devices running nearby. Is it possible that other wireless devices in the neighborhood (e.g., a neighbor's cordless phone) could be causing enough interference to attenuate the signal that much?

I have an old stereo system that has a working turntable, and I would like to transfer LP tracks to my laptop. The only sound input is the mike input, as in most PCs. And the stereo system's only outputs are from the turntable (very small signal), the headphones' output, and the one to the cassette recorder.

Can I connect any of these outputs to the laptops' mike input? If not, do I need any extra hardware?

I just don's want anything get burned, except eventually some CDs.

I have downloaded Audacity in order to record and edit the music, and Lame MP3 to encode. Has anyone used this software? What do you think of it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I have a Pentium 4 proccesor doing 2.9ghz & 2.8ghz, with 1GB of ram. The thing is this, I have two 256mb DDR @ 333mhz and two 256@133mb DDR to make that 1GB of RAM. Was I better off with the original 512RAM@ 333? I checked my CMOS and my memory clock speed said it was 266mhz

I cleaned out the fan yesterday and now when I turn it on I get a "PXE-E61 media test failure" error message! Anyone know how to resolve this? I've been told to check the connection to the hard drive, but I can't get at it! The system also says there is no hard drive attached! Ideally, if someone knows how to remove the hard drive this would be a great help!

Hi there. I've got an RZ44G desktop vaio and it has the RCA Jacks in the front and back.

I know they can be used to record things from VHS tapes onto the hard drive, but can they be used for anything else? I have a mixer I'd like to hook up to the computer in order to use a microphone for making music, but I'm not sure if the RCA jacks can be used for anything else.

My mixer doesn't have any usb input, but it does have a tape out with two RCA jacks. I want to use this for podcasts and such, either through the front or back rca jacks.

Are the jacks in the front of the computer also part of the sound card?

I just purchased a Netgear wireless router yesterday and I just found out today that its refurbished. I'm worried that it might be a broken piece of junk, and I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased a refurbished router. I've seen the ratings for it on multiple websites and they're all pretty good, but it might be useless if it is defective.
