    Pc To Mac thru Linksys BESFR41

    I can get a signal if I connect the Router thru the PC end, but I cannot do it the other way round. I use Freeserve as my ISP for DSL. I wonder if that is the problem. I know this is not an urgent matter but it bugs me that I cannot hook the router up at the Mac end. husband complains about all...

    When connecting to my Linksys BEFSR41 cable router neither NIC

    You did make sure you haven't used port 5 next to the cable port as these are joined and should not be used together. just move the lead over one space and see if that helps Post back please I like to know if my info was useful Kind thoughts shirl{flowerface]ey Apple iMac 17"Flat panel...

    Monitor not receiving signal

    It might be worth unplugging just one thing at a time to see if one item can be found to cause the fault. also It just might be vibration making something shake loose. Sorry if you have tried all these, maybe someone with better knowledge will be able to help. Occasionally tho it is the simple...

    power cut seems to have disrupted monitor connection

    yes I thought they would but they should make it more prominent. Belkin actually cover equipment due to spikes but I am not sure about the other factor. I will do as you suggest and take it back to the retailer with my innocent face on! Kind thoughts and thanks for all your help. Helpful post...

    power cut seems to have disrupted monitor connection

    Good idea, and the power surge protection should warn about the brown stage anyway and cover for that. Kindest thoughts [peace] Shirley Apple iMac 17"Flat panel, 80GB 800mhz Superdrive, OSX 10.2.4 CanoScanNT24OU, Canon S520Printer Smile@someone you don't know today!

    So would a 'brown-out' happen even if the power was off for 2 1/2 hours The PC wasnt on but it was plugged in and the wall switch was on I didnt think to go turn it off after the power cut. I was working on my mac at the time and that is fine. I will have to borrow another monitor to test it...

    remove panels to access drives

    Thanks good people I did eventually remember that I had to pull the front of the case. Then I found the 2 screws to remove [ should have been three] but one was missing. I also remembered it wasnt the original ACER case anyway I had upgraded to a tower so it was a generic one. Thanks again...

    remove panels to access drives

    This may seem a silly question but I bought a new PC and want to put the firewire video card from the old one into it. But I cannot find out how to take the panel off my Acer so I can remove it. There arent any screws to remove that are obvious, the only ones I undid loosened the power panel so...
