There is an alternative which has worked really well for me. Exactly the same situation as you face. I drilled approx 12 inches deep into the top of the wall at appropriate spaces for the trellis. Big hole. approx 30mm dia holes. I used an SDS drill. Then, I hoovered out the hole I'd...

time to buy another one?

I had an epson a long time ago. cost £300. lasted 6 months. After that I moved onto HP, which (then) had print heads in the cartridges. My latest HP doesn't however, but its still just about working 5 years on. My only suggestion would be to get a printer for which there is an...

Hi, the printer head is likely blocked. if i recall, epson printers dont have renewable print heads (i.e. they're not in the cartridges), they're separate, fixed in the printer. you can try injecting industrial alcohol into the black port where the cartridge attaches, and putting a paper towel...

yes, you probably can. 1) have you checked your wireless access point settings as in the link? 2) I dont understand why you're putting in an ip address - can you clarify? - surely the router is serving ip addresses (your dhcp server on the router? - you havent disabled this have you?) cheers

have you checked you wireless access point settings? see link below..... http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Cannot-connect-any-laptops-wirelessly-to-HP-Photosmart-5520/m-p/2547123#M57885 cheers

Hi, I'm not convinced its a driver problem as the DVD drive should be using a standard SCSI/IDE interface - normally you don't need a driver for this. Regardless, the Dell web page for drivers for your computer is here: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/dimension-4500.html There is a...

find your dell service tag on the back of the unit. its unique to every dell computer. it should be a sticker with a 7 digit code on it. here's where you'll find it: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/en/identifyyoursystem?c=us&l=en&s=gen&~lt=popup&DoNotRedirect=y...

Hopefully you'll find your answer here... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776 Cheers!

I suppose I agree with the above poster - you should always try the cheaper option of contacting TalkTalk before you spend your money on a new router. In your configuration menu in the router, does it show the signal to noise (SnR) somewhere? If it does, it may be a good indicator of a poor...

You may well find that other people's routers are also set to 'find the best channel', thus they may be fighting each other. - Have you tried a cell phone app which shows how many routers are operating at the same time, and what band they are on? You may also be in a very congested area...

You may find your neighbours have started using wireless routers on the same frequency range as yours. Try logging into your router and changing to another frequency range (channel). This may improve things. The diagram on this page illustrates the overlaps on the various channels...

The decking boards were useful in that they provided a very flat surface onto which the sleepers were placed. If they provide any rot protection that's a bonus. The sleepers were cut with a circular saw from each side - very carefully as the blade was not deep enough to go through in one go.

I used wooden posts because they are easily replaced. They are tied in behind the sleepers using multiple steel straps. The posts are simply sitting in 'concrete-in post supports'. They are like metposts but much shorter and flat-ended to sit in concrete. If I could have found concrete...

here you are!
