    ip address

    If you're talking about the IP address of your computer, then yes, it can be changed. You would most likely do this via your hub settings. If you mean the IP address of your hub on the internet, then probably not.

    Long lead appliances and extensions testing and limits.

    So why not use the actual pass limit, as specified in the code of practice? Sounds like you may possibly have failed your vacuum cleaners and projectors under false pretenses. As for testing an appliance fitted with a portable RCD (BS 7071), you wouldn't perform an IR test, as it cannot...

    PAT testing using a multifunction meter

    Don't start confusing the Wiring Regulations with the guidance for In-service I&T. They are not the same! For In-service I&T, 200mA most definitely is not stated as the minimum. And yet it does. I'd suggest you re-acquaint yourself with the correct guidance before making such misleading...

    PAT testing using a multifunction meter

    Assuming you are referring to the IEE/IET Code of Practice when you say 'rule book', even back in the 2nd edition, it said that for earth continuity testing "Either of the following tests may be carried out:", then went on to describe both the 'soft' test (20mA - 200mA test current) and the...

    Long lead appliances and extensions testing and limits.

    Out of interest, what are you taking as the 'permitted resistance' in these instances?

    Moving Camcorder video to PC

    If your DVD/HD unit works fine into your Vaio via i.Link (IEEE 1394), then I would suggest the following: Presumably the DVD/HD has an AV input of some description? If you set it to this input, and plug the camcorder into it, then it should pass the input directly through to the outputs. It's...

    computer help needed please (usb storage)

    Was that in reference to the HP Format Tool or command line DiskPart?

    cable confusion

    Certainly is! I've been surprised a couple of times to find that the DVI input on a telly has been DVI-I, but it came in handy. The vast majority have been DVI-D, though.

    cable confusion

    Although.... if the DVI input port on the TV is DVI-I (the OP would have to look it up in the manual), then that adaptor (not a converter!) might well work...

    Great. Yet another dimwit with (text-based forum equivalent of) selective deafness.

    PAT testing mobile phone chargers

    Why would you think that a mains powered phone charger is a Class III appliance? Do you know what Class III means?

    USB Sticks Going Faulty

    So you were transferring files from a existing computer onto a new laptop, using a USB memory stick? Don't tell me you cut-and-pasted the files onto the mem stick, rather than copy-and-pasted? Never a good idea.

    Pulling down over head powerlines.

    Not particularly good, as it happens. I think you've properly lost this one, as you've simply resorted to (badly spelled) insults. As BAS suggests further upthread, it's time for bed, sonny. With a good nights sleep, you might feel less of a tool tomorrow.

    Really? Which pin do you think should be shrouded with blue on a 13A plug, then?

    Pedants corner

    I rather think I'm with BAS on this one. If you're going to the bother of having a forum signature (and there's another argument right there), at least do your dignity and self-respect the honour of making sure it is accurate.

    Plug top wiring.

    No. A 'user check' at every use. Not a formal visual inspection, and certainly no testing involved.
