Hi I have 2x 20inch LCD Dell monitors (model 2005FPW that I use on my PC, bought brand new in September 2006 and one has a little glow near the bottom left hand corner. It disappears if I display an image that is black in that area so I assume that is because the lamp behind switches off to...

Hi this is a bit of a follow up on a previous post but the first was more to do with setting up 2 routers to work together whereas this is more to do with not being able to access the 2nd router via my browser. I am with Sky and my first router is Netgear router they supplied. My 2nd router...

When you say DHCP off you say that straight after saying leave the IP alone on the Netgear router but don't you mean DHCP should be off on the 2nd router (which is a Belkin by the way)? Also what should I do about channels, the same on both or different to each other?

Thanks for the reply, can you guide me to where I can select IP address to set in the router menu system? Do I select Lan IP setup or should I be looking a different heading, can't quite spot where I set the IP. In Lan IP Setup, under this heading I see Lan TCP/IP Setup as sub heading, and...

Hi I have a Netgear router to access Sky, who I get my service from but my router is in our attic conversion where I prefer it beside the computer. The trouble was that this means the wireless signal was virtually nonexistent in our lounge, basically 2 floors down so I googled the problem and...

Ok thanks but you don't worry about screened cable then, ie it isn't a problem, sorry if it is a silly question but I am a beginner with cat cables?

Cheers ok I took the Wikipedia link out but too late as you answered that as I found I could not get to it and I have seen some other comments like yours now. I went looking on the net after your first reply and there are a few places saying it does not exist and may actually be 6a referred...

Thanks for your reply and link, but I do not understand I keep seeing cat 6e. I'm still looking at your link but here is a link that shows one place that tells you about cat 6e and I found several others. http://www.ehow.com/about_6521486_specifications-cat5_-cat6-cat6e-cables.html I...

Hi I used to be an electrician so I have cable knowledge but not much about network cable so I have read up on it and can see that the "e" means that the cable is screened. Seeing that cat 6 is better than cat 5 and not a great difference in cost, I am thinking always buy the best i.e. like...

Nothing obvious in my device manager, under imaging devices(probably closest to what I am looking for) it show just my scanner and my web cam. The thing with Medion PC's I have found, and I have had 3 now, is they are all full of features and connections with all the software preloaded, i.e...

Cheers for that ok I edited my post is the scart with phono bit I added any help? Also I have Vista and Movie maker but cannot see where to select scart can you advise any more on this please.

Hi I have a Medion PC and the video card has various connections. I would like to connect my old VHS video machine to this and go through some tapes. I do not really want to buy any other leads or convertors so I am hoping that the fact it has a scart connection means this is possible with what...

Hi I have used Gorilla glue over the years for mainly timber projects but also many other things, it seemed very versatile but I have noticed that when I search for it online to buy more, up comes Gator glue as well, so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the differences or preferences...

Hi Can anybody guide me here please I have a SLX 8 way Booster and about 4 rooms with magic eyes. I am taking the AV feed from my Sky HD box from connection RF2. I just switched Sky boxes from a Sky+ box to a Sky HD box but I know that is not the problem. I have had this problem a while ago...

Cheers johnW2, So if it is copper, does it scrapped with stripped copper or does it have to be dealt with separately because its tinned?

Hi my daughter has moved into a new house and we have found a load of pulled out but undisposed of rubber cable in her attic. By the looks of it there is more than one house wiring bundle there, i.e. more than half a car boot load. I used to work in building services and we often pulled out...
