    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    No, I do not have iTunes or Photoshop installed. My ipconfig just shows the static IP I have assigned. Nothing very unique about it. Please guys - need some help here. Should I do a reinstall of Windows 7? Will that help? Or is it time to go back to XP? --- Updated Post - Automerged --- I...

    ICC World - Feedback Thread

    I have had a wonderful experience with ICCworld as well. Got a Behringer DEQ2496 for about 19,000. It was delivered in 8 days flat. Would definitely recommend them.

    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    OK guys - the modem is in PPPoe mode already. Always was, apparently. Anish I dont see two networks. I just see two network interfaces. No matter which one I use I see the same 'Unidentified network'. And Sei - I have renamed my adaptor. No luck! I am almost out of options and patience guys...

    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    OK. Is this an option I can see by going to the router page? 192.168.1.1 or something similar?

    My new HTPC remote ( psst it's a kb too! )

    Nice looking gadget! I settled for a Streamzap for something like the same budget. Having paired it with Eventghost, it is better than going up to the PC each time to use the USB mouse connected. But using the mouse with the Streamzap is definitely not what you want to do regulary :).

    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    Prashantrana - I have also tried manually assigning static IP address but this still does not work. I dont recall using the DNS values that you have given though. Let me give it a try later on today and report back. --- Updated Post - Automerged --- By the way, I was one of those who was...

    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    I am at work now, but Anish your suggestion sounds interesting. I dont exactly recall if I saw two such network entries there. I think I just saw the Unidentified network there. Well now there are going to be two of them as I have got the new NIC as well. Sei - yes I have done that - thanks...

    Audio Is Essense STX audibly better than Xonar DX?

    I was always there. But I ought to spend more time here :). The Behringer is being used as a DAC, room correction unit and digital equalizer (I guess these two are pretty much one and the same). Got the matching Behringer microphone and performed the equalization. Now the speakers are in dual...

    Audio Is Essense STX audibly better than Xonar DX?

    Hey Cranky - good to see you after a long time, man! And gryphon - I guess you have got your answers at both places :). Cranky - got to tell you that the Behringer DEQ 2496 has meant that I have pretty much discarded the Xonar D2X sound card. The digital out from the ASUS card is shockingly...

    Windows 7 'Unidentified network' error!

    Recently I setup my home desktop with Windows 7, plonked my new GTX 460 in it and hoped for it to respond to my beck and call. And it did - till I found out no amount of coaxing would allow it to identify the home network. I have a Airtel broadband connection. And for the past week or so, I...

    Linux Arch Linux discussion thread

    As for a good 'rolling release' distribution which is also cutting edge - how about Sidux. Sometimes, one can complain it is far too cutting edge to be used in production :).

    Linux Linux for the newbie

    I would really suggest Linux Mint based systems for beginners over the Ubuntu line nowadays. The Ubuntu line of OS' have steadily started to be slower and less impressive. Do try Peppermint OS. A fork from Linux Mint with Openbox as its window manager. Excellent, fast OS even for very old...

    Re: Need a program to do xxx task in GNU/Linux? Ask here! Lovely thread idea, Gaurish! I am curious to know if the Linux world has anything such as cics cPlay - the Windows based memory player.

    Graphic Cards GTX 460 - No display!

    Folks the issue was sorted out thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable guys at 'TheITDepot' here. Yes, I felt sheepish resorting to the technical people despite having the benefit of the worldwide web and not to mention the fact that I am myself in the IT business. But well - sometimes you need...

    Graphic Cards GTX 460 - No display!

    Well I have not checked the card with another system. Thats just about the only thing left to do. Not sure what the steps are if it turns out that way. I bought this in the US. Will the local Gigabyte dealer help in getting a replacement?! I am at Chennai by the way. I will be trying to see if...

    Graphic Cards Which GTX 460 to get ?

    Based on reviews and specs I would recommend the Gigabyte or the MSI. Definitely the 1 GB versions. There is nothing much in the factory overclocking. These cards are said to reach the 800 mark easily. I would look for the best cooling solution and get it. Palit has been getting horror reviews...

    Graphic Cards GTX 460 - No display!

    Hello folks - its been a couple of days since I got my hands on my new Gigabyte GTX 460 (1 GB). This was supposed to be my big upgrade - moving up from my old ATI X1800 GTO video card. I have an ASUS P5NE SLI motherboard and have Windows 7 64 bit running on my system. Problem is - no matter...

    Audio Auzen Prelude vs. Asus Xonar D2

    Ah, I love KMPlayer! That helps, Chaos. In your experience would you say that the best way to go would be to take an analog out from the Xonar D2x and connect it to my Marantz receiver? Rather than take the digital out? I am thinking that this sound card would have better sound quality than my...

    Audio Auzen Prelude vs. Asus Xonar D2

    I thought the Digital effects such as DTS or Dolby can only be activiated if we use Coaxial or Optical outs. Is that not correct? So you are saying that even if I use 7.1 analog outs from the soundcard to connect to my receiver, I can still use the DTS Interactive, Dolby Digital Live etc from...

    Audio Auzen Prelude vs. Asus Xonar D2

    A small question to the experts here. If I use an ASUS Xonar D2X, say in my HTPC, and take the analog out and connect it to my receiver, can I or can I not use the Dolby Digital/DTS features offered by the card itself? If not, then would not something like the Xonar Essence be a better buy as...
