Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Oh, something else: Do you have voicemail through the phone company? If so, if you have a new message does the dial tone sound funny for a second to let you know? If so, make sure you get all your voicemail first. You can also put a two-second pause in the modem dialing string to get around the problem.
eta: Nevermind - I forgot that the modem is actually connecting for a while....
Sadly, most ISPs don't care if Linux users have problems connecting, so you'll have to debug the problem on your own.
This is my ISP. When I mention Linux, they literally say, "Huh?"
I'll try the dialing string thing tonight. Thanks!
Try looking for "refresh", Tommyrot.
I don't have voice mail, tommyrot, FWIW.
I have a TV (that's about 8 years old) that is spontaneously turning off. Does anyone know what the problem might be with the tv?
If you're still interested... I had to have the tuner replaced in mine. It sounds like you might have a similar problem.
Try looking for "refresh", Tommyrot.
Nope. "refresh" in C# has to do with refreshing the files in the C# project.
Um, aren't there two ways of inserting an object into HTML? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. Anyway, here's how I insert a C# object into HTML:
<object id="Label1" name="Label1" height="24" width="180" classid="Label.dll#aLabel.Frm1" viewastext></object>
aurelia,
the tuner needed to be replaced, huh? Well. I might think about that as an option. About how much does such a thing cost?
I wish they'd get cheaper, though.
le nubian, I got a rebuilt one installed for around $70. It's been working for four years now, so it was worthwhile.
