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!
Consuela,
download the trial of BetterZip and see if you can peek in the rar file and download the file inside.
Ginger,
I had no idea installing a wireless router on ATT DSL was such a problem. Do you think you need to try a different kind of router?
We have a wireless router and ATT DSL and don't have trouble. But I didn't install it, so I can't be much help, except to state that it is possible.
I have wireless through AT&T and don't recall any problems with the install or use (except that one time when Pix was here and I couldn't remember the WEP code and ran around like a crazy person looking for it while she laughed and laughed).
Connection has been achieved.
I fear I have so dispaired of tech support in general that I put off calling. For future reference, the TP-Link people are wonderful, except that several of the things she had me do are not listed anywhere on its website.
Okay, so apparently I need to join them, which I did via Split & Concat but VLC still won't recognize it, claims it's an undefined format. ::flings up hands:: I have gone back and am re-downloading them, with the thought that maybe the download was incomplete/corrupted.
You don't need to join them. Any un-RARing software will do that automatically.
I got a little Samsung for the bedroom, based on Drew's good experience.

Weirdly enough, they're not RAR files, according to my source. They just say they're RAR files, and after I join them I should be able to change the file extension to .avi and watch with VLC. I do not know why someone would label something RAR if it were not, but ::shrugs::
Lord knows I have no love for MySpace, but I don't think Intermix, who sold it to NewsCorp in 2005 for $580M, would consider it an "epic flop."
