I just moved to Dreamhost, and have been very pleased.

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!
Interesting note on the Firefox 2.0 troubles--I'm running 2.0 on my Ubuntu partition, and using it the same way I use FF in Windows, ie running about 80 tabs and a fair number of extensions, it's almost no drain on the CPU. Certainly no comparison to the constant restarting I have to do in Windows with only even five tabs! So I wonder if it's just a Windows build thing.
I like Dreamhost a lot, I use it for my Spring Awakening site.
I switched over from eHostPros to Dreamhost a while back, and have been very happy with them. (I don't use iWeb, but their control panel has always played nicely with my Mac.)
I wish I'd gotten a huge bandwidth Dreamhost account. I must have missed that promo.
Thanks Jon. I am going to try the Dunnies VBA book
Hi again.
Does anyone know anything (bad or good, about this service [link] which seems to be a way that our school could have on-line classes?
I need some help with DSL and wireless networking. My landlady has currently both Verizon DSL and Comcast Cable for internet and would like to cancel the Comcast. I tried to hook the Westell Wirespeed, which I believe is the modem although it looks ancient, to the Linksys but that didn't work. Is that not the modem? Does the modem have to be connected to a dedicated computer that has to be on all the time?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
d, the Westel is the dsl box. That and the linksys might have the same IP addresses.
Hook the westel directly up to a computer and set the computer for DHCP (Obtain an ip address automatically) and on a PC you can go to a command prompt and type in ipconfig to find out what the DHCP gateway's ip address is.
Do the same for the Linksys wireless box.
On a mac, set it up for DHCP and hit the "renew" button and you'll get the same info.
If they are the same, change the internal IP of one or the other. This means connecting to the one you want to change.
Some info on passwords you might need is to be found at portforward.com, just nose around a bit and pretend you are setting up port forwarding and part of the setup process will reveal the common default passwords for many dsl and network routers.
Thanks, Daniel! Will have to try that later when I get home again.
