    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    Oh, that's just icing on the cake. If I mask my browser to appear as IE, then the configuration page works without a hitch in Opera. One of these days, people will learn to check their work with something OTHER than the most insecure browser in the world. Thanks for the comments, guys.

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    *slaps forehead* Well, Javascript is enabled, but I did test with Internet Exploder. Looks like that modems configuration page doesn't work as well with Opera as I thought. *grumble*grumble* Why can't people stop coding just for IE. *sigh* Thanks for the comment. I was so caught up in...

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    I'm in Nebraska. Just moved here (as per my first post), and have had no experience with Windstream so I had no idea how they usually configured their modem/routers. If that's the case, I may contact them and request a new one, but at least for now it's working. You can see what I mean by...

    CPU fan too noisy

    I was going to suggest the Thermaltake Silent775D as well, but I'm glad you found one that works for you at least. I have a Zalman cooler on my Athlon64 X2, and they are very nice.

    Is 1gb dual channel better than 1.5gb+ single channel

    Theoretically, you shouldn't be able to run 3 sticks of RAM on an Athlon64. I know when they were introduced, it was stated that it would not work. Perhaps changes were made later to support it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Is this Laptop any good ?

    Yes, it will definitely be faster. And more efficient on battery life. The older AthlonXP's were never truly designed for the mobile market. The Turion's are better optimized for battery life and heat. I didn't realize Packard Bell was still around. I hope they're better than when I last...

    Vista

    @burtsbees Actually, if you download the latest "trial" version of Norton 2007 from their website, you can enter your key in and it will work with Vista. We've been doing this at work for new machines we build. I work for a small OEM, and we've been dealing with some of the headaches of...

    Can I disable Plug and Play

    I'm not sure I'd recommend disabling PnP. UPnP is another story, but that's not what we're talking about. As for the tool wahnula posted, that is an invaluable program but it's for fixing Auto-Insert Notification problems, not USB driver problems. Regarding reinstallation, I would do as...

    Leadtek versus eVGA

    I've never tried calling Leadtek, but the one time I had a problem with the fans on an old FX5900 I used to have, they wanted me to send the whole card back instead of just sending me new fans. While their technical support may not be the greatest, I've always had good luck with their cards...

    Ports listening?

    Certain software can use uPnP to automatically open necessary ports on routers that support this feature. This can be a good thing, but can also be a liability. Hence the warning about it. There are other uses if I'm not mistaken, but this is the one I'm primarily aware of.

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    YES! The NAT option didn't work (it reverted back to the main page), but I was able to configure port forwarding with this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really didn't want to buy another modem that may or may not work.

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    Nope, no good. So back to my last thought. Anyone have access to an unlocked version of this modem/router that can paste the link used to access the Bridge Mode setup on it? Basically, I want to disable NAT on the modem, so it's just a modem and nothing more. Then I want to setup my own...

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    Well, I finally got through to the tech support line, and they suggested the same thing AllTelTec did. Hold the reset button until the lights flash (well, they said for 7-10 seconds). I think it may be working, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm going to try connecting to my machine from work later...

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    Alternatively (just thought of this after the fact, and I can't edit my post), if someone has an unlocked modem/router and can post the page link for the Bridge Mode setup, then I should be able to configure Bridge Mode that way. The options all appear to be there, but the main page is modified...

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    That would work if this was the normal firmware. But since it's a modified firmware that's locked down (see the image in my first post for example), then it doesn't help me unfortunately. I know how to configure a reouter that lets me, the problem is that this one doesn't let me. I was hoping...

    Speedstream 4200 on Windstream.net, no config

    I've recently moved (as in Friday, 2/23) and I called beforehand to setup my DSL service to have ready when I moved in. My modem arrived Monday night, and I began setting things up. Internet works great. It's supposed to be 6Mbit, get closer to 5Mbit in speed tests, but that's not bad...
