It sounded, from your description, that you stripped the wires and twisted them together, covering the joints with tape for insulation - and that worked until they worked themselves loose. My thought was to remove the tape, clean and re-twist the connections, heat the stripped and twisted ends with a soldering iron, apply some solder, and then re-tape. No protoboard or any other device necessary.

Ok, I wonder why I didn't think of that.... D'Oh! | :doh:

Also, about the male/female connection that you talk about, I have only known of such connectors for RJ-11 types, i.e. for phone lines. Are they also available for RJ-45 connectors? It'd be great if that were the case....

Lots of thanks to The Grand Negus for such insighful responses, BTW.... Smile | :)

This [^] is the easy way. And the "Cyberguys", if you can get them to ship to your location, are typically dirt cheap compared to other vendors.

Thanks a lot for the link.

Now if I could only find some way of placing an order for them to get that thing here to Nepal...... Sigh | :sigh:

Since it's unlikely that you can just run down the mountain to the local computer store for a hub, the solder choice seems most appropriate. In fact, it makes a better connection than a RJ-45 connector.

Simple solution - get a longer piece of CAT-5. BTW, did you use CAT-5 certified for outside use (yes, there is such a thing)? Did you also know that the maximum length of any piece of CAT-5 should be no more than 325 feet? Here's an even better idea - go wireless.

I mean, i thought i mentioned i did not want to buy a new length of wire....and no way i'm going wireless....the cost factor is way over the projected one(which is nothing Poke tongue | ;-P

, or very low)

There are adapters that allow to RJ45 cables to be connected in-line giving you one longer cable. They are about $10 and belkin has one. http://www.dealtree.net/cart/select_item.cfm?cont=71759[^]

Thanks in advance,

IF you're referring to temperature and fan speeds, most do except for really old stuff. For anything else I don't know what's used, maybe an oscope?

Open IE, go to the Tools menu, Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN Settings button. Make sure all the check boxes are cleared.

Now I'd be looking at issues with any firewall software you have installed on your machine.

The registry is not going to be the issue. That's where the settings for IE are stored.

I don't have the time to research your issue. There's not enough information to go on. That's on your shoulders.

Your DNS is the problem. Change your DNS servers. Open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL then copy and paste the output here. I don't need your IP/SUBNET/GATEWAY just your DNS servers.
