Not the network card.
Works perfectly like it used to under Knoppix, with the same cables/port/physical config.
Argh. Back to the drawing board

Most likely autosensing of connection speed and duplexing has stopped working. I find that this feature flat out does not work properly, regularly going into autosense when not necessary, and quite frequently never actually completing the autodetect process.
Go into the device's settings in Device Manager and, on the Advanced tab, force the speed to 100Mbps and Full duplexing. Do this for all devices on your network that will allow this.

I also thought of that indeed, unfortunately it didn't help.
Now I'm battling another connection problem on a different computer... Looking similar... I wonder if the switch isn't somehow involved
Thing is though, if I connect the two unfriendly pc's with a cross-over cable the problems persist over reboots...

Remove the one computer (not the server, the other one) from the network entirely. Reboot the router/switch and server then see how things go. You have to break this into the affected area and you do that by isolating away hardware. Get your variables down as small as you can, get that other machine off the network post-haste and then see how you are doing.

The basic objective of the project is to capture the image data from a camera sensor chip & sent to a microcontroller (after all the pixels in a single frame has been captured). It is then stored in a flash memory for display. The image data is stored in the form of a bitmap image. It is then later displayed on the computer screen.
The microcontroller selected for the project is ATMEL’s AT89C51ED2. The package used is VQFP64. AT89C51ED2 is a high performance CMOS flash version of 8051. It has 256Bytes of internal RAM, a 9-source 4-level interrupt controller and three timers/counters. It also has 2048 Bytes of EEPROM. It has a programmable counter array, an XRAM of 1792Bytes, a hardware watchdog timer, SPI interface, keyboard, a capability of multiprocessor communication(EUART), a speed improvement system(X2 Mode). It contains 64KByte flash memory block for code & data. This flash memory can be programmed either in parallel mode or serial mode with ISP capability or with software.
The sensor used to capture image data from external environment is MICRON’s 1/2-Inch Mega pixel CMOS Digital Image Sensor named MT9M001C12STM (Monochrome). The package used is 48-Pin CLCC. The Micron® Imaging MT9M001 is an SXGA-format with a 1/2-inch CMOS active-pixel digital image sensor. It has an active imaging pixel array of 1,280H x 1,024V (1,310,720 active pixels). So, it has a total of 1,374,976 pixels (incl. dark pixels i.e. 1,312H x 1,048V). It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on-chip such as windowing, column and row skip mode, and snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface. It also has a programmable frame rate of 30 fps (progressive scan). It also has Electronic rolling shutter. The sensor can be operated in its default mode or programmed by the user for frame size, exposure, gain setting, and other parameters. The default mode outputs an SXGA-size image at 30 frames per second (fps). An on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides 10Bits per pixel. FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are output on dedicated pins, along with a pixel clock that is synchronous with valid data.
The image is stored in the bitmap format. The resolution can be changed using the header in the image. Finally, a C program is written that can display the required frame as the output.
But we have some errors in the code the following are the codes:
1.THE ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE CODES
The first code that was developed was aimed to verify the validity of the PCB design. This program had a subroutine which would start the timer on the 4 pin of the sensor connector. The code was as follows:
PROGRAM 1:
ORG 0000H
LCALL START_T2CLK
START_T2CLK:
MOV 20H, 0C9H
SETB 01H ; PROGRAM T2 AS CLK OUTPUT MODE
MOV 0C9H, 20H
MOV 20H, 0C8H
CLR 01H ; SETTING T2 IN TIMER MODE
MOV 0C8H, 20H
MOV 0CBH, #0FFH ; LOADING RELOAD VALUE INTO
MOV 0CAH, #0FBH ; RCAPH2 & RCAPL2 REGISTERS
MOV 0CDH, #0FFH ; LOADING RELOAD VALUE INTO
MOV 0CCH, #0FBH ; TH2 & TL2 REGISTERS
MOV 20H, 0C8H
JB 02H, OVR_T2CLK
SETB 02H ; STARTING TIMER2
OVR_T2CLK:
MOV 0C8H, 20H
RET
In this program, the reload value is loaded into the RCAPH2 & RCAPL2 registers, having the address 0CBH and 0CAH. They are the timer/counter2 reload/capture high and low byte registers respectively. Similarly, the value is loaded into the TH2 and TL2 registers. After dumping this program into the microcontroller, the output waveform can be verified on the 4th pin. It should show an almost perfect square wave of 1MHz frequency. Once this waveform is observed on the screen of the CRO, it can be confirmed that the sensor has been connected correctly.
Once the validity has been verified, the data from the sensor must be acquired. The program given below acquires the data from the sensor.

In this program, we are using the concept of Dual Pointers. In one of the pointer we are loading the external data memory address from where we are going to dump our program. By incrementing the AUXR register, we are selecting the second DPTR. Into this, we are sending the address of the decoder to the microcontroller. Then we check for the valid data. The data is not valid until the data_valid line is high. As the R7 register has 256 in it, it will confirm that data_valid become high at least once before 256 loops. Data acquisition can be verified on the pins of the sensor jumper and also on the data pins of the buffer 74HC373.
Theoretical calculations to read and store one pixel in XRAM:
JNB 91H, WAIT_DATAVALID – 2 machine cycle
MOVX A,@DPTR – 2 machine cycle
INC 0A2H – 1 machine cycle
MOVX @DPTR, A – 2 machine cycle
INC DPTR – 1 machine cycle
INC 0A2H – 1 machine cycle
DJNZ R7, WAIT_DATAVALID – 2 machine cycle
Total number of machine instructions for that routine = 11
Total time = 11x 12 (since 1 machine cycle = 6 clock periods)
Frequency of the microcontroller = 40MHz
Time to read & store 1 pixel is 132/40MHz = 3.3µsec (~4µsec)
The next program to be developed was to check the number of pixels that are being captured from the sensor, by the microcontroller.

This routine counts the number of pixels that are being read. The logic is that register R7 is given a value of 256. Whenever the data_valid becomes high then the execution comes out of the wait_datavalid. At that time the value of the R7 will definitely not be 256. It is then compared with different values (stored in Accumulator) to conclude the number of pixels. In this routine, we use the free port pins as debug points. Two such free pins are 0B2 and 0B3, i.e. 2nd and 3rd (beginning from 0) pins of port 3. In this program, we have written the loop such that: the value of the R7 register is stored in the Accumulator after coming out of the wait_datavalid. A hexadecimal value of 0FH is subtracted from it. If carry is generated, then P3.3 is cleared else P3.2 is cleared. This is cleared because if the pins of the ports are not connected then they are in logic “high” state. So, after dumping the program in to the microcontroller, we must check the port pins externally to know the value of the R7. After actually checking the debug points, we derived that the number of pixels read is 256.
Next, we developed a code to verify the total number of pixels (rows x columns). It is similar to the above program, except that the line _valid is also brought into the picture. Its value is high during the line of validated pixels data.

Note: The data validity has also been confirmed, (with the CMOS sensor connected) on a CRO monitor, with the probe at the data pins of the CMOS sensor and also at the buffer pins. The waveform obtained for the data with the sensor exposed is exactly opposite to the data obtained with the sensor covered.
Once the number of pixels has been found, the next stage is to store the sensor data somewhere, so that later it can be transmitted. The most suitable option was to use the FLASH memory of the microcontroller. Its capacity is 64Kbytes.

The program reads the data from the sensor and writes it into flash. Here again we used the concept of DUAL DPTR. One of the DPTR has the flash address while the other has the sensors address. The problem faced here was that, the microcontroller receives one row of pixel data in 1ms. The flash sub routine takes about 1.3ms to write one pixel into the flash. As the result the number of pixels written into the flash is very few. Thus the final frame obtained would not be recognizable. So, the need for a faster storage memory was apparent. The next option for writing the data from the sensor is into XRAM. Its capacity was 768 Bytes (default). It was programmed to 1792 Bytes using the AUXR register. To write the data into the XRAM, the XRAM bit in the AUXR register must be cleared. The program is as follows:

The 8EH register is the auxiliary register. It is not bit addressable. So, the alternative is to use a bit addressable register. To check if the data is being written into the XRAM, we can verify by copying it from the XRAM to the flash. Into the XRAM, only 7 rows of 256 pixels each can be written. Loop must be written to read the whole frame.
DISTUISHING THE XRAM FROM THE FLASH:
There are two blocks of internal memory XRAM and flash. And accessing these memories should be done by using DPTR but how could the controller know whether, it is the XRAM or the flash that is being accessed. Depending on the instructions, the microcontroller will know whether it is XRAM or flash. For example, if we want to write a data to XRAM then this can be done by using MOVX instruction and whatever address is there in DPTR at that instant that address will be taken. Bytes greater than 1792 can’t be accessed in XRAM. And for writing data into flash a routine has to be called. While doing so, whatever address is there in the DPTR when the being called, the data will be written to that address.
One last program was developed to verify the functioning of the XRAM. A general data apart from that of the sensor was stored in the accumulator and the address of the XRAM was given. The data was written into the XRAM. This was verified by transmitting the data from the XRAM to the PC via serial communication.

In this routine we are setting the baud rate for the transmission of data from the PC to the microcontroller. It is done by selecting the baud rate as earlier discussed, via internal baud rate generator. The formula used is:
By using this formula, we tried to do the communication from the microcontroller to the PC. When the microcontroller transmits the data to the PC, the PC must be able to capture it. For this, we developed a code in “C” language. This program uses predefined functions as BIOSCOM used for serial communication.

THE PREDEFINED FUNCTION: BIOSCOM
The predefined function used in the above program is BIOSCOM. It enables serial communication via RS232. Its declaration can be done in two ways as follows:
Int bioscom (int cmd, char abyte, int port);
Unsigned _bios_serialcom (int cmd, int port, char abyte);
In the above syntax, Abyte is the “OR” combination of bits that specifies COM port settings (ignored if cmd = 2 or 3). Cmd specifies the I/O operation to perform. Port identifies the I/O port; 0 = COM1, 1 = COM2, etc. For all values of cmd, both functions return a 16-bit integer. The upper 8 bits of the return value are status bits.
1. If one or more status bits is set to 1, an error has occurred.
2. If no status bits are set to 1, the byte was received without error.
The lower 8 bits of the return value depend on the value of cmd specified:
If the value of cmd is 0 then the bioscom function sets the communications parameters to the value in abyte. If the value of cmd is 1 then the bioscom function sends the character in abyte out over the communications line. If the value of cmd is 2 then the bioscom function receives a character from the communications line. If the value of cmd is 3 then the bioscom function returns current status of the communications port.
When cmd = 2 or 3 (_COM_RECEIVE or _COM_STATUS), the abyte argument is ignored. When cmd = 0 (_COM_INIT), abyte is an OR combination of the following bits (one from each group).
The 16 bits are designated parameters as given below:
0 bit indicates Received line signal detect
1 bit indicates Ring indicator
2 bit indicates Data set ready
3 bit indicates Clear to send
4 bit indicates Change in receive line signal detector
5 bit indicates Trailing edge ring detector
6 bit indicates Change in data set ready
7 bit indicates Change in clear to send
8 bit indicates Data ready
9 bit indicates Overrun error
10 bit indicates Parity error
11 bit indicates Framing error
12 bit indicates Break detect
13 bit indicates Transmit holding register empty
14 bit indicates Transmit shift register empty
15 bit indicates Time out (set to 1 if abyte value could not be sent)
Based on the bits that are set, the error can be analyzed.
The “C” program and the “set_baud rate assembly” should be run simultaneously. The data being sent from the microcontroller is supposed to send to the PC. Here, we encountered a problem because the baud rate of the internal baud rate generator of the microcontroller has fixed values of 4800, 7200 and 9600. When these values are substituted into the baud rate formula, fractions are being obtained for the BRL values. Thus, the synchronization was not exact and the data was not received properly. So, the next alternative was to use the Timer 2 in mode 1(Auto Reload Mode). The routine which was developed to serve the purpose was:

When this program was run simultaneously with the “C” program then the data was successfully transmitted and also written in a file. Now, the next task was to develop a “C” program which can convert a given text file into bitmap format i.e. “1s” and “0s”. “0s” represent black while “1s” represents white.
/*program to convert the given input into bitmap format by calculating the dynamic threshold*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h>
void main()
{
int i, j, data, min=256, max=0, threshold, image[128][160], l, k ,a;
unsigned header[62] = {66,77, 62,10,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 62,0,0,0, 40,0,0,0, 160,0,0,0, 128,0,0,0, 1,0, 1,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,10,0,0, 196,14,0,0, 196,14,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,255,255,255,0};
FILE *fpr, *fpw;
clrscr();
fpr=fopen("d:\\image.txt","r");
for(i=0;i<20480;i++)
{
fscanf(fpr, "%d ", &data);
if(data<min) min="data;
" if(data="">max) max=data;
}
threshold=(max+min)/2;
threshold=0x1F;
fseek(fpr,0,0);
for(i=0;i<128;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<160;j++)
{
fscanf(fpr,"%d ", &data);
if(data<threshold)
image[i][159-j]="0;
" else
="" }
="" fclose(fpr);
="" creating="" bmp="" file
="" fpw="fopen("d:\\ckt.bmp","wb");
" for(i="0;i<62;i++)" adding="" header
="" fputc((char)header[i],fpw);
="">=0;i--)
for(j=0;j<160;l++)
{
for(k=7,a=0;k>=0;k--,j++)
a+=image[i][j]*(int)pow(2.0,(double)k);
fputc((char)a,fpw);
}
fclose(fpw);
}
The output of this program is the monochrome, bitmap version of the input data. The threshold is defined as a mid value between the max and min.
ANALYSIS:
Here are some of the points that had come across during the project. Here are some of the points of analysis:
1. Though the number of pixels that can be scanned over a row are 1024 due to slow speed of reading and writing data the number of pixels are reduced to 256.
2. As the time taken to write one pixel into flash is more than 1ms the obtained data can be written to XRAM which takes relatively less time.
3. The decoder logic can be checked by checking the camera control bit of decoder which produces a pulse.
4. To ensure serial communication, one can check over the TXD pins of microcontroller, TXD of MAX232, RS232 cable and serial port of PC.
5. To check the proper working of sensor one can observe following points
a) Data pins of sensor can be checked.
b) Line valid has to be checked (it need to be 1ms).
c) Pixel clock can be checked (which is of frequency 1MHZ)
d) Datavalid bit can be checked for a pulse which is given to port of microcontroller
6. The baud rate has to be set up in “C” program in order to receive the data.
7. If the data is not received properly in the “C” program, one could check out for errors by checking the status register
8. One could check the validity of bitmap format by giving the known inputs in the form of a file.
9. To check for the data written in XRAM, one can copy the data from XRAM into Flash and read it using FLIP
software.
FUTURE SCOPE OF WORK:
1. The amount of horizontal blanking and vertical blanking is programmable through Reg0x05 and Reg0x06, respectively.
2. The aspect ratio of the CMOS sensor of 5:4. If it is to be displayed on TV monitor the aspect ratio is to be 4:3.
3. In case of the microcontroller, there ports that are left free. One of them can be connected to a printer or any other external devices. So that, simultaneously the picture can be obtained on the monitor as well as on another peripheral device.
4. So far, we have only been able to store the pixels from the sensor to the XRAM. Transmission of the data from the XRAM to the PC should be carried out.
5. Only 1792bytes has been written into the XRAM. Code has to be developed so that all the pixel data can be captured.
6. The sensor has been used with the default settings. The sensor settings can be modified by developing the serial port interfacing with the PC.
Please help me in this aspect and help me in getting the output.

 My brain cramped up after reading half the post. You might not get any replies to this simply because of how long this question is!
On the plus side, from what I've read, the description is thorough...Government Documentation thorough...

I used to work at Micron and we wrote tons of automation software out there. You need to work with the component vendors on this problem. They have API's written specifically for interfacing with their stuff in most cases and that should save you a lot of work. Work with their support people and have them look over what you are doing and your code and they can validate/invalidate your approach. This type of question is totally impossible to get an answer to here. We don't have any of the test equipment, manuals or other specs that are an absolute must for this type of work (okay maybe not a must but they really help, and we don't have them).
You'd be much better off to work with the component vendors support directly.

...more like line 1098... 
Did anyone noticed that a "used formula" is missing in the text? Thus... how can we understand some copy / pasted material... and why would anyone do someone else's job for which is probably paid? Helping lazy students do their homework is not as nearly as stupid as helping ____ (fill the blank with whatever you find appropriate) to earn good money and even promote, based on work they didn't even read before submitting.

I have a wireless network interference issue:
I have an 802.11b wireless that transmits on 2.4GHz, a baby monitor that also transmits on 2.4GHz and a cordless telephone that transmits on 5.4GHz. I get interference between the router and the baby monitor.
Long story short, after some research I've determined that my only option is to purchase a wireless router that transmits on 5GHz.
Can anybody tell me if the router on 5GHz with interfere with my phone on 5.4GHz?
Thanks
Brad

I could be mistaken but the transmission frequency shouldn't be the problem. Have you tried just changing the broadcast channel on the router you currently have? They should not even cross paths on a different channel... The default for most 2.4 devices is channel 6 try using a channel higher up like 9 or 11.

It seems like I read something that said that changing the channel would not work. I've read so much about this in the past few days that it is all becoming a jumble in my head...anyway, I ruled out that option for some reason.

Change your broadcast channel to something higher up. Go two levels from where you are if you have that option. Restart the router. Then test things. That should do it. I've never heard of conflict on different channels but that doesn't mean I'm right either. I've been doing wireless for about 5 years (for pay) and this would be the first I've heard of such a thing.

I'll give that a try. It could save me a lot of cash.
Hey, I checked out your web site and noticed that you are in Meridian, Idaho. How is business out there? I just moved back to Maryland after living up in Cascade for about two years. I couldn't find work out there...

Oh, business is a bit too good. But I have a national customer base and some times I have a multi-national customer base. I'd honestly like a break but I won't complain.

Boise has become quite the technology city since I was a kid. I grew up in SE Idaho and I've seen Boise come a long way since I was a kid.
Thanks for your help. I'm going to try the things that you suggested. You seem to be the only person on the planet who understand what I'm trying to do. That is probably why you are so busy with your business.

Yeah, I've been doing wireless and wired networking a long time. I've found that many claim to know what they are doing but few really do. Each new client I get has some big names taking care of them before me. I get in there and nothing works right, everything is such a mess. I usually spend 1 or 2 weeks fixing everything before things are really smooth and nimble again.
Too bad I love writing software way more than I love networking. I could make a good living doing it but I make a lot more writing software.

I started by asking somebody at Linksys and I think I confused them to the point where they hung up on me, they claim that it was a technical problem 
It really is hard to find somebody who really knows what they are doing. I still have some connections in your area. I’ll keep your company in mind for future references.

We've been using baby monitors for 6 years and one of my kids is alive because of high-end baby monitors (but she's got chronic health issues). So I have a lot of experience with baby monitors and wireless routers. One thing that could be causing a problem with your baby monitor is noise on the electric circuit for the base and/or the receiver. Try putting them into decent (1000 J) surge protectors and see if that helps. If it doesn't get some little (very small 250 Va) battery backups and try to clean up the electricity going into the base and receiver. I know you'll think I'm nuts but you just have to trust me. I doubt it's your router that is the problem unless the interference goes away completely when the router is off. If that's the case is the router plugged into the same electric circuit as the monitor base? If so get it on a different electric circuit. My guess is something is causing noise on the circuit.

I’ve been unable to get the wireless 2.4GHz monitoring system to work. I’ve researched some other options and think that I might have an idea for something that would work.
I’ve found some wireless network cameras that I could use on my existing 2.4GHz network. The problem is that they won’t immediately alert me when sound or motion is detected. They simply send an email.
How much would you charge to write a simple application that would work with a motion sensing camera by opening ( or "bringing to the front") the video view of the camera that detects motion?
I'm not even sure if this is possible but it seems like if the camera is sending 'motion detection information' then a program could somehow capture it and execute the desired processes.
I have some VB.NET experience but probably not enough to make something like this work. It would be fun to figure it out though so I'm going to give it a shot. I just wanted to know if this was something that you think can be done and a "ball park" cost.
Thanks

Send me a link to the cameras you are looking at and I'll have a look at what can be done with them.
