Or contact your local Service Provider.
In my house, they had to slow down the connection since the wiring in the house was too old to handle the normal speed.

Have you tried plugging your cable into alternative ports in your router?

Usually wired connections don't display the type of speed problems you report; bad cables or bad electrical connections at the socket seem a likely candidate.

Try "pinging" the router from both machines. Are your return times dramatically slower than his? (If you're using Windows, use Start > Run, type "cmd" in the box, and hit Enter. Then type "ping your.router's.ip.address". Often it's 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. If you don't know what it is, type "ipconfig /all" at the prompt in the cmd window and look for the "default gateway" address.)

Check the plug itself. Make sure there aren't any pins bent/missing.

Thank there, i will try it as soon as possible... which is probably Thursday
My computer is probably 6 months to a year older at most.


@SaintessHeart: i think you should analyse the information and predict the possible outcome before deciding the next step. If it's too risky then do not.

[thevil1]

If you want it resized for AS signature use, you should ask here. I may not be sure what your asking since your English isn't perfect. Can you try to explain? I want to help you.

@rafael1932 - after you have uploaded the image you wish to be your signature, click 'Insert Signature Picture'. It's in blue writing; you can see it on the picture you inserted into your post.

What is reputation?

Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.

Reputation may be positive Reputation Icon , negative Reputation Icon or neutral Reputation Icon. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.

How do I give reputation?

To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.

How do I know what reputation I have received?

You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.

How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?

If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.

What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?

You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.

To award to people who have rep enabled, you want to click the button that looks like this . Then it is appropriate to leave a comment as to how/why you are reping that post.
To check your own rep, go to User Control Panel.
The rules on reputation are taken very seriously. I suggest you view the reputation rules.
It can be confusing at first, but after a while you'll get used to it. You can also disable it if you ever feel the will to do so.

Spoiler for Reputation Rules:

Originally Posted by Reputation Rules

4.0 Reputation Rules

These rules apply only to the Reputation System and have been included in The Rules due to an increasing trend in reputation abuse.

Any reputation awards that violate these rules will either be edited or deleted. Members found breaking the Reputation Rules will be given a warning and have their reputation degraded to prevent further abuse. Members who continue to break the Reputation Rules may be officially barred from awarding Reputation to other members. Any attempt to violate this restriction will result in a permanent ban.
4.1 Other rules still apply

Please remember that all General Rules apply to the Reputation System.
4.2 Awarding reputation

Deliberate, targeted and excessive awarding of reputation in an attempt to significantly alter another member's reputation is considered abusive, both when awarding positive or negative reputation. The reputation system is to be used for feedback and fun not for belittling or discrediting other members. This does not mean that you cannot award negative feedback; just that common sense and restraint should be observed.
4.3 Do not include images or links

You are not permitted to post images or links through the Reputation System. The Reputation System is designed to allow members to provide constructive feedback on posts, not to distribute images and links.
4.4 Please do not post about reputations

If you feel you have received an inappropriate reputation award please contact a member of staff. Please do not make posts or comments in The Forum complaining about such events. In addition, please do not request or "beg" for reputation points as this will be considered a violation of The Rules.

Please Note: If you do not like the Reputation System, the reputation awards you receive or these rules, then please do not complain about them in The Forum. Simply hide your reputation level via your User Control Panel and do not participate.

Are there any side effects to eating entire boxes of cherry tomatoes within 2-3 hours? I don't know why I am currently addicted to them.

Must be the supermarket vegetable sale.

Not that I know of, I love cherry tomatoes. You might get a little stomach gas, but nothing serious. Just make sure you rinse them well before you eat 'em. The chemicals that they spray them with can't be good.

Im looking for an AMV, called "Trinkling Snow", from the anime Kanon (2006).

Thanks anyway.

er...how do i embed video in this forum? whats the code?

[thevil1]

You want to use the Youtube tags
so say you wanted to embed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7T5kFuJ6CM&feature=sub
The code would look as follows
[youtube]X7T5kFuJ6CM&feature=sub[/ youtube]
The part after the "watch?v=" goes in between the tags.
Does this make sense?

Actually, to make it simpler.

Quote this post to see the code.

Cheers.

[thevil1]

That works to. But one thing that can be confusing is what part of the link to use.
