How is a FDDI network like a Token Ring network How is it different?
Both Token Ring and FDDI use the concept of a ring topology structure. However, Token Ring is used in a LAN, and FDDI is used in a MAN.
Token Ring is implemented with copper cable (UTP cable) and FDDI uses Fiber Optic cable.
Finally, the protocols are very different between the two. FDDI uses a synchronous type of transmission, where Token Ring uses an actual token (a 3 character packet) to control who has access to transmit or receive on the network. FDDI does not use this technique.

How can the cable company tell if you are stealing cable service?
They open the dome, panel, or box and visually check if the coax cable that feeds internet/televison signals in to a dwelling is physically connected to your house, and if so if you are paying for the service.
Even though the cable may be connected to your house, there might be a filter or blocker inline with the cable, either filtering out TV if you only pay for Internet or blocking the signal completely.
They can also use special equipment to see if you are thwarting the service.

How can you refresh your IP configuration?
In Windows operating systems, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /release," which dumps the automatic address it had, and then "ipconfig /renew," which gets a new address, which will be in the address space that you just changed the router to. Of course you won't type the quotes, and depending on which Windows version you have you may need to make it "release all" and "renew all."
For Mac OS, either restart your computer, or go to the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, choose Network from the View menu, and then Active Network Ports from the View menu. Deselect the "ON" checkbox for your network adapter, click on Apply, then reselect the "ON" checkbox and click Apply again.
Finally you can check your new ip address at IP-Details.com

You used spybot and now my internet connection won't work?
Spybot might not have caused the problem, however if it did, it probably blocked your connection through the Spybot-SD Resident. What you should do if this is the case is look for the icon on your taskbar that is labeled 'Spybot-SD Resident' and right click on it. Then click on 'Settings'. Look through any listed items in the widow that will pop up. If you see anything that talks about your internet connection, Internet Explorer, or 'Wireless Zero Configuration' (if you're connected or trying to connect wirelessly), you could disable it by clicking on the 'X' on the right of the item and this could return your internet connection. However if something is blocking Firefox do not unblock this as it could damage your system or allow in spyware. Note: you should be careful to unblock any items listed, if you unblock them, you could damage your system or allow spyware to enter you system, so only unblock items you know the function of. If this doesn't work, or if you find no items listed in that window (or if you don't have the Spybot Resident installed for some reason) there is one other thing you can try. This only works for wireless connections however. Click on the 'Start' button on your task bar. Click on 'Run'. Type in 'services.msc' (without quotes of course) and hit enter. A window will open; scroll down until you find the item called 'Wireless Zero Configuration', and click on it. Then look in the left-hand bar under 'Computer Browser'. If you see a link that says 'Start', click on it and wait until a progress bar appears and then disappears, then exit the windows and try to start your internet connection. If these things all fail, or you are unsure about something, try to get help from a professional.

Can you use two dsl modems on 1 phone line?
No. You can't connect two modems to one phone line. Your modem is given an IP address from your ISP. This IP number cannot be shared between two modems.
You can however have two phone lines - with two modems - with two accounts from your ISP - plugged into two network cards in one computer.
Be warned, there are many problems with this, and it will take an IT geek to set it up for you.
I'm assuming your goal is to speed up your bandwidth.
The best answer to this is to have a router with two dsl connections often called Dual Wan. There are several issues that will arise having dual wan, but most can be overcome (SMTP outbound for example) with work arounds.
What's needed:
#1) A lot of money: dual WAN routers are NOT cheap!
(several hundreds to over a 1,000 ($,€,£ ))
#2) Two ISP accounts: (again more money - monthly payment) You'll need two IP addresses from your ISP.
If you use two different ISPs this can be a good thing for you if you want to keep almost 100% uptime.
In other words, right now you only have 1 ISP (1 broadband account), if that ISP goes down, your internet goes down; but with two different ISPs, one goes down, you're still up. Unless of course your power
A disadvantage to this is however sending email through your ISP. If you use yahoo / hotmail / gmail this won't be an issue, but if you use yournamehere@yourisp.com this will be an issue due to the outbound SMTP. If however, you use yournamehere@yahoo.com or yournamehere@thecompanyyouworkfor.com there shouldn't be an issue, as those email accounts don't care where the outbound comes from.
Google "Dual Wan" for more detail$ if thi$ i$ an option for you$

Why is my DSL Modem getting hot?
Don't know 'why' but I solved my hot modem and hot router problem. Bought a cheap laptop pad (with the fans) at Big Lots ($8), plugged it into my router, set modem and router on it. They don't get hot anymore.
well, yes but its nothing like the one the show. D: BUT the one on the show was based on world of warcraft (i play it) so if you want to play (world of warcraft) try the ten day trial and if you like it email me (speedy.troy@hotmail.com)

How is comcast in fort Campbell barracks?
Fort Campbell's Internet from Comcast is by far the worst for on base barracks living, its the slowest and most choppy, yet its the only service provider that is allowed to do cable and Internet for the barrack personnel. they refuse to upgrade their services to help the soldiers out and when you call about it all they can say is they are working on it. same thing i heard from them before i deployed for a year as well. Someone is making a killing from that deal while soldiers have to endure slow speeds at a insane cost.
