Hi Boomer!

I apologize for not being here to help you.

Let me see.

On a wireless router/gateway, you should be able to access it from a computer that you have PLUGGED INTO IT by CABLE by typing the router address.

That should get you to a screen from which you can set up a wifi password of your own choosing.

BARRING THIS,

if you have at home an existing wireless router you are not using, or care to buy one cheaply ( I use TP LINK) you can connect a wireless router into an available port on the gateway supplied by comcast.

THEN, after plugging in your router you could connect one of your computers to the new wireless router by plugging a cable into the back of the new router and to the network adapter of your computer, be it a laptop or a desktop.

CHeck the paperwork that came with your new wi-fi router and see how to set up security settings and password. It will tell you what to type in your address bar and hit the enter key.

Then, once you have entered a password for your wi-fi setup, you should be able to connect to the new wireless router with every wireless computer you have.

This is a work around for ya that will work.

Hope this helps and I will check back!


My best to you Boomer!

micro.... Very Happy

Well, I did it again.....I took the offer from Comcast for an Arrus all in one modem/router/gateway. I knew the minute I opened the package that it was/is a rip. Setup assistance is minimal and extended help is only available for a fee.
My problem....My Nexus and Dell laptop cannot connect wifi because the system qwill not accept the password that I enter. WHICH is the password on the modem tag. My wife's PC is ok....On it I entered the SSID name and Assigned password and ouila! I was hoping that I could simply reset the darn thing and start over.....but bot so simple.
Any thoughts....good or bad will be appreciated. I am not above buying a new modem as I have a new router anyhoo. Still would need Comcast to activate BUT rent savings would offset cost.

THANX in advance

Boomer,

I know you're unhappy with no responses - but our knowledge base over here isn't as extensive as it was on RB - not everyone transferred over so there are fewer of us and the traffic isn't near as great, so with people being busy, the site doesn't get checked near as often as it used to.

I'm no help on this one - I have no answers for you - so I'm no help. :-(

Anyone interested -

Did you know that while you're sleeping, you could be helping Stanford research and possibly help find a cure for a number of diseases? A number of us are contributing to the project - it's free, there's no charge - you just sign up, install a small program, and let Stanford use your computer whenever you're not using it yourself.

A few of the things we're helping with are listed below. If anyone drops by and has any interest in joining us in the effort, please post that and we'll help you get started. If you venture forth - we're team 328 and the group is more than willing to answer questions or coach you through the process.

I knew a few of the things that that Stanford was studying, but I wasn't aware how the list had grown:
- Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
- Huntington's Disease (HD)
- Cancer and P53
- Chagas Disease
- Malaria
- Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
- Diabetes
- Antibiotics
- Parkinson's Disease (PD)
- Viral diseases

And below are some of the steps forward that we've helped Stanford with - from their website:

2012 We're very excited to report on our progress towards our goal to develop new small molecule drug candidates for AD. In a paper just published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, we report on tests of predictions from earlier Folding@home simulations, and how these predictions have led to a new strategy to fight Alzheimer's Disease. These results have been a long time in coming and in many ways represents a major achievement for Folding@home (FAH) in general. While this is not a cure, it is a major step towards our final goal, some light at the end of the tunnel. The next steps, now underway in our lab, are to take this lead compound and help push it towards a viable drug. We're very excited that the directions set out in this paper do appear to be bearing fruit in terms of a viable drug (not just a drug candidate). We hope to have more results in the coming months!

2012 Dr. Peter Kasson has been applying his work on viruses to cancer, as many cancers are virus-associated.
At FAHcon 2012, Dr. Xuhui Huang presented our recent results of the molecular mechanisms of gene transcription. Transcription is the first step in reading genomic DNA, and regulation of this process plays a key role in cell differentiation and other fundamental processes. Misregulation of transcription is a major factor in cancer and other human diseases. Our simulation results are able to provide dynamic information for the transcription, and this dynamic information is largely inaccessible to present experimental techniques.
We're studying the folding of ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein found in almost all cells in human body. It is part of a large regulatory system that labels other unneeded proteins for destruction. The ubiquitin system has an important role in regulating cellular growth and proliferation. As expected, alterations in the ubiquitin system could lead to uncontrolled accumulation of malignant proteins in cells and lead to cancer.
We are simulating many forms of Pin1 WW domain, a protein implicated in some cancers and Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the role of mutations on misfolding can have important biomedical consequences.
We assisted Chris Garcia's lab with their work with Interleukin 2 (IL-2), a protein which assists the immune system in fighting pathogens and cancer tumors. While injecting a patient with more IL-2 has been an effective cancer treatment, naturally occuring IL-2 has very serious side effects. We helped the Garcia lab to discover a form of IR-2 that was more "floppy", which greatly increased its cancer-fighting potency. This means that it's possible to admister theurapedic doses of it without causing the side effects. Stanford has applied for a patent, and several major pharmaceutical companies approached the Garcia lab about this discovery. Please see this paper and this article for more information.

And July 2012 - Our group [http://choderalab.org] is using Folding@Home to understand how some successful anti-cancer therapeutics (like imatinib) are able to selectively target the targeted disease-causing kinases while minimally interfering with other normally-functioning kinases. A deeper understanding of this selectivity would help recapitulate the success seen in treating some cancers by aiding the design of novel therapeutics targeting other cancers. Up to now, the origin of this selectivity has been elusive because it appears that highly selective drugs like imatinib can bind in essentially the same way to the highly similar Abl and Src kinases, despite the fact that it binds Abl well and Src poorly (see Figure). It is now believed these differences in binding are due to conformational preferences of the kinase for different geometries, something that had been traditionally hard to study but is well-suited to techniques we originally developed to study protein folding problems on Folding@Home.

Guys,

Hollywood is down. I got the new motherboard installed, new CPU installed, new fan installed, new hard drive installed and I think I got all the case connections installed.

Tried firing her up and she starts up. Insert the installation disk for Windows, she starts through everything, but right after it tells me Windows is starting up, a blue screen comes up that says "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to protect your system" Says is that's the first time you've seen that screen, to try a restart. Restart results in the same situation.

It gives some numbers at the bottom of that screen, but I have no idea what they mean or where to find what they mean?

Stop: 0x0000007B (0xf78D2524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Any suggestions out there? :-(

I did not install the video card yet, past experience has told me to take this one step at a time and try it. Then another step and try it - so I've just installed enough to get her running and try her.

I tried it both with the new Windows XP disk that I got as well as with the old one that was loaded on her before this tear down. They both get to the same point and give me the same message
