Re: [H] Using routers to segment network

The issue we are dealing with is blocking people from sniffing one's wireless traffic. To do this, one must enable WPA and use a good password. Tivo and XBox apparently don't support WPA, only WEP, and one doesn't want to give one's password out, even to friends, so the solution is to put in two wireless routers - one protected by WPA and one open - the open one is used for XBox, Tivo, and friends, and the WPA'd one is used for your own machines. These two routers would go into a third, wired router, to block the possibility of ARP poisoning (since ARP packets don't route.) I was wondering if one could just use a single wired router and single wireless router if one just wanted one open wireless network and a protected wired one. T

RE: [H] Any MythTV users out there?
You are right, if you are using hardware based capture cards then you can build a system with relatively old components. If you use software based capture cards and record in MPEG-4 you will need a beefier system, especially if HDTV is involved. I've been trying to get a MythTV system up and running for the past year on and off. What made it more complicated for me was trying to get DVB-T cards running under Linux. The drivers are still very immature for a lot of these cards, and the Support in MythTV has been completely re-written since I started. My latest install has been with Knoppmyth (which can be installed to hard drive if you want) and it actually recognises all three cards first time and tunes brilliantly. I just need to get the remote working using LIRC as my IR receiver and controller are not directly supported. Hopefully I'll get time for this in the next few weeks. I've been following the development list for Myth for a long time now and there are some major updates planned for the next couple of releases. The LiveTV system has been re-written for the next release, 0.19, along with the handling of digital tuner cards (Both DVB and ATSC I believe). 0.20 should see the UI migrated to a new custom set of APIs enabling more flexibility for plugins, easier coding and better response times, from what I understand at least. Building a MythTV system isn't that easy, especially if you have no or limited Linux experience (like myself) but for a standard system using a PVR-150/250/500 it should be a lot easier than trying to get DVB/ATSC running. Here are a few links that might be useful: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php - Fedora Myth(TV)ology HOWTO http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html - Knoppmyth http://www.mythtv.info/ - unofficial WiKi that is on hold as the data is moving across to the main MythTV site soon. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Zaske Sent: 19 January 2006 05:45 To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] Any MythTV users out there?

Thanks for the link and your experience. @:D Brian Weeden wrote: Here is a good place to get started: http://revision3.com/systm/mythtv/ Kevin Rose and the guys have a 45 min video about how to get a MythTV box running. Not completely in depth, but a good starting point. Knoppmyth tends to be the easiest distro. It is a Linux Live CD - you pop it in, reboot, and boom it does all the work itself. A little configuration and it is up and running. Kevin uses it and there is a link on the systm page to it. Personally I don't use MythTV or MCE to do PVR right now. I use my HTPC simply for playback of DVDs and Xvid files. This is because I use Satellite and there isnt a really good solution for doing PVR of that just yet. I have found that the beefiness of the hardware required is directly related to the res of the video. The higher resolution the video and the higher the compression, the more CPU power you will need. HDTV playback using WMV9 or H.264 needs a 3Ghz P4 to run really smoothly. But, MPEG-2 compression and playback (what TIVO uses and DVDs) works just fine. But then you have 1GB per hour of video as opposed to 350MB for MPEG-4. My box is a nForce 2 mobo with a 1.6Ghz Tbird and 512MB of DDR. I am using an Geforce4 Ti4400 for video playback and have a 1.5 TB RAID 5 array for storage.

Re: [H] Microsoft VM
Francisco, Thanks for the link. But, I've BTDT. There is nothing there to dl and possibly get MS's version of VM working. Or, I just did not see it. Like I can not decode most of the titles to figure out what's what. It seems that MS would much rather not be involved at my OS choice. No harm, no foul. ... Just odd.

Is this normal? If not, is there a dl link to recover it? Will a repair install for IE6.0 bring it back? There are web sites I visit where some sort of Java is needed to do business. I do realize that many feel the MS VM and Sun Java can be a security hole, but at this point, I'm just trying to either get the MS VM back, or, try the Sun JRE. Things like banking and info retrieval are a major part of life for me online. I am aware of past skirmishs 'tween Sun and MS regarding Java code issues.
