[MBZ] Garage Door Tutorial
Thanks, Barry. What you made available was exactly what I was looking for. I plan to sit down and review that material in the next couple of days. To answer Max and Philip's questions, I have a double wide (two car) overhead garage door with Holmes jamb type door hardware, two springs on each side, and a Craftsman chain driven opener. As opposed to the newer rollup type door. I want to understand how this hardware works, and how to adjust and service it, in case I ever need to adjust or repair it. My interest in this was prompted by a problem I have with the chain drive opener. The chain has jumped the cog wheel on the opener motor. I need to now find out how to get it back on the cogwheel. I see no way to shorten the distance between the motor and the other end without taking it all apart. I am not sure if I should just try to pry it back on the wheel. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My problem is exacerbated by lack of easy access, as I have intalled shelving around and near the motor to hold all the things I've collected over the years for auto ( I have five) and home repair.

Agreed. A couple of years ago, a rancher came to me asking how she could control the gopher epidemic on her property without poison. Weird, I said, that the snakes and coyotes aren't doing the job for you. Coyotes? She replied. Hell, we shot all of them. Mother Nature is the original gardener, and she's been at it for a billion years plus. Cooperate with her and things will go smoothly. Fight her and, after a long and costly conflict, you will lose. Predator piss will tend to keep the wee beasties away. You can buy fox urine for this purpose online.

Re: [MBZ] Stranded in Oklahoma City, OK
Thank you Kaleb. He's in a real pickle. All of this is happening during a MOVE back to Montreal from California (this wasn't just a car run), so there is a lot going on. And if his I-told-you-so wife doesn't kill him after this it will be a miracle. She's actually been great about it, but everyone has a limit... Will keep everyone posted. I just hope that it is the pump or the valve, and not the main bearings or something. But i guess there's no real way to know that without an overhaul. D.

They had three techs spend the afternoon doing diagnostics etc and two things happened: 1) They only charged him ONE hour labour (this, I think, is VERY generous of them and commendable), plus $47 for an oil change (changed to thicker oil in hopes it would improve a bit - it didn't) 2) They believe that he may need either the pressure limit valve or the oil pump, and suggest both for good measure. Neither is in stock and will arrive Wednesday at the earliest. They are saying 1.5 hours labour to remove the pan, replace the pump and valve, and put it all back. That seems VERY reasonable to me. The techs said the engine ran great, no signs of rod knock or bearing problems. Lots of power, no smoke, etc. And my friend noted that it burned only maybe a pint of oil in the 1600 high-speed miles they have driven. That is great for a 617. His problem is that he needs to be in Montreal by Friday at the latest. He is travelling with a friend/co-worker who is muling a BMW back as well, so they could leave the MB and come back for it later (like, in a month or so), but I doubt the dealer would entertain parking it for that long. Do any listers near OK City have a parking spot for a nice tidy W115 for a few weeks? Also, rather than a new $500 oil pump, he was wondering if anyone near OKC has a used oil pump for a 617.910 that they don't need??

My mom also uses this concoction of Tabasco, egg, black pepper, vinegar, and water to deter the cotonbottoms from getting into the non-fenced section of the garden with the taters and squash. I think it was 2 eggs, half a cup of Tabasco, quarter cup black pepper, a few cups of vinegar, and mix with water in a gallon jug. Seems to have worked great.

[MBZ] OT Tubernets questions
My DSL connection has been quite funky lately, random bursts of not getting internet, though the light on the DSL modem shows a DSL lock, then it will blink, then sometimes reconnect, sometimes not. If I restart the modem I might get a lock, might not. This seems to happen now and again, then go for awhile with no troubles at all, then wham, it happens again. Recently it has been funky for a week or more. I looked at the modem log just now and it shows a problem connecting with an ATT (Bellsouth) DNS server in Atlanta (I whoised through google the IP address it was having trouble connecting too == lo it seems to have had problems before). Solast week I spent like an hour on the phone with some Indian dude who kept telling me he understood how frustrated I was, and apologizing for every issue and such. He said he ran a bunch of tests and my connection was fine, etc. even though it was up and down the whole time we were talking. He finally reached the end of his script and suggested my modem was flaky (which I suppose it could be) and the firmware was failing or something. Well maybe. But that doesn't really explain the up/down, goes fine for quite awhile, etc. issue. This DNS thing in the modem suggests to me that the servers somewhere are having issues, which is an ISP problem. Calling the help line is not going to result in any of them having any clue as to what to do, so the issue comes back to how do I resolve this We are pretty close to a remote switch or substation or something, maybe like a half mile or so up the road. I ran a new connection to the network interface and straight to my modem, so that cnxn is probably good. Whether the net interface and line to it is good is a question, but the intermittent problem does not suggest a line fault. Any ideas how to deal with ATT to get them to fix this problem?

Re: [MBZ] OT Tubernets questions
Seems to be failing to reach a DNS server. It is most likely the one set by your ISP. That is an ISP problem, unless your ISP allows you to manually set up the DNS server the modem goes to. (doubtful) As for getting ATT to fix a server, good luck with that. One time I was able to find a phone number for ATT network support and called it. The guy who answered tried pinging the server in question, and determined that I was right, then told me that since I was not the ATT customer, Mediacommies were the customer, he could not take a repair request from me. I told him he could pretend he discovered it. As long as they got the server up, I didn't care who did or did not report it. It got fixed.

Try using Google's DNS instead, IP 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Or maybe sign up with OpenDNS, they will also block your more unsavory sites if you so desire.

Re: [MBZ] Got spam?
Yeah, I have had no formal training for A+, but I figured I could probably pass it. I recently started a Security+ class with the expectation that it would add some value to my resume. It was an extension of a curriculum that was after the A+ training - the first two nights of my Security+ class were spent doing test review for A+, since the guys in my class had just finished the A+ content and were getting ready to test. When I saw how easy the content was on the practice tests, I figured I could easily pass it. Today's test was the 701 section on general knowledge - I got an 810 out of 900. Thursday's is practical stuff, but that shouldn't be too bad compared to today's test. Sad thing is, only 1 of 3 of my classmates have passed the A+ test so far. I'm going to put a real damper on things when I go back next week (we're on spring break this week) and they find out how I did I really want to take the Server+ class, but I'm having a difficult time finding it offered around here. The school district does Adult Ed. classes (which is where I'm taking my Security+ class) but if there is no demand, they don't do it. Network+ would be nice, too.

Re: [MBZ] OT Tubernets questions
Its worth trying a different modem. The Motorola 2210's are dirt cheap on eBay. I've had no problem using ones from different areas (Bell South modems work in SBC Northeast region). If your link fails, chances are you will notice it on the next new request which will be preceded by a dns lookup - so it may not be a DNS issue even though you get a DNS error. Try 8.8.8.8 . It has been rock solid for me. -Dave Walton On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 2:55 PM, Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net wrote: My DSL connection has been quite funky lately, random bursts of not getting internet, though the light on the DSL modem shows a DSL lock, then it will blink, then sometimes reconnect, sometimes not. If I restart the modem I might get a lock, might not. This seems to happen now and again, then go for awhile with no troubles at all, then wham, it happens again. Recently it has been funky for a week or more. I looked at the modem log just now and it shows a problem connecting with an ATT (Bellsouth) DNS server in Atlanta (I whoised through google the IP address it was having trouble connecting too == lo it seems to have had problems before). Solast week I spent like an hour on the phone with some Indian dude who kept telling me he understood how frustrated I was, and apologizing for every issue and such. He said he ran a bunch of tests and my connection was fine, etc. even though it was up and down the whole time we were talking. He finally reached the end of his script and suggested my modem was flaky (which I suppose it could be) and the firmware was failing or something. Well maybe. But that doesn't really explain the up/down, goes fine for quite awhile, etc. issue. This DNS thing in the modem suggests to me that the servers somewhere are having issues, which is an ISP problem. Calling the help line is not going to result in any of them having any clue as to what to do, so the issue comes back to how do I resolve this We are pretty close to a remote switch or substation or something, maybe like a half mile or so up the road. I ran a new connection to the network interface and straight to my modem, so that cnxn is probably good. Whether the net interface and line to it is good is a question, but the intermittent problem does not suggest a line fault. Any ideas how to deal with ATT to get them to fix this problem? Or is it a box problem? --R Here is the log, it just disconnected and restarted the connection again.

Re: [MBZ] Got spam?
In fairness to the others in the class, none of them have much, if any, prior computer experience. That, and the semester of measurements I had in college goes a long way when it comes to test taking. It's all strategy, and even if you don't know the answer, if you know how the questions are constructed you probably raise your chances of getting it right to well over 75% or more. There were a total of six people in the class besides me, and only four of them have tested so far. A couple of them are just kids out of high school, so they are unfamiliar with a certification test environment, too. One who took it and failed was openly spooked by the process, having their pockets cleaned out, being in a room with windows where people are constantly watching you, etc. It is an intimidating process if you've never done it before.

[MBZ] OT: THE LAST NICKEL
A father walks into a restaurant with his young son... He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face... The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back.. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well-dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's' testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly...After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic.

Re: [MBZ] OT Tubernets questions
OK I see on the winders TCP/IP properties that I can put in some DNS addresses (it is checked to obtain automatically now) but I think it is my DSL modem that is trying to connect to a DNS server; otherwise, how do all the other boxes know where to go (or put another way, how is it they all try to go to the same DNSs automatically?)? I see I can do something similar on the iMac. Would I need to set all the connected devices to go to a specific DNS address? Not sure I can do that on the AppleTV box, and if I have random laptops jumping on the wireless, will they try to go to the ATT servers that appear to be problematic? Which box exactly is it that tries to get to a DNS and fails? Or is it something else in the modem preventing that automatic access? --R (learning these arcane details) On 4/26/2011 11:16 PM, Craig wrote: On Tue, 26 Apr 2011 23:13:19 -0400 Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net wrote: It was fairly well behaved this evening, even streaming Netflix only gorked once.

Re: [MBZ] OT Tubernets questions
You have a DSL modem, and a wireless router, correct? Typically the wireless router is handing out IP addresses to your devices using DHCP; it also tells the devices what the DNS is so you set this up in your router. You probably get to the router admin settings by going to http://192.168.1.1 and logging in as admin or root, then look around for the DNS settings. You may need to consult your router instructions or do some googling on the specific model.

Which box exactly is it that tries to get to a DNS and fails? Or is it something else in the modem preventing that automatic access? If you have DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) enabled, yes, the modem will assign local addresses for all of your machines as well as DNS addresses. Try setting specific Domain Name Service (DNS) addresses on one machine and see if that solves the problem. Note, you may have to assign the machine a specific local Internet Protocol (IP) address, too. You can do that by looking at the address it's assigned by the modem, and then using an address that has the same first three numbers the same and the fourth about 20 higher. I would expect local address of the form of one of the following: 10.0.0.x 172.16.0.x 192.168.0.x with maybe the last zero a one. Craig p.s.
