There are faster speeds offered through two techniques: proprietary "speed boost" systems and "pre-N" technologies. The proprietary systems work ok, but both your wireless router/…

i see more expensive wireless access points out there. would it even be worth it to get a better one? if so what is a really good one around 120 dollars?

So, my beautiful new MacBook showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Happily I unwrapped it (amazing how Apple can even make their packing styrofoam look cool) but I was immediately b…

Need more info: network settings, particularly your router's security settings, are probably the culprit. Using WEP? That is a bit of a pain when adding a Mac to an existing netw…

So you've got access to your wireless LAN, but the internet doesn't work through the MBP? That seems really odd to me, I can't imagine what settings on the Mac would prevent intern…

Thanks for the suggestions and offers for help! I accidentally came across the solution. I simply needed to change the "Channel" setting on my linksys router from channel 6 to ch…

It could easily have been an interference issue; just about EVERY new wireless access point/router comes out of the box set for channels 6 or 7, and not many people do anything but…

I was perusing the Rosetta web site yesterday and was looking at the computers that some of the top performers were using to crunch. Similar hardware to mine, but they are getting…

Probably an optimized client. What machine are you running? Memory? Disk space? Speed? Is it running anything else or just that? Does it run 24/7? Are you talking about RAC (…

I don't get it, you are asking PC questions in a Mac forum? PC crunchers I know use Crunch3rs Optimized Clients + Tux Benchmark Optimization. EDIT: uhm OK forget it, you are talk…

I literally halved the amount of seconds it took for my Linux box to crunch a seti block (from 14,000 seconds to just under 6000) by going to Crunch3r's optimized client and switc…

Oh, read also the last messages in the Altivec Optimized client thread: talking about how to get more credit for a work unit depending on how it is sent.

How on earth can you game a system like that? I don't understand how you could cheat. I'd heard about cheats on Seti classic but I didn't get how they were doing that either. …

Call me ignorant then. Okay, I can see WHY people would cheat but I'm not talking about that. Unless you are specifically finding a way to EDIT the work unit while it is being pr…

How long has it been since the airport extreme debuted? The airport express was a nice gadget but shouldn't there be another update to the airport family soon? I have never worke…

You must be cautious when considering a third party's extremely high rate claims; they ALL depend on having THEIR client hardware and thus you cannot reach those speeds with an Air…

Glenn, thanks for the words. I'm personally not concerned with range as I have a G5, my wife has the XP laptop. In fact, I may use the ethernet connection on the ABS. I also hav…

Yes, the Express will act as a range extender for an AirPort Base Station. Will it act as a repeater for an AirPort card? Good darn question! Sorry I can't help with that...I …

I wonder if anyone has figured out how to get the Airport Express to support the modem on its usb port. Since I have a Macbook Pro I had to buy the modem. But I would be much hap…
