      Network engineer visitted my place and replaced a wall socket where the green       tv/coax cable comes in.              Also new splitter attached.              He had a funny little usefull amazing trick though.              Instead of connecting the coax cable to the splitter, he directly connected it       to the television.              Mysteriously enough this removed the noise from the cable.              Exact cause of noise remains unclear. We were too busy talking about other       computer tech. I kinda regret this a little bit but the guy was so       enthousiastic lol.              The wall socket was replaced, he commented: "boy this one is old"... and took       a photo of it with his phone or something... he also had a "rugged-laptop" or       something pretty cool.              I still don't understand why replacing the wall socket fixed the noise signal.              Perhaps the green cable wasn't properly attached not sure.              He snipped some parts of... probably shortened the cable a little bit.              Maybe his "chatting about other tech" was a diversion tactic so that I would       not bug him with question about his work ! LOL. So funny.              Anyway... tv noise is gone... except one channel still has stutter...       time-wise... like youtube video going back and forth in time.              He agreed that this was not cased inside my home but outside/somewhere else.              Anyway... if this "fix" will make my cable modem work better is hard to tell ;)       Maybe speed/latency will be a bit better.. not sure.              Just glad I can now watch tv films a little bit better, until analog signal       stops... television company will go "full digital" soon... in a few months or       so... hope they don't though :)              I will try to enter my cable modem via 192.168.1.1.              "       The connection was reset              The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.               The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few       moments.        If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network       connection.        If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure       that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.       "              From public ip did not connect, it should connect though cause modem just       scans for it. I could try local IP, but I don't think it will work. I would be       surprised if it did.              Just for kicks I will try it after posting this message.              If I dont report back then consider it still a problem.              Now that I think about it... I should have let him take a look at it instead       of talking about computer tech ! LOL.              There were other funny things... but I won't tell cause it may be embarrasing       for him lol... which is funny... but you may guess lol.              I did found it slightly frustrating cause I kinda wanted to talk the shit out       of him about these tech issues... but oh well..              Nice diversion ! Nice diversion ! Well done ! ;) =D              Bye,        Skybuck :)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
