AggieDave is correct on all the measurement specs. As to coconut monkey's response: I've always wanted to invent a burglar alarm where instead of a wailing siren, the alarm is the sound of an 870 being charged.

UPDATE: So, when the first Level One Technician at the cable company was called, they told me the conflict was with the 169.xxx.xxx.xxx which began my quest. After several hours, several IT friends and your help, I was still left scratching my head. The cable company sends out Level 3 support, he walks in, looks at the Cable modem without touching a thing and says, "We've had a lot of problems with that modem." Goes out to his truck and brings in a new Motorola, plugs it in and bam... it resolves to a 68.xxx IP address and broadband is connected. End of story. Thanks for your help guys.

If you decide to start psycho-packing.... Please pull and roll to minimze line slop at the end of the roll. Since there is a single twist in the lines from laying it down and the D-bag is put on "upside down," When you flip the D-bag back over and make one stow, run your fingers up through the middle of the lines while first learning to ensure you've "untwisted" the lines in the right direction... then you'll progress to making a visual check of the lines and eventually, it will become habit to flip the D-bag in the right direction.

Thank you, Master. You have taught me well.

Several pages of threads on this topic: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=653448;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;

I want to thank everyone for the feedback. dz.commers.... more than half of us don't know each other personally, but through the common element of skydiving and HH... will help anyone, anytime. Thank you. Keith

If external, a crossover cable is called for. To the rest of your post, yup, yup and yup... except it might be the milk cow gremlins too. Thanks, MH.

Kevin, I think you're close. Unfortunately, I'm not in front of that computer right now and will do some more testing tomorrow... I got a call from hookit, who's gonna step thru a couple more things with me tomorrow while I'm in front of the computer... Thanks everyone for your input... greatly appreciated.

Cable modem was new out of the box. Cable guy dropped it there. Rebooted the modem without the computer connected, with connected, and alternated ipconfig renews in with it.

Yeah.. sorry Is the cable modem getting full sync lights and its showing link? Once the cable modem is linked, how are you connecting it to the PC? Its should be connecting over the CAT5 cable (I hate USB modems). Is the PC showing a network connection? If not this is a major issue. You should not need to install any drivers unless you are using the USB portion of the modem. I perfer the ethernet set up since USB on MS tends to get a little flakey with TCP some times. Uninstall the USB drivers and try and use the network option of the modem. The 169.254.x.x address are the Class B reserved, default IP's for network cards. No big deal there.

Sorry, I forgot to include that in the steps... In the Device Manager, it is not shown. When I went through the procedure for the "Scan for new hardware" I had the beta drivers on their and the only thing it reflected was in the BUS section was "HUB Unknown Device." I deleted the exceptions and ran it again and it would just crash.

1. I cannot ping the router, however, the LAN Properties refelcts packets being sent, but none being received. 2. The Broadband is setup as DHCP and can only use a dynamic IP- statics are costly.

Trying to configure a Gateway notebook 1450 (XP Home) to a Toshiba pcx2000 cable router using an Intel PRO VE 100 Lan card with zero success. Cable company says, "that computer has a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address, not our problem." According to MS, "The range of IP addresses (from 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254) used for APIPA is reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Any IP addresses within this range are not used on the Internet. Here's what I've done and other suggestions would be appreciated. 1. CMD Prompt - ipconfig /release & ipconfig/renew. (in a series of router connected and not connected). 2. In XP; status, repair on the connection.(in a series of router connected and not connected). 3. Updated all drivers. 4. Downloaded the bus drivers for the Toshiba (which are XP Beta and crashed the computer everytime I did a "Scan for new hardware." 5. Set the DHCP to a 10. series 6. Went into the registry >local_machine and drilled down to the LAN adapter (which reflected a different 169.xxx.xxx.xx), added a DWord and set the value to "0", then rebooted and did step 1. 7. I googled, "broadband conflicts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx" and did virtually every suggestion from Tech Forum Guys, experts-exchange, et. al. no success. 8. I went to Gateway and talked to one of their techies to ask him if their was a peripheral device I could put between the computer (there is an open pcmcia slot and bus slot available) and the router to help. He scratched his head and said he thought the cable company should resolve it. I set the computer back to its orginal state before each step attempt... should I be commingling steps, or.... Any "serious" thoughts would be appreciated.

Bigun's crackin up...

I think its fair to say that interest in the sport has grown steady over the past ten years. But, the current economy directs disposable income to sports that have lower penetration costs. Did I imply enough phallicism in that statement?

Personally, I would rather own a Cypres and never need it, than to not own one and need it.

I'm sorry, but I would have to ask you not to lurk me on a Tandem.

Billvon's checklist is here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=47

Hey Airborne. Same thing, only faster. I came in once at around 40mph (I screwed up at the WFFC and had to make an off-field downwind landing). Ten years of military PLFs prepared me for the hit. Three right side PLFs from the inertia and I rolled up on my feet on the last one and brushed myself off.

Whomever chooses to do it will have complete creative & technical ownership. What they choose to use will be their decision.

Thank you, Kris. I think Mr. Newell is looking for a new version rather than tweaking the FrontPage.

All, About three years ago, I realized there was no scr-awards website so folks could review the history, download applications, etc. I spoke with Bill Newell (BBMSC Administrator) and agreed to develop the website in MS Frontpage to keep it simple while he learned some computer skills. At that point, I would migrate the responsibility for the site, updates, changes, aesthetics, etc. to him. Some issues have prevented him from being able to take over this responsibility. Another skydiver added an MS Access database for awardee updates and has been adding them. It was his intention to create a form so that Mr. Newell could input the names of awardees as they occured. However, he got a new techie job which keeps him on the road for a considerable amount of time. Bottom-line... If anyone would like to review and redo the website to bring it up to a newer more "splashier" website using javascript and graphics, please review the site at: www.scr-awards.com There is no remuneration for this project other than giving back to skydiving and an addition to your web portfolio. The URL is paid for and the website hosting is free. The only thing I would have to do is give you the permissions to access the site and you could let your creative juices flow. Think about it and let me know. If you are interested, please contact me with some links to work you've done for review. I will then pass it on to Bill Newell. Edited to add: Whomever chooses to do it will have complete creative & technical ownership. What they choose to use will be their decision.

OK. Now through all of this media hype over the past month or so, the only thing I heard was that he fired a pistol near the Iraqi's head. I never heard anything about the beating. That changes things.

But, you do wear the ring as a symbol of accomplishment. It was probably designed by the School of Engineering...
