[16:41] <just1n> I'd like to be able to simply connect it to my router
[16:43] <Mill> a computer :P
[16:44] <just1n> eh, i dont want it reliant on a seperate box
[16:45] <just1n> ill google for some sort of device
[16:48] <Keith^> Mill, your answer was to simple

[16:49] <BillGates> just1n, get a router that supports usb printer
[16:49] <Mill> delt with my hands in a breaker box half the day... I've had enough of putting
[16:49] <BillGates> or jetdirect i guess
[16:50] <just1n> how bout these $35 devices that hook directly to my current router?
[16:50] <Mill> try it
[16:52] <Harlock> there use usb print servers
[16:52] <just1n> I used to use a seperate computer, but that was virtually the only use it ha

[18:56] <BillGates> i dont see anything about being dropped
[18:56] <Keith^> BillGates, have you noticed how people forget to tell you the little things
[18:57] <BillGates> heh
[18:58] <bleep> hi :)
[18:58] <Keith^> high
[18:58] <bleep> my windows xp keeps freezing up periodically when I have my ipod plugged in
[18:58] <bleep> actually im not even sure it's the ipod..
[18:58] <bleep> but every process freezes completely.. mp3 playing skips, etc
[18:59] <bleep> can someone give me a magical solution to make it stop ? :)
[18:59] <BillGates> what is taks manager saying about cpu usage
[18:59] <BillGates> task
[18:59] <bleep> when it unfreezes everything shows normal
[18:59] <bleep> almost 100% idle
[18:59] <bleep> when it's frozen i can't see cuz its froze
[18:59] <BillGates> um
[18:59] <bleep> i wonder if it's heat related.. but i've never seen a heat related lockup bef
[18:59] <bleep> oh just happened again
[19:00] <bleep> i loaded task man
[19:00] <BillGates> is the hard drive working alot?
[19:00] <bleep> im hoping something will spike
[19:00] <bleep> not really
[19:00] <bleep> just playing an mp3 and talking on mirf
[19:00] <bleep> mirc
[19:00] <bleep> SYstem is using up 20%
[19:00] <bleep> System
[19:00] <bleep> usually that reads 0
[19:01] <bleep> right ?
[19:01] <Keith^> depends
[19:01] <bleep> happened again
[19:01] <bleep> like 2-3 seconds of just frozen
[19:01] <bleep> mp3 skipping.. etc
[19:01] <bleep> screen locked totally..
[19:01] <bleep> reboots don't fix it
[19:01] <[Gandalf]> when did it start happening? install a program/hardware/etc. shortly bef
[19:02] <bleep> um
[19:02] <bleep> no..
[19:02] <bleep> this how how the system has always been setup mostly..
[19:02] <bleep> is it possible that the usb is the fault ?
[19:02] <bleep> like maybe it's locking up while accessing ipod ?
[19:03] <bleep> cuz whenever i plug in my ipod explorer locks for a minute or two..
[19:03] <BillGates> take it out :p
[19:03] <bleep> yea i've done that a hundred times
[19:03] <[Gandalf]> and?
[19:03] <BillGates> and leave it out
[19:03] <BillGates> does it still lock up?
[19:03] <bleep> hm
[19:03] <bleep> wow that was simple
[19:03] <bleep> another lockup came and i unplugged the ipod
[19:03] <bleep> and the lockup stopped happening
[19:03] <bleep> so it is the pod..
[19:03] <BillGates> what system board?
[19:04] <bleep> but it doesn't happen on other computers that i use the pod on
[19:04] <BillGates> is it using usb or firewire?
[19:04] <bleep> usb
[19:04] <bleep> all this laptop has is usb 1.1
[19:04] <bleep> but it shouldn't lockup
[19:04] <BillGates> try finding some chipset drivers
[19:04] <bleep> the cable modem can run through usb 1.1 just fine
[19:04] <bleep> hmm
[19:05] <bleep> im updated totally..
[19:05] <bleep> i checked win update and the sony website
[19:06] <BillGates> heh
[19:06] <bleep> arg
[19:06] <bleep> well at least now i know the prob.. but i cant play music.. which makes me sa
[19:07] <BillGates> why are you playing music OFF the ipod?
[19:08] <TMX1> anyone know how to reset the windows installer service?
[19:08] <TMX1> mine seems fucked somehow and it wont let me install any MSI's anymore
[19:08] <bleep> this laptop doens't have a hard drive big enough to hold all my songs
[19:08] <bleep> so the music sits on the pod
[19:08] <bleep> i thought it was a good idea but now i have realized that was bad..
[19:08] <bleep> probably
[19:51] <bleep> the lockups are continuing just from having the ipod plugged in.. not playing
[19:53] <izz> i have a client who's network when some gimp deployed used their domain name as
[19:54] <BillGates> just fix up their dns
[19:55] <izz> well i added an A record for their www ip in their dns server but still no go b
