OK shamus keeping with basic troubleshooting how long are your CAT5 cables from your workstations to the hub?
Remember 802.3 is limited to 100 meter segment lengths before a repeater is needed.
Sorry for the delay. Been busy as hell for the last couple of days...........
You're talking about attenuation. That's packet loss, not packet collision. Nice try though.
That's not the problem. Any other ideas? -

General settings for ImgTool? The best place to ask (not that we don't know
) is the ImgTool forums. CouJo will be all too happy to help. Great bloke. Tell him I said "Hi!" I might drop into the ImgTool forums myself (it's been a while) and ask me ol' mate CouJo if he can implement a change to his program that calls ImgBurn instead of DVD Decrypter for burning. That is, of course, if someone hasn't already beaten me to it. Lightning - Talked to CouJo lately?

Ah! A tweaker! LOL!!
Seriously though, ASPI is mainly there for compatibility with 98/Me. Stick with SPTI (or ElbyCDIO or Patin-Couffin) for reliability.

That's what I suspected. I had a debate with an expert yesterday (I'm only a dumb forklift driver) regarding this very topic. All of my PCs have gigabit NICs. They connect to a 16-port gigabit switch (a DLink DGS-1016D if that matters) and my speeds across the network suck. On a good day, maybe 25megs/sec. Usually less. Obviously, network traffic, CPU, HDs and all that other crap has an effect on throughput. Trouble is that I outfitted these things under the impression that I'd get blistering network speeds, read/write speeds of HDs dependent. Even copying from a high speed RAID drive to a SATA drive (both running in AMD64s) doesn't give me the performance I expected. Is it a case of "stiff shit" or can the performance be optimised? Can something be tweaked? Opinions? Abuse?

Something like this one, with a less tacky design of course:
The two horizontal bars indicate buffer level, the yellow popup as usual comes up only when the mouse is hovering above the icon.
Like what one? You mean this?

Guys (and experts in particular), I'm after some help with networking. What I need to know is how to increase throughput speed over a network (if it's possible) by decreasing packet collisions (if there are any). Will a dedicated server on a domain alleviate packet collisions? If I need to run a server, what the hell is my gigabit switch doing? Afterall, it's supposed to route packets efficiently. Kirk, I'm looking in your direction.
Any help? Anyone? -
Just to add to Lightning_UK's post (sorry, Boss), it polls to check for a newer version. It can't check for a new version without first checking if a connection is available. As the Big Fella pointed out above, ImgBurn does that by checking 1 of 3 of the largest (and most reliable) sites there is and if it finds a connect, it then polls the ImgBurn server and checks for a newer version. 'Tis all.

been done, This arthor can no longer
I was unaware Lightning's real name was Arthur.

As far as I'm aware it should work but I might be just having a blonde moment. I have to ask why you'd want to though. The native driver for win2k/XP (SPTI) works just fine. The ElbyCDIO.device (available with the demo version of CloneDVD) is a good alternative if things aren't working properly using SPTI. What seems to be the problem?

Weird, mate. Let us know how you go, huh?

"Our results may help the public at large realise that we are less intelligent than rodents," the researchers write.
Would be more apt.......
Wasn't the Cane (spelling?) toad introduced to Oz to elminate another pest, only it became a bigger one ?
Yeah. The problem was that the Cane Toad (Bufo Marinus and don't ask me why I know that), just can't jump high enough to get to where the beetles nest. It's one of the biggest clusterfucks this country has seen. They're in plague proportions here in Queensland. Try this link if you've got 5 minutes to waste. You might find it amusing.

) don't you wish all software developed this way? excellent, cheers
Just incase you didn't find it, here's a quick snap of what it looks like next to a rather familiar icon..

A scientific experiment turned into a very long rat race of trying to catch the critter.
Undated -- It seemed like a good idea. Let a lone rat loose on a rodent-free island and then figure out how to kill it. That way, when other islands are invaded by rats, you'll know what to do.
Scientists figured they'd trap this foot-long varmint in no time.
Eighteen weeks later, they finally trapped it with some fresh penguin bait. On another island.
Rodents are a problem just about everywhere. In New Zealand, at least 11 islands have been invaded by Norway rats since 1980, in each case after rats from earlier invasions had been eradicated. The invaders disrupt local ecosystems.
In the new study, a Norway rat was originally lured into a trap with chocolate. Its DNA was recorded, and the rat was outfitted with a radio collar and set free on the tiny island of Motuhoropapa off the coast of New Zealand.
With no rats to compete with, the test subject traversed the entire island for about four weeks before settling on a home range, data from the radio collar showed.
For the next four weeks, conventional rat-trapping techniques were employed, snap traps, live traps and waxed devices, without success.
After 10 weeks, the radio signal was lost.
Then the researchers found rat feces on the island of Otata, 1,300 feet away across the open ocean. The DNA was a match, confirming a suspicion scientists had, that rats were good swimmers.
The elusive creature had made the longest confirmed open-water crossing of any rodent in history.
Different methods were used on Otata: buried traps, peanut butter, poison and even trained dogs. Not until more than four months after its release was the rat finally killed, in a trap baited with fresh penguin.
The scientists, led by James Russell at the University of Auckland, sagely conclude that conventional methods didn't work well. They also have an idea why: Being alone, the rat didn't behave as it would have in a rat-infested city; and with no competition for food, the bait was less attractive than it otherwise would have been.
The results are detailed in the Oct. 20 issue of the journal Nature.
"Our results may help in the design of conservation strategies to keep islands free of invasive rodents," the researchers write.

@Shamus. Which firmware you got in on your pioneer 109. ?
And regardless of which firmware you got in, have you ever had discs failing to start to burn, ie @ about 23*-seconds it should go from leadin to write image, it even goes over a couple of minutes and is not writing anything so i have to cancel, does this with a few diff kinds of media, this is with the old program you were beta on.. just curious to see if this happened to you, thanks
Im using 1.58 i think whichever is latest.
Using 1.58 also. Can't say that I've seen the problem you're having..... with either of my 109s or with that old program. The problem is intermittent?

Shamus_McFartfinger, thanks for the reply but im sorry i asked, i have no clue what any of that meant sorry
Well, instead of selecting an image and then burning it, then selecting another image and burning it - the queue feature allows you to select a bunch of images to be burned one after another. In the picture above from my previous post you can see 6 images selected. All I have to do to burn all 6 is just keep feeding disks into the drive. Once an image is burned, take the disk out and throw in another one for ImgBurn to continue. It's a snappy feature.

Its a top function isn't it Shamus ?
I reckon it's a great feature. I really must put it to work.......... when I get some spare time. *sigh*

What I remember most was a sort of running gag cartoon feature that was parodying Buck Rogers and the like sci-fi shows.
I agree with the guys. It sounds like Kelly Enema. The cartoon you're thinking of is most likely Captain Kremin. <sp?>

One of the great things about ImgBurn is the queue feature which allows you to add multiple images to a list and have a user-defined amount of copies of each burned automagically. Not sure if it's in the public release (I don't think it it is), but it's in the latest beta version. Keep your eye out for a new version.

Image maker

Hi guys. I would like to start freeing up my space. So I am trying to find a program which creates an image from say a directory or a selection of files.I use UltraISO for creating image files. It's not free but I think it's the best at what it does, even allowing you to open/edit/view/add to ISO/BIN/etc images. Great program.

Also, grab the latest firmware for your drive as well as checking the ID of your media.

Who knows? Possibly a codec problem. Unlikely but possible. To find out, grab the K-Lite Codec Pack and install it.
Grab it from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

I haven't because it's such a pain in the arse to climb around behind my desk with leads and shit everywhere. I don't suppose I really have a choice though, huh? I'll have a crack at it later (just finished work an hour ago). I get the same sort of speeds you do. I'll try a crossover later and get back to you.
