Nice,

Dropped into Futureshop tonight after a Costco run here in Calgary and they had four 7405GX's delivered last Friday. $1699 canuck bux so I dropped the jing and am warsitting at my kitchen table hehe. Gotta love neighbours with an unsecured 'g' network lol.

I guess I'll be nice though and not download FM05 although I want to.

Damn nice notebook! <-Gotta be good to yerself...

Canuck Bucks is Candian Dollars

the jing, I am guessing is the bling of sorts...he saw it and bought it, right then and there

and warsitting...I love this one... Warsitting, or Wardriving as it was orginated from is using your wireless card to pick up other peoples unsecured internet connection. It is, needless to say, free. It was pioneered by Peter Shipley in 1999, where he "verified" it with GPS cooridinates.

More info on Pete Shipley can be found here:

As for FM05, I haven't the foggiest...

lol!

Yeah

-canuck bux is canadian dollars
-Warsitting is scoffing a neighbours unsecured wireless 'g' from your kitchen table
-FM05 is indeed 3DMark05 which I scored 833 out of the box.

I'm going to replace the O/S later today and tweak it a bit for a better(hopefully) score.

Lol too funny...

I like warsitting I do it with my PDA... But nobody around my house has any wireless networks that are open there's like 3 around here and they're all secure (which is a good thing)

Hmm...

*begins wondering if his firmware for his router supports WPA as he hasn't tried playing with that yet*

Why do you have you SSID visible? If you a concerned enough to turn on WPA, you should at least have your SSID invisible.

It supposedly is invisible, but I can still see it myself. I'm assuming others can too. Also, if they can't see, I can't brag...

This is very true. My SMC 'B' router is a complete peice of junk though. If I use an SMC wifi card connectivity is ok but for instance, I cannot hide my SSID with this poc(piece o' crap). Not only that, I have a desktop with a WMP11 that can lease an IP, however I cannot with the Broadcom 'g' in this notebook.

The MAC filtering is ridiculous as is the the rest of the f/w O/S on this poc. I have setup plenty of wireless networks professionally using Cisco gear(and shudder yes business networks with Linksys umm gear{Anyone ever hear tell of the RV082?}), and lots and lots of home networks. So far though I've just been too cheap to upgrade this unit, now I know why it was $39.95

I'd appreciate opinions on best results with home wifi routers and the Broadcom wifi mini-pci rigs we have...

:/ well I tried turning on WPA and my PDA wouldn't stay connected just would connect and disconnect over and over in a loop...

Just updated the firmaware I'm going to try again.

EDIT: Aha now it's working.

EDIT2: Uhhh.. maybe not...

*pings google and gets a 2000+ ms response *

EDIT3: Nevermind... Tried that IP with my desktop and got this: Reply from 193.251.242.250: TTL expired in transit.

Tried a different addy it's working fine.
