My thought was to remove the tape, clean and re-twist the connections, heat the stripped and twisted ends with a soldering iron, apply some solder, and then re-tape. No protoboard or any other device necessary.
Ok, I wonder why I didn't think of that....
Also, about the male/female connection that you talk about, I have only known of such connectors for RJ-11 types, i.e. for phone lines. Are they also available for RJ-45 connectors? It'd be great if that were the case....
Lots of thanks to The Grand Negus for such insighful responses, BTW....

This [^] is the easy way. And the "Cyberguys", if you can get them to ship to your location, are typically dirt cheap compared to other vendors.

Thanks a lot for the link.
Now if I could only find some way of placing an order for them to get that thing here to Nepal......

Since it's unlikely that you can just run down the mountain to the local computer store for a hub, the solder choice seems most appropriate. In fact, it makes a better connection than a RJ-45 connector.

Simple solution - get a longer piece of CAT-5. BTW, did you use CAT-5 certified for outside use (yes, there is such a thing)? Did you also know that the maximum length of any piece of CAT-5 should be no more than 325 feet? Here's an even better idea - go wireless.

No man....the suggestions seem to somehow resemble with one of your signature lines ::

I mean, i thought i mentioned i did not want to buy a new length of wire....and no way i'm going wireless....the cost factor is way over the projected one(which is nothing , or very low)

IF you're referring to temperature and fan speeds, most do except for really old stuff. For anything else I don't know what's used, maybe an oscope?

Open IE, go to the Tools menu, Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN Settings button. Make sure all the check boxes are cleared.

Now I'd be looking at issues with any firewall software you have installed on your machine.

The registry is not going to be the issue. That's where the settings for IE are stored.
I don't have the time to research your issue. There's not enough information to go on. That's on your shoulders.

Your DNS is the problem. Change your DNS servers. Open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL then copy and paste the output here. I don't need your IP/SUBNET/GATEWAY just your DNS servers.

Hi,
I am trying to access(read) the internal registers of a SM Bus Device (a
chip in the motherboard, connected as Slave to SM Bus). I am trying to
access this chip over ICH6 's (I/O Controller Hub) SMBus Controller
(D31:F3). I am able to get the correct address of the SM Bus Base Address
Register (D31:F3, Offset:20).
I know the default SMBus Address of the Device is 0x2E.
I would like to know what are the next steps to be followed to be able to
read the internal registers (all are 8-bits) within the SMBus Slave Device.
also, can anyone let me know if any sample code is available for this?
please help,
Thanks in advance,
Manasi

I want to access my USB port to find which device has been connected to it..
I know that each device has vendor IDs & product IDs....
Where can i get those IDs of all the USB devices...

Look at USB view, it gets this info, probably through a driver though.

I have a webcam with built in lights one of those fancy light sensors. IE if it's too dark the lights will come on. But it's really annoying.
If I power off my machine and turn the room's light off, the webcams light fires up. The only way I can prevent this from happening is to physically pull the USB cord from the back of the machine. I'm just wondering if there is any way I can configure it not to do this?
I don't want the webcam to recieve any power while the machine is off.

You have to cut off the power supply to your machine.
Some power supply adaptors are equipped with Power On/Off buttons.
