Apologies for the upcoming Show: 044.
I just wanted to apologize in advance for the upcoming show, and for anyone who dropped in on our first ever ustream.
First of all, we weren't able to set aside a block of time to figure out the ustream stuff before we went live, so we were figuring it out right there, in front of all of you. Sorry if we bored you to death while we fumbled around with it. There were a few people with us at the beginning but they dropped out after a while. One stayed with us till the end, so thank you, whoever you are.
Secondly, right as we were preparing to start the show, a bunch of people dropped in at my place. By that time it was too late to reschedule anything, so there's a bunch of noise in the background as a lot of people yak it up in my living room. I'll try to prevent that happening again in the future.
In short, it was a very disappointing debut of our ustream. Hopefully it'll be better in the future.

Question
I am still new to the blogging world but have a question about internet access using Vista 64 Ultimate. I tried to install Vista 64, to utilize my 4 gb of ram and processor chip. Everything works just fine except I have no internet connection. It says that I have "limited connectivity" for my connection. My home network does not recognize my printer or my wife's computers either. When I run XP 64 bit, no problems with internet access, it's the same with Vista 32 and XP 32 bit also. Windows 7, for the 32 bit, all works just fine, but when I installed the 64 bit version, same no internet connection. When I try to update the driver for my ethernet card, it says I am already using the best driver available. I have removed the device driver, and installed the latest version I have. I preloaded chipset drivers, and such and still no internet connection. I am wondering if I have missed anything, but I have been having this problem for a month now and am at wit's end. Before I go reinstalling the 64 bit operating system again, I just would like to know if I am running up an icy slope with my attempts to connect to the internet. I apologize again if this is in the wrong place, but would appreciate any input you folks could give.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Mark
Hmmm..
From the sounds of it, I would have to guess it's a Driver issue, since that should be the only difference between the 32 Bit and the 64 Bit version. But, let's take a couple of paths here.
1. Take a peek in Device Manager, and just make sure there's no "other devices". If there isn't, look in Network Adapters, and see what the name of the network Card is.
If you know where your drivers are, then right click on the network card, and choose "Uninstall". Click OK when it wants you to confirm it.
After it's gone, Click on the "Scan for Hardware Changes" icon on the top of the window. It should find the card and install it. It may want you to point it to the drivers, go ahead and do so.
2. If you're reading this step, then I assume the above didn't work. Open up a command prompt, and enter ipconfig /all
You'll get a whole list of stuff back. Look in the Description section and find you're network card. what's the IP Address, and what's the Default gateway. Also, look at the line that says DHCP Enabled, is that yes or no?
Try to ping you're Default Gateway. If the default gateway's address above was 192.168.0.1, then type in "ping 192.168.0.1".
Let me know this information (don't forget the network card name from step 1) and I'll see if I can help you more.
Was it that bad?
I'm to blame for contenet issues, I had so many technical issues I didn't have time to go through the links before hand. I didn't think there was that much noise on your end though.
I'm partly to blame for the
I'm partly to blame for the content also. I just didn't have that much for this week.
You didn't hear much noise on your end? At times it got pretty loud over here. I got a little distracted by it, so that's why I seem to be spacing out once in a while.
Nope
Nope, I didn't really hear anything. We'll have too see if it came over in the final recording.
