cant agree more. divesting internally into something that will be a twin to etisalat. and they have the nerve to say that they need more time for local operators to mature before allowing US telcos to come in. isn't 15 years or more enough??? kind of contradicts when you bill etisalat as the global ...

graphics and ram are key. I opt for XFI and corsair or Geil. However, the higher the graphic card capacity the more power it needs. So you will need to look into a power source adequate. Honestly, the extra bucks you will spend on this upgrade, add a few more hundred dirhams and get a new board and ...

i have been building PCs for the last 8 years. All custom. Problem here is that you can;t get the brands of hardware you need. try ram for example. You get the shitty Twinmos with high latencies, 2nd generation clones, etc... so how can you build a viable custom pc? I charge anywhere from 5000-20000...

FYI, DIC telecom (DU) will be introducing a proxy next year.

vicarage

its not the issue with DIC, but the seeds or torrents you link to. try this service http://www.usenext.com its payable but i get download speeds of DSL! Yes, and not the 20-25kbps with torrents. With torrents you are sharing each seed with other users. Therefore and unless you have a 4MB line or mor...

try www.satellites.co.uk and go to their forum and check there

honestly, the starsat recievers are best for updated firmware.

all rip offs if you ask me...went through 3

where in the world does it cost 20K to get a freakin' maid!!!!! and still pay her a salary after 3 months?????

this place is just getting too expensive

vicarage

sorry for the many posts! actually just stumbled on the forum and quite interesting. actually, after you get into the feel of browsing freely, i guess it will be a pain to start toying with ports, java scripts and creating tunnels. lets see what happens but should be interesting when it does. BTW, a...

vicarage

yes and no...its more of a tit for tat right now as reported yesterday - which in my opinion was uncalled for. it made the UAE look very foolish and childish to state that.

I dont know. I guess that is one argument that will always baffle folks.

vicarage

client paid 6500 for it. Part of the cost went on the custom case that needed modding as well.

I would say the part alone would bring the unit to around 4K. But its quality all the way!

vicarage

One issue with slow downlaods could be the ports and router. torrent software or any other P2P software requires port mapping or forwarding. DIC closes some ports for security reasons and therefore, you will need to find open ones. 1. Check any ports above 5000 for both UDP and TCP 2. Your router sh...

vicarage

As you know, the net at DIC is configured differently than etisalat. They close certain ports due to security reasons. This affects how download software operates. Would be great to hear from others how they configured their routers for best download speeds, issues they faced, etc.. 1. Is anyone usi...

One downlaoded, skype will work either to skype or to land/mobile

Bypassing proxy can be done through tunneling. Changing proxy ports is unsecure and a lengthy trial and error exercise.

3K will get you a pretty decent machine but not one i would say would last the test of time. many of the new games out there plus the new windows vista coming out soon, are very power hungry. Rather than spend 3 and later 2-3 more to upgrade...your best bet is to go strong now while prices are relat...

vicarage

he's right.

these gues take the shell but the innards are not the model. So you get what looks like a N91 but with another model's board.

They did this with the Palm Treo when it came out, selling on ebay at 200$ but the inside was a motorolla unit!

heat should be your worry from a laptop with high specs. There is one laptop from Alienware using dual 7800GTX cards in SLi + 2GB ram and a horrifically fast processor 4800+ The problem is that: 1. It weighs a ton 2. It heats up like a fryer...place it on your lap and you fry your nuts easily. 3. Co...

yeah this baby looks good and I am told, is a dream.

if you will setup in dubai, chances are the best is to do so at the freezone such as DIC or DMC. For now and untill Du becomes active as a second provider, there are no proxies. However, there are port restrictions. I know several VPNs are unaccessible due to ports being closed. If your concern is t...

Nick is correct, using TOR has its solid benefits. However, establishing a cycle on TOR could take time. I used it recently and it works in the UAE, though not where i work as the firewall is quite solid. Try tunneling through ISPs such as WebX. You may have to pay but with a tunnel, you jump on a d...

Hi 1. Where is your flat? Speed is relative to how close you are to the exchange. answer this and I could get an idea. 2. 2MB from Etisalat is pretty quick and I had no problems. I used to live in a 20 year old villa and the phone lines were 15 years old. I still got 90-95% capacity on my 2MB. There...

where is the value?

you will need to tweak your settings in the registery. Also, you will need to change your locks in the modem under advanced tools. See your modem for instructions. The latency is set remotely but can be fixed if your PC increases the ttl and a few other registery settings. You can get a ready made t...
