The general cricket discussion thread

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 11:07 AM PST

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

How to connect Beam cable Broadband to a wireless router

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 10:37 AM PST

Hi All,
This is my first post and I would like to congratulate all the member's and the Administrators for making this forum so interesting.

I recently shifted from BSNL broadband to Beam Internet connection.
Earlier I used to connect BSNL to D Link DSL-G604T model ADSL wireless router . The internet was shared simultaneously to Desktop through ethernet and Laptop through wireless from the the router.

My query is in two parts. Objective is to share the Beam Internet in a similar fashion as above through wireless to laptop and ethernet to desktop.

At present I am able to connect only one by plugging in directly the RJ45 of the Beam cable to the ethernet port of PC or Laptop.

Q1) Can I share beam cable internet using my existing ADSL wireless router?
Q2) If not what is the additional hardware I need to purchase? Is there a way to connect the beam cable connection to a regular wireless router and distribute? Alternatively will installing two LAN cards on my desktop and bridging them solve the problem?

The Beam broad band connection procedure:

Connect the RJ45 jack to the ethernet port of the computer.
Open the broser.
A dynamic IP gets assigned to the computer and a login screen pops up where we enter the uesr name and password.

Query: Can I do the same by connecting the cable to a wireless router.
I will buy one if it is confirmed. The Beam technical support does not inspire confidence.
Please help.

Thanks
Jagdish

Airtel HD+ - Query on using existing hard drive partition

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 10:13 AM PST

Hello Techie folks,

 

Yesterday, I upgraded to Airtel HD+, which allows us to connect to an external usb storage and record programs.

 

I have a query that I am hoping to get a resolution on this forum.

 

I have a 1 TB USB external hard drive which is partioned into 4 drives of roughly 250gb each. I plan to use one partition for HD+ STB. However, as soon as I plug in my hard drive to STB and switch it ON, it asks me to 1) Format drive 2) Go back.

 

I cannot format the drive, because it carries useful data and run beyond 600 gigs, which I cannot back-up somewhere else, even temporararily. I can't just lose the data (believe me, they are not movies).

 

I just wish that the STB should prompt me with the drive name, once I select it to format. But, I cannot try this, because, if it doesn't prompts me and formats the entire 1 TB drive, I'll be in soup.

 

So, if any of you have tried to connect a partitioned hard drive to HD+ STB, could you please share your experience?

 

Is there any way out?

 

Thanks in advance.

Now… This show is definitely not for everyone and as I have already read that a couple of you have tried it and given up on it. I am currently on season 6 and I have enjoyed it so far. It's from the late 90s so it's not really what you would call cutting edge. But I love it for its humor. I have always been a big fan of MacGyver. All characters have their own charms. The chemistry between them is amazing. Especially when you talk about alient characters like Thor. If you need something for the long haul. Something that you want to enjoy between your regular shows… you might want to consider it. It's huge. There are spin-offs. I have not really explored what happens after SG-1. I started with the movie Stargate and then picked up this series. There are 10 seasons. Around 22 episodes each. Could last you several months. Would be totally worth it. I have seen 6 seasons in 2-3 weeks and basically I am going through the same joyride I went through when I saw the entire Doctor Who franchise (from the latest installment starting with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth doctor). Along with the nightmares of course. Instead of daleks, I just see Goa'ulds. lol

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 06:40 AM PST

So Ghost returns? If this is true, and it probably is, I'll be lining up to pre order it this November.

UK supermarket giant Tesco has a product listing and box art for currently unannounced Call of Duty: Ghosts.
The listings cover Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, though the Xbox 360 listing has already been removed. The PlayStation 3 listing remains at time of writing, however.


http://m.gamespot.com/news/6407467?tag=nl.e607&s_cid=e607&ttag=e607

As well as outing both the unrevealed game and what is believed to be the official box art, the merchant's product listing also claimed that the sequel will be "built on an entirely new story, setting, and cast, all powered by a next-generation Call of Duty engine".

Jewellery retailer Tanishq tugged at the heartstrings of many a viewer this festive season after deciding to paint its latest promotional campaign in bold hues unabashedly celebrating caramel complexion and remarriage, possibly for the first time in Indian advertising. The campaign, which has broken taboos by using a model with a darker skin tone than is customary in commercials, has gone viral in a big way with the social media hailing it as a ground breaking spot in Indian advertising.
Many have taken to social networking sites to describe it as the "bravest attempt" so far on the part of the jewellery brand.

TP-Link TL-WR740N configuration for Hathway Broadband

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 05:12 AM PST

Hi Guys, I recently got a Hathway connection. I bought a TP-Link TL-WR740N router separately as it available for Rs. 890/- on amazon.in (who delivered it to me in 18 hours!!!) whereas the provider was charging me Rs. 2000/- for it. So this was clearly a good decision but now I am stuck with configuring the router :(:( It obviously did seem quite straight forward which is why I thought I would do it myself. I have chosen PPPoE and entered the right username and password I went into the advanced section in the WAN section and provided the service name provided to me. The problem is the router is not getting connected to the internet. When I check the system log on the router it shows me a bad username and password. I have rechecked the credentials and they work fine for me over Ethernet So I know that is not the problem. Can someone tell me if I am missing something.

Is TriB combo UL data-1899 plan really unlimited

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 03:32 AM PST

I just subscibed for MTNL's TriB combo UL data-1899 plan, and using it since last week.

Which gives 2MBPS speed.

 

Alough in site  it is mentioned it is unlimited. (http://mtnldelhi.in/broadband/triband_tariff_unlimited1.htm)

 

But when I looged in, and checked the usage section, it shows:

Usage Limit Rs.1,000,000,000.00

 Unbilled Usage Rs.5,570.33

Total Free(MB) 9.9999999E7

 

So, I'm not so sure if it unlimited & I'll get on 1899 + Service Tax at month end bill. OR this unbilled amount of Rs. 5570/-.

 

Please suggest

 

Thank You

Ashes 2013-14, T20Is & ODIs

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 11:43 PM PDT

http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2013/content/current/story/644797.html

 

 

Mickey Arthur has been sacked as Australia's head coach less than three weeks before the start of the Ashes. Cricket Australia is yet to officially announce the decision but the chief executive James Sutherland and general manager of team performance Pat Howard are due to hold a press conference in Bristol on Monday morning (UK time) to confirm the move.

Darren Lehmann, the successful Queensland coach, is considered a leading contender to replace Arthur at short notice. Lehmann is in England having just finished a tour as mentor of the Australia A outfit and has won rave reviews for the tough and somewhat old-school approach he has taken with Queensland since he was appointed in 2011.

But whatever the case, the axing of Arthur has left the Australian camp in a shambles on the eve of the Ashes campaign. The squad was due to meet in Taunton on Monday ahead of their first tour game against Somerset, with some of the players having been part of the Australia A squad, some having been playing in the Champions Trophy and others having been warming up in county cricket.


Surprising move just ahead of the Ashes...

Reliance GSM 3G settings

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 11:19 PM PDT

Hello,

I just ported into reliance from bpl and the only reason for porting was for 3g and sadly i havent got that to work. Could you please provide me with settings of 3g, i am a postpaid suscriber. Will be using on my iphone 4. I tried rcomnet and smartinet as the APN but i get an error in safari saying "could not activate cellular data network" "you are not subscribed to a cellular data service'. Called the CC helpline as well he told me to keep rcomnet as the APN and restart the phone. It didnt work. Called up once again and the other guy sent me settings through sms which dont work in an iphone. I even left all fields blank as you are to do on vodafone even that didnt work. Would some one kindly let me know the settings. Thanks in advance

Prepaid renewal scam

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 09:16 PM PDT

On 1st  Oct 2013 the bonus card plan BC 34 (it give local calls at 40p/min) expired, & I renewed it on 7th Oct 2013 for which I received a sms 'Dear customer thankyou for activating BC 34 which will give Local mobile call rates at 40p/min. This promo has been activated on autorenewal and will be renewed'. This should have expired on 7th Nov 2013. But today I got an sms 'Priya grahak BC 34 agle 30 dino ke liye appke account main renew ho gaya hai. Is offer ke liye aapke account se Rs 34 ka balance debit kiya gaya hai. Luft uthay ein Local mobile calls@40p/min ka 30 dino ke liye'. Please note I had not asked for this auto renewal crap. So I have lost an entire week. Looks like Vodafone systems don't know how to count. I know this cannot be a one off case but an institutionalised skimming going on but even by Vodafone standards skimming ONE ENTIRE WEEK is over the top. So anyone else who gets this 'benefit' from Voda be warned.
