X-Men: Days of Future Past

Deadline reports that Fox made quick work of replacing their vacant director's chair and will likely be able to keep their July 18th, 2014 release date as a result. Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.
The cast from the original film is expected to return, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.

experience/creativity needed, printer not working cannon pixma mp145...

Posted: 25 May 2014 01:19 PM PDT

hello friends, im new here and i believe its a magical forum, im totally messed up with my printer due to lack of experience or knowledge, my exams going to start in 10 days so i have to print lots of pages..

i have an old cannon pixma mp145 printer which was not in use from last two years(as other source was available) so i just done some dusting and connected it to power source it was displaying E5 error code on display i thought it is because of cartridges since they were not use from two years or they become empty when i left printer so this time i decided to refill the cartridge as new pair of cartridge were costing me about 2100rs which givies near about 250 pages only, i tried with black one(pg-830) only as only b&w pages i needed also giving me message "the following ink cartridge cannot be recognized black because it may not be properly installed or not compatible with printer", when i tested to print so i purchased a black pigment ink bottle from a local shop of cost rs80, as i was going to refill a cartridge for first time i visited youtube and viewed many videos related to refilling that cartridge finally i refilled it neatly and accurately. finally i properly installed the cartridge inside the printer and powered it on, unfortunately same error E5 was displaying so i further googled that error and come to the conclusion that i will have to reset my printer to replace E5 by 1, i did my best and now 1 is displaying on the LED but still when im sending something to print, giving me same message, print cannot  be execute because cartridge is not installed properly or not compatible with printer even i repeated in and out of cartridge many times....

Airtel Connection in Central Chennai (Nungambakkam) Gaming Related

Posted: 25 May 2014 11:46 AM PDT

I've been using  BSNL's 1425/- (4MBps/20GB) for a while now,it is a very reliable connection and I've had little to no downtime and even when there is a problem I haven't had a hard time getting it fixed.

 

I'm thinking about switching to Airtel's Rapid Plus 80GB 8Mbps/80 GB FUP and there's a few things that I'd like to know from people who've made the switch from BSNL to Airtel.

 

 

 

1)Does getting the Airtel plan mean I have to give up my current BSNL phone connection? because the plan I mentioned above comes with a 1000min free local calls which I couldn't possibly get without having an Airtel phone connection.I don't really mind not getting the free calls as long as I can keep the Bsnl phone connection and have an Airtel Internet connection.

 

2)What kind of latency do you get to servers in Europe/Amsterdam and more specifically I'd like to have ping tests and traceroutes to this address bleu1.perfectworld.eu and with servers in Singapore/Malaysia when you play CS:GO.

 

I get a healthy 160-170ms with servers in EU right now which is pretty damn good :)

 

3.How reliable are they in terms of low downtime, being quick to respond to a problem and offering what they say in the plan.

Using the Dlink 2750u as a true Ethernet WAN router

Posted: 25 May 2014 08:42 AM PDT

 
Check D-Link DSL-2750U Deals on: Flipkart | Amazon | Snapdeal | Infibeam

 
I'd actually already posted on how to use the Dlink 2750u as a full fledged Ethernet WAN router, but it was a few pages deep in a Tikona thread and some users were getting the actual method mixed up with workarounds posted earlier in that thread. 
 
The 2750u is actually capable of both adsl and Ethernet WAN routing. However the Indian firmware only enables the adsl WAN. So one needs to use the Middle East (ME) or Russian (NRU) firmware to enable the Ethernet WAN function (with the ME/Russian firmware one can use adsl, ethernet or 3g WAN). Please check the label under your router to identify the specific hardware version and apply the firmware that corresponds to it. Warning: You may brick your router if you apply the wrong firmware. Presently ME firmware is available for C1 and U1 versions. NRU firmware is available for C1. The NRU firmware has the mac cloning feature so you need not ask your provider to reset the mac lock (if mac lock is present). Here are the links
 
ME C1 v1.3
http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/26312555/file.html
 
ME C1 latest
http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/86244007/file.html
 
In the latest firmware, I'm having a problem getting my 3g dongle to work, which is why I've posted both versions. Once the firmware has been changed to the ME type, one can easily switch between versions (of the same hw type) using the software update page and one can choose which version works best for them.
 
ME U1
http://www.dlinkmea.com/partner/media/product_item_downloadables/1351-DSL2750U-U1_FW1.11.rar  (Use 7zip/Winrar etc to extract firmware)
 
NRU C1
ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/ADSL/DSL-2750U/Firmware/1.0.14/DSL_2750_v1.0.14_cfe_fs_kernel
 
Applying the firmware 
 
The firmware may not be accepted in the normal firmware update mode. Then you'll need to update it in the dlink crash recovery mode using a LAN cable (not wirelessly). Assign a static address on the PC for the ethernet interface in the 192.168.1.x series for eg 192.168.1.5
 
Switch router off, press the reset button ie insert ballpoint pen in reset hole under the router, keep holding the reset button and turn on the router. Keep holding the reset button for about 12 seconds after you power on the router. Now you'll see that the power led has turned red signifying that the router is in crash recovery mode. When you enter the address 192.168.1.1 on your PC browser, you find the upgrade firmware page. Just browse to the downloaded firmware file and flash!
 
After the new firmware has been flashed, your internet connection will not start working automatically, you will also need to set up the router correctly. Please do not apply any workarounds mentioned in other threads such as interface grouping, disabling DHCP etc
 
Instructions for setting up the C1 hw version router with ME firmware
 
Step 1: Log into your router and under Advanced setup->Layer2 interface->ETH interface create an Ethernet interface with connection mode as default. Then go to Advanced setup->WAN Service and add service for eth0/LAN4.
 
Step2: If you have an internet connection with pppoe dialing such as pacenet, Honesty etc, in the next page, choose pppoe and put in username, password and service name in the next page. Also choose to enable NAT. In the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save
 
Step2 (alt): If you have a connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable internet (without pppoe dialer) etc, in the next page choose ip over ethernet, in the next page let the setting remain at Obtain an IP address automatically, in the next page check option to enable NAT, in the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save
 
Step3: Then in advanced setup - 3g connection select primary uplink as ethernet.
 
Now connect your internet cable to the LAN port 4 of the router and you should be able to connect through any device connected through wifi or any of the other LAN ports. If you have a connection with a browser login such as Reliance metro or Tikona, the login page will show up only on the first device that you connect in each session. After you have logged in on any device, all other devices will have internet connectivity without going through the login page.
 
Instructions for setting up the U1 hw version router
 
In Internet setup, set WAN access type to Ethernet and in protocol, choose dynamic ip for connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable broadband (without pppoe dialer) etc and choose pppoe (also set the correct service name) if you have a pppoe dialer based connection  such as pacenet, honesty net solutions etc. When setting up the internet connection, vlan id must not be given any value other than 0.
 
Instructions for setting up the C1 hw version router with NRU firmware (Port 1 is WAN port)
 
After you flash the interface will appear in Russian. Click on the rightmost dropdown at the top of the page and choose English to change the interface language.
 
Click on Advanced Settings at the bottom
Click on Interface Grouping in the Advanced section. Right click on the LAN icon on the right and click on setup speed and stream. There's some quirk in the interface and it's a little tricky getting this click right. Set duplex and speed to auto and save. Again hover mouse over LAN graphic and click on Make WAN. With the default option of 'Single service...' click save. Go back to the advanced settings screen. In the Net section click on WAN and add a connection. Choose connection type accordingly and choose LAN as the interface. Change MAC if required (if provider uses mac lock), (mac cloning doesn't seem to work) put in other details as needed (make sure NAT stays enabled) and click save. Internet cable goes into port 1 and not port 4 as in the case of the ME firmware

 

If your provider uses a mac id lock, plug in the internet cable in port 4 after completing the setup  and ask him to register the new mac in his database.

 

Any users seeking help on this thread, please provide all relevant details (provider, type of connection) and screenshots (info and setup). Also please make absolutely sure that it's not a mac lock issue, as more than 90% users are needlessly seeking help on the forum without having got a proper mac reset from their provider.
