Celcom broadband

mv2squall_sx — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:03:36 +0800

I've subscribed Celcom broadband for like 1 week, when I try to connect in Setia Alam, the software shows that Setia Alam area is using EDGE instead of HSDPA or UTMS.Which it matters when the connection is extremely unstable and get disconnected easily every like 1minute. So unfortunate,this makes me unable+cannot+never able to surf net even GOOGLE.com. Is there anyone facing the same problem?Is there any fix or solution for this besides changing to other broadband service because I am using it in other place too,and the connection is okay for me.

[WTA]P1 Wimax

mv2squall_sx — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:20:32 +0800

Im am a streamyx user and to setup a router with ADSL modem is pretty easy by just enable the DHCP on routher and BRIDGE the ADSL modem(assume my ADSL modem is built with router).
Problem comes when Im trying to setup the same concept on P1 Wimax. This is due to P1 does not require username and password to dial to get our connection so settting my router to PPPoE does not work.

In my current setting, since both router and P1 does have DHCP server function, and therefore I've/must disabled one of the DHCP which is on the router side. According to my experience, my default gateway of my pc should be the ip of my DHCP server. One thing weird is, my desktop's default gateway showing the ip of my router and laptop appears to have the correct default gateway which is the P1(DHCP enabled). I could not get any explanation base on my experience, yes i m still noob on this, why does this happens? any theory behind this?

For temporary solution, i try to set my default LAN setting manually which my default gateway is set to my P1. Yes it works but weird.
Im not sure why but i did a simple test, i did some ping to google.com with both PC at the same time.Whenever the time I try to ping google.com with my desktop, my laptop's ping returns failed result, vise versa. So i suspect, i try to make a guess, the connection will be occupied by one PC at 1 time which the connection is not share simultaneously. So to prove this is untrue, i tried to sign in MSN messenger with both PC and both of the PC is able to get online at the same time, which it proves my guessing was wrong.

Until a few minutes later, i asked my friend to try to surf net normally with the desktop, and i myself with the laptop. Both working fine and normal. I could not get any explanation on this circumstances.
Yes the solution is working if i set my LAN setting manually. But this does not satisfy me cuz, what if i have a thousand computer to share the connection, it not a good idea to do manually setting. I do prefer the ip and stuff is assigned by DHCP than defined manually.

I hope my text is understandable, hope i can get some explanation from gurus here. Thanks for help.

[WTA] Laptop for sound recording

I m asking this for my friend.
My friend is doing some sort of audio recording for his rock band that is going to be part of his job as well. Eg Adobe Audition
Could you guys please suggest me some concerns of PC hardware which i should take into consideration. I myself never touch stuff on audio recording thus i need some help here. Things like more concerns on processor and ram? how strong the pc actually he needs?

He needs a laptop actually cuz it is not convenient for him to get a desktop since he's traveling alot from state to state for his music performance.
While during his journey, he need to do audio recording as well.

So is MacBook suit to his need or it is better to get a PC?
And if he own a credit card, it is possible for him to pay installment with the new laptop, interest will be charge?

[WTA] Fuel filter

mv2squall_sx — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 10:15:07 +0800

Currently i m driving the new Saga which cost 35k past 2 years
i've got a problem that every morning, i would need to warm up the engine at least 5min for stable driving or else, it wont be able to accelerate normally even though i press the pedal. it sounds like the fuel is stuck somewhere in the fuel filter i guess which is told by a workshop.

I am not so sure whether it is the fuel filter problem but what the workshop told me, all Sagas having this problem even i change the fuel filter, the problem will come again in few months. Is this problem really caused by the fuel filter or some other parts?

If really need for replacement? should i get it from proton service center or some spare part shop? i m living in Klang perhaps ppl can give me some guide. how do i recognize it is ori or recon parts and as i know, proton's price is slightly expensive

HTML and PHP spacing problem

mv2squall_sx — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:05:35 +0800

Hi guys, imagine that i have a string

CODE

$str = "This is a string";

When i save it to database, it appears the same as what i declare

CODE

$sql = "INSERT INTO table SET str = ".$str;

When the string is displayed in html, html will ignore multiple space of my string and treat it as a single space which will appear as below

QUOTE

This is a string

The problem comes when my user try to search the string by copying it from my html page which my sql query will appear as below

CODE

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE str LIKE '%This is a string%'";

and the search failed cuz the string i input for search doesn't match with what it is stored in my database, any idea to solve this problem?
