  1. Where I can go??? on Excite@Home & Comcast/AT&T Reach Agreement · · Score: 1

    After came back from work tonight, I was surprised that my cable modem was syncing up again. Tried to set my gateway to DHCP mode and soon the browser leads me the welcome page... I found there is actually nothing informational, for surfing the net, you only need to setup dynamically grabbing a IP address instead of the priveious static one (Look like my static IP is gone now.. :(().


    Unfortunately I found I can not go anywhere else, although I can ping anywhere I like. Whenever I fired up the browser, I will go to the anonying Weclome page automatically no matter which address I keyed in... :((


    Surprising, I can visit Slashdot.org, of course all the external links don't work. I can only view the post here and the headline inside of Slashdot... It is ok to post something here, but what's the problem? Do I missing anything in the setup? The AT&T phone service is damned, nobody answering it, and hang up directly after you pounch the "1" key.... Help needed.. or information needed... please tell me your experience and the transition...

  2. Re:Well, kinda.... on Excite@Home & Comcast/AT&T Reach Agreement · · Score: 1

    I followed the instruction to setup DHCP, bu the anonying AT&T page still shows up whenever I went to visit any other sites, like cnn.com, msn.com, only slashdot is working.... It is cache problem? I am in Sunnyvale Carlifornia also....

  3. Hard to say, no single one ... on Who Invented Packet-Switching? · · Score: 2, Informative


    It is really hard to tell who invented Internet, must be lots of people. I don't like "Leonard Kleinrock, Professor" webpage to claim he is the inventor. At least show me a publication, tell us you real have the vision on packet switch before you put a single node on. At least, single node is far from Internet. Shanon left us a great paper to tell us what is the limit of communication, we are trying hard to approach it.
    We can not say the company working on Turbo coding invented/discovered Shanon therory, can we?


    Leonard Kleinrock 's work is on Queueing theory, not packet switch. He maybe a pioneer, but not worth the Inventor title. I agree on this, "The Internet is really the work of a thousand people," Mr. Baran said. "And of all the stories about what different people have done, all the pieces fit together. It's just this one little case that seems to be an aberration."



    You agree with me or not? :)
