As you removed the screws on the back already, the cover should be lifted a little and pulled backward. FAIK there are no screws on the sides but maybe a kind of a click mechanism. petrus bitbyter |

Right, I had to break off the front panel, the decal facia thing is actually screwed onto the panel from behind. The mechs plastic top plate underneath the screen cage has 4 screws, the front were inaccessible without removing the cage, which was secured underneath the front by 2 inaccessible screws. So, the only way you can get this mech out is to be able to open the drawer and remove the front panel first. You cannot open it by inserting anything through any holes anywhere. The loading mechanism was jammed because the CD spindle has a pad on it that appears to be one sided sticky tape?? The CD was strongly glued to it, took quite a tug to get it off! Maybe this ring pad had come off somehow, leaving just the self adhesive bottom bit behind? Dunno. Thanks for all the suggestions. Gareth. |

Dunno. Odd. I wonder if that adhesive was originally a non-slip pad that decomposed over time. |

Much to my surprise, the acrylic > glue worked. Acrylic 'cement' is usually really a solvent. Methylene Chloride is the main ingredient, the rest of the liquid is designed to slow the evaporation of this and thicken it up somewhat. It does a good job of repairing broken plastics that are not Nylon based.

That's why I was surprised that it worked with plastics that didn't seem to be acrylics. |
| "Ron D." <Ron.Dozier@gmail.com>: Dec 11 10:05AM -0800 I don't quite understand your configuration, but I'll add a few things. private IP address, Usually 192.168.x.x..or 10.x.x.x and one other. public IP address - The one the internet knows of NAT - Network address translation. This part of the router. That makes it appear that your on the Internet with the public IP, Incoming ports on a port to port bases are routed to the proper private IP, DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration protocol - It CAN provide name server info, Your router's private IP can be the name server relay. The name server allows you to use names for IP addresses, It can reserve certain address for automatic generation of private IP addresses. There cannot be more than one DHCP server for the subnet, Static IP's need to be excluded from the pool. A "lease" for a specific amount of time is associated with the address. Certain devices behave better with fixed IP addresess: e.g. Router, printers That said, there are two ways to "bridge" a network and I;m only going to talk about one way. One allows you to be able to see the cable modem, and the other doesn't. If you place the cable modem in "bridge mode", by using a direct connection, it just relays traffic from network and it has a public IP, but not a private IP. In DSL, things get complicated as to where a ping response comes from. It may not include the wiring from the DSLAM to the premises. The only way to see my modem's config pages in bridge mode is to connect it directly. I set it to a static IP of 192.168.1.1, but my network is 10.10.0.x. There is another address called the MAC address and that's called the Media Access Control, Think of it like latitude and Longtude, Every adapter gets assigned a unique one at the factory. The wireless adapter has one and so does the wired adapter on your PC. These addresses are written on the box and adapter. In the form of AA:BB etc for IPV4. Sometimes the : are missing. It's this addressees that the cable company has associated with your account and credentials. You put another cable modem in it's place, the MAC address doesn't match and it doesn't work. Since the lines are physical on a DSL system, the MAC authentication isn't used. Yes, the cable modem company can be told that you have another modem and make it work, but they have also customized their router;s firmware to be able to run tests. So, some routers offer the ability to "clone" mac addressees. This allows your new modem to masquerade as the real cable router. Earlier I did say that every MAC address is unique. The uniqueness is by routeable network, So, as long as you don't duplicate a MAC address on your private network, your OK. I will be running at some point a very unique configuration and some of it's in place. My DSL modem is within feet of the demarc point and the wireless is in the center of the basement. Wireless will eventually be wireless AC with a repeater. I can't then use a any DSL modem with wireless capabilities. Their modems limit the 10baseT ports to 100 mb/s and the wireless ports to 300 mb/s. I have a RAID server on a Gigabit ethernet. |
