Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

Me too - you must know some black market

 

store prices,Fortune computer store in downtown TO

 

U can buy on line

 

LOL - Would cost me $80 in gas to drive there and back and they probably charge 30-40 to ship.

 

I know the store, check them out by your self on line

 

Did - CW600S comes to 103.40 and nfus comes to 255.90

Figured it was a $30 shipping fee.

 

And for $65 for a CW600S, I would be afraid it would be a clone at that price.

Stuffupforgrab nfusion comes to 237.83 - only 10.44 for shipping compared to $30

 

but for all guys living in TO are its a deal

 

Is the nFusion easy to set up?

 

True - I would only be careful with the cw600s - possible clone
The Coolsat 7000 was discontinued last june. But others look ok.

The Kingston memory, thumb drives, mp3&4, computer case and several others are all knock offs from China.

 

you know Breck what? Two yrs. a go i pay for one sat dish plus reciver collsat 5000 $500,and thise guy didnt give any guarantee,how bout that? I figure out all by myself

 

Depends mostly on your knowledge of computer and receiver skills.
Can be fairly easy. Blank & I just helped malikfrk setup his. It took 2 days because he doesn't have very good computer skills. He also had to buy a router and set that up first. But he is up now and extremely happy so far with it.

 

But now that you have been in this hobby for 2 years now, your much smarter about how things work. I am sure you have learned many things over that time and are now able to help others who are starting out. That's just the way it works. Someone new comes by everyday and eventually gets to know as much as we do.

 

Do I need to plug it to my computer or just to
the router or both?

 

When you get it new, you have to connect it to your computer to do the first update. Then you just connect the receiver to the router and any future updates are sent from your computer through your home network to your receiver. No more disconnecting and no memory sticks needed.

 

Breck trust me Im

I read a few pages back that I can change my ip address
to show a diferent country. is that fairly simple to do?

 

I never changed my ip before, but on my other gaming forum, I have the instructions how to.

Here there are - not sure if it works.

"How do I change my IP address?" and "Can I change my IP address?" are probably the most commonly asked questions. Please attempt the following then, if that does not work, visit the Change IP Address forum.
Before trying any other methods to change your IP address, try turning off (or unplugging the power of) your Cable/DSL modem for five minutes. In many cases this will change your IP address. However, if that does not change your IP address, repeat the process for 8 hours (overnight works well) instead of 5 minutes. Hopefully this will result in an IP change.
If the above does not result in your IP address changing, please look through the below for the situation that best matches yours and attempt to change your IP address that way. Unfortunately you are not able to get your IP address to change in all cases, as it is ultimate determined by your ISP's DHCP configuration (when you've got a dynamically assigned IP address, that is.)
Windows - Computer connected directly to the modem
Get to a command prompt. (START, run, cmd).
1. Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
2. Type "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
Windows (second option) - Computer connected directly to the modem
1. Get to a command prompt. (START, run, cmd).
2. Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes).
3. Shut down computer.
4. Turn off computer.
5. Turn off all ethernet hubs/switches.
6. Turn off cable/DSL modem.
7. Leave off overnight.
8. Turn everything back on.
Network with Router
1. Log into the router's admin console. (Often http://192.168.1.1/)
2. Release the IP address. (Method varies by router manufacturer)
3. Turn off router, ethernet hubs/switches, and the cable/DSL modem.
4. Leave off overnight.
5. Turn everything back on.
If you are using a cable/DSL modem and a router, you may wish to connect your computer directly to the cable/DSL modem. Please note that this could significantly impact your system security. This allows your ISP's DHCP to issue you a new (hopefully changed) IP address based of the (hardware) MAC address of your computer's ethernet card.
If all the above has not worked to change your IP address and you have a router, check and see if there is a "Clone MAC Address" option. Using it should change your IP address, however, you'll only be able to do it once (in most cases).
These will not work in all cases. If all else fails contact your internet service provider (ISP) and ask them if they are able to change your IP address or how long your connection needs to be off for your IP address to change.
If you trying to change your IP address because you are just trying to access web based forums you may wish to attempt to configure your internet browser to use a proxy server.

 

Breck I hate people who try to make money out of others.

 

Thanks Breck
