Nice information and this my infor...
Advice for travellers To enter to this island of the Caribbean is necessary to have visa of the Dominican Republic. Although this country has its own currency (Dominican Peso), in Punta Cana rules the dollar. Each dollar is equivalent to 30 dominican pesos in this moment, but the price is resolute for the Central Bank of the island.

Will do. Do you have a Twitter or buzz I can follow?

Wonderful to hear from you. My iphone is working well, albeit slow due to
not having 3G. It works at about the same speed as dial-up, but it does
work.

Thank you again, and keep in touch.

Hi, I finally got around to testing this. Even though you have it working, thought I would follow up. Unfortunately, after updating iTunes to the latest on my Acer XP laptop, I plugged in the iPhone, saw the New Hardware wizard, let it do it's thing and it installed "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet". Once it was done it worked like a charm!

Hi yes sorry for not getting back to you about the WIn XP test!

Not sure on how to speed up your connection. Sorry to hear you only have
EDGE. I am fully 3G here (thankfully) and rarely see anything less. I'm
afraid a lean browser is your best bet, maybe disable things like
javascript, flash, ads, etc to save on downloads. Could go as far as images
but I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe Chrome with some extensions to do the
above?

Just after you sent this message, I got the iphone to tether. Works
well, but very slow. We have Edge system here. 3G is supposed to be
coming soon.

Any ideas on how to speed up the browsing? I have not had the chance to
try the 3G system anywhere around here. Are you on 3G?

With your iPhone plugged into your PC, go to control panel and then
network. You should see the connection to the phone in there. I'm not
certain what it would be called, but you can right click, go to
properties, and you should be able find it in there. I don't suspect
this to be the problem area. If I can make it work on my xp laptop
I'll let you know.

Where do you find the DHCP settings?

Sounds like you are doing everything right. I can't see how this could be
different, but I did use a Vista machine, and I know the networking stack
was rewritten. Maybe there is some extra work in Windows that must be done?
On your PC for the web browser, I assume its just the "page cannot be
displayed" error?

It shouldn't be anything to do with the IP settings, but do you think you
would need to release/renew the DHCP settings? I wouldn't think you would,
but I don't know if Vista is doing some magic that XP does not.

Also, not sure what you mean by profile in "general" settings.

I would recommend updating your firmware to the latest iPhone OS version,
this should be 3.1.2. There was some important security fixes since 3.0,
plus if Apple were ever to help you they would likely want you to update.

I have an XP laptop available to me, I can try to tether there and document
what I do to make it work and hopefully help out.

Reviewing your article, I noted that you are in Canada, where Rogers
Wireless offers this service. I am in the US and they do not offer
tethering here, although my phone seems to be able to produce somewhat high
speeds through an ethernet simulation - or that is how the connection
appears in the networking file. Maybe that is the problem. Rogers wireless
probably send out the proxy codes or whatever codes the computer needs to
see to set up the communications programs. AT&T does not want to use up
their bandwidth to the Iphone users, because I guess Iphone's can really
use it up quickly. Right?

I believe that I have been doing just that. Windows recognized the Iphone
upon hooking it up and I or the computer set up the network connection. The
computer recognizes when the tethering is turned on and off. The Iphone
tethers at 500 kbps. I set up the priority to look for the Iphone first,
then other connections next - like the dialup that is the only other
connection available to me here, but there is some "disconnect" so that the
Iphone and/or the Windows does not have the connection. One thing, though,
I have the Iphone loaded with version 3.0. There are newer versions.
Should I load them up? At some point in time in the past I loaded up the
BenM.at profile for US AT&T when attempting to tether the Iphone. What
profile in the "General" settings are you using?

Happy to help. Again keep in mind its Windows that needs the connection.
Make sure you have all other connections disabled, meaning no Wi-fi and no
ethernet plugged in. My guess is if all is working, Windows might use those
forms of connections before the iPhone. So bottom line, make sure Windows
has NO internet connection, then plug in your iPhone in tethering mode (so
via USB cable) and I would have thought Windows would have taken care of the
rest.

I did it in Vista which seems to be easier, you may need to use the
Networking applet in Control Panel to setup a new connection first.

Nice to get your reply. Thank you. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 3. Been very frustrated trying to get Firefox ir Internet Explorer to recognize the Iphone connection.

Re: iPhone 3.0 MMS & Tethering: Part 2

davidstorms — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:54:53 -0000

Hi. I believe AT&T enabled tethering late last summer. It's not the
browser that needs the connection but your computer. Are you on
Windows or Mac? If Windows what version?

Re: iPhone 3.0 MMS & Tethering: Part 2

davidring — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:41:32 -0000

Can this work in the US? I can enable tethering, but cannot get the browser to see the iphone connection. Any suggestions?

Re: In 3D, the “D” Stands for “Don’t”

davidstorms — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:42:58 -0000

Excellent point! Since I wrote this post I have seen more and more about 3D.
It just seems like a bandwagon to me and everyone wants to be a part of it.
I actually heard that Ghostbusters 3 might be filmed in 3D. While that might
be cool to see, it's the point that everyone goes 3D and it just gets
dropped that I find funny. I wonder how many other movies will take the
opportunity to mash a "D" at the end of their movie title just because it
happens to be the third movie in the franchise!

Re: In 3D, the “D” Stands for “Don’t”

Dave H — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:20:47 -0000

I completely agree. Not worth the hassle or cost to me. Give me more HD content before we move along to 3D. Besides, who wants to explain to their friends that they only have 4 pair of 3D glasses so they won't be able to watch the game! :)

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

davidstorms — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:36:41 -0000

Yes you are correct. I believe that is even recommended in the
installation instructions. Thanks for your comments. I'm very happy
with the product and will use it again. It's warm and is even safe as
a temporary floor since it's hard to get slivers.

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

eric57 — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 12:35:26 -0000

I think it should be fine as long as the panels acclimated to the room for at least a day or two prior to installing.

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

davidstorms — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:02:41 -0000

Glad to respond. Good point. I didn't really put up many walls and left most of the area open. But you are right, it could be an issue. The instructions if I'm not mistaken said fasten them to the floor did they not? I don't suppose the floor would move to much, so perhaps just screws into them (which for the most part is what I ended up doing) would suffice?

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

eric57 — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:33:13 -0000

Thanks for responding. The expansion I was referring to was actually the 1/4" gap you leave by the exterior walls, so the floor can expand depending on the weather, etc. But by screwing the dricore into the floor, would that cause the floor to buckle when it needs to expand?

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

davidstorms — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:53:45 -0000

Hi Eric, I understand your concern. When I planned the framing for the
basement, I understood that some of the walls will be fixed and going
through the dricore and concrete was OK. I left areas where I can easily add
walls, but as you point out, it's not as easy to remove walls.

What I would suggest is to use Tapcon or concrete screws through the bottom
plates of your walls, or some kind of fastener that you can unscrew or
remove later so that you can take down the wall. You will then have to
repair the holes in the dricore board to make sure that it still acts as a
water barrier. Hopefully you only have to move a wall once making this an
acceptable solution.

Thanks for your comment.

Re: Basement Renovations: Part 2, Floor and Walls: Update!

eric57 — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:15:55 -0000

I'm thinking of putting down the dricore first and then the walls on top, as you did. My question/concern is leaving room for expansion, especially since you have to screw the frames through the dricore into the concrete. what's your thoughts?
