Now thats called "Enable Auto Protect" in NAV's settings.

great bit of info man, thanks for sharing the tips about Yahoo!

Hareesh, not sure if you are still having the problem, anyway... have you checked for any spywares in your PC ? Or is a firewall configured incorrectly ? This issue mostly occurs due to some software conflict in your computer. Other chance is network problem which occurs rarely only these days.

What speed are you getting while downloading ? Because I had 28.8 kbps mentioned when I connected using my friend's handset, but the speed was normal. So if you are getting a speed around 70 - 100 kbps, then you need not worry.

hmmm, bad business practises Hope you will get the data cable as I have replied to your other topic regarding non availability of data cable.

yeah, its been good lately. And one of the effective ways to boost your download speed is to keep a ping running in the background, when downloading using a download manager. Its been discussed before, but for newbies sake... open MS-DOS Prompt window > type: ping www.yahoo.com -t , and then minimize the window. So it serves two purposes: keeps the dormant mode away and speeds up your downloads.

I found it for sale in eBay ! USB cable for Rs.290 Serial cable for Rs.174

I had this problem but it didn't show the error when I tried connecting the cable to a different USB port. Have you tried connecting to a different USB port ?

Both of you, please post the version of Internet Explorer that you are using. theking, it looks as though its a problem in your Registry key for Internet Explorer. Try installing latest patches for IE. schumi, you can try disabling Content Advisor as Vishal pointed out. When you click on "Disable" button it will ask you for a password that you used to enable the Content Advisor. Put in the password and the Content Advisor should tell you it's disabled. If for some reason you don't remember setting the Content Advisor and have no idea what password was used to set it with, go to this link for instructions on how to remove the Content Advisor password: http://www.pchell.com/support/contentadvisor.shtml please post back and let us know how it went.

thats nice to see an Indian out there in WWE. Check out his Entrance video here. But last time there were Indian wrestlers in WWF, there were treated as villians for the superstars to show their supremacy. Hope this guy won't get crushed under their feet too

Even though I am not BJP, Mr.Pramod Mahajan was a politician whom I always respected and I think he was even capable of becoming the Prime Minister if BJP came into power in future. This was infact a tragic turnaround for him and his party

thats a good point... freelancing should be the best way to build up a portfolio for yourself, which you can add to your previous experience in your CV, when applying for future jobs.

Hi ! there was a whole topic which was discussing about international voip calls... hey here it is for you! http://www.rimweb.in/forums/index.php?showtopic=3841 Maybe the mods can merge this thread << Merged now >>

yeah, I still get marketting calls on my AirTel number even though I have request for disabling such calls. Unwanted calls may stop soon Pankaj Anup Toppo, Outlook Money | April 17, 2006 It's possibly the worst news: telemarketers have discovered mobile phones. And so you get calls from strange numbers, offering you everything from personal loans to free holidays. You play safe and decide to ignore all calls from unknown numbers - and in the process miss out those crucial calls from clients or headhunters. But all this is mere irritation. It's when the telemarketer has information about, say, your bank balance or your credit card dues that things get dangerous. If concerned citizens, mobile phone service providers and the government have their way, unsolicited calls will soon be history. Let's take a look at what has been done so far to tackle this problem. Citizen's action Harsh Pathak, a Delhi-based lawyer, filed a PIL in the Supreme Court last year, through his lawyer Vivek K Tankha, seeking an end to "the endemic invasion of privacy of the subscribers of mobile telephony services". In his petition, Pathak cited cases of how unsolicited calls are dealt with in countries like the US. He also pointed out to the absence of a law in India pertaining to telephone consumers, and the absense of a regulatory forum that consumers can approach. Should unwanted phone calls be banned? After hearing the PIL, the Supreme Court bench comprising Justice N Santosh Hegde and Justice S B Sinha, issued notices to the Centre and the Law Ministry seeking a law to ban unsolicited calls, especially from telemarketing executives. A similar notice was issued to MTNL, Hutch, Reliance Infocomm, Idea Cellular, Bharti Tele-Ventures, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, HDFC and ICICI. Did all this have an effect? "Initially, calls had stopped. But after a while they started again," says Pathak. In the meantime Pathak filed an interim application in the Supreme Court in mid-February this year to update the court on the developments in the interim. Among other things, the interim application took note of the RBI notification that directed banks to maintain a "Do Not Call" register and not share consumer information with direct sales agents. The matter finally came for hearing in the second week of March 2006. "In the hearing it was stated that the ministry of telecommunications had convened a meeting of all the cellphone operators and told them that the "Do Not Call" register that they have set up was not working. The ministry has asked for suggestions and the draft has to be submitted to the court in two weeks time," says Pathak. Company initiatives Deciding to take matters into its own hands, rather than waiting for orders from elsewhere, Hutch had launched its 'Do Not Disturb' initiative in February last year. This scheme was meant to protect subscribers from Hutch's own marketing as well as calls from other companies. "In case a customer does not want to receive such calls or messages (from Hutch), he can send 'DND' as an SMS to 123 and his number will be struck off the list," says Harit Nagpal, operations director, Hutchison Essar. The company also allows subscribers to block calls and messages from other telemarketers. All the subscriber has to do is text 'Stop' followed by the telephone number he wants blocked, and send the message to Hutch at 123. "We will trace that call and request the telemarketing company to refrain from making such calls," says Nagpal. The response to the Do Not Disturb campaign has been good, but what if subscribers still get calls from numbers they want blocked? Nagpal says: "At best what we can do is request the company to stop making such calls. We believe that repeated requests should work." Joint action Further, in February this year, Manoj Kohli, president-mobility, Bharti Tele-Ventures wrote to T V Ramachandran, director general, Cellular Operators' Association of India, asking him to convene a meeting of operators so that they could jointly approach the government to seek suitable penalties against marketing agencies. "Besides annoyance to the customers of mobile operators, such activities also cause serious network load as the incoming calls are free in the hands of customers and carry only a nominal termination charge," Kohli says in his letter. Typically, such calls are made on behalf of reputed banks, credit card companies and insurance companies. The letter states that such entities have been urged to check their activities, including sending them legal notices. The initiatives of the service providers, government and consumer associations are still at a nascent stage and it will take some time before telemarketers in India are penalised for making unsolicited calls to mobile phone subscribers. However, with the government starting to take steps to end this menace, harassed consumers can heave a sigh of relief.

What kind of "Copyright violation" are they referring to in this issue?? The email itself looks very unprofessional which shows that they are a shoddy company, especially if it is sent from an Abuse Department of a company. How can they sue the domain registar for this issue?? "Media license" for running a plublic forum?? What do you mean? And "Santosh Jain - Manager Sales" has a "media license" for making allegations in his post against the admin of this forum??

Mind boggling !!!

wow iiii_pretender_iiii, you have just shown us all how to do a real review ! well done !!! looks as though you really love the phone !

thanks for that paraj, it helped me too when my friend was checking R-Connect on FC 5

That would require them to hire detectives to find out the credibility of a new customer. Remember the time when Reliance was not strict in having any kind of credit limit long time ago ? Many ran up into huge bills and they couldn't pay it off. Thats why new customers are assigned a uniform credit limit of Rs.1000 which should be fine unless the customer is a heavy caller. Moreover, most providers allow refundable deposits to up the credit limit, incase they are heavy callers. As per TRAI's directive, when the usage and other applicable charges reach 80% of the limit, the operators will have to intimate the subscriber about the consequences of his usage exceeding the credit limit, including the possibility of disconnection. You can even check your credit limit by dialing *333, then how can you say that you do not know about a credit limit ?

hey Steve, great work !!! by the way i'm a rock fan too... just love the old classics from Metallica, Nirvana, GNR... so keep rocking dude !

thats crazy ! its like an IP change everyday ! Is this a real server or a desktop PC ?

I just came across this article posted on Financial Express regarding the recharging problems faced by prepaid customers. I often face this problem in Bangalore while doing an e-recharge for both RIM and also for AirTel. Instead of spending money over advertisements and trying to lure more customers into their base, these operators should improve their infrastructre first
