How to get internet and Netflix on my new Samsung Blu Ray Player?

Mar 31, 2010 by dpsa98 | Posted in Home Theater

Hi I have a Samsung blu ray player that offers Netflix and You Tube and internet stuff but I don't know how to connect everything so I can get all the online features. I have dsl on my regular computer with a Linksys router but running the ethernet cord from the living room to my bedroom is not an option. The linksys router box is completely on the other side of the house. I have a linksys wireless network adapter that will plug into the usb port on my blu ray player but I don't know how to run the software from my blu ray player so it will work? Anyone have any idea how this can work? Please.....please....please....

To All You Computer Wizards?

Mar 29, 2010 by Beth | Posted in Desktops

Ok. So here's the issue. Our computer is pretty much D E A D.

Here's the symptoms;

-the disk drive won't read. ANYTHING.

-wireless internet won't connect, or find other connection, like our home connection.

-we have a usb internet adapter thing (Linksys from Cisco Systems) and it reads, but doesn't connect, show-up, and when you search it it comes up as nothing. I know it reads, because it shows up when i go to safely remove hardware.

-runs REALLY slow.

-if you click on my computer, instead of the usual things showing up, it only shows Local Disk (C:), Norton Back-up Drive, Shared Docs, and Docs.


Here's some of the things i think got it this way;
My brother used to go on Addicting Games. A LOT. My brother and I may use limewire...occasionally... And we go on the usual google, wiki, facebook, formspring, bebo, whatever.

The disk drive was the first to go. And we had to disconnect it to rip up the carpet, then all else failed. Any help or advice would be super, or any way to fix it so we don't have to go to Geek squad and waste a fortune. My family is trying to start a business so money is VERY TIGHT. please help :(
and it's a DELL.

It sounds like a virus, or more than one virus. In any case, that's one of the things you need to rule out first.

I had good luck using this to repair computers, on more than one occasion, the free Avira AntiVir Rescue CD,

You need to be able to download the Avira AntiVir Rescue System setup program, and burn a CD, from another working computer. The CD you burn is then bootable. Boot the infected computer on the CD, then it will run a scan and clean any viruses it finds. (To boot a computer on a CD, make sure the CD drive appears ahead of the hard drive, in the boot sequence settings in BIOS. On many computers, often you hit <delete> or F10, right as the computer begins to boot, to enter BIOS setup.)
