I have read through my Comcast "Subscriber Agreement" and could not find the words router or firewall used anywhere within the agreement. However, I did find in one paragraph within the agreement under "Prohibited Uses of the Service" that says the customer is not to set up the service "as an...

I think Comcast's fine print said (at least when I signed up for comcast) I was not to install a router on my home service connection and if Comcast found a router on the connection, my service would be terminated. I do not know about all that now, but I use a Netgear firewall router for...

Be sure to use compressed air to blow all of the dust off the fan blades, fan body, and out of the power supply before doing any lube work. The fans can get so loaded with dust as to cause some bad sounding noise. I use a one foot length of about 1" diameter heater hose as an aid to listen to...

I have a bunch of older but still running computers that all have several fans each. I have lubricated most of the fans more than once, the noise stops, and they keep on ticking. Fan bearing require lubrication like all bearings and lack of lubrication is what causes most bearing failures in all...

You should ask your primary broker for the tick by tick data, not IB your backup broker.

I think you should do what is in your best financial interest. If that is overriding your feeling and pride and opening another IB account, that would be the best thing to do. We all know companies do not put their smartest and brightest on the customer service phone.

Most of my IB quotes are stuck or crossed and stuck. Is that what most of you are seeing. As the day goes by, it only gets worse. I can place TWS orders without any problems as long as I use my RealTick quotes for my information.

Per IB "Only the securities portion of a Universal Account is protected. Each evening, IB's margining system seeks to transfer as much cash as possible to the securities portion of the Universal Account". What I read out of IB's statements is if for any reason IB does not transfer...

I am not getting "news Data" today. Are there other RealTick users having this problem with the news server?

"There is nothing to fear but fear it-self" With the speed that IB turns stock orders around, there is no time for IB to be sitting in the middle and taking advantage of their clients. I have traded with IB since January 2000 and have never had any indication that I did not get the fair...

I also have read about these problems. The drivers may have to come from Compaq/OEM.

I have found eBay to be by far the cheapest place to by replacement batteries. Find out what the battery pack ID number is and type in eBay's search.

If you do a low level format (write zeroes to the drive), are all traces of the data removed from the drive such that the data can not be read or recovered any recovery software?

RT 7.6 has been working great for me. Comcast cable disconnects me sometimes several times a day due to all the data I am monitoring (30 windows open, 275 symbols, spread over 9 monitors). I get my moneys worth from RealTick and Comcast and Comcast is wondering what I am doing on my end every...

I read post about how powerful a computer is needed and win 98 has so many problems. I have built a few machines and one of mine is the following and it never gets behind the curve, or locks up like I read about with win 98. 2 1/2 yr old, Win 98 (first addition and not SE), MSI motherboard...

7.6 has been working great for me other than the down time of the "crash".

Ditto that statement! That applies to all trading software. I think IB's TWS has gone through about 10 revisions since I updated. Just too many bad experiences and I do not want to deal with the problems until I am forced to do so.

I get the feeling this outage is going to take a while to fix. I just hope the systems will be back to normal by trading time tomorrow. I have had my RealTick service for several years and would not trade without it. The customer support people have always been top notch. But, this time it sure...

The instant fills via TMBR are a real asset. It would be OK with me if TMBR could fill all of my orders.

Buy the Matrox G200 MMS G2 + QUADP - PL with the heat sinks. I have been using these cards for about two years and they have worked great with no problems. I made sure I did not buy a card configured for Compaq.
