How to increase your smartbro internet connection speed
How to increase your smartbro internet connection speed
After I posted about on "How to get SmartBRO Canopy IP Address" some people asked on how they can increase their Smartbro speed connection (smartbro is only available in the Philippines). Well here is a guide on how you can increase your internet browsing speed.
This guide worked for me when Im still a Smartbro subscriber (I switch now to PLDT MyDSL) and this settings also worked on some of my friends who uses Smartbro.
I posted this guide to help you increase your browsing speed but I cant give you the assurance that this guide will work for you but 90% of the people that uses this proxy settings worked for them and have seen the difference.
For Internet Explorer:
► Go to Tools
► Options
► Connections
► Lan settings
► Use Proxy Server
For Mozilla FireFox:
► Go to Tools
► Option
► Advance
► Network
► Settings
► Use Manual Proxy Configuration
For Address, use any of the following:
proxy.meridian.ph
proxy.smartwifi.com.ph
proxy.smartbro.net
or
203.84.191.215
121.1.3.194
121.1.3.200
for all the address use the port 8080
Note: This Proxy is for SmartBro Users Only.
Downloading Video from YouTube And others
There are many articles on how to download Youtube Video with Kiss YouTube, YouTube Downloader and there are so many other options. But YouTube is not the only site out there which provides video content, there are hundreds of them and in fact the number is growing. You may also want to download videos from Google Video, MetaCafe, MySpace, Revver, iFilm, Putfile, DailyMotion and so on. KeepVid helps you to download videos from all these sites and most of the other sites too (As of now they have listed down 40 sites and you can also try downloading from other sites).
How to Download?
Go To KeepVid and give the URL of the Video or the Video Page that is to be downloaded and mention the source (such as YouTube or Google). If the site you are downloading from is not mentioned, then list it under any site.
Click Download and they will give a Download link from which you can download the Video file alone.
Like in most video downloader, the Video that is downloaded will be in Flash format (.flv).
Download FLV Player from Applian or Download.Com
But you can always convert .flv format to WMV or AVI or any other format for free. Find out how in my next post.
Update: “How to convert .FLV(Flash) to .WMV, .AVI or any other format?”
Use this new easiest method to download online videos using real player, read more on “How to Download Youtube and Other Online Videos using Real Player?“

MSN Messenger Error Code - 80048820

The Symptoms you get
When you launch MSN Messenger and try to logon, you get error message 80048820. A wild guess, your system time, or system date needs adjusting.
Possible Cause of Code 80048820
There are a variety of causes of this error:
1) Incorrect Proxy Setting for Internet Explorer.
2) softpub.dll may have become unregistered.
3) Your system clock may be showing an incorrect time - or date! (Wrong time is the most likely cause of 80048820).
4) Firewall problems. Particularly with Netgear.
The Solutions to MSN Error Code 80048820
Internet Explorer - Try removing the tick next to Internet Explorer Proxy server settings, instead, go with the Automatically detect settings.
1) Launch Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options.
From the Internet Options dialog box, go to the Connections tab.
Click LAN Setting. Un check the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections) checkbox. Finally positively tick: Automatically detect settings.
2) Register softpub.dll.

Click Start (Button), and then click Run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll. Restart MSN Messenger.
3) If necessary, logon as a local administrator and set the computers clock to the correct date and time. (Check on the internet if possible.)
4) Turn off the firewall temporarily. Check firewall settings such as Norton: "Block access to secure sites". If this cures the problem, make sure that Microsofts MSN Messenger is allowed full access through your firewall.
NetGear problem, but also with some other routers
a) Enter IP address 192.168.0.1 in your browsers address bar.
b) Log on with ISP user name and password.
c) Enter Admin, password
d) Navigate to advanced menu, WAN set-up
e) Change MTU size to 1400
5) Try a password of no more than 8 characters.
6) If you are using IE 7.0 check the SSL Settings. Internet options advanced (Tab) scroll down to the bottom. Security section. Tick Use ssl 2.0.
7) One of the simplest ways of curing MSN error 80048820 is to unplug, or restart your modem. This is particularly effective for cable modems.
8) We should have tried this solution before; check that the MSN site is up available. However, even if the site is down, you dont usually get error code 80048820.
8a) As a variation, of checking online, you could try phoning your local Microsoft Support office. Local area numbers available from http://support.microsoft.com.
9) Have you just installed any anti-virus software? Did the anti-virus software just make a big update? Try disabling and see if that cures the error.
10) A drastic solution is to try uninstalling MSN Messenger version 8.0 or 7.5 and install Microsoft MSN version 7.0.
What is DSL?

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a high-speed Internet service that competes with cable Internet to provide online access to local customers. DSL operates over standard copper telephone lines like dial-up service, but is many times faster than dial-up. In addition to being faster than dial-up, DSL does not tie up the phone line, coexisting with telephone service so that one can surf the Net and use the phone at the same time.
DSL service requires a DSL modem, which connects to the telephone wall jack and computer. The device acts as a modulator, translating the computer’s digital signals into voltage sent across the telephone lines to a central hub known as a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplier (DSLAM, or dee-slam). In lay terms the DSLAM acts as a switchboard for local DSL clients, routing requests and responses between each client’s computer address and the Internet.
Voice calls and DSL can coexist on copper lines because each service utilizes its own frequency band. You might think of bands like lanes of a freeway. Voice signals are sent in a relatively low band, while Internet signals occupy a much higher band. To keep the voice band clear of bleeding signal noise, a small filter is commonly installed on all telephone lines in the house, blocking the higher frequencies.
The DSL “service lane” is split for two-way traffic, or downstream and upstream signals. When you click on a link, you are requesting something from the Internet, initiating upstream traffic. The returned webpage arrives as downstream traffic. Since requests only require small bits of data, the upstream lane can be fairly narrow (low bandwidth), but the downstream lane must be much wider (high bandwidth) to send webpages, multimedia, graphics, files and programs. Thus, standard DSL is called Asynchronous DSL or ADSL, because the download speed is much faster than the upload speed.
Businesses, however, might require sending large files, data and programs between non-local networked offices, in which case a different flavor of DSL might be preferred. Synchronous DSL or SDSL offers the same high speed for both downloading and uploading. Hard core geeks might also like SDSL for exchanging files, games and other multimedia. The drawback is that it is more expensive than standard DSL.
With today’s ubiquitous use of cell phone service, millions of people have foregone landline service all together. In this case a service known as “naked DSL” might be offered in your area, which provides DSL service without telephone service.
In many areas, fiber optic cable service (FiOS) is replacing standard telephone lines. FiOS provides much greater bandwidth than copper lines with the ability to offer true high-speed Internet that is many times faster than DSL or standard cable service. Though availability differs between regions, FiOS services typically offer bundled options for television, digital telephone and Internet.
Among the various DSL packages, plans are based on speed, with slower speeds costing less than plans that offer higher speeds. Bottom-tier DSL might be as little as $12 US Dollars (USD) per month, and is still many times faster than dial-up. Mid-range plans might run closer to $20 USD, and $30 USD can typically buy top tier plans. Your distance to the nearest DSLAM will determine in large part the actual speeds you achieve. The closer to the DSLAM the better, as signal degrades with distance causing latency issues. If you are at the outskirts of the service area, you might not see the full speed of your subscribed plan.
A DSL modem is commonly included with service as a “leased” item to be returned at the end of the contract, but this is typically a standard modem without router or wireless capability. If you desire wirelessly sharing your Internet connection with another computer in the home or office, you’ll likely require an upgrade. In some cases, the cost of this upgrade in the DSL contract is equal to buying a wireless router with built-in modem yourself. Read the fine print; if you’ll have to return the device at the end of the contract period, you might want to opt to supply your own equipment.
