DSL using USB?

We have 8 machines networked together in a dental office. One of those machines we use as a server. We had DSL installed last week and they changed all of the settings to "Obtain IP address automatically" After re rebooted the remote machines we had a difficult time finding our mapped network drive. But I cant connect to the internet using the ethernet cable. I did some checking around and was told that the server should have a static IP address. I changed it back to a static address and everything works fine now as far as accessing the network drive, which all machines MUST do. What Id like to know is, can I have the DSL modem connected to more than one machine using the USB cable instead of the ethernet cable. I could see how one machine could use USB for access to the web, but I'm wondering if a USB hub will allow more than one machine to go online? If not a hub, then some other piece of equipment

DSL using USB?
You can use USB port to connect the entire network to the internet, the major drawback is that it drastically reduce the data transfer from internet because of slow data transfer rate. All the PC's can be configured to get IP addresses automatically, Your DSL Modem can act as DHCP server, connect your modem straight into the switch using ethernet cable, but make sure that your modem is configured to act as DHCP server. I hope this will help.

Which job would you take?

(1) GPS?Laser Guidance systems technician working with heavy machinery (construction equipment) to make it automated. It utilizes laser and GPS data to make large earthmoving jobs smoother and much more accurate. It provides a company vehicle, gas card, and health/dental insurance. Lots of travel time included.





or.................................





(2) GSE mechanic for a small FBO at a major airport. The company tailors to multi-millionaires and VIP aircraft going in and out of the airport. Company has own private jet for company paid vacations. Gives employee a chance of meeting many well-known faces. You would be your own boss and make your own hours. Holidays are paid and once hired are automatically given a weeks paid vacation, no having to wait a year for benefits. Also works with defense department on secret projects.











Both jobs can be very dirty at times. Both pay the exact same. Which would you do?

Which job would you take?
The second one sounds like it is offering more then the first, and it just seems like it would be more interesting. And the being your own boss part is great. Best of luck and success and which ever positon you decide to take.
Reply:#2, since you would be your own boss.
Reply:I'd pick job# 1, and definitely not job#2.





The reason I would not pick job# 2 is because a) it sucks to work for really rich people because many (most) are really demanding (jerks) and b) working with the government is a pain-in-the-butt because of all the rules you have to follow.
Reply:If you are single you should take job 1....... if you have a family then you need to take job 2......


If you have a family and you don't like your wife or kids then take job 1....

Living in the UK... expensive, expensive, expensive?

Does anybody find that they are struggling to cope in ths country with rising prices and costs of living. I feel that I am being priced out in every area:





- Unable to afford a new car.


- Unable to go on holiday.


- Unable to start a family (costs of buying baby equipment etc).


- Unable to make home improvements.


- Unable to afford a private pension.


- Unable to afford private medical insurance and dental care.





There are many other things but I could go on all day. Anybody else find themselves in this situation.

Living in the UK... expensive, expensive, expensive?
YES, i have recently just bought a new car but i was lucky because i inherited it. I have a flat in central london but i do have to put more than half of my wages into it.


It is going to be another 10 or so years before i can sell the flat and move somewhere else.





And don't even get me started on congestion charges, i really am just getting extremely ANNOYED about this and it could get worse I pay 64 pounds a week but it is worth it, I just love driving although it would be so much cheaper to get the tube it would also be faster than getting the car, but if you register you’re car as a cab you can pay less than 50 pounds a year. (Found that out from top gear last Sunday).





My job does not provide a pension and I am getting worried about my pension , I am 28 so I guess I would have to start saving up because I do really not want to get a state pension.





Holidays – this Christmas will be my first holiday in 7 years, I am going to Finland with that money I inherited, I cannot wait, it is my girlfriends first trip abroad,





And family – well my girlfriend is a week pregnant , it was an accident and I wish she was not pregnant but she wants to keep it, but I simply do not think that I will be able to afford it.
Reply:yes. it is a struggle
Reply:no
Reply:I have plenty cash, but then I don't waste my cash on going out at the weekend and getting hammered or any of the other useless things most people do spend their money on.
Reply:That is how i feel everything is going up you name it food oil price of fuel on planes stealth taxes maybe we should do what the french do and take to the streets to protest about this govt.
Reply:Yep, its a struggle.





Even if you have a good job its still hard.
Reply:Every one lives to their means, if you got a sudden huge pay rise, you would still have trouble affording things. Every penny is always accounted for and there is hardly anything left for pleasure. It's always been like this especially now. I'm thinking of moving abroad.
Reply:I am in alot of debt and i won't be getting a job this summer ahhhh i won't think about summer for a while or i could cry yes you are correct the UK has taxed as too much and everything is far to expensive why don't you save up and move to a nice european contry your ££'s you saved will go so far over in some of those places! Give it a try but be smart do your research for your housing and jobs out their best of luck!
Reply:No we are O.K zabe, but then we don't go out drinking or smoking, etc. But yes things do seem to be getting more expensive, don't know how young newly weds manage to cope. Especially when they have kids too.


But with many people it doesn't matter how much you've got you'll always want more, and what you've got is never enough.
Reply:each week when we do the shopping it cost's more we buy the same stuf each week and the price is never the same as the week before
Reply:It really is not only a matter of rising prices but also of rising expectations. As recently as twenty years ago people did not expect to be able to afford to have a new car and take a holiday abroad in the same fiscal year; most people never really thought about private medical insurance and the modern rage for making improvements to your home that it does not need simply in the hope of increasing the value of it...well, people still saw their houses as homes and not as investments to be traded up from as quickly as possible.


As for not being able to afford a baby...what that tends to mean and always has meant is that you can not afford to become a parent and still enjoy all of the activities and purchases you want for yourself? Plenty of people on low incomes manage just fine when they have babies although a cot from Mothercare costs the same no matter what your income is.Of course, if your baby needs to have a cot from Harrods you are going to have to learn to save money very carefully.
Reply:Absolutely, so now is the time to get out.


That's Why I live in Spain.


Laws, Rules %26amp; Regulations are different.


Less expensive, with different life-style.


Stress..minimal...


Britain is sinking, Floods %26amp; North Sea.


Stay %26amp; decay.....?
Reply:Most people in UK are coping well just by equiping themselve


to earn more. If you could not, you are a failure. One is free


to immigrate to another country of choice.
Reply:I'm right there with you. The only things I've done out of those is start a family, and get a private pension (through work). Living in London, it's impossible to buy a car. The congestion charge would rob me of £8 a day, the insurance would be too high and petrol prices are rising all the time.


Home inprovements and holidays are out of the question at the moment as I am a single parent and every penny I have goes into clothing and feeding my kids, and keeping a roof over their heads.





And a quick comment to Foo. Not everyone is broke because we're chucking away money on nights out. I have pretty much no social life to speak of. I don't drink alcohol at all, I don't go clubbing, I was dropped in the shite by my loser ex-husband.





Oh, and for the record I don't have any credit cards or loans either, so I'm living just within my means right now.

Medical job without heavy lifting?

I am interested in a career in the medical or health field. I love helping people, and I greatly enjoy learning about medical and health related issues. Problem is I herniated 5 spinal disks back in 2001 and lifting anything above 15 pounds is still risky. I would like a clinical position, as opposed to an administrative/paperwork job. I have checked into diagnostic medical sonography, radiology technology, physical therapy, etc. - but they all require you to be able to lift patients. I have thought about dental hygiene - but I don't find the field of dentistry appealing. I also thought about being a nurse in a doctor's office since there should be little to no lifting - but the internships are done in hospitals so while in school, I would be expected to lift patients. Can anyone think of a clinical position in medicine where I wouldn't have to lift patients or move heavy equipment? (Even Respitory Therapists have to push machines that weigh 600 pounds.) Thanks in advance!

Medical job without heavy lifting?
first thing that pops into my head is pharmacy.





i almost went that route. but decided to go with emergency medicine instead.





reasoning, is that i did a job shadow for a day, with a pharmacist. i got his insight, and watch him do his job





i walked away, with the knowledge that it is the most boring/repatative job in the health-field today. of course there important, and 1 slight miscount in dosage could kill someone. it is still repatative and boring (this is actually what the pharmacist told me)......





it sounds like it might suit you, atleast for now. alot of pharmacys need pharmacy tech's. catch is that your standing all the time. but atleast doing a few months at that job, you'd walk away with a good refrence, and a foot in the door, that leads you into the medical world

What would you do in this situation (higher paying job-related)??

Ok, here's the 411 - Im an aspiring actor/writer/director trying to make his 1st low budget feature, I found a way to get the equipment for as cheap as $3000, thanks to this book. But I can't spend any savings right away due to low income.





My girl and I live in the Bronx, NY. She's a nurse aide making like 29K/year and I just got a job as a security guard making $9.85/hour. We both work midnight shifts.





I just got a higher paying job, $13/hour, at cablevision, they're offering to pay my cable, electric, excellet benefits, dental, health, the whole works. The catch is I have to work 4:30pm-1:00am.





I figure to make more money and save some more (because OUR expenses are not a lot, just $1100-rent, electric, gas, etc. $130 for cable, phone, internet and $200 for groceries), I have to study for something at some school right? Well I dont want to spend too much money on degrees or spend too much time at a school so.... (please read below)

What is wrong with a dentist making over $100,000 a year?

I am a dental assistant, so I know the behinds the scenes reasons why dentistry is so expensive. I am amazed at the number of people on here who call dentists money hungry and complain about the amount of money that dentists make, but a dentist isn't so bad when that same person has a horrible toothach. Do patients really think that the money they pay a dentist goes directly into their pocket? Do patients not realize that everything that they see in that office, from the drills to the anesthetic down to a single piece of paper, costs money, and that a dentist has to pay for all of this, rent, lab bills, utilities, salaries, malpractice insurance, continueing ed courses, repairs to computers and other equipment, before he pockets a dime of the money patients pay him? I can tell you, if I went to school for 8 years, paid over $300,000 for dental school, and had to deal with the issues that dentists do, I would expect to take home over $1000,000 a year. Wouldn't you?

What is wrong with a dentist making over $100,000 a year?
I agree. When I was in hygiene school we were told over and over to watch how many towels we used just to dry our hands becuz in the real world dentists are cheapskates with what they need to spend. They should be, if people knew all the supplies and other expenses that it takes and just the stress of getting that far in your career, you should be making that much or more. The dentists at my office are very nice and have done a lot of quick procedures free of charge when I've walked in needing something like a small chip drilled smooth.
Reply:I'm not saying dentists make too much, but anyone who works 40 hours or more a week ought to have a comfortable lifestyle. No fair some people work 2 jobs just to pay their basic bills! Report It

Reply:sometimes the only thing that keeps him from blowing his brains out. Report It

Reply:I think they should make more, personally.


My dentist definitely is NOT money hungry, he does some things free of charge sometimes.
Reply:NOTHING, they should make that and more. Medical equipment is expensive, the medicines for anethesia for the patients, the material for repair of teeth and Gums, and Xray film is too. Keeping inventory to its potential is very expensive, as the Rent for the office space...even if they own the building...Taxes have to be paid.





I agree with you, plus the STAFF has to be paid for Assisting in running the office.
Reply:Nothing is wrong with it. My dentist and her staff are wonderful. I hope she makes that much. My teeth have never been better. No cavities in 10 years. I credit her staff for the great job they do with cleaning.


I also read my EOB'S and after the insurance takes off the contractual agreement she doesn't see much.
Reply:Those money grubbing bastards. Why do I get the feeling that my dentist did a root canal just to get enough money to pay his monthly lease on a Mercedes that cost more than my house? They would be crying all the way to the bank, except the banks go to dentists when they want to borrow money. They pay their staff minimum wage and complain about overhead driving them to the poor house. That can't be a bad place to be, though, if they are driving there in an S-class Mercedes. And the trophy wife will meet him there in her Porsche SUV. My dentist once made me wait almost 12 hours to see him when I had already suffered with a toothache for 18 days. I called him at home and he said that he'd be willing to meet me at the office, but the Scrooge said it would cost an extra fifty bucks for him to leave his comfy living room to see him at night. I think he's just trying to figure out a sneaky way to get part of the money I owe him for taking out my tooth two years ago. He acted like it was a big deal to see me before he started seeing his regular patients for the day, as if he needed more money. Hey, he's the one with the castle on the hill. He probably has a home at the beach, too, where he keeps his boat. Why should I pay him anything anyhow? The insurance paid their 50% of the fee, after all. That should be enough. Dentists have clean work anyhow. Who works harder? A dentist who barely has to lift a finger and sits on his fat butt all day and has people hand him things that are one foot away from him or a trash collector who has to lift heavy cans of stinky garbage all day and toss them into the back of a truck? America has got it all backwards. If anyone deserves to make $100,000, it's the poor trashman and not the got-it-made-in-the-shade dentist.
Reply:So, Dr. Sam would rather be a garbage collector than a dentist? He still has his seance of humour.
Reply:Well I agree there are a lot of costs but on the other hand, my boss drives a mercedes, lives in a mansion in an exclusive suburb, wife has a cleaner etc, kids have Saabs, lots of overseas trips and all the rest of it.
Reply:They make what their worth, its just the sticker shock with the prices of everything. Like 5 grand for a 6 tooth bridge. You wouldn't think that it would cost that much, but i guess it does. Its just that certain (not all) dentists add every single upcharge and lab fee onto their costs. I went and had a consultation with one dentist and wanted to charge me like 18 grand for some dental work, I went to another dentist, talked to him and some patients and got the same work done for half the cost since there werent' a bunch of BS lab fees and upcharges added on.
Reply:I don't think like that , I would pay my dentist with out a problem , he makes my mouth feel better

Is a second opinion a good idea?

I went to a dentist today for the first time in 5 years and she said I needed what probably amounts to $5000 or more in dental work. !5 cavities, bone loss, pockets etc. I brush twice a day and floss daily, eat a healthy diet and I seem to have no problems or pains now. It was a free promotional dental checkup by a telemarketer. Do you think she's being honest? Its a very nice new office with all modern equipment etc. Should I get a second opinion from another dentist? How do I get an objective opinion?

Is a second opinion a good idea?
since it's not your regualr dentist and f you canget into anther relatively soon and who's known and reputable -- it wouldn't hurt and you might save yourself some money. the cavities could be small and they will grow - poskets -we all have them. if they are 3/4 in hte back - take better care and don't over floss - can happen might want to use dental tape but if they were 5's or higher there are some concerns - 11 or 12 and you'd better get that second opinion ASAP





Good luck!
Reply:ONE was a 5..... ONE??? i have a feeling it was on the side you chew the most or one of those spots that you over floss - we all have one!





good luck! Report It

Reply:It certainly can't hurt to get a 2nd opinion. However, you should establish a regular dentist and have check-ups every 6 months. good luck
Reply:Yes, get a second opinion. You don't have any relationship established with this dentist so you have no way of knowing if she is lining her pockets. A few years ago, the dentist told me I needed $20,000 is work. Two other dentists told me $1500. A second opinion doesn't hurt.
Reply:Definitely get a second opinion. Ask people you know which dentist they go to, how they like them, what they cost, etc. That should help you decide.
Reply:I would definately get a second opinion. I went for the first time in four years a few months ago. I have never had a cavity and didn't have any when I went to the dentist. I had some extra plaque, but that was all. Go to a well known dentist in your area.
Reply:if u have doughts get a second opinion
Reply:u should get a second opinion b/c it could be possible that the dentist and the telemarketer were working together in a scam. Get your own personal dentist, maybe someone family and friends go to. See what they have to say. Better to safe than sorry.
Reply:YES!!! get a second opinion, my aunt went to one dentist for the first time in over 12 years and the dentist said it would be alot of work, 2 days before she went to surgery she went to 2 another dentist who said it would be about 2 to 5 thousand dollars when the first one said it would be around 12 to 15 thousand! she switched dentists and the one who did it cheaper fixed everything in 3 surgeries! HER TEETH LOOK GREAT! so yes most diffently get a second opinion!!! good luck!
Reply:get a second opinion
Reply:I'm a dentist.





I hope you had a chance to read the responses posted above this one. They range from clueless to downright idiotic.





There is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, but what makes you think that the second opinion is going to be the right one?





Maybe I'm just imagining it, but you seem to have it in your head that the doctor who recommends LESS work is the more honest of the two. I can assure you that this is not the case. It is entirely possible that the second doctor may not recognize the problems identified by the first. It is also possible that they have different treatment philosophies. For example, I am generally more aggressive when it comes to diagnosing cavities because I have seen too many seemingly small cavities turn out to be large ones, hence I like to catch them early. Other doctors like to wait and watch and leave a tooth untouched as long as possible, because once a tooth has been drilled, it is committed forever to maintenance care. We are both right, but we're different.





The overwhelming majority of dentists, like physicians, are honest people. Rest assured, we make plenty of money without cheating you and making false diagnoses in order to "line our pockets" as some a$$hole above so deftly put it.





Moreover, your argument that "I brush twice a day and floss twice a day" is old and tired. I hear that nonsense from cavity-ridden patients every single day and I just dismiss it as background noise every time I hear it. It's meaningless drivel. Moreover, your "healthy diet" may still very well be suitable for tooth decay to develop. Decay-causing bacteria don't just live on sucrose.





Finally, you made the statement "I seem to have no problems or pains now." If so, then there is absolutely no point in seeing the first doctor, let alone the second doctor. You are obviously capable of diagnosing your own health care needs, so why waste your money?





Of course, I was wondering if you know what the symptoms of hypertension are.....
Reply:For once, I'm in complete agreement with Nebula D. Getting the second opinion will only cost you your time and money, but if you're ok with that, cool. You'll find that many of the dentists today are practicing preventative dentistry. I'm assuming from your post, that your dentist has diagnosed you with periodontal disease (bone loss and pocketing). That's something that can turn very serious and shouldn't be ignored. I've seen more then my share of patients lose teeth to it. So yes, I do think she was being honest, but if it makes you feel better, go get a second opinion. If you go to 10 different dentists, you're going to have 10 different treatment plans.
Reply:it's always a good idea. it's a better idea to not tell the 2nd opinion that they are indeed a second opinion so that you get an honest answer. don't be surprised if the second opinion is drastically different because some dentists are just more aggressive and some are more conservative.
Reply:Dentists can vary widely in treatment philosophy and still be honest.





Some dentists have more sensitive diagnostic equipment, some - as said above - are more into preventative maintenance while others are overly conservative. There can be alternative ways to treat a problem - implants vs. bridges vs. partial dentures for example. Agurments can be made for and against each option.





Inform yourself, find a dentist who explains things to your satisfaction, build up a trusting relationship before you start "shopping" for professional care.





The only thing that sets off my alarm bells is a dentist who uses telemarketing to build a practice. Not the most conventional method, and usually not used by well-respected and successful dentists.
Reply:Nopes its a scam. Dont go there.


Does a portable gasoline generator which produces 110 current make 50 or 60 megahertz?

I need to know ASAP for a charity dental program in progress in a remote village. The dentist's equipment needs 60 mH. Thank you.

Does a portable gasoline generator which produces 110 current make 50 or 60 megahertz?
AC power is usually 50 or 60 Hertz, not megahertz - that would be millions of cycles per second. The proper abbreviation is Hz, or MHz for megahertz. The abbreviation "mH" stands for "millihenrys," something very different.





Generators are all different. "House" current in the US is 110V, 60Hz. Europe is 220V, 50Hz, but other combinations of voltage and frequency are used in other countries.





If you buy it in the US, the generator will probably be the US standard. Look at the product description for the particular generator to be sure. If you actually have one on hand, look around for a panel that has the ratings stamped or printed on it, usually along with the serial number.





You also want to make sure that the generator delivers the right amount of total power - ask the dentist how much [s]he needs. That will be measured in Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) - thousands of Watts. Instead of wattage, you might see the generator rated in Amperes (A). Find power by multiplying Volts times Amps, so 110V and 10A is 1100W or 1.1kW.


Can you trust your doctor/dentist?

I am not questioning doctors' medical expertise but if they rally have your best interest at heart. Here's my experience.





I had a tooth extracted due to a root canal infection and my oral and maxillofacial surgeon told me that I should have my surgery for a dental implant in 6 months but by dentist told me I could wait 8 months.





Also, he made me book a appointment, regarding a dental implant. I came and he told me that he did not have the equipment to do my oral imaging and referred to me an oral imaging facility. He also charged me for the appointment. I had to come back for the dental implant consultation.





I changed dentists and had the first surgery for a dental implant. My surgeon than told me that I could have my next surgery in 4 months but my new dentist told me that I should wait 4-6 months for my second surgery.





He's also supposed a highly regarded oral and maxillofacial surgeon, considered one of the best in Canada.





Anyone have any similar experiences?

Can you trust your doctor/dentist?
I am sorry to hear about your negative experiences with your surgeon.





To answer your question, it really depends on the doctor. There are doctors who view their practice as a business and treat you as a mere means to an end (money). There are also doctors, who genuinely care about their patients and view you as a person, with intrinsic self-worth.





Here are some of my experiences. My family doctor constantly attempts to make me book unnecessary appointments.





I heard of a free dental clinic in Parkdale (one of the poorest areas in Toronto); the dentists are all volunteers and all of the services are free. Some health professionals have a heart.





Hope this helps!

I've had many doctors and dentists...some were good, some were bad.





I've heard that some dentists will tell people they have a cavity or more than they do, just to "fix" it and get the money for it. I looked into after I had gone my entire life without any cavaties, always took excellent care of my teeth, visited the dentist every six months....then out of the blue, they tell me I have 3 cavaties.





I had one gyn that wouldn't prescribe me BCPs due to her religious beliefs...needless to say I only visited her once.





I had a radiologist tell me "People like you waste time on our machines when other people really need sonograms," despite the fact my gyn had referred me to have something specifically checked.





But on the other hand, I've had some medical professionals go out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with the care I received.

Reply:You only listed positive options for #12. I'm didn't do the survey but I'm a female in the army I would not know where to begin in how we're treated differently. A lot of times I've been the only female and the hardest part is working with men who have been in 20+ years and never worked with a female.





You have good questions but you would get so much more info if you asked open ended question and post an email address for those who don't want that much info posted in an open area.

21. cI actually believe theres a lot of jobs women shouldn't be able to do and people won't understand this till they have to do them. When I'm out there working you can easily see women can do the job, but they are constantly being pulled along by men. So what if there are more women? Then the job for men becomes tougher, because they have pic up even more slack.
