3. Note where the telco line comes in, probably a regular (RJ11) phone connector, Possibly held down with a wire clip.

4. Unplug it.

Does this work with a house wired for DSL too?

Thanks!

Do step 4 and you don't have DSL service anymore, do ...

Any ideas on how I would go about getting this work? Like a tutorial?
No, I don't like a tutorial. But, I'll give it a shot. It's simple.

1. Do you know where the telco box is on a side of your house?

If not, go find it and come back.

2. Open the box, you'll probably need a flat blade ...

Of course? Um, why not? Did you unplug the AT&T line coming into your main box?

Do that first, then plug a line from the Magic Jack into any phone outlet and the whole house should be ready to go.

Hi, Evey one Just got a
HP Compaq T5700 Thin Client 1G 192/256 XPe/IE US T5000

Janet, I'm surprised no one has jumped in here yet but the cold hard fact is that Magicjack needs more than 192/256 to run. 256/512 is probably the bare minimum, but you'd be better off with 512/1024.

So, the first ...

Many routers keep their client table for a considerable time period. Do a power cycle or hit the reset button on the back to clear it.

Oh by the way MR. CAPS sent me a PM telling me to get a life since I complained about his all caps. Funny but my reply to him never mentioned ANYTHING about all caps, just my reply to you. Maybe since I didnt type my response to him in all caps, he didnt understand it :)

Not sure if you were involved with the early days of 8 bit computing, Joe, but I have an idea you were. You should remember many of those old machines came out with no lowercase capability at all and the demand for it was so great that lowercase roms and mod kits were the result. They were expensive ...

Thin clients are thin (sic) when it comes to virus and malware protection. I had one up and running Magicjack for over a year without a hitch but it is possible that some sort of bug or critter invaded your machine. It is a simple and relatively painless process to wipe the operating system and ...

Sounds like you've done everything you could do. Probably time to declare it finished.

When I was in the computer hardware business I'd console my clients with the simple observation that nothing lasts forever.

All you know now is that the green light doesn't come on but the blue light on the Magicjack does.

Plug a monitor in and confirm that it doesn't attempt to boot.

If no information is forthcoming then open it up and reseat anything that is socketed.

Or, at least push them down firmly.

This whole ...

dogcacher

Before you open it up, plug a monitor into it and restart it. You may find out all you need to know from watching for the point at which it fails.

Probably be a good idea to attach a keyboard, too. It may ask for a keypress to continue or enter CMOS setup.

dogcacher

Do tell. In case it somehow didn't show, I'm not technical. In fact, I thought a thin client was basically just an interface to a centralized CPU...and I thought MJ needs a CPU?

If not, this is looking better all the time.

Thanks again.

Now if somebody would just buy the TC I have listed in the for sale section I'd go away forever.

I am using both a PC and MAC an a powered USB hub . I have Telus "high" speed ADSL with about 78-80 Upload.

What is your Internet connection speed (bandwidth)?

Sounds like a half decent idea to me.

If you're gonna be away for a few hours or a few days and want your callers to be aware of it and perhaps still contact you, this would accomodate such a situation.

Temporary 'away' message.

dogcacher

the last updates were aimed at ata and TC users to make life more aggravating for those users.
ATA yes. But my guess is that there aren't enough TC users to have any influence on Magicjack's strategies. They advertise 30 million sold, I doubt if there are more than a couple hundred TC users ...

But the weird part is the MJ doesn't try to load when plugged into a non upgraded T5710.

It should. Why wouldn't it?
No idea and I don't want to waste your time with speculation. I do know for sure that 512/512 is the absolute minimum, matter of fact I'd make that 512/1024 without hesitation ...

and Dan and company probably do not want people running their MJ's 24/7 like a real phone line cutting into profits.

Why would Dan care what computer it is run on as long as it is running and the account is up to date? Plus I would think 24/7 is expected by all concerned.

Hang in there, Jim. Sifting through hihacked threads, endless off topic hostilities, and poorly formatted responses has become part of the game around here.

What was the question? 911 and Magicjack?

Hit and miss. Not a good idea to depend on it.

Hope you don't need it.

Don't forget the step involving the boot order in the CMOS setup on the TC.

Get in there and change it to USB first.

Then when you're done change it back or the thing will try to boot from the magicjack dongle after it's plugged in.

It may be necessary to remove some devices to get the ports initialized. Keyboard and mouse (and everything else, like printer, etc) can be reattached after the boot process is finished.

How much RAM do you have in your thin client?
Whoa, hold on. There is a critical distinction that needs to be made here. The minimum requirement for the latest Magicjack software is 256/512, with the 256 being minimum ram memory and 512 being the IDE Flash Module, the solid state hard drive.
