Is it normal to have AC voltage on a COAX line from the cable company?

Try this. I found it on line and it might help solve the problem. http://www.tselectronic.com/gc/video/surge_block.html?tse_Session=a1810461ed6dc5852c42a495bed5dfd8\nI don't think dharden1205 has any idea what he's talking about. there could be a carrier voltage to help with signal transmission, but it should be low enough as not to harm your modem. If you've got it running off a power supply (UPS), then it's already isolated from the direct supply in your home. This shouldn't be happening. Call back your provider and insist they come out and test your cable for transient voltage. You have options to cancel your service and go elsewhere right???

do you have a cable box?

contact the cable company. only they know why

EIA 568B and A can both go to the same switch yeah.  Just make sure both ends of the cable are using the same standard.  If you get a link light your're good to go.

I'll try to return the favor of answering your q...\n\nI have a couple of decades of hardware experience, and your problem is one of the more difficult to pin down quickly. It's possible you have power supply problems (your electrical system). If the voltage dips "too far" (how far is too far depends on the electrical device) then your Compaq may shut down. Different computers, even different Compaqs, may shut down more, or less easily as the voltage coming from your wall outlet sags below 120 volts. You may, or may not, notice the lights dimming, but it may still be enough to trip the off circuit in your Compaq. If you don't have one yet, spend $40+ and get a battery backup (UPS). It'll help any system last longer, too. I like the APC UPSs.\n\nSecond possibility is that your Compaqs power supply (internal silver box) may be getting flakey. I haven't worked on a Compaq in a long time, but they used to have "custom" (proprietary) power supplies that required going back to them (Compaq) for a replacement (at a premium price). If it's a standard size/shape, then a new power supply is only around $50 to $60 and available at most local PC stores. Not a lot of expense, and easy to replace for even a novice. (Please uplug the system from the wall first, and try not to touch any electronic components inside the computer during your foray into the inner-world of your Compaq.)\n\nIf you still have trouble after confirming your electrical supply is good and your power supply isn't causing the shutdown, it is -slightly- possible you have a bad hard drive or mainboard. Replacing either of these is doable, but not for the non-tech. If you have a spare hard drive, you can just install it (replace your current hard drive) and fire the system up...let it sit...if it runs for a substantial amount of time longer than it usually does, then you -might- have found the problem. \n\nFinally, you may just have a heat problem. Try making sure all the vents (front, side, back) are clean and clear of obstruction. If you feel competent, take the case cover off and blow out the dust inside (but take the system OUTside first!). I've seen systems in relatively clean office environments build up a half-inch of grey fuzzy 'lint' all over the inside in less than a year. Even if this doesn't fix your problem, it'll probably make your system last longer by running cooler. I've seen hard drives that ran as low as 90 degrees F, and as high as 175 degrees F. The lower the better...within reason (less than 120F should be fine).\n\nHope this helps.

List all the specs for the computer, (in most cases the make and model will be sufficient)\nusually coax is used for audio and video. http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products1-2.aspx?modelid=30

Cat 5 Cabling is limited to 295ft which is about 95meters so if you are only 10 meters then you should be ok make sure you have the Right cabling and your ends are color coded righ Their are 3 basic color coding 568A 568B and Crossover. I listed a web sight below that may help you some as well. good luck

I think you;re on target. It's probably the cable. Make sure the cable is shielded. and the shield is only connected at one end.

No, the voltages are different

Sounds kind of dangerous, I'm not sure. Depending on how old it is and what type of tv it is, it could be an exploded tube or fried wiring!

It is telling you that nothing is plugged into the port for the network cable.  You won't have one unless you are using a cable modem, DSL modem, or a router.  If you have one of those things, and a cable in place, you may have a bad cable.

No. definitely not normal. Your cable attached to your pc is maybe loose. Or if it's attached to AGP card, The card is not seated properly. Or try reinstalling the viewsonic drivers.

This is such a pain \ni don't know where you are from , but i experienced that yesterday ( here in UK) late evening ,\n\n it was so slow, i gave up and shut down , in the end .\n\n May be a fault in the cable system  \n Or Gremlins tinkering with our reception.\n\nMine  seems OK so far  today', thank goodness !!\n\n not sure what the cause is ,\n but it is so frustrating ,when that happens.\n\n Hope you will be back to *normal * very soon \n\n>^,,^<

u lucky....it's a scsi standard. better than normal scsi, sometimes referred as ultra-scsi, has less limitations of cable lenght and higher input/output speeds.\n\nlvd (low voltage differential)

This all depends on your location and cable provider. I suggest contacting your cable provider for information on this issue.

If you are worried about a power surge in the cable, run it through a surge protector that has coax connectors.
