When I moved to my new apartment a year ago, I had some staff put the cables to my surround speakers in the ceiling.

That looks great, but ever since, I have almost no volume (less than 10% I think) in my rear speakers.
I think it is due to the extension cables that I have that probably have a higher resistance and lose all of the volume (I know a few things about audio but I'm not an impedance and other terms expert).

I plugged in the rear speakers into the frontal speakers output and the volume was still at 10% so it's something in the cables. Since all is worked in to the ceiling, I cannot replace the cables.

I think I have about 10m of audio extensions in between (2x5m) ending in cinch connectors.

What is a VERY cheap amp that I can install next to my surround source so I can get some decent sound to the back end speakers. The speakers are simply Creative Labs mounted to the ceiling but are enough for the few times I put a movie on. My surround system is a Creative Labs DDTS-100 (and the speakers came with it).

I was thinking of something like the old turntable amplifiers. It would be great if I can adjust the output.

Any ideas on what and where to get it? I don't want to spend thousands for the 20 movies I watch a year :-).

What is the iOS (sub)version that came by default on the new iPhone 4 that you received at True, AIS, DTAC?

Please share.

Also, does anyone know if it can already/still be jailbroken?

I have a zyxel broadband router that sits at 192.168.1.1

I have a Linksys WAP54G Access Point that sits at 192.168.1.2 to serve my connection indoors.
I have a Linksys WAP54G Access Point that sits at 192.168.1.3 to serve my connection outdoors.

The indoors one runs the stock firmware.
The outdoors one runs the dd-wrt firmware as it allows me to crank up the power if needed.

My gateway settings are 192.168.1.1 (the router) which also runs DHCP. My PC have fixed IP numbers. Only laptops and phones use dhcp to get a number assigned.

I can ping the outdoors one (x.x.x.3) but not the indoors one (x.x.x.2) when the outdoors one is on.

When I ping 192.168.1.2, I get a reply from 192.168.1.3 (!!!!!!) saying destination unreachable.
In fact, even more bizarre (I'm running a ping -t) I just was able to ping it for 2 seconds, end it is unreachable again.

192.168.1.2 is forwarding the DHCP from my broadband router in the range 192.168.1.100-110 so there is no overlap.

I have absolutely no idea why I cannot even ping it. I even have to log in via my iPhone to that access point and use its IP address that way to be able to get to the settings.

I don't want to flash the indoors WAP54 to dd-wrt as it took me over a day last time and I don't really have that much time left to get back to work.

What can I do and why do pings to .2 get answered from .3?
