    Router wipes host header info when port forwarding

    RebateMonoger, no Comcast isn't that annoying. I've been running a webserver for years at home - just that I now have a need to put a second one up. Changing that one port number in IIS did the trick. I was so close, yet so far away... frequently seems to be the way it goes with these...

    Router wipes host header info when port forwarding

    Thanks for the responses. On my router, I am only forwarding port 80 from the WAN to my one web server (the Windows Home Server box). So all HTTP requests coming in are going to be my web server just fine. On the web server I defined my two websites with their respective host header...

    Router wipes host header info when port forwarding

    Goal: Run two websites on my home network, behind my router, that each have their own domain name using my one IP address from Comcast without having to type port numbers in for the URL. Setup: I'm running IIS6 on a Windows Home Server behind my D-LINK DI-624 router. I have the router...

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    I haven't thoroughly researched CPUs and mobos since I last built a system for a friend over a year ago. I know Nehalem is on the horizon, with a major revamp of the architecture. Here's a new thought... Pick up a 4850, only $160 for the Asus model on newegg right now. Then wait until...

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    Alright, you've sold me on the system upgrade. I know the Core 2's smoke the previous generation of AMD/Intels. The hardest part is going to be getting this proposal past the Mrs, rofl. I should be able to get a reasonable Core 2 mobo/cpu/ram combination for about the same price though...

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    Yeah, I'm retarded... it's DDR not DDR2. My bad. The 4870 may be overkill. I do game and sometimes indulge in some graphic intensive FPS, but that is not my usual gaming. My gaming bread and butter is WoW and RTS. Perhaps I should just opt for the 4850 and plan a system rebuild in about...

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    Yeah, my RAM is DDR2 but it's DDR2 400 - I could use it in a newer system with faster DDR support but if I'm upgrading the CPU/mobo I'd want to get new RAM too. At any rate, I'm not rebuilding, so it's a moot point.

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    Thanks for the responses so far. The PSU I have is the Antec Neo Power 500W. It's got 3 12V rails rated for 1A - 17A. Obviously after a big GPU upgrade like this the rest of my system will be behind, but I'd rather not upgrade the CPU/mobo at this point because I'm not sure I need it...

    Question about ATI 4870 GPU purchase

    I don't often post here, actually I think I only post on these boards when I need advice of those more knowledgeable than myself on hardware. I follow hardware updates fairly well and research more in depth when I plan to purchase something but I'm not a hobbyist. I built my current PC...

    Help with system crash

    A few days ago I began having system crashes. My machine will power up and run for a while but then will freeze up and/or crash. The screen goes to black the sound either cuts out or distorts and continues on in a distorted fashion. Sometimes it will power-cycle by itself to come back on...
