    Every port is blocked at work

    I have a problem where I want to RDP to my windows box at home from my work computer. I can get it to work fine using Hamachi, except that Hamachi keeps disconnecting/reconnecting every 30 minutes or so. I want to use ssh, but I'm stuck for a few reasons. I can configure putty to use my...

    Home Network Planning!

    awesome story... thanks for making my day. To be honest, my friend always had an obsession with saying "BOB DOLE!!!", just like "BOB SAGET!!!". Then I was thinking of screennames one day, and I went with bobdole once. It's turned into a cult thing ever since with close friends of mine and me.

    Networking/Windows Server Help (Paid Work)

    I agree with drebo. However, password management policies are quite easy to set in windows server. A quick google could find you that. Hint: check in the Active Directory Security Policy

    Home Network Planning!

    bobdole, first, I must say that I have had a really weird obsession with THE Bob Dole since I've been in college. So it's ironic I'm talking to a bob dole. Anyway, I don't really want to buy a hardware firewall, I just want to make one with a pc like you have in your obfuscated version...

    Home Network Planning!

    Hey all, So I've fallen into a some $$ recently and am about to move into a new house with a few friends of mine at school. I plan on building a new gaming rig and turning my current rig into a firewall/server. Being the way that I am, I want this to be an over-the-top project. So here's...

    Any Recommendations for Amplifiers?

    Any recommendations for dedicaded Hi-Fi amplifiers under $1000? Right now I'm looking at either the Outlaw 7075 or 7125. Admittingly, I'm only driving a pair of Polk RT225i with a Pioneer VSX-D514 at the moment, so either model will do fine, I know. I am currently looking into DIY projects...

    Who should decode the sound??

    Hey all, Let's say I have a ASUS Xonar HDMI sound card hooked up via HDMI to a decent pre/pro, like the Marantz AV8003. Okay, now let's say I'm playing a movie that uses DTS-HD MA, should the sound card or the pre/pro be doing the decoding? What about with much cheaper pre/pros...

    Anyone have a list of audio codecs for motherboards?

    Hey all, I'm trying to find a known list of audio codecs for motherboards. Basically I'm just looking for an SLI capable board with a Realtek ALC885 of ALC889 codec (I want something better than just an ALC888). I don't want a 790i board because I don't have DDR3 RAM. Any help would...

    Windows Telnet

    Hey all, I'm trying to find a built-in Windows utility that will connect directly through a serial COM port to a Cisco switch. The catch: NOT hyperterminal. I know about teraterm and the like, but I just don't feel like loading that on a bunch of programming computers if I can just find out...

    what microcontrollers can I program just for fun?

    I want to do some microcontroller programming just for fun. At the time I don't really have any cool ideas for projects, I was wondering if there are any PICs out there that have only the hardware cost (programming software is free/very cheap). To date, I've programmed Atmel AVR 8-bit PICs...

    severely cooked heat pad

    acetone... dang. I wonder if some HCl would work. Where would I find that though? Maybe some liquid Plumr. The residue I have is also yellow and rock hard. I am glad that it does come off somehow. Any other ideas?

    severely cooked heat pad

    Hey all, I was taking apart my compy to clean it yesterday and when taking off the NB hsf of my DFI nf4 Ultra-d mobo I realized that the original heatpad was still there (I guess I failed to replace it with something better T_T). What's great is the fact that there is now a very stubborn...

    Where is "Computer Configuration"?

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty new at servers, and as I'm looking through the help and support for how to do something, it always directs me to "Computer Configuration/.../... etc". I feel like an idiot for asking, but where is it?? Thanks

    4gigs of ram possible w/ NF4?

    I'll try a few things when I get home Wednesday. I had to run home for a funeral. It's been really busy the last week or so. I'll keep you guys posted. Feel free to continue making suggestions.

    4gigs of ram possible w/ NF4?

    Yes. I've used 1:1 all the way to 1:2, with all options in between. As far as I know that won't work with either sets of RAM, new or old. It also won't work with a new stick and an old stick. One of the things I really wanted to know was if it was even possible to load 4x1GB into this...

    4gigs of ram possible w/ NF4?

    The manual says it will only work in slot 1. Maybe it's slot 2. It doesn't really matter though as it will only boot 1 stick in only one slot and not the other 3. I want to hang on to some hope, as it just cost me 70 bucks. Also, the motherboard says it supports 4x1 dual-sided DIMMs...

    4gigs of ram possible w/ NF4?

    Hey all, I built a rig 3 years ago that included a DFI lanparty ut nf4 ultra-d and 2x1 sticks of OCZ OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K RAM. This week I bought the same sticks of ram, (and ironically, for 1/4 the price I paid 3 years ago) and I can't get all 4 sticks to boot. I get the long repeated memory...

    Care to share your Computer Engineering internship experiences?

    Beware paper mills. Not sure what GP can offer you though. But based on personal experience, you'll either be doing PLC programming (not as exciting as it sounds), process control (reading charts of sheet data, and analyzing bump tests), or IT (like me). I would go with RDECOM personally if...

    Care to share your Computer Engineering internship experiences?

    Go huskies! Geez, I probably know you, or at least could recognize you. I was just up at tech this past weekend to visit my gf. I've decided I actually miss school, mostly because I really don't like my job. I totally agree. I know that's true, because everyone at the mill thinks I'm IT.

    Win2k Stored User Names and Passwords

    No no. I don't need to autologon. I want additional account credentials only. Is this not what the Stored User Names and Passwords box does in XP? Using Stored User Names and Passwords in Windows XP results in exactly what I want it to do. All I need to know now is how to do the same...

    Win2k Stored User Names and Passwords

    Remote access from internet to router-based lan client

    Correct. My work does not block RDP ports because it uses them frequently to connect to process workstations. What I really want though is a way to ping my home computer from work. I just want to know how that would be possible. I understand about using logmein, etc. but I just want to...

    Remote access from internet to router-based lan client

    Remote access from internet to router-based lan client

    Yes, yes, and somewhat. Both machines are XP I'm trying to gain access from my work computer. I do have admin rights on my work computer, but I would rather not have to install anything. Something like UltraVNC would be just fine since you don't need to install VNC viewer.
