    Remote access with no-ip

    OK, I set up the vpn connection on my laptop and according to the article that automatically allows traffic on port 1723. After that, I checked with canyouseeme.org and got a successful response for port 1723. Now I just need to figure out how to change that port to 60000. Although it's not...

    Remote access with no-ip

    I do know that I won't be able to access my network from home. I have tried it at school and have still been unsucessful. I am going to try it from my church on the way home today to make sure the school isn't somehow preventing my access. However, the site canyouseeme.org should work alright...

    Remote access with no-ip

    I thought of that even though I don't have the vista firewall turned on. I allowed port 60000 in that as well but it didn't change anything. I still get a connection refused message.

    Remote access with no-ip

    I changed the port to 60000 and I still have the same problem. The program -port detective- shows the port as open but canyouseeme.org still says connection timed out. To check the firewall on my laptop, I disabled it and the message changed from connection timed out to connection refused...

    Remote access with no-ip

    Ok, I now have a new problem. I downloaded a program called port detective to try and see if I could find an open port. One of the ports listed was 81 as an alternate http port. I finally, after tinkering with the modem setup got an open response from the program on port 81. However, I...

    Remote access with no-ip

    As I am new to advanced networking, I was wondering if there are certain ports that I should use and others that I should stay away from. I have also tried port 3389 for Remote desktop and www.canyouseeme.org gives me a connection timed out error as well.

    Dell B130 Network Card Issue

    You will need the chipset driver the the ethernet controller/network controller and possibly pci device. the video driver will obviously take care of the other. As suggested, search for the drivers by the service code rather than model number. I too, have never had any problems with getting...

    User Profiles in XP Pro

    I have never worked with organizational units. Where can I learn more about how to configure them? I need a good starting point to begin learning how to do such things. I will probably set it up at home with two computers, (server, client) and try to different things from there. I have just...

    User Profiles in XP Pro

    Well, after some further research, I believe I will need to start a server and put the computer on a domain. Then all users will be authenticated through the server and I should be able to create different users. This will allow me to log on to the local computer with full admin rights...

    In that case, would it be possible to create an account that would point to a profile on another computer that would allow me to have full access? I just want to be able to log on to the computer locally and have full access to everything without having to disable all the settings everytime...

    EA Downloader and DRM

    Well, I got home and was able to install northern strike without installing the downloader. I did have to reinstall the 1.4 patch to be able to play but other than that, no issues. It is good to know that I don't need the downloader and can reinstall from the downloaded files

    EA Downloader and DRM

    Believe me, lesson learned . . . . . the hard way :( I'm all for stopping pc game piracy but they need to stop making it so hard for the people that acquire it legitimately. Whether we "support it" or not, I don't think we are going to stop the transition. It is cheaper for companies to...

    EA Downloader and DRM

    Well since many of you recommend php as a good place to start I think I will try that. I have heard that language tossed around as good for beginners elsewhere too. The other popular languages seem to be between java and visual basic. What is the difference between them and what applications...

    I appreciate all the replies. It is interesting to see what everyone's preferences are. I guess my biggest fear is that I will learn a language only to find out that it won't work with a project I decide to undertake. Is that ever an issue you have had?

    I am interested in beginning to learn how to program but I don't know where to begin. I plan on being entirely self taught. The problem is I don't know where to begin. There are so many different programming languages out there that I don't know where to begin. I know the first question you...

    Special characters in Word

    I am currently taking a financial class and using my computer to take notes. The problem is that there are special characters we use that are not in word. ^ K for example is used often and I can't figure out how to get the caret character above the k without creating a blank line and then...

    XBOX 360 Hard drive Question

    I have a 360 with the small 10GB hard drive and was wondering, since it is only a 2.5 SATA notebook drive, could I buy a bigger one from newegg and drop it in as long as format it in FAT32 or is there some software that has to be on the drive for it to work properly?

    I have been disabling some services trying to get my startup and hibernation times shorter but the only thing I seemed to have done is make my startup longer. I just created a bootlog file and there are tons of drivers that didn't load. It seems that the system keeps trying to load the drivers...

    Overclocking Graphics card or PCI-e

    now that you mention it, I guess that would make sense. do you have any cooling suggestions for the card. I really don't want to spend the money on an aftermarket cooler because they don't seem to do that much good unless you go with a water cooling solution. What is a good temp range to...

    Overclocking Graphics card or PCI-e

    Which will give me better results: Overclocking the graphics card core and memory or the pci-e frequency. The graphics card already runs hot so I am looking for the option with the best performance with the least amount of heat increase.

    Voltage Descrepancy

    I wasn't going to go over 1.5 in the bios until i realized that the chip isn't even using 1.5 volts. It is only up to 1.47. I think I could get to 3.6 GHz if I could get the chip to use the actual 1.5v. so far, temps are fine. they only get too high if i use tat to stress test. using...
