a couple of additional suggestions...... 1. Make sure your windows installation is as up-to-date as it can get 2. Download the latest Microsoft "Malicious Software Removal Tool" and run 3. Of course there is a plethora of other anti-malware software you can run one after the other to try to make your system clean and you may need to go through a few One thing I always try to do (if possible) is to remove
I've spent a lot of time arguing with ISP's over the years even called an ISP in the UK to help someone else out who was getting stonewalled by them so I know the ways they try to convince you that you're full of shit and don't know what you're talking about. If the pingtest file isn't enough for them.........let me know, there are a couple of other things I can talk you through which can help tip the odds in your favour even more. :) the Monk
Thundercles, If you want a little more ammo for yourself when you do battle with your ISP do the following: 1. START >> RUN >> CMD 2. type "ping google.com -t > pingtest.txt" (that will start pinging google.com indefinitely until you hit Ctrl-C to break the command and it pipes the output to a text file called pingtest.txt so you have "evidence") 3. Let that run for a few hours and then
who needs seattle anyway? vancouver kicks it's ass ten ways to sunday on it's worst day....... :P
Here's the thing. If you just want to play a game between the both of you (without other people) then just do the following: 1. Find out the IP address of the system you want to connect to (START >> RUN >> IPCONFIG) 2. Click "Multiplayer" in SINS instead of IronClad Online and then "Join IP" (using the IP you just found) If you do want to play with others online you'll have to d
[quote] Did I miss the memo that turned this into the hate on anybody who plays a game with friends thread? [/quote] How exactly is that what I said? I said [b]clan[/b]-friendly. [b]Clans[/b] are generally more than friends. For *many* (if not most) [b]clans[/b] it's about being competitive not just playing with friends. nice try at putting words in my mouth though.......

Absolutely.....if you're paying for "broadband service" no matter where you are located the service provider needs to [i]provide[/i] you with said service. You need to bitch, bitch and keep bitching until the service provider comes out, replaces your modem and power supply, re-cables everything from your coax box to the modem and then runs new line-tests to verify that your modem is within [b]reasonable[/b] "noise/signal-loss limits". Obviously I have no experience with Time-W
Well a little more info would be helpful in giving you some suggestions CirroFox. 1. Are both systems connected to each other via a switch only (ie. in the same room on a real physical LAN [u]not[/u] a virtual LAN ala Hamachi etc.) ? 2. Wired or WiFi? 3. What type of security software on each of the machines if any? 4. Firewalls? Without answers to those questions you're most likey not
besides clan-friendly games always get ruined by..........wait for it............clans. Clans belong in WoW, Eve and every run-of-the-mill FPS shooter......not games like Elemental. I've seen enough games get destroyed by the ueber-competitive crowd that "clan-friendly" games tend to attract to last a lifetime. Sure, some of you will argue "but making it clan-friendly will attract a multitude of people".......etc. etc......yes [b]all the wrong people[/

[quote quoting="post"] I've read many places on these forums that it's all about "portforwarding", and that I need to forward port 6112 and possibly 6000, I would be completely fine with this if my internet wasn't supplied by my Dad's job (I haven't got the password or username for my router, and no admin/admin or administrator/administrator doesn't work). Could Changing the port used when hosting make a difference (changing it from the default 6112) Just wanted to ask and mak

I don't want you to get one......hell you wouldn't even know how to use one if it fell into your lap obviously! geeeeeeeeez Monk, now you're just being downright insulting and obnoxious... all because I don't agree with your assessment. Never mind... we're done here. [/quote] &n
mike, I've replied to your PM. I'll keep checking this thread or if you'd prefer to keep it in PM, just message me back. My turn-around is not always same-day though....I do spend time on a few other forums as well but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. thanks, the Monk

I can control every Mac/PC and server in my business from almost anywhere in the world and very rarely now actually need to sit at my desk, but it's only an "over-priced shiny mediocre device"?

[quote who="starkers" reply="50" id="2673620"] sigh.......if you look back over the posts. What you will see is your posts trying to state that the iPad is nothing more than a shiny, over-priced mediocre device. What you will see is my posts proving otherwise.

[quote who="starkers" reply="44" id="2673556"]@ the monk: The iPad might be firmly entrenched in your IT structure, and you might find it as useful as all f**k, but I will never find a use for it... EVER. For 1: it costs far more than I am prepared to pay For 2: I have NO NEED of one For 3: I have other IT priorities. So, no amount of explaining how it makes you feel will alter my position... and frankly, I don't give a rat's arse that yo
[quote who="starkers" reply="33" id="2672942"] You have so much flash to use on a daily basis? So all of your media is flash? All of your pictures are flash, your music and all movies you posses are flash? Besides HTML 5 will make flash/silverlight etc. a moot point! HTML 5 may one day make flash redundant... but as yet, it hasn't. So for now I need an flash capable appliance. [/quote] As pointed out in my previous posts. If I need flash, I can
starkers, I'm thinking you need to actually [i]use[/i] one of these i-devices you disparage before you continue in this vein.....hehe [quote]It doesn't have Flash... therefore it would not suffice as an out of the box media device for me. Secondly, it does NOT multi-task, therefore it would NOT suit my browsing/multi-media wants/needs.

[quote] As I stated above, I will never buy any of Apple's i-gadgets (not when iPads sell from $629 - $1149 AUD... 11% more than US customers), but at some stage I may consider a tablet if the price is right and it isn't a constant cash drain because it's essentially driven by pay for apps, as I believe the i-gadgets are. I'd want something that includes word processing, media, browsing basics., etc... in other words, something that pretty much works right out of
