Hmmm, I'm wondering why Netios over tcpip is disabled in your second adaptor, still I should think you would be able to get an IP. My personal favorite of little dsl routers is a Linksys with 4port switch built in. They've proven cheap and reliable and easy to configure.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP wouldn't affect this. If you've turned on ICS, it appears that some kind of firewall might be blocking DHCP requests from going out. Either that, or you've not set the client machine to automatically get an IP from the machine doing the routing.

...But I agree with bentkey: Get a hardware router, like a Linksys. It will save you tons of headaches.

Bluegoo06:

We're helping you in this thread, no need to make another thread. Just keep discussion of your problem in here!

/dev/random? This isn't JL mistah! ;)

Whoops. Maybe you should name your off-topic forum /dev/random, so I won't be as confused next time?

Bending to my will always makes things easier. ;)

Thanks so much for the heads up! I've been with Gaim since their earrly days. But I haven't used them in a long while since I got my mac :)

Out of curiosity, what do you run on your Mac?

I ran the AOL version of AIM, but I'm not too fond of that on any platform. Are you running something other than that?

How did get some many invites?

Dunno. They gave them to me. Once I give then out, I get more.

EDIT I'm all out of them right now, but should get more soon. Should anyone else want one, but can't get one from these links, just shoot me an email, and you'll be put in line! :D

Does it even act like it's trying to dial, or anything? I'm just trying to determine whether there's a problem with the software or not-- it could be the reason why it's greyed out is because that's the only fax program you had installed, thus making it the default.

I've pretty much got that PSU, or the 480 watt model of it. I'm pretty happy with it, and it's got plenty of PSU connectors for me-- mine has 6 Molexes, 2 floppy connectors, and 2 SATA connectors. Also, the blue LEDs in mine look kinda cool.

Personally, I'd just buy that one, and get some PSU splitters. I found some at CompUSSR for $2 US a piece.

More than likely, you will be unable to restore. This could be because of corrupted restore files, an unremovable update, or like mikeandike22 suggested, maybe the System Restore components are fubared. Try his suggestion, but consider this as well:

If you can't restore from any point, you probably won't be able to do it at all. If that's the case, you need to delete all of your restore points by disabling System Restore, re-enable System restore, and then be able to do it from there. To disable/enable System Restore, just right click on My Computer, and the options are under the System Restore tab.

What type of computer is this? Is it an Intel chip and chipset?

I've seen this be caused by software in two occasions: 1, with Intel Application Accelerator. Uninstall it, and see what happens if you have it. And, 2, with spyware. If you suspect number 2, consult some of the threads in the Security forum.

Guru techie is the "rank" you keep after a certain number of posts. That is actually a "title", that can be changed by you, for instance, mine being "Cookie Moderator"-- I have to add in the Moderator part, but I added in the "Cookie" part. You can change this in the User CP, just like you can change your avatar. So, technically, the "rank" is whatever you've decided to title yourself.

As far as being a colleague, you have to either advertise on the site, or the "honorary" title is bestowed upon you arbitrarily, I think. Really, though, it doesn't afford you that much-- you get access to a special forum, where you can discuss things with other colleagues, the Mods, and Dani.

I just don't want you thinking there's some type of hierarchy we're trying to maintain here. Just feel welcome here, ask and answer questions, and be happy! :D

We here at Daniweb do not do your homework assignments for you. If you require our assistance, please post some code of your own, and we'll help you work through your problem.

Thanks for your understanding on this matter.

thanks....also what about a logbook i.e a calendar and at the same time they is some entries e.g a candy shop sales for each month for a particular year.

If you're doing a homework assignment, please post some code of your own, and we'll help you debug it. It's not our job in the forums here to do your homework for you.

sorry, drop the developpment, im porting it to C

That's still cool-- post it in the C Forum!

You've got our attention now-- why not start a new thread in the C forum, and tell us what the program's all about?

That could be a lot of things, really.

Does your mail host have a Fully qualified domain name? (FQDN) That's one thing that you're going to need, as mail will not be routed if you don't have that.

Give us more information about your situation, and we might be able to do something for you. I might even break out O'Reilly's Sendmail Reference, and see what I can remember.

...Warez are bad, mmmkay?

jia_huichen I'm having just a bit of trouble reading that!

In here me must with green jade Mr. the schoolmate say thanks! She makes a network for our fine arts academic society cartoon group to learn the member for us to exchange. Hoped all members all can treasure, this very rare opportunity. Members' have any speech to be allowed to let everybody share together, already all did not welcome you in this group's members also often the message! Some three cartoonists all have our this group the network, please you do not act unreasonably, ask the members to cooperate. Has the question to be allowed to consult, we are rare can exchange together with them. Wishes all cartoonists in this me and instructs teacher the health, the life to be happy. Wishes the members health life happy test to be smooth

In 2004 the first half year (vice-) peace and happiness also is the second half year () peace and happiness

What that has to do with the question is as good a guess as anyones...

Are you using any expansion packs with it? Plain Sims is incompatible with XP.

I remember seeing something about this. Have you tried to download any updates for it?

IIRC, they fixed this issue with the Sims Double Deluxe Pack they released some time ago. With that, you could play the Sims sans any expansion packs.

Which Windows version?

Sounds like it might be a permissions problem [although the error message doesn't suggest that]. Win2000 and probably XP can be setup so that only an Administrator can install programs. This would be a typical setting for a school, library or other public computing place where you don't want just anybody able to install or mess with system settings.

Definitely on point with this post, Mike.

What messages do you get when you try to install something?

Smells like spam to me...

Welcome to the Windows Software Forum!

So we can better help you, we need a bit of information. When posting your question here in the Windows Software Forum, please include these items:

• What version of Windows you're running (NT,2000, XP, 98, 95, ME)
• If known, what version of the application you're running.

Providing those two pieces of information can go a long way in aiding other members when helping field your Windows Software questions.

Have fun, and happy posting!

What OS are you running? When you pull down the drop-down box, what other options are there?

Could it be possible that Microsoft Fax is the default option?

I'd check to see if Mplayer can do it. Being open source, I'd imagine it might be able to parse that file, given the right codec.

Probably not wise since bridge.dll is a virus.

Well, not technically a virus, but it's close enough that if I spit on a virus, I wouldn't care too much if I hit bridge.dll.

For more information about bridge.dll, check out the link in my sig. it should tell you a way to get rid of that particular message.

Don't use it-- it's garbage.

I know it's free, but it installs spyware on your system. As soon as I installed it, I got a major popup outbreak. If you really need a burning program, try to download a demo of Nero or something, or if you have XP, use its native burning tools. Heck, I'd even shell out some money for a real burning program.

I know this isn't the answer you might be looking for, but it's probably better that you don't even fool with that piece of junk.

Dude, when you're comparing Processor temps, you may as well be comparing a Pentium Pro to a P4 instead of that P3.

I don't have any specifics, but the P4 Prescott is a HOT chip. 58 degrees C (138 C) for an AMD chip would be a little hot, but I'd not expect it out of the question for that chip. You could check Intel's website (www.intel.com) for temperature specs, too.

But, if you wanted a good heatsink, my favorite maker is Swiftech. Their MCX-478 is probably one of the better P4 heatsinks out there, as you can mount an 80 or 92mm fan directly on the heatsink.

Well, I searched for "Beach Wallpapers" on google and downloaded a wallpaper installer. I didn't notice it warned me of stuff included. I got so many nasties that I had to reformat my computer. There were so many programs running in the background that my typing was choppy. It was pretty frusterating, because I had just finished reformatting 2 HOURS AGO!!

Search for Beach Wallpapers on Google. I'd link you to the site directly, but I don't wanna get that stuff again...

This would be VERY helpful if you could do this, though. Could you open it with FireFox, and try it? If you'd like, you could PM it to me, or send me the link to my email, which I could provide on demand.

Sorry for the long response-- I've been swamped with other stuff!

Or, try a different mouse. I've seen some funky things go on with mice. What kind of mouse do you have? If it's wireless, maybe someone near you has one, too.

After doing this, how did your system turn out? Still getting page cannot be displayed?

Try this for me. Click Start, then Run, and type in CMD, and click OK. Once that Command Prompt comes up, type ipconfig /renew *, and hit <enter>. Let me know if it says anything about "the operation was attempted on something that was not a socket", or something similar. If so, I have a fix for you. If you have to, PM me, so I'll remember what I was talking about.

Can anyone tell me where to find shell script tutorial

What type of language are you looking to learn? Heck, what OS are you looking to script?

There are so many different languages and possibilities, "shell scripting" becomes a pretty vague term. Let us know what you're wanting to accomplish, and we might be able to recommend something for you.

What exactly are you looking to do?

Hi guys

is it possible to have an invite for Gmail?

my address is: davenet@rediffmail.com

Thank you so much

Dave

Dave,

If you can't get any of the invites to work, shoot me an email at alc6379@gmail.com. I usually have 5-6 that I can give out. Same goes for everyone else-- I don't have anyone to give these things out to! :D

When you're updating, you first run apt-get update, and then you run apt-get dist-upgrade to update your system. Running the update only tells the apt tools what packages are available, while the dist-upgrade part upgrades the system and the packages using those most updated packages the system now knows about.

I thought that Yellowdog had yum, which worked like apt? All the well, I guess-- whatever works for you.

Also, like kc0arf said, tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz will do it for you, and the two step method works as well. There are tons of ways you could do it, there's even

gzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

if you wanted to give your fingers a workout ;)

Um...

You already asked this exact question before, and I posted the answer to it already. Please don't double-post. Here is the old post:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread11297.html

But, for the record, you wouldn't want to use the -a option for fsck in this instance. What this error message tells you is that whatever problem it found needs to be dealt with manually, and not by issuing the -a option when you're in the Single User mode.

Now closing this thread. Let's try and keep discussion in the older, already existing, thread.

Should be good with those specs for whatever version of Linux you wanted to run.

What distribution of Linux are you looking to run? There are different distributions of Linux, like Mandrake, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo... the list goes on. Each distribution has a "latest version", so you'd need to pick a distro, and we could tell you what the latest version of that distribution is.

Went ahead and merged the two threads together. Let's try and keep the same discussion in one thread. :)

What are you interested in? What do you find yourself liking most about Computer Science? Pick something you have a bit of knowledge about coming into it, and write about that.

Or... alternatively, take a topic you know very little about, focus on that, and then write your thesis based on that topic. That way, you'll come out ahead both ways-- you'll have a wider knowledge base on a topic, and you could end up with a good grade.

Have you thought of anything yet yourself? What does interest you about Computer Science? Let us know what you've thought of, and we'll help you pick something out, or maybe advise so you can decide on your own.

Your other thread has been moved to the Mac forum. As a result, please respond to the post there. I'm closing this thread now.

More than likely, your router is "closing" every port from the outside, so to speak. The router is doing what's called NAT (Network Address Translation), which makes every request from the machines behind the router look like they're coming from the router itself.

What are you trying to do, exactly? You might be able to use port forwarding to send requests to a specific TCP port (or a range of ports) to your box.

How would I go about doing that?

Sorry for the long reply on this-- I forgot which forum this post was in!

It really depends. You'll need to check the documentation on your router for directions. It usually just involves getting into the router's configuration, (your manual should have instructions for that), finding a port forwarding section, and just telling the router to send requests to the router's port 80 to port 80 of your IP address. Like I said, if your router can't do this, it might have a DMZ option, even.

Go ahead and do what it says to do: Enter in your root password. That will drop you to single-user mode, and then you can run fsck on /data manually by typing fsck /data . When you do that, just say Y or whatever option allows you to fix it. If the drive itself isn't damaged, that should take care of things for you.

BLECH! I'm not normally one to suggest this, but you might just want to go ahead and go for the jugular: consider backing up your data, reformatting your drive, and reinstalling Windows. Even after doing all of DMR's suggestions, you still might not end up with a "clean" system.

What are you doing with that machine, anyways?

You might want to ask that last question in the Hardware forum. Do you have a DOS boot disk that you can boot from, and perhaps test from there?

Thank you for clarifying that before I started to make a fool of myself by reffering to RISC and CISC in my presentation. Your info was very helpful!
(btw, my presentation went well, and I was complimented by my instructor :-))
-Soral 3.0

Awesome!

Since I kind of work "in the industry", I got to see a presentation on the whole deal. I wish they'd've made the numbers indicate relative performance across all lines, but go figure.

For more information, check out http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number .

I'm kind of in agreement with Catweazle here. Could your current system take a Pentium 4 3.4ghz chip, or something similar? I'm checking Pricewatch, and they're selling OEM versions of that chip for about $280US. If you bump up the memory on your current system, and upgrade the processor, then you'll be sitting pretty, I imagine.

I'm not trying to be a sounding board for Catweazle, but stick with your current setup, and just upgrade pieces of it. I think that from a fiscal and a performance standpoint, you'll be better off for now.

Hey thanks for answering my question about cache alc6379.
But what do you mean RISC and CISC doesn't play a part here?
I always thought that Intel was going for RISC and AMD was basing its CPU tech over CISC....
Of course, I learned that from word-of-mouth so I could be misinformed...
Could you clear me up on that?

-Soral 3.0

Well... here's what it boils down to, as well as I know it.

The reason why RISC and CISC don't come into play here is because it's all CISC. I think that the Itanium processors are RISC, but they're generally not compared in the same leagues as AMD-64s or the Pentium 4 chips. Intel offers both RISC and CISC chips, but in the desktop (not workstation) sectors, they're pushing their 32-bit CISC Pentium 4s and Xeons.

Where it would matter was if you were comparing Apple, Sun, or IBM hardware. Apple's G5 Chips, Sun's SPARC chips, and IBM's POWER chips are all RISC, and it would make a difference when comparing them to your standard x86 architecture. RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer, and CISC stands Complex Instruction Set Computer. Basically, the RISC processor is supposed to have a smaller command set that you can issue it, which is supposed to mean that you do more with less, and speed things up. That's why an 800mhz HyperSPARC processor is "faster" than an 800mhz Pentium 3 processor. (well, only partially why. The HyperSPARC …

Did you read the sticky thread at the top of this forum? For your convenience, it's also in my sig.

I forget the exact terminology for it, but you can do a technique called "slipstreaming" to include service packs, applications, or other items into the standard Windows installation media. Try doing a Google search for that.

Definitely. He's probably got some kind of homepage Hijacker or something to that effect. I second Catweazle's advice.

Check your other post about the webmin part of things.

But, Fedora might come with Nvidia drivers. If it doesn't, you can always download them from Nvidia's website.

Probably does. Personally, though, I'd look into adminstering services manually, as more often than not, webmin won't do everything you need it to.
