Hello,

Most cable providers use the MAC address of the modem (or computer) to allow you to establish connections to their network. That way if you try to connect with out paying or are late paying they can just turn off the access for the devices MAC address. There is also a physical filter installed on the line running to the modem to prevent interference from the TV signals. You would have to get permission to add your cable modem to the Comcast account owners account and Comcast would have to support connecting more than one modem in a household (they probably due but will want an extra charge of some sort).

So to sum it up it will take some doing and it will not work without Comcast being involved and aware that you are adding the modem.

I would suggest that you do what I do and purchase a Gigabyte switch (8 port gig switch around $39.00, cheaper than a modem) and run a Cat5e or Cat6 Cable straight from the current modem to your switch and you will have 1GB links for all your systems. If you need or want wireless access then buy a wireless router without the modem and run the wire to it. You will have your own segregated wireless network and 1G wired connections for your desktops.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I may be going over things you already know, if so I apologise in advance...

NAT stands for Network Address Translation which is the way your router controls the local 192.168.X.X address of your Xbox and broadcasts all of your packets over the internet using the address assigned to your router/modem. Which means that the setting is going to be in your modem/router configuration. With that said, here is a link to a site that discusses the issues and solutions for the issues that you are having and specifically addresses the Xbox:

Hello,

If I remember correctly XP was one of the OS's that Microsoft hard coded to install from Floppy or CD/DVD only but there are ways around it. I ran into issues when trying to add a XP installation to the PXE Boot server I setup for OS installations when working for a Managed Hosting Provider. You will loose all of the data on the primary drive when you go back to XP from 7. What I have found is that you need to backup all of your data, delete that current partitions on the HD and recreate a single NTFS partition for XP to use as C: then try installing again. Here is a link I used to go over figure out how to get some of it working and has a good discussion.

Hello,

The consensus on the minecraft site seems to be that both CentOS or Ubuntu make good servers. So since you are already using CentOS I would stick with an OS you know. CentOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise and Ubuntu is debian based and the packages and applications are distributed in different formants. The link below gives a good comparison between Debian and Red Hat and should als help you make your decision.

Hello,

You can use not equal:

<> or !=
Match rows if the two values are not equal.

select * from mytable where mytable.fieldname <> '02/02/2000'

Hello,

It sounds like the netbook is set to boot from the Network instead of the internal hard drive. There could be a couple of reasons for this but you won't know until you get into the computers BIOS and see. I would go to the Acer support site and try looking for more information based on your actual model number and OS. But just in case I found the following information on their site for the issue on the Aspire Models listed:

This article only applies to: Aspire M3, S3, S5 and S7 series with SSD drive

After an unexpected shutdown on a system with Solid State Drive (SSD), you may see a message No bootable device -- Please restart system. This problem occurs when the table of content of the SSD is corrupted due to the unexpected shutdown. It can be corrected automatically by the SSD using the backup of its table of contents.

SOLUTION

Use the following steps to synchronize the tables of the SSD:

1.  Restart the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press the F2 key, or the DEL key if you have a desktop, to enter the BIOS.
2.  Leave the system running for approximately 15 minutes.
3.  After 15 minutes, arrow over to the Exit menu and then select Exit Saving Changes and press Enter.
    Note: Do not use the power button to exit the CMOS.
4.  Press Enter again to save changes and exit.

If the tables have …

IF you don't like Ubuntu you could try Fedora Core which is based on Red Hat instead of Debian. I run Fedora on my laptop and it works with all my hardware (except the finger print scanner) and had drivers for everything else with no special downloads. I would go with the 32 bit version of fedora 20 and try the live CD. With it you can test run fedora 20 from the CD without installing the software over your current system.

https://getfedora.org/

WHat he is trying to say is the query should be:

$sqlstr = "DELETE FROM image_upload WHERE image_id=".$_GET['image_id'];

Another option is the free downloads available from Microsoft for Access. They are templates for databases and systems created by other users that you can download for free. You just need to make sure you get one compatible with the version of access you are running (i.e. 2003, 2007, 2010, etc.)

Here is a link to templates for Access 2007 databases and the one at the top is for Inventory Control:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/desktop-inventory-TC010206882.aspx

Time does not have a value in the sample table you showed. I would make sure that you are populating the time field. If you are then we need to see that data also. And are you storing the date as part of the time or in a separate field?
If you are just storing the time and not the date then 10PM yesterday will always be later than 9PM today because the day is not considered.
You can also take a look at using TIMESTAMP since values are stored as the number of seconds since the epoch ('1970-01-01 00:00:00' UTC). by using this date you will always know which record were created last.

Hello,

Well this is just a guess mind you but from the error message it sounds like you are selecting a file instead of a folder. It appears that it just wants you to pick a destination folder. Like I said that is from your info on the error message.

Hello,

First the CIDR notation information. I use the following chart which will confirm your beliefs:

http://doc.m0n0.ch/quickstartpc/intro-CIDR.html

About the assigned vs allocated based on everything I have read you can't really depend on the allocated address not being assigned and the documentation has simply not been completed. Again I am going to cop out and provide you a link to a site that will explain how addresses have been assigned.

Hello,

Try Malwarebytes it will ususally remove just about everything. The free version should do the trick. Make sure that you update the virus definitions.

Hello,

Well I know this is the MySQL code to change a users password:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('XXXXXXX') WHERE User='XXXX';

SO your code should look something like:

$query = "UPDATE users SET Password=PASSWORD('$newpw') WHERE User='$username'";

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Only thing I can think of is to pull the power and remove the battery. Press the power button to discharge any power left in system and then try booting again.

Hello,

Here is a site that covers how to install SASS on Ruby in Windows.
http://www.impressivewebs.com/sass-on-windows/

Hello,

One of the first things we need to know is which version of windows are you trying to install it in. You can get the drivers from ASUS but before you can access the Network adapter in the computer you will need to install the drivers for the chipset. Without the chipset drivers the processor cannot communicate with the various chips installed on the mother board. Down load and install the chipset driver from ASUS for your OS and you should be able to see the NIC card.

Hello,

below is a link to a page that shows you how to set the time zone in your PHP script so that php will display local time for each user.

First you need to decide on what platform you are going to deploy your database and second you need to decide which database you would like to specialize in. Most databases use a form of SQL (Software Query Language) to retrieve data so that is a good place to start. But which data base are you going to use? You can pay outrageous amounts for MS SQL Server that has to run on a Windows Server or you can opt for MySQL or PostgreSQL, which are both free, and run on Linux or Windows. Personally I like MySQL (which is now owned by Oracle) and so far it has been able to handle most of the data I deal with (I have a few tables with over 10 million rows in them).

Try this:

select sum(items) from 
(
select 1 as items from xyz where abc=1
union
select 1 as items from x1y1z1 where abc - 1
)

kind of old fashioned but it works

You may also be able to set this inside a windows 7 system by right clicking on the file and going to properties. Click the compatibility tab and at the bottom check the box for "Run this program as Administrator." This way it will always run as an administrator.

Hello,

Ok so if I understand you correctly the drive initially shows up and is readable but after it is running for a bit it starts giving I/O errors. It sounds like as the drive warms up it starts to fail. This is going to sound a little crazy but Freeze the drive in your freezer for at least 24 hours in a sealed ZIP Lock bag. Then when you go to attempt to recover the files system, keep it in a cold area and it may continue to read long enough for you to run chkdsk and pull data off of it.

A second option is to use A USB (2.0 if you have one) housing to mount the drive in instead of connecting it to the conputer directly. It will slow down the I/O from the drive and possible keep it cooler longer (does not always help).

The reason for using the cold is that solder expands when cold and if it is cracked it can break the solder connection as it heats up and shrinks.

Which OS are they install on?

Hello,

What error did you get when the install failed?
Probably could not execute the script. Try this:

. ./install.sh

If not let us know what the error is and we will work from there.

Probably being blocked by the firewall.
Could you be a little more specific on what is happening please. It will help us to give you better guidance.

Have your verified your external IP by going to whatismyipaddress.com from any of your systems and confirming your address. Also be aware that some home ISP's (non-business customers) block port 80 access from the internet. That way you have to buy a business account.

Do you have Java installed on the server. Here is a link on how to get it working.

Your computer is not getting an IP address from the router. It could be DHCP is not running. Manually configure the Local Area Connection for
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Then try connecting to the address again from your browser.

Also just mentioning this because I have made this mistake before. Make sure you are not connected to the WAN port from your computer. You should be connected to one of the LAN ports.

A lot of it depends on the data type for the field you are storing the date ( DATE, TIME, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, or YEAR) in. You need to make the data you are searching against look like the data type.
Try this:

where table.date_field >= starting_date and <= CURDATE();

Or this if the field is a timestamp data type:

where table.datetime_field >= starting_datetime and <= NOW();

And use your fields holding the datring_date and the field in the table to check agianst. Make sure that the data type is

Boot from the XP CD and start the process till you get to a screen that says that it has detected an old copy of Windows and asks if you want to repair, Replace or write over. Use the repair option.

Hello,

Well there are a couple of things you can do. The first thing to consider is does the modem already have a configuration that is causing issues or is this a new modem? If this is not the first time the modem has been used then it could have been set for a different network. You can reset most modems back to the default configuration by pressing and holding the modem's reset button while connecting the power and hold the button in for 30 seconds. It could already have been set to act as a access point instead of a router and would not have DHCP running and could be at another address (the active router would be at 192.168.1.1 and the access point would be another address).

If it has been reset or is new it could be setup for a different subnet or could have other problems so go back to the basics and check everything.

Do you have a link light on both the router and computer (if not replace the cable).

With them connected see if you are getting an address from the router. Go to a dos prompt and type in:
ipconfig /all
If you get a 192.168.X.X address then the router is configured for DHCP and on the subnet indicated by the first X and your router will be at the address listed forthe gateway. Try that address in your browser.

If resetting it to factory or the other steps do not …

Hello,

I ran into this before storing some math equation information. Here is the site that showed me how to resolve the problem.

http://kunststube.net/frontback/

I think what you have is a conflict between the sound card and the pen drive connection (probably USB port). Try going into the CMOS setup option for Plug and Play OS and see if it resets the Interrupts. Warning some of your drivers may have to reload when you do this.

Here is a page that covers it pretty good:

Hello,

A VPN connection effectively connects you to the local area network so port forwarding is not necessary because you are already inside the routers firewall and part of the LAN.

Makes sense. I was wondering what rpm was doing on a Windows system. It is normally part of the Linux OS and is used for installing packages.

Hello,

Your going to have to find out where the rpm (or rpm.exe) file is installed on your system and either use the full path or add the path to the location to the PATH variable in your system for your user.

Hello,

I see a couple of things:
You dont have an entry for who the mail is going to just who it is from:

$mail->From = $_SESSION['Email'];

And you are not authenticating with the mail server properly when trying to send. You have to have a legitimate user and password to send mail from most mail servers now a days and the entries in your script are commented out. You can't just send mail as if you were the person you want to receive it. Unless your a spammer and your IP will get blocked by the mail spam lists pretty quick then.
Also your mail server is named "2" which is odd unless you have that host predefined somewhere in your suystem.

Hello,

How about you can connect to the systems console from anywhere with access to the KVM. There are some things that can only be done from the console (i.e. BIOS settings changes, access RAID BIOS setup, etc.).

Hello,

OK based on what you posted your DHCP server is only assigning addresses from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.33 which still puts 192.168.1.4 as an address it could give to a cell phone using WiFi or any other computer that connects. I suggest moving the system with the static address to something outside that range (192.168.1.40 would be easy to remember and change). Then adjust your settings accordingly in the router. On the page listing port forwarding addresses you would need to change it to match and normally there are settings for http, ftp, etc that will auto configure the ports and protocols for you.

But before you start trying to connect externally you need to make sure that you can reach the web site locally (inside your own LAN or local area network). Try connecting to the web site from the PC at 1.3 and also make sure that you can ping the address from that system. If you can ping it ok try the telnet connection I suggested earlier and see if you get a web page back.

Hello,

If you use a static IP in the range that your router is using for DHCP then you can create conflicts if DHCP assigns that address. Normally DHCP is set up for 254 addresses (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.255) but some of the newer routers only assign 100. I suggest either moving your PC to a much higher number instead of 192.168.1.4 (like 192.168.1.50) so there will be no issues. Either that or like I said before set the starting number for DHCP to a higher value.

One other question what do you have set for the netmask and gateway for the static IP address in properties under local area connection? It should be something like this:

IP 192.168.1.4
NM 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.1

Hope this helps

Hello,

I was not sure if you were asking for help installing Ubuntu or adding software to Ubuntu. If you could clarify it would help. If your problem is when installing Ubuntu then their web site has some great instructions and installation notes. If you arew anting to add software to Ubuntu then the easiest way is through the software installer built into the OS.

Hello,

The best advice I can give is to go back to the basics.
- Run ipconfig again and make usre you still have the same IP.
- If you are on a router that is running DHCP and assigning addresses it may have given the 192.168.1.4 address to something else. If you are going to set a static IP then either set your DHCP service in the router to start at an address above the static ones you want to use (i.e. starting at 192.168.1.10 instead of 192.168.1.2)
- Check WAMP and make sure it has started since you last checked.
- Ping the IP from a command prompt (on the server and on a different system) and see if you get a response.
- Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features and click Turn WIndows Features on or off on the upper left. When the dialog box comes up (takes a while some times) scroll down and find Telnet Client and check it to install the client. Once it is installed you can go to a command prompt and attempt to telnet directly to the port and the apache server should respond:

telnet 192.168.1.4 80

Hope this help and Let us know how it goes.

Hello,

If your not up to the router changes you could use one of the utilities like Team Viewer, Go to my PC or Logmein and set up a remote connection. Personally I like team viewer since it has file transfer in the free version.

Hello,

Well the first question is what are the errors you are seeing??

Secondly since you say this is a Windows based server you can use Task Scheduler to do the copying for you after hours. That way you can avoid the users being in the files when you are trying to copy them.

HEllo,

It is very easy. Google bash scripts and look into CRON which is the linux scheduler application. Scripts are just files with a series of linux commands in them. Remember to fully path any commands that you are trying to run in the script since cron does not have any user variables set for scripts unless you define them in your script (i.e. it does not know what your home directory is when it runs from cron the way it does when you run it from the command line.).

If you need a manual the O'Reily manual on shell scripting is quite good and also covers using scripts through cron.
http://www.oreilly.com/

Ok two quick questions:
1. Can you ping IP addresses on the internet (i.e. ping 4.2.2.2)?

1. If you can ping addresses on the internet can you do nslookups to a specific DNS server (i.e. nslookup google.com 4.2.2.2)

Buy the way 4.2.2.2 is a public DNS server run by Level 3.

Hello,

Hericles is probably correct but if your mail is getting through to everyone else you send to, then it could be that they tightened their email servers security, or your mail server does not have a good route to theirs. He is also right that you should verify that there is nothing blocking your server like blacklists or email relay. I would do two things. First go a site like MXtoolbox:

http://mxtoolbox.com/diagnostic.aspx

and enter your domain to see if there are any issues with your server. It will check all blacklists and run some tests against your mail server then give you a report and make suggestions on how to correct issues it finds.

It may be that your email server can't get tohas them blocked or is unreachable for some reason. Run these commands from your exchange server as an administrator.

Find out what their MX (mail Exchange) records are set to:

dig -t MX <their domain name>

Like mine comes back with the following:

[root@lptp2 ~]# dig -t MX txlinux.com

JorgeM,

It might need a internal static route but to be honest I did not think so. I am going to build a virtual network with GNS3 and check with a couple of the network guru's when at work tonight. You may have a point that it does not normally accept traffic for that subnet unless it is a reply to a packet the router submitted. Logically though if the packet makes it through the gateway of the WAN port on the E1200 then it would now be in the native subnet and should travel on to its destination. Getting back was the tricky part as far as I could see.

To me the big piece is are any IP's duplicated on the two 192.168.1.X networks and are they segregated already (like .1 to .128 on one and .129 to .255 on the other) so we can just give a smaller netmask (255.255.255.128) and crosslink the routers.

Man that sounds good and like I know what I am talking about doesn't it. LOL
