Using a class A for a network would be crazing using the default mask (also inefficient due to the size of the broadcast domain). The potential would be for over 16 million devices. This would be a waste of addresses. Therefore when using a class A like 10.0.0.1 it's logical to use a 16 bit, 255.255.0.0 or 24 bit 255.255.255.0 mask. It makes the network more efficient becuase it reduces the size of the broadcast domain. It also stops you running out of IP addresses.

Apple is normally really good at supporting older systems. I have a Mac that is 5 years old running Mavericks. Although I have upgraded the RAM. If you click the Apple icon on the top left and select 'About This Mac' what does it say.

How much Memory does it say you have and what is the processor. If you click More Info it will tell you the model and year your mac was made. The Mac I am typing this on is a Mac Book Air - Mid 2011 and it runs Mavericks really well.

If you are a local plumber then the chances are you are never going to rank on google in the top 10 under the search phrase plumber.

However as a plumber you may specialise in providing walk in showers for the elderly. Walk in showers for elderly people is a niche so therefore keywords would be targeted around that. This would produce better search results then generic search terms.

If you have case studies or images available on the website then name the files that match what you expect people to search for. For example the plumber above may have a case study about a walk in shower installtion therefore the file would be named appropriately.

We are using. . cisco pix 515e can any one tell me which ports i have to set to deny...

thanksin advance

You can't block it just using a PIX 515 Bit Torrent works on any port including port 80 (www traffic). The only way to stop it is with a proxy server.

It all depends what router you have. I would suggest that you setup the following.

Connect your Wireless to the Hotel Wireless System. Plug your PC into a 8 port hub or switch, then plug the phone and any other PC's into hub or switch.

You can then make use of Internet Connection Sharing from within Windows XP. Follow the wizard through and share the Wireless connection with everyone else. You need to make sure that the phone and any additional PCs are set to obtain an IP address via DHCP/Automatically.

Please can you be a bit more specific in your posting. E.g. what software and hardware are you using? which piece of it is giving you trouble etc etc

You have probably created a group policy at a domain livel. You need to undo the changes you have done. Then within Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) right click and select New OU. Give it a name e.g. Domain Users.

Then create your group policy on this OU and drag the users from Users the new OU using ADUC.

The policy will then only apply to those users.

It sounds like you haven't configured IIS properly. Under the default website is it set to listen on all IP addresses.

You can run bit torrent on any port that you like. I even think that like MSN messenger it will default to port 80 to download stuff if it can't access the internet on any port. This means that it is not an application that can be stopped by denying certain ports you need something that is more intelligent.

If you are going to use a Firebox (Watchguard Firewall) I know they do a UTM version which should be able to block BitTorrent stuff. Check their documentation.

If not then you will need to invest in some kind of web proxy solution that can identify BitTorrent packets and not just block on a port by port basis.

Well the good news is I kept posting and have about six regular posters now. So persistence does pay off, lets hope it continues.

Competitions are good as long as it's applicable to your site. Don't give away a free football if your site is about pets. Maybe a free hamster would be more appropriate :-)

Niche forums tend to be better. I am a very experienced Coldfusion Developer and I chip in on this site a bit, but if I want my questions answered I go to a dedicated Coldfusion forum. I like the Marketing and Promotions section on this site. I haven't come across too many of them.

i have waited months and paid heaps of advertising and only have 16 members :(

Please don't be offended I am trying to be constructive. I took a look at your site. Your choice of topics isn't great, go for more general stuff. Secondly you need to change your writing style, I looked at your World Cup thread because it caught my eye (I like football). It didn't come across very welcoming or friendly and if it goes off topic don't worry. At the moment any post is good.

spam is not the way forward. you will get yourself blacklisted.

I would echo that, one sure fire way to kill a community over night is to go paid if people don't think it is worth while. Ask yourself how many paid sites are you a member of?

I think paid will more and more become the norm, it takes a lot of effort and time to run a decent website and the paid ones I am a member of tend to be better quality. Test the market and offer a no ad site for paid members. Then see how things go.

How many visitors should a new site get? It's an impossible question to answer. It depends on how much effort you have put into marketing your site.

When I launched my site I got over 1200 visitors in the first month and just under 500 signed up on my mailing list / forum. I have used a regular newsletter to inform members of new stuff that is happening on the site, hence I get a lot of return traffic. I also researched my market, I have had lots of ideas for different websites over the years but when I have researched them I found out that hundereds existed already. I am only aware of one competing website so potentialy I have a massive captive audience. It may be that you have a lot of competition.

I read through some of the stuff on your site and you seem to be offering people advise on how to make money from their site and how to promote it. I don't mean to be nasty but if you are writing a website about marketing a site then surely you should know how to do this?

Lastly your site just seems to be aimed at making you lots of money through affiliate marketing, this is obvious from the amount of links, banners and other affliate schemes you have signed up to. You are hiding under the banner of showing others how to make money when really it just seems to be …

Can I suggest you post your site in the reviews section of the forum. This can be found here:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum55.html

It's good to get feedback from others.

I would also analyse why other campaigns failed before spending another dime. A good place to start would be your server logs. See what pages were popular and what pages weren't.

Sounds like the windows has updated a driver and hence screwed your machine. Here is a link on Microsoft to do a system restore to the last know good state:

I would personally back everything up before following this.

Hi All

I launched my site just over 1 month ago, so far I have had over 400 members sign up and it's growing between 5 and 10 members a day. The site does other things other than have a forum but it's the forum I want to develop.

I have hardly any posts a handful of members have posted and I always reply and constantly check to make sure no posts go unanswered. Can anyone else offer any suggestions on how to encourage more postings?

I have looked into paid postings but that doesn't really appeal, I'd rather grow a genuine community. Anyhow it's quite a specialist site so I doubt I would get useful postings.

Can anyone share their experiences on how long it took to get regular postings? Am I being too impatient? What ratio of members to posters can I expect?

Thanks

You can load different Flash movies from a database using PHP, ASP or Coldfusion.

You ask:

"3. How can I effectively project advertising sales into my business plan (even if it is a rough estimate)."

In short you can't as most people will tell you advertising sales can be very hit and miss. If your site is relying on advertising revenue then personally I wouldn't bother.

If you are looking at your own ecommerce site then this is very different. How well your site does depends on how well you advertise and how good your product is.

Check out this article here

I would suggest using Flash, you can then dynamically load the flash file onto the page using Coldfusion, ASP or PHP.

You may need to send a plain one for Gmail so if would go

You will probably find that it is just that one adapter that has a fault or a bad batch, if there was a design fault then they wouldn't be allowed to keep making them.

I would buy a new adapter from a known manufacturer and you should be fie.

There are no newer drivers on the manufactorer's webpage. But it is definitely the adaptor or the driver that causes the problem. Without the adaptor the PC does not freeze, with the adaptor connected it may last a few hours but might as well freeze after only minutes. So I guess I'll have to buy a new adaptor but how can I be sure to really buy another one. I suppose that somewhere there is a factory that builds the electronics for one kind of adaptor and puts various plastic shells around them and they get sold under all kinds of brand names. What are my chances of simply buying the same adaptor over and over again?

Try using CGI.SCRIPT_NAME which should return the full url for the script you are running.

No you don't need to do anything with the server. Coldfusion is fully compatable with SQL2000.

Hi All,

My company is use Coldfusion 4.0 & SQL 7.0, but now want to change to use SQL 2000. If I change SQL 2000, is it have any problem or did I need to do something in program or server.

Many Thanks.

I am currently writing my own forum for my site as there seems to be a severe lack of decent Coldfusion Forums out there and I don't have the money to spend of FuseTalk.

I was wondering if anyone had a way I could display who is currently online (user names) and total number of users currently browsing. I thought of entering the information into the db however this never expires especially if they just close their browser rather than logoff.

Can anyone think of another way to do this?

Thanks

I have done it before and cant quite remember but this should set you off:

net user domain\user /add localhost\administrator

You can run it as a logon script but the script must have admin rights therefore you will need to logon to each machine to use it or use a Group Policy. You can use the variable %username% for the logged on user.

Hop this helps.

You need to read about something call NAT and within your router you will have settings related to NAT. It will allow you to configure your router to forward ports from the outside (internet) to the inside (where you pc is).

In the settings page it will ask you for a port number and which PC you want that port to forward to e.g. port 80 is for web pages. The ip address is not your static one from your ISP but local ip address. You can get this by clicking start > Run then type cmd, then type ipconfig this will give you the ipaddress of your machine e.g. 192.168.1.100.

To test that this has worked you will need to try and connect using a different internet connection. It will not work using your own connection.

I hope this helps.

Hi

It sounds to be like a problem with the Wireless Adapter most likely the driver. Have you checked for either a new driver from the manufacturers website or tried a different Wireless Adapter?
