    New MB CPU fan running max speed...

    I just replaced a dead AMD AM3 MB for a friend. Everything is working good but the CPU fan is running full speed 4400rpm. Is the problem because the new board has 4pin connecters and the cpu fan is a 3pin? Or is the new MB shot? I have the newest bios.

    IIS

    dont know how your network is setup. But dont use your ext ip address. First try typing in the int. ip address of the iis server. one step at a time. if you still can not connect by 192.168.1.x for example, then get this part working first before you try connecting from the outside word.
