Like the others have said, 40 feet will not be a problem at all. Personally I keep my router and modem together. I ran one cat5e across the house and plopped a switch on the other end. That way I can keep the router in a centralized location for WiFi, ports in the living room, etc... If you...

^ Oh I totally agree. An 8 MB image is not acceptable in many cases. I was thinking more along the lines of compressing a .jpg until it's to the point of terrible quality.

Could also be somebody port scanning a range of IPs looking for stuff that got opened by viruses and malware. This is common as well, and your router's firewall is doing its job

I think these are false positives. Judging by those port numbers it's probably bittorrent/p2p. I tracerouted a couple IPs and they're coming from shaw cable, home ISPs, etc. Are you noticing issues with your internet connection? If that's logging every connection in the "DoS attack", that's not...

You could just download a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor and then fix whatever is wrong in the HTML document. However, these editors often don't comply to web standards... but for an ebay site, it's not going to matter much. Your other option is to write the code, which is a way more...

Use a 3rd party tool, e.g. gparted to re-size the partitions. For the OP - At the very least, I think you should have at least 12-15 GB left over for windows 7. These days, I would argue that still might not be enough.

Hmm... while it could be the router settings as j-sta said, it could also be PC / software related. I would be inclined to say that if you haven't changed anything on your router or haven't switched equipment, things should be ok in that department... Around the time that this started...

I think the above two posts are rock solid advice. Mine would be - don't be afraid to start at the bottom. Experience is very important and working at a helpdesk, first line support, etc gives you a great foundation for how an organization works. A year of (sort of related) work towards your...

Wake on USB has caused this issue for me in the past when I had removable drives plugged into the machine. ^ And yes, some motherboards do have an auto power on feature in the BIOS, so that would be something to check as well.

Thanks for repeating what was already said 5 times.

Mine jumped to the top of the screen. I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, or if they set it so you're temporarily unlocked while you have an icon right-clicked. I'm guessing the former because once it's at the top, you can't shift it back down using the same method... weird.

No, it's not really basic networking. Find me a networking introduction book that tells you that it's ok to ping the broadcast address - that's a debatable diagnostic test at best. There are other things going on behind the theory that can and often do cause this not to work.

Yeah, also to add to that, when you're looking at the default programs in the internet options - make sure windows mail is set for "MAILTO" and "Send Mail". There are some other handlers for Outlook, but those shouldn't matter in this instance.

How big is your drive (obviously not 2 million terabytes). Maybe just a decimal issue? edit: Nvm I can't read

Oh yeah, I agree that it's a total pain in the butt to do it manually. Every automatic tagging programs source has a different opinion on what something should be called; names can vary from album to album and whatnot. They get the job done, albeit poorly in some cases.

As long as you can't do that from another interface on another subnet in your network, it's probably not a big deal

Well, just like the former situation, everything would reject it most likely. Plus those machines know what the correct mask is

Huh? Windows won't let you do that unless you purposely screw up your subnet mask... not sure about linux, and I don't see how this is any different from pinging the broadcast address with a valid IP. The network probably went "down" because the machine had no idea how the hell to communicate

The device is sending the packet back. It looks at the source address. Again, this is probably disabled on pretty much everything around these days. To be specific (after looking): Windows boxes probably discard those types of pings coming from broadcast addresses according to MSDN. Devices...

Broadcast ping should be turned off on network devices. Reason = Smurf attacks. It might be disabled by default depending on your router. I completely forgot you could do this because it -shouldn't- work on the majority of equipment

That's way more than firefox would ever need to use. Is this type of behavior happening only in that application, or is the machine sluggish in other applications as well? Before pointing to hardware, I would be inclined to say that this is an isolated application issue. I would try this (in...

That looks the same as mine, except you might have a space in between "shell" and "32" that shouldn't be there. I'm not sure... but do you even have to use the desktop.ini file anymore? I just changed mine (then back) on the customize menu, and windows didn't complain...

...do it from another machine. I think the better question is: Why the heck isn't your network admin helping you with all of this? :)

Kind of weird that you know how to use a linux boot CD but not the windows command prompt, lol. But I'm glad it worked out.

Um... not sure about the defaultdomainlist registry key, but couldn't you just modify the defaultdomainname key for the same effect? I think that gets changed back whenever a user logs onto the other domain though. Edit - Missed it before, but if you couple that with what nd40oz was saying, you...

Without derailing this thread too much, here's a non-code way of doing it (in principle) if you have some time to kill: http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/7maintenance/mass-convert-file-names-windows-batch-file/ If you get all of your file names formatted the same way with MP3Tag or whatever, you...

Hmm... maybe I was mistaken. If the tags were all using the same syntax/delimiters (like artist - album - title), I can think of a few ways to program that. Plus there are probably more involved ways to extract tag info. I'm surprised nobody has done it yet

I think in vista / 7, you can just edit the tags in windows explorer via right-clicking... no extra software needed. And actually, for both posters who asked questions, you guys might want to check out MP3Tag... works beautifully for batch tagging, and I believe there is an option to create...

Nothing should be left over from GRUB because windows should overwrite the MBR, boot partition, or any other partition you created - unless you chose not to delete them for some reason. My feeling is that your hardware doesn't like one of the drivers that windows defaults to, given that it's...

They are port based, so all you would have to do is lower the priority for port 119 going to that machine and make everything else higher priority (assuming you are not using port 563 for encrypted usenet). I could type it all out for you, but there's already a wiki that provides way better...

You were using nbtstat, not netstat, correct? Also the nbtstat method won't work if netBIOS is completely disabled on the machine. Like the other guy said, you can get the MAC address into your local table by pinging the machine first (causing an arp request) and then using the arp -a command...

Honestly, most of the difference you'll see will probably be from wiping the installation clean... but yeah, if the drive has a faster RPM rating or if the cache is much larger, you might see some difference in performance.

^ I agree. Plus with bitlocker, you have to have a TPM chip on the motherboard or else you need a USB thumb drive to store the key. The only other useful differences between home premium and ultimate that matter to most people are A. The ability to join a domain, B. XP mode for legacy stuff, and...

You shouldn't have to play with the duplexing settings unless your devices don't support auto negotiation or if you have a cabling problem. 30 bucks gets you a 4 port unmanaged gigabit switch these days, although wireless routers with gigabit switches are starting to get cheaper/more common as...

1. 20 Gigs would be fine for Windows XP and some (not much) leftover space for program files. Personally I would go for a bit more - probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-60 GB. If you plan on installing a lot of stuff, you'll want more space... If need be, you can adjust the partition...

^You don't even have to do that. nbtstat -A ip address or nbtstat -a hostname Will work in most cases (with the machine powered on).

Oh ok, so it operates like an actual network bridge. I guess my answer to that question would be, it depends if network B is completely segregated from network A or not... That's almost like asking if two machines could infect each other if they were separated by a switch instead of a router

Oh. I was under the impression that even a VM adapter had to have an IP, but I don't know much about that area TBH :\

I'm not sure how the adapter would have no IP address whatsoever...?

This thread intrigued me, so I looked at why people are constantly being fooled by this claim... found a good explanation to the marketing gimmick in another forum: So yes, it would appear that you got served. Note that it's the only reference it makes to those numbers. If it was actually...
