    Port forwarding/redirection

    I could do that for web sites, but I need port redirection for other applications that I can't install on my poor Pentium II router. The test with an HTTP server is the easiest way to know if port redirection works...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    We may be :P. Since my ISP blocks port 80, I’ve set up the router to translate all that comes to port 8080 to port 80 on the same machine (the router itself) that runs IIS on port 80. That works perfectly. However, when I try the same thing on another machine running IIS, it does not work...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    Well I found my problem. It seems my isp blocks all the port that I was testing with (80 and 21). I tried on port 8080 and it worked...

    Counter strike, anyone play anymore?

    I'll stop around once in a while. Thanks for the IP. I can't play now because my ping is about 180. Stupid videotron :( .

    Port forwarding/redirection

    I don't think that I have set remote access policies to keep routing from happening. I checked in group policy for the router and the default domain policy. There was a policy for remote access in the "routing and remote access" snap-in that was set to "refuse remote access". I set it to accept...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    Port redirection seems to be working to a certain degree. I set up an IIS web and ftp server on my router. When i use port redirection on ports 20, 21 and 80, it gives me an error (operation timed out). When I don't use port redirection, it gives me the web site and ftp of the router. So I guess...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    Dynamic IP. I don't have a registered domain name but I have a dynamic dns name. For testing, I use the internet Ip address and not the dynamic dns name. My web server is IIS and it's configured to use port 80 on it's LAN interface who has a static IP. On the router, I specified that this IP...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    Hi everyone. I'm running a software router (windows 2000 routing and remote access) and i'm trying to reach an HTTP server behind the router from the internet. It's supposed to be simple. I searched technet and found an article on how to do it with windows 2000 routing and remote access...

    Defrag program....does it matter?

    Speed disk takes a very long time to defrag. However, other defrag utilities like Diskeeper and O&O are not very effective when drives are almost full (20% or less free space). Speed disk is much better at this. It's also much better with compressed NTFS files.

    Played with the G5 1.6 and 1.8 yesterday...

    Thanks for your impressions on the G5 Greg. I thought that the G5's would feel faster than PC's. But it seems it's not the case. For Windows 2000, I noticed that you can't feel any speen increase when adding RAM beyond 256MB for light stuff (internet, word, excel) and 512MB for heavy duty...

    Chevy Cavalier 2004 (or 2003) : good car?

    Coug, why not a Honda Civic Hybrid? You get excellent fuel economy and a good car, plus the fact that the a civic does not look wierd (or make you look weird). The Cavalier did not undergo major changes recently. There was a minor face lift and the engine. Our canadian government has a guide...

    [NEWS] - New virus exploiting DCOM/RPC security hole

    Some people reported to me problems with Office 97. But, one did tell me that it was exactly after installing the patch that the problem occur. Maybe Office 97 has some problems with the new files in the patch (ole32.dll comes to mind). They solved the problem by upgrading to Office 2000. They...

    By the way, Québec has lots of electricity to offer to you poor americans. Notice how we were not affected by the power outage, nor did new england...Since you seem to have some problems with your power, we can always sell you electricity and a...ahem..."fair" price. :lol: Just joking of course.

    Lights out, whos home?

    It's surprising how emergency procedures are going so well. Plus, there was no looting in NYC, so I guess that's also something to be happy about. It confirms how NYC has changed since the 70's :D.

    RPC shutdown HACK!!!!

    You can also unplug the computer from the network to prevent the auto shutdown...it's simpler but I don't know if it works all the time. Also, I think that it's not all the computers that have problems (rebooting) that have the actual worm (msblast.exe). However, the computer that has that...

    Getting a Windows Refund in California Small Claims Court

    What I meant is that if his windows copy is OEM, it is an integral part of the machine. So if he does not like it, he has to return the machine for a full refund. Dell, or any OEM, do not sell you Windows, nor do they sell pentium processors, seagate hard drives, etc.... They sell machines. Can...

    Getting a Windows Refund in California Small Claims Court

    This works for retail versions I think...not OEM's. If you're not satisfies with the OS that came with you Dell, you must return the system for a full refund. I don't know if you can just get a refund for windows.
