Tech-related problems

[frblckstr1]

hi, its me again w/ my tech problems ><
just recently the power went off around my neighbourhood and seemed to have messed up the router.  before hand, my desktop had the DCHP ip address of 192.168.0.1 and my laptop would have some other address.  but now after the power failure, the 192.168.0.100 address seems to have been assigned to my laptop.  i was wondering how i can switch back to my desktop cuz i use my desktop for BT downloading and now it keeps telling me that my connection is blocked.

p.s: i've tried rebooting the router again in hopes of it fixing itself, but didn't work ><

If this is wireless, I hope you are not connected to the neighbour

Anyway, sounds like everything in the router got reset, check the manual on how to set the range for DHCP address in the router to start at 1 instead of 100.
But DHCP IP numbers assignment is based on 'first come first serve' and the lease time (normally 3 days)
To ensure you get the same address each time, you should 'reserve entries' (check the manual on how) based on the MAC address of your network card.

A question about wireless, I suspect someone hacked into my home network leeching away part of my bandwith, if possible. Is it possible to disable him/her using p2p program like bitcomet?

If your wireless router is capable, allow only the MAC addresses of your own computers on the router.
Also, I would change the password, and encryption method (go to WPA at least, WPA2 if possible)

The simple method is to add a password.

If you wanna be sneaky you can make it so that for every webpage he tries to access he gets redirected to something else or messed up.  I dunno how you'd do that but I saw a page once where someone did it.

I've been having trouble getting my FTP transfers to the filedump to resume after a loss in connection.

I use SmartFTP and begin by throwing the file I want to transfer into the Temporary Queue.  I then throw it onto the remote directory listing.  The file appears in Transfer Queue and the connection  status is shown in Connections.

I was close to 90% on an upload when I had to unplug my network cable.  When I replugged, it restarted at 0%.  I've checked SmartFTP help, but it seems I'm dong everything correctly to get it to resume.  Is this a problem with how I'm using SmartFTP, or with the filedump?

I would not bother with the MAC address restriction, that's easily bypassed.  Just encrypt your network using WPA/WPA2.

It's the filedump ftp server.  Files being uploaded are stored with a temporary filename, then when you finish the upload or the connection times out the server will rename the file to the proper filename.  I know it's ghey but there is no option to turn off this temporary filename thingy.  So if you gonna disconnect by unplugging your network cable, wait 5 minutes or so for the server to timeout your previous connection, then reconnect and you should be able to resume upload.

I've been trying to enlist online for my subjects at uni for the past 2 hours or so, but whenever I click on subjects I need, the window gives me this:



Is it the school's stupid website or is it my computer doing this? :evil: I've been tearing my hair out at this point (okay, not literally) because if it's just me, then all the good time slots will be taken!

arian: nah, not your problem, that's most certainly a server-side error.  It should go away once a techie notices it and fixes it... hopefully

*phew* Thanks!

They'd better get started on it soon, I don't want crappy evening classes

Yeah, evening classes are FTL.

can be configured under IIS snap-in, under virtual server properties > home directory > application configuration > debugging

depending on the flavor of .net (if at all) and version of IIS (namely, whether you're running the server on XP or 2K3), you can additionally configure error reporting to be displayed under localhost, with a more user-friendly for external host requests. imo, best practice under .net is to fall back to classic asp for error reporting, and script the page to fire off an email using [insert your favorite asp mail handler, eg: CDONTS, etc] to the admin, so really you should just be building a custom set of error pages. the fallback to classic asp is to bypass .net config errors, esp when loading globals (as .net tends to be a pain in this regard)

Sigh, yes :evil:

I try to create a new recording file in GoldWave ('File' > 'New'), but this error always pops up when I do. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

^ It's obviously because you're using windows blinds and the style isn't working correctly.  Try turning off windowsblinds or changing to a different theme and try again.  "HDog" is most likely the name of the theme or the person who made it, and "Border style" is what's wrong with it.

Yeah, I knew it had something to do with WindowBlinds, but I wasn't sure what to do specifically or what was the exact problem. But now I do and it works, thanks!

[Mugen]

help! my .srt file wont show up with the .avi vid i play with! i renamed them the same name except the extension. Tried playing them with bsplayer, vlc and divx player and none worked!

[frblckstr1]

^ try re-saving in ANSI text (dropdown at the bottom of 'save file')

[leonheartx]

in vlc you can choose the subtitle file yourself. dont use quick open file, but use the normal open file and check the box for subtitle options.

or try using Media Player Classic. the subs never show for me when i use WMP or winamp but it automatically finds it when I use MPC so you can try that. Its a standalone player so no installation needed, just download the player ( http://www.google.ca )
