Firefox does come with themes!

Alright, gotcha. Now, if I wanted to forward ports TCP 81 to a client computer, where would I do that? In the router?

KuRe

Okay, I now have the server and all of the clients behind my ISB Router. the ISB is handling the NAT while my server is doing the DHCP and the DNS for the clients. Does this sound right?

KuRe

Alright I'm taking your advice. For the router settings (ISB SOHO) what do I disable/enable? (NAT/DHCP/etc.) Just wondering... the NAT on the router IS the firewall, right?

KuRe

Well, after it happened AGAIN, I actually gave support.microsoft.com a try, and lo and behold, there was my answer. I had a problem where my clients would try to access a server role before the actual role was ready on the server, therefore causing event errors in my event log.

KuRe

Well I managed to get my internet working again, by doing a simple, but inefficient reinstall of Active Directory. I still have yet to find out what I did wrong. Any ideas?

KuRe

Thanks for the response.

Howwweevverr.. I've managed to somehow cut out the internet connection from every computer (even the server) from just installing my printer. What did I do wrong? The server server can't even access the internet, and the cable modem is directly connected to it!

Right now I ...

KuRe

Well a more immediate danger is your son being in those diablo hacking forums. What he believes to be hacks could end up being trojans or virii.

Just a thought

KuRe

I see you're trying to allow mIRC dcc. Have you checked the settings in your mIRC client (right port, disable file ignores, etc.)?

KuRe

Well after some reading...I've managed to get the server to act as a Domain controller, DHCP, DNS, Streaming Media, NAT server... :D

One question though, whenever I try to get a client computer to join the server's domain, I need to set its dns address in TCP/IP settings to the server ip for it to ...

KuRe

I have a small network of <10 computers and would like to set up a Windows 2003 server box as the server to share the internet/files/printer/etc. Could you guys give me some tips on how to accomplish this? What do I need to set up?

KuRe

Yes it is possible, but are you willing to pay the $100+/mo for the same speed...

KuRe

The ip you would want to tell your friends would be the 28.45.56.xxx one. That is your WAN ip. The other ip is your LAN ip (just for your network). The most probable reason your friends cannot connect to your webserver is because the ports are not yet forwarded. To do this, you'll need to access ...

KuRe

Heh, okay, thanks for the info

I just like my ping low lol.

KuRe

Question: Would it be faster for me to use only one port of the router leading to the switch, and connect all the computers to that? I have superficial knowledge of how all this hardware works, but is it reasonable to believe that doing this will
allow the router to do its job and also allow the ...

KuRe

Alright! Thanks for the info guys!

KuRe

Hello YOSC :)

Thanks for replying so fast!

To be honest, I'm not very experienced with Windows Server 2003, or any server OS's for that matter, so I'll have to poke around a little more with the experimental install I have right now :D

Anyway, so you suggest I have the router first?

Would the ...

KuRe

I'm getting a new computer soon, and I now have the option of keeping my Nexland ISB SOHO as a router, or the option of turning my old Pentium 3 450mhz into a router.

What I intend to do for the old computer is to have it be a computer that is able to:

Host files for personal use (FTP)

Speaking of 3com SuperStack switches... would this one be practical (if I got it for pretty cheap) it's a 12 porter, but I often have friends over with their computers to play LAN games...

I was doing a little internet searching, and I saw someone stating that when the FS108 has all 8 ports occupied, things began to messed up. He said when he called the rep, they told him to find a different router because the "backplane" was not meant for his "needs".

Anyone care to comment on this ...

KuRe

I'm currently running a small home network with 5 computers, and am looking for a switch. I DO NOT need a router! :)

So far, I've been looking at these models of switches:

3Com® OfficeConnect® Dual Speed Switch 8 Plus

Netlimiter was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

KuRe

Is there any way to put caps on bandwidth usage for programs? Lets say I wanted to allow 200kb/s for a program, and leave the rest for my day to day work, would there be any way to do that?

KuRe

After some searching on various forums, I have found that the Nexland FTP site is still up. If you want your firmware, download it quick, before it goes down.

ftp://ftp.nexland.com/pub/firmware/

I also believe that a person has put the firmware on his site also.

http://www.shiftlock.com ...

KuRe

Thats the same exact reason I'm looking for new firmware! It seems that I have to reset the router just to begin surfing the internet after waking up, and then again later. Whats going on

KuRe

It seems that Symantec has taken over Nexland, and now I cant find where to download the firmware at. Could someone please direct me?

KuRe

Well, I'm on a home network behind a Nexland ISB soho router.

One computer is Win98
One computer is WinXP

Now, whenever I'm trying to copy a file from one computer to the other, it seems to never go above 5% network utilization (using the Network monitor in XP)

Anyone know what's causing it to ...

Hey, I'm back again, but on XP - and I needs a tweakin'!

How would I go about displaying my system's temp/memory usage/ and all of that stuff on my desktop? Is it some sort of program or what?

KuRe

By the way, this is on a computer with no data on it at all.. (just built it yesterday.)

When I just boot from the w2k disk so it installs, it just says that there is zero partition space on the hd, and it closes. I thought the partitioning was done AFTER it boots the disk.. no?

KuRe

Well, I copied all the files in the i386 folder on the w2k cd via <C:\w2k\>copy e:\i386 *.* However, after copying, I head onto the w2k folder and run winnt.exe to set it up. Whenever I do this, it deletes “temporary files.” and loads up new ones on my harddrive. When I try to reboot after that’s ...

KuRe

if u want the fastest "****" then u might wanna go for Nexland pro400/800 (forgot what the model was called)

or

a netopia one..

I'm not sure.. ask Cat, hes super-router-man.

KuRe

I was afraid this would happen... oh well

Thanks for the info

KuRe

If I had the extra 200 to shell out.. I would.. but this post is to try and solve the problem.. not buy it

KuRe

Was looking at those just now

Any others?

KuRe

After building my computer I plan on loading XP onto the system. However, the CD being used isnt bootable because it was burned for me by a friend.

Would you guys tell me how I'll go about getting XP on this system?

Also, this is a computer with nothing installed... no dos.. anything..

KuRe

U know whats funny, the thermal tape that came with it wasnt even covered to keep it clean, therefore when I looked at it there was all this stuff stuck to it... I dont plan on using this heatsink anyways.. hoping to use the slk-800 when it comes

KuRe

I hope the SLK-800 is easier to put on than this stock fan

KuRe

I just got my A7N8X mobo and the amd 2600+ processor.

the processor came with a stock heatsink and cooler. This heatsink is such a pain to get on, I have a feeling I'm gonna break my board before it gets on. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get it on??

KuRe

I'm planning to get a monitor at ~$300 max. Do you guys have any prefrences on any?
