Final SP for XP, and XP not being sold comming up soon... looks like the end for XP (besides 2010 support)

Day Of Defeat: Source Made by Steam! Best fps for PC by far. Trust me Mike lol :-P Avalanche FTW!

just my 2cents, looks like internal attack (port scanned) lol. but... that is just me might want to probe the employee's

agreed. a clean install is always a good answer. get a flash drive or borrow (lol) a hdd from a friend, back up your data in miniPE or something, just do a clean install and what-not. if for some ungodly reason it freezes go to the flee market and find a emachine dvd-rom, it normally reads the cd's over other cd-roms. (dont ask why but we do keep several handy at work for this same reason lol!)

Very nice that works perfect... doesnt work on vista lol but im sure i'll never need it on there.... Thanks!!

well its a little project were messing with here at work. kinda confusing but.. i'll mess around with it and see what i can come up with to get this to launch in a batch and save to txt. but any ideas would be helpful

ok got it working lol telnet www.whatismyip.com 80 (enter) GET /automation/n09230945.asp HTTP/1.1 ^j Host:whatismyip.com ^j^j works :thumbup Thank you Mijzelf for your patients and help!!!! Now next step is figure out a way to copy that to a text file lol >.<

figured out what the problem is but no solution lol.. i "can" telnet into it and connect but what i type doesnt show up and when i send the GET command it goes through but nothing shows up after i hit enter. if i telnet to the site and hit enter it comes up with bad command error, but if i telnet into the server and enter the GET command the cursor goes to the next line so the command went through. if i hit enter after that it comes up bad command error...

yea it comes up fine in browser as far as sifting through html, this should be simple http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp

i cant get telnet to open a connection with www.whatismyip.com on port 80 or any other port >.< is this just my computer being stupid or am i typing it wrong... method 1 telnet www.whatismyip.com 80 method 2 telnet (enter) open www.whatismyip.com 80 (enter) lol ?

Anyone have any idea how to get your external IP address from a command line when your behind a router? I saw on some linux forums how to get around to doing that but... no luck with XP? Any clues or .exe's you can save/run to do this? Thanks... btw lol has to be in a command line....

Thanks scankurban this is just what i needed. Very simple drag and drop, can link directly from websites :thumbup Thanks!

welcome and hope you find some help around here :-D

thanks for the reply Ok heres the very weird part... Once i load the computer up and all, and reboot it comes up like the HDD is blank right, well once i get it reloaded again does the same thing after i restart. BUT if i load the machine and restart, get the problem where it wont boot to the HDD, i take the HDD out and hook up to another machine.... it is blank o.O is it a bad batch of hdd's (i tried about 3) or is the laptop itself going crazy or am i going crazy lol?

im pretty clueless but the only thing i could think is you could roll back your system to a previous date that is known to work in system restore? sorta sounds like your actual onboard sound went bad but idk...

well ( sorry if this is an aggravating question) but is your video driver installed properly? Start>Run>devmgmt.msc> look for yellow "?'s" or under Display Drivers If not try adding this to your registry, you can use command prompt to do it just type this in. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000001 copy/paste that into a text document and save as .reg then run. Hope that helped

well.. if someone got your product key through illegal activities i wouldnt think it would be as simple as through your ip or whatnot. even though if someone has had your ip, they would have to get into your computer via port scanning, trojans etc. because if im not mistaken your product key is located in your registry. and to view that you would need to upload someones SAM (which is totally possible through a trojan) or have access to viewing it. reverse connection trojans is probally how someone had got it ( if that is what had happened) working at a computer center, i have from time to time seen keys that after the first format, wouldnt activate :-( but normally calling activation center will help. lol honestly its about talking to the right person, if you get them and explain your situation, if your lucky they will give you another key :-D . its happened to me just aggravating calling them over again to get to that right person :-/ Hope you have good luck with your situation!

I have an IBM ThinkPad 600 that once i load it with an OS works fine, then after restarting the computer after i have installed all my desired applications and what not, it returns in the bios on boot asking to insert a boot disk or floppy disk, like the HDD is blank or it cant detect anything on it to boot from. 1. Tried switching out ram and hard drive with known working hard drives and ram+-. 2. Tried several reloads and does same thing over and over again. 3. Was going to update bios but does not have floppy (mabe by cd but never tried it like that?) Basically been a pain for a few days now, any input on the situation would be awsome!! Thanks

Long story short.... I forgot and left the controller on overnite and it went into auto sleep mode. When trying to turn it back on the next morning it wouldnt power on. I have... 1. Changed batteries to new ones several times. 2. Left the batteries out for a while then tried with new ones. 3. Turned off the PS3 (which probally didnt have anything to do with it not powering on) and restarted it. 4. Hit the restart button on the guitar. 5. Repeated several differant steps above in differant orders. I think it might just be a faulty hardware issue within the guitar itself. Best bet is to mabe just RMA it back to EA?

well there is a couple reasons i dont have it set up with a file hosting site but... filezilla will allow you to let people download files from your computer?

Well what i would like to do is host a file from a XP machine so i can give someone a link to download it. Is this a simple thing? Also is there a way save the info of who downloaded what like ip etc?

Hey, I've used tightvnc to control other computers but this problem is a weird one... I have tightvnc set up on computer A listening, and tightvnc server running on computer B connected to computer A. On computer A i can see everything computer B is doing but i cant control it such as mouse clicks or what not.... mabe its just i need some more sleep but is anyone familar with this problem? lol do i have a setting set somewhere wrong? Thanks for any help regarding this!! ------------------------------------ edit Solved - haha you cant launch the application with in cmd trying to make the connection until you launch the application first lol Heres the wrong way.... winvnc -connect 192.168.*.* Correct way.... start winvnc then winvnc -connect 192.168.*.* Thought i would post back on that... not sure how come that made the fix but worked for me lol.

well... lol mabe a good ole windows repair is what you need? not sure just my first guess...

not sure if this would help but looks interesting... http://www.paessler.com/prtg/
