  1. This is pretty neat!

    I want to do something same. I have spare pc that runs ubuntu linux, suse linux and windows xp sp2 pro. On all operating systems xampp is installed (it's a package with apache, php, mysql, ftp, perl). I can run everything fine and view my website by typing http://localhost

    What I don't understand is the address that would it be to that pc and how did you forward port 80? That pc is connected wirelessly to a router.

    I see that you only run apache, I guess it's safer than xampp. Itr would be wonderful if anybody could help me out forwarding port and getting web address to that pc.

    I can also run server 2003 r2 on it if it helps. :}

  2. OK I found the value "192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255" from O'Reilly book. All I did is changed the stock/default ip address to router (geteway). It's really easy for somebody to log on because 192.168.0.1 is commonly used, changing it to something else makes you even more secure. I'll play around with proxy tomorrow, I never used it and don't know how it works, all I know is that it hides your ip address.

    If you have an extra PC laying around, you might want to use it as a dedicated firewall for your network.
    That's a smart idea :thumbup it would be probably easier, Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is neat.
  3. Great info,

    I had to disable passwords on both pcs, since I want to access some of my files from wireless pc and my sister want to stream audio & video from mine. I'm using Guest account ("Everyone" account). There isn't anybody at my house who will do some damage to my files therefore I don't want passwords.

    I always disable Simple File Sharing, to me it's a must. restrictanonymous also looks neat but it does not work with guess account, if I'll ever setup identical accounts on both pcs I'll use that along with password.

    As for my router, I think it's safe, it has:

    - WPA-PSK encrytption enabled

    - SSID Broadcoast disabled (smart choice)

    - Custom SSID name

    - Password to a router

    - MAC filters (very smart choice)

    - And DMZ disabled

    Now I have to change ip to my router from 192.168.0.1 to something like 192.199.0.0 (I believe that last digit should not be modified because it is a port number or something like that?)

    Does this looks like a correct spot to type in new ip so it would change default getaway from 192.168.0.1 to something else?

    One last thing that can be done is to set static ips, but I'm too lazy for that now :P

    So I think everything is safe or isn't? I never run antivirus nor firewall on my computers, too much bloat and resource for me, however, both machines are up-to-date.

    And one last questions, does a router makes my connection with internet more secure than a pc connected straight to a cable modem?

  4. Indeed, guest account on wireless pc was somehow disabled, I owe you a beer gamehead200 :D (I don't know how you knew that one). Now everything works fine, no password required. Does this mean that my PCs are secure? I hope that nobody can see my folders or hack into my router with same workgroup name. Should I leave passwords on both PCs?

    This is like the first time in a year that I got some of my questions answered, thanks guys. I never was into networking stuff...

  5. I have a 250GB Maxtor that is ~2.5+ years old and it's already near dead. My PC will frequently bsod because of it, hdd will suddenly rebooot itself, as if you woul unplug power cable and plug it in while pc is powered and it will stop spinning completely. Sometimes it won't turn at all, sometimes it works whole week non-stop, but none of the data is corrupted so far.

    This is a second maxtor that I see happening to it, I will never buy one again. I found out that hitachi and especially seagate hdds are the best.

    I never owned wd so I can't comment on that. Also all of my maxtors are really loud, especially one that runs on my xbox, when I load a game such as halo2 that loads pretty long time, you can hear terrible scratchu sounds from it like it was just about to die. I think that those come with stock acoustic (or something like that) disabled and that's why they make a lot of noise. Maxtor provides some utilities that with you can diable those features on your hdd.

  6. Thank you sir,

    Ignore funny comp. names <humor /> :P . I set password on wireless pc, went to my cable pc, typed in username and password and it worked.

    One thing I don't understand is why the wirless pc didn't ask for username and password to connect to the cable pc, also I don't like password protected pcs, but it look like I need to start using passwords.

    Now all I have left is to connect them through a crossover cable for highest data transfer. ;)

  7. Hi,

    I have 2 pcs at home, one is connected to wireless router thru cat6 cable and the other is connected wirelessly. I have setup same workgroup name and gave each pc a name. On my pc that is connected through a cable I shared a folder. That folder is accessible on my second pc that is connected wirelessly.

    The problem is that I want to share folder from pc that has wireless adapter and see it from pc that is connecte through a cable. When I try to access wireless one I get this:

    blahun4.th.jpg

    I don't get this because wireless pc doesn't have any password to its account. I don't know what to type in. Is this some kind of wireless protection. My router filters MAC addresses and there's WPA encrytpion enabled.

  8. You need to extract video from .divx to a raw video, you should never rename it to .avi, this will lead to incompabilities. You can use virtualdubmod or mp4box with Yamb gui which are the best, If you're divx guy, I would recommend to use divx pro with virtualdubmod along with avisynth (requires little scripting, noob easy to use) and it would compile it into .avi. On the other side .avi is the worst container to store video & audio. I recommend you to use .mp4 container, you won't have to deal with lost audio frames, audio not in sync anymore and it is currently best technology. Switching to H.264 wouldn't hurt either, it is currently best H.264 video encoder in the world and provides best quality not even considering that it is an open source and didn't now even reached beta stage. x264's quality is just breathtaking.

    Remeber, free is the best:

    - DVDFab Decrypter (Dumb dvd into hdd breaking all codes)

    - DGMPGDec (DVD2AVI) used to extract audio form dumped image aswell as the .d2v file which is later used with avisynth

    - AviSynth (+ little scripting)

    - x264 encoder (I always use commandline, since vfw is ancient and outdated) most people prefer to use GUIs such MeGUI, great for noobs and expierienced.

  9. In my opinion java is better than dot net 2 becasue it uses less resources and can be run on all machines because java runtimes is cross platform. In the end I don't like both, if I had to code any encoder or something that does a lot of calculation I would use an assembly with c/c++, those languages creates fastest apps on the planet. You can write hello world in C# along with other function and it will eat more than 10mb of ram just to run. Create same example in java, it will load faster and use littlebit less memory. Now create in c++ usinf mfc, it will eat about 500kb, pure c++ will eat less and assembly will come up to be fastest and most efficient.

    This is why Windows isn't build on dot net :lol: it's build form mfc and c++. I also thought C# and dot net were the greatest now to me it's a complete b*lls***.

    One that said that php is the worst is wrong, php and javascript are the best when sripting sites etc.

    However net 3.0 looks pretty good.

  10. New update pack is up

    What's new

    Version 1.60 44.8MB!

    This version cannot be integrated over previous Update Pack versions.

    Update Pack now uses 7-zip compression which shaved off ~15MB from the pack.

    Updated KB911280 to v2.

    Added KB907986 Hotfix.

    Added KB917537 Hotfix.

    Added KB914388 Hotfix.

    Added KB917159 Hotfix.

    Removed KB912222 Hotfix, it caused failed data transfers and network slowdowns.

    Removed WGA

    I hope that nobody runs into problems with integration ;) RVM Integrator v1.4.1 should be released soon, don't use v1.4.0. For those who had problems with kernel patch, new version of daemon tools is out. As for service pack 2 beta, it looks good and there aren't any problems with it, however, it won't feature windows media player 11 or internet explorer 7 or even windows defender. There are some talks whether or not to include net. framework 2.0 but I doubt that, dot net 3.0 will be out by the time they release sp2.

  11. Make nLite an open source project, I don't see any disadvantages. :blushing:

    Edit: I just noticed that Alanoll said almost the same thing :P

  12. @crahak

    You're 100% correct but I'm talking about a start and if you have little expierience as Blyenth does or me, video tutorial is the best start, then you get detailed info from books, at least that works for me, I just started working with C#, I like it better than Visual Basic. C++ is for veterans and way too complicated for a start.

    @RogueSpear, I respect you :D

    I was thinking about cross-platform language. I would like to create programs to could run on xbox for example, I got one modded in front of me with famous XBMC, I will look more into that proggy becease it fascinates me, It just runs itself, doesn't need any library dlls/frameworks and such. And what language is that? C++ or Python or something else?

  13. Oh thanks AllUltima for clearing this issue up, I was wondering why daemon and alcohol wouldn't work on x64 os. I guess i will remove this patch from my Update Pack. Micros*** is bunch of stupid idiots.

    Expect a workaround for this very soon after release. "If there's a will, there's a way."

    I hope there will be ; As a matter of fact I don't care what MS does (Vista will be a complete failure, trust me), 90% of the time I use Linux and my hacked xbox for entertainment.

  15. If you're an ordinary pc user I would suggest to leave it on, without it, your pc won't be able to get into power saving mode, meaning that for example cpu chip willl run constantly at full load consuming a lot of power, same goes to the rest of the components.

    I like to disable it when overclocking, 30% of bugs in a BIOS are bugs with ACPI. Hmm, sorry I can't tell you more, I forgot a lot about ACPI :(

  16. I say wait for Intel Core Duo 2 whatever the name is, codename Conroe processors. They will be cheaper than whole line of AMD chips, a lot faster (short pipelines & efficient branch predictor) than AMD and they'll consume ~65W. I reckon they're scheduled 2 moths from now? Find some good DDR2 memory (Corsair and OCZ released some low latency sticks, some are fatbody d-9 chips). And I hope that Oskar WU (hint hint: #1 motherboard designer in the world) will have his DFI motherboard ready by then for some crazy overclocking action.

  17. @gunsmokingman, looks good. Can you post a source-code? I would like to see basic structure of your app and how much code did you actually wrote.

    I still don't understand basics, even though I got access to many good 1000pg books.

    - for instantce, what code would you need to add to open something like "My Computer" to browse for files

    If you know, it would be great to hear. :D
