  1. Forum Rules Shared controller? What do you mean by that? Like I said on my previous post, ICS uses the 192.168.X.Y range. Yes. That's what you should try.
  2. I don't share my eMail address allot, nor I use in sites that require registration (unless the site is trustworthy). What I have been doing for the last couple of months is using disposable eMail accounts or searching for login accounts. Allot of sites require registration for a simple task. Most of the times I will not go back there, so, using eMail address like the ones available on Mailinator, WuzupMail and Spamgourmet works like a charm. For login information, you guys can try BugMeNot.com wich also has a plugin available for Firefox. This is the best way to keep your Inboxes free of spam. Off course you can also enable SpamAssassin if you're running your own mail server or your email provider supports it.
  3. 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254 is known as APIPA. Wich is a private address used when there is no DHCP present on the network and you have your NICs set to obtain automatic IP address configurations. Have you try'ed with the following configuration? The PC (wich connects to the Internet) starts Internet Connection Sharing (make sure the Service is running and Windows Firewall turned off) and share the Internet connection with the USB WLAN NIC. On the WLAN NIC TCP/IP Properties set to obtain the IP address automatically (wich will be provided by the ICS Service running on the PC) and your iBook NIC also to obtain a IP address automatically (also provided by the PC). ICS uses the 192.168.X.Y range. So there maybe an IP address conflict when you configure your NICs to static IP address using the 192.168.0.1 on the PC and 192.168.0.2 on the iBook. P.S: Please follow the posting rules of this forum. Thank you.
  4. 3) - There are routers with modems built in that support this feature. You set up the router so it updates the IP address on a dynamic IP service everytime it changes, this way you don't need the computer running just because of the software update client. There are many routers that support this, however, I would recommend this one from SMC. (supports TZO and DynDNS) 2) - No. There are no physical AVs. At least that I know about ... Things get invented everyday. 1) - The router I talked about will not support this feature, however, you may configure wich computers have access to the outsite network (Internet). The best solution for you would be a firewall to scan outbound connections, and this I don't think you'll find on a router (at least SOHO routers). P.S: Thanks for following the rules, however, you must enter a thread title. Just [MISC] ain't that good
  5. Yes, you are correct. I was *really* missing the main point of this new implementation. I have edited my post.

    LOL Great find!!
  12. -> Site & Forum Issues
  13. Well, "I'm a scary judge of talent". It's your call Take care.
  14. LOL. It's back to normal now.
  15. You don't want to get your problem fixed because it involves working on it?
  16. There are a lot of programs that have a very nice GUI and do work very effectively. JV16 PowerTools, CCleaner, nLite, Opera, etc, and none of these are open-source. Saying "software" today" isn't very accurate, more of a slightly inappropriate generalization, also taking into account that you stated you haven't used anti-virus in 7 years. Off course there is good software, but big part of it is not as good as it should be. You gave me examples of good software as I could give you allot of examples of software that isn't good. I never said ALL software was poor, I said ALLOT of software is poor, wich is something I still believe! Will you ever understand that I never talked about AV software in this thread?! I'd rather people have a proper and unbiased analysis on the truly superior anti-virus programs out there instead of having more people post, exciting the enthusiasts, just to see some n00b say "Norton rules!". That's a waste of time to say that, a waste of space on the forum, and when in reality Norton is the most problematic and memory hogging anti-virus in existence. If some 'n00b' comes here and say's "Norton rules!", they are doing the right thing. They use Norton and recommend it. Yes, it may not be the most accurate statement, however, it is what this thread is for. To know what AV software the members use. If you want to talk about wich AV software is the best, do it. But here is not the place. This discussion is over!
  17. What are you using to share the Internet connection? I'll go with the RogueSpear. If you have anyone 'illegally' connecting to your network the best place to look at is DHCP Lease logs. Just make sure you know wich MAC addresses are the 'legal' ones to be connected tho. If you are looking for an inventory application, then I suggest you look at the Network Section of the F/OSS List. There may be some applications there you'll find useful.
