  1. You can also configure a website to conenct to your Windows XP Pro (remote desktop is not supported on XP Home). Look on microsoft.com for tswebsetup.exe. That files configures IIS for you (but you may want to customize it) and copies the webpage. That way, you can log on a webpage, enter your IP address and voila. (Perhaps you'll prefer to install tsac.exe, it's the advanced client). If you are running Linux, I know there is a Linux remote desktop client, I don't remember it's name but I know it's working fine. Also, Gamehead's suggestion of realvnc (http://www.realvnc.com) is good since it supports Windows and Linux.
  2. Agree with DaveXP. Longhorn is still in alpha phase and is not ready for everyday use.
  3. Download this and run it looped at least 10 times. If it fails many times its bad. RMA it back for a new stick. http://www.MSFN.org/modules.php?modid=2&ac...tion=show&id=62 I ran memtest this week to detect that my memory module was defective... Efficient software.
  4. Maybe your home network is running on 10 megabit/seconds, when converted into megabytes, that 1.25 megabytes/second.
  5. When I do some file transfering between my 2 PCs, connected to a 4 switched ports Linksys router, I usually get around 60 mb/s (around 7.5 MB/s). We're having almost the same speeds. But, my Ethernet cable is doing some turns on itself (because it was too long and I didn't want to cut it) and it running on 70% of its length close to a TV coaxial cable (even if shielded, there's some leaks that affect the speed of the Ethernet connection). Maybe that's where lies your problem: do your cables run along some electric cables or any other electro-magnetic field emettor (anything that's electric, like motors or neons). Are you cables over 100 meters long? If your cables are too long, you will lose some speed (you may even lose the connection if the cables are way too long). Also, you said that all of your PCs have public IP addresses. Maybe there are some broadcast coming from the internet that slows down your computer a little. Otherwise, your network seems ok, but 100 megabit/second is the theorical maximum speed achieved in a perfect environment.
  6. Could you please keep the same avatar for the first few days, so we'll know your new name?
  7. I'm pretty sure those cards would sell well if ever Hallmark do print them...

    Bluescreen.

    I've had the very same problem last week, after I got some viruses. I reinstalled windows. Since then, no problem (at least, that one disappeared). I applied the MS trick: reinstall the whole OS may be easier and faster than trying to find and solve the problem.
  9. I meant, the recipe for the drink!!!! :beer:
  10. Me too... If only they gave the recipe... :/
  11. Was playing at Age of Mithology and Fire Chief until my PC crashed last week (reinstall + tuning + tweaking not over yet). About to play EA Sports NHL 2004... Dying for Age of Mythology expansion pack and Worms 3D to be released...
  12. I agree with Skyfrog, win2k workstation would work really fine as a home PC. I know some people who installed it and it works flawlessly.
  13. I installed the www.java.com version and it works fine.
  14. That's awesome, but it takes a little more space than a single monitor, and it's a little more expansive (nevertheless, I want one).
  15. phew You see me reassured... You can't imagine all the sleepless nights I had to find that one...
  16. In fact, I'm a male... I just liked the wickedness of the nurse... Sounds like I gotta find a new avatar ( :cry: it's been soo hard finding that one...)
  17. Wow. It's the kind of thing that just can't happen when prepared.
  18. The way I understood it, is that the board is reversed from actual ATX cases. When viewed from the front of the case, an ATX board will be on the right hand side, while BTX will be on the left hand side, so the PCI slots will still be at the bottom. In the pictures on www.anandtech.com, the board is laid flat, so the PCI slots are on the right hand side, and the top of the board is on the left hand side (always from a front view).
  19. The graphic riser card scares me... Wouldn't that thing reduce the total bandwidth of the card, or from the card to the chipset?
  20. It's not a book, it's a teacher I had last winter. Just don't know where he learned it... But I saw it several times on Remote Desktop Connection websites.
  21. For questions 1 and 2, you are correct. As for ports 3128 and 3129, I don't know what they are for... And, AFAIK, dial-up connections don't really have static IP... I mean, the address would stay the same for the whole connection, but will be different on the next connection (That's my experience with dial-up, some ISP may have different DHCP rules). You are not dumb, just a beginner (maybe not that much of a beginner if you have a router and want to use Terminal Server...) Everyone have to start somewhere. I am not better than you, just more experienced.
  22. Seems like you got a Sony camcorder... I have one too, and it used serial connection for pictures, and firewire for video. But you seem to have a newer model (mine is 3 years old, paid it 1500$ canadian) with USB connection. My guess is that the pictures are stored on the memory stick and the video on the "hard drive" and then are managed by two different parts of the firmware that were parched together. Also, I think that the USB connection is the 1.1 version, wich is way too slow for video capture. In fact, even actual USB 2.0 flavour is too slow. Firewire is faster because it uses the bandwidth more efficiently than USB 2.0 and the cables are shielded, wich help having good speeds. My suggestion is to put and add-on IEEE1394 PCI in your computer.
  23. From what I've read in your message, the problem seems to be on the NAT daemon side... Maybe that dll got corrupted... But I'd go with AaronXp on that: use third party ICS software... Microsoft sometimes want to do too much, and then can't get anything to work correctly.
  24. If your computer is behind a home router with NAT, you should forward the 3389 port (TCP+UDP) to your computer. If you want to connect from a location behind a proxy (you are behind the proxy, no matter where the server computer is), you can't since Microsoft didn't intend to implement proxy server support. But Remote Desktop is a nice feature to use... Tips: do you know that you can connect the local drives of the computer you are using to your server computer, so when you'll have open a session, you'll see both local hard drives (the ones in the computer near you) and the remote ones (in the Terminal Server computer) in the "My Computer" window. Just check the appropriate box in the Terminal Server client options.
