I'd try it out in a VM first to ensure you get all the functionality you want. Outlook is known to rely heavily on OE so you need to test this first to be safe. I remove OE, but I'm an HFSLIP user so the results are likely different. For me, Outlook 2003 worked great except for pop3 support. I had to reinstall the OS with OE to get pop3 working.

Here is a neat one based on group membership.

Not that I've seen. Maybe somebody could help you find a workaround if you posted the tweak?

Please explain the difference between IR and thermal as you perceive it and as it relates to this video. I am aware of some terminology differences (low-light, near IR, true IR, etc.) but have been taught that thermal and (true) IR are defined by the same spectrum range of roughly 3 to 15 microns (this can vary greatly depending on your info source). There are also differences based on emitted vs. reflected energy or even radiation vs. convection vs. conduction, but these all tend to ultimately fall back to a spectral definition as well.

IRC channels tend not to work well as supplements to a primary info source such as this forum, in my opinion. I've tried using them before, most recently for drupal, and what you tend to get is a few idling opers, a bot or two and no actual answers. The idea of near-real-time support sounds great at first but it requires a good number of knowledgable people to agree with the idea, run the software and and actually pay attention to the channel so that someone is online to answer questions when people show up. Also, it has occurred to me that anyone savvy enough to run an IRC client, find the right server and join the right channel is probably going to be OK without IRC support at all. A web applet does change that particular situation. I think the nLite forum, and MSFN in general, is busy enough to provide a similar level of timeliness to what most IRC support channels provide. And that is in addition to the vast repository of information we already have here compared to *no* archive for IRC. Don't get me wrong. I was once an avid, full time IRC user and have wasted a great many hours (years?) happily idling away, making good friends and writing bot/client scripts. While IRC still has its place, I just don't think it is suited for this particular purpose unless a significant number of people sign up for it. That level of support does not seem to exist. With all that said, there is nothing inherently wrong with some IRC users banding together to run a channel in support of their favorite application. But that is different from an official support channel and nuhi may have an opinion about it.

Try using the smiley dropdown on the second row. Try using the standard editor instead. You can change it in your preferences. I like the standard one better than the rich text.

Have you checked both your Share permissions *and* your NTFS permissions? If possible, try accessing the share without using the VPN.

That depends on your perspective of the legal system. Some people equate such things to light. As in, "I can use someone's porch light to read a book (trespassing aside) and that is legal." That line of thought tends to lead to jail. You'll see on the news all the time about people getting busted for stealing bandwidth, usually via wireless. (But it does tend to be in conjunction with some sort of deviant behavior like driving around naked.) Do the people with the unsecured wireless APs get in trouble? No. So, no; you probably do not have their consent just because it is "open." But I don't think many people get busted for using open proxies, if that matters at all.I'm not really sure what you are pursuing here. Speed? Anonymity? Perhaps you should read up on Tor.

So the question here is...? Yes. Bandwidth is being used by both A/X to C/Y and C/Y to B. Yes and yes. Bandwidth is being used by both A/X to C/Y and C/Y to B.Think of it as a chain. The bitstream flows along all those links as you described them. If C/Y is really slow (weakest link), your connection will be really slow. But if C/Y is really fast, as "real servers" tend to be, then it should be able to serve the data to you as fast as your A/X connection (weakest link) will allow. This is why caching proxies are popular. If the proxy caches all the data from one person's request, then it can be served to the next requester from the cache without using any of C/Y's outbound bandwidth again. Be careful with that "random proxy server," though. People like to trade lists of open proxies to use for anonymity or whatever other reasons. That does shield you from "B," but the proxy "C" sees all of your data and knows who you are. You may be slowed by that proxy if it is overloaded or on a slow server/connection. And perhaps that proxy has been setup honeypot-style just to see what people (you?) are doing. You never know!

All three of your sig links work for me.

The rest I do not reduce just because I don't want to do so.My current ISO is around 100MB but I am not using patches yet and I am not using high file compression. I spoke too soon. Apparently I have reduced Outlook 2003's ability to access pop3. It never accesses the remote pop3 server when trying to check mail. I can get mail from the Exchange server but it is a bit slow. Got some detective work to do... If you want Outlook to have pop3 access then you must NOT use the OE reducer. I was able to find three different DLLs which, when removed, caused similar behavior on an otherwise working machine. But copying those files over to the affected machine didn't fix the problem nor did installing IE6. So I'll just rebuild without using the OE reducer. I was actually surprised to get so much functionality out of Outlook without having OE installed as there are supposedly a great many dependencies.If anyone is curious, those three files were:

Right. You can typically choose between using the reference chipset drivers or the mobo vendor drivers. And different people have different skill and knowledge levels. They aren't distributing the Home version anymore so you may want to consider finding an alternative.

@TP: I think csapi3t1.dl should not be reduced in Network_MSNExplorer.rem. It is OK if I also reduce OE, but I get GUI setup errors about csapi3t1.dll if I only reduce Network_MSNExplorer.rem. Everything is fine when I comment out that entry from Network_MSNExplorer.rem. csapi3t1.dl is currently in both of those reducers.

Try PC Wizard or SIW. You should be able to at least get your mobo make and model so that you can check the technical docs on it.

And it is working great for me so far. AD seems to be working great, I have the meters I want and Outlook 2003 will install and run in plain text and rich text modes.I find it interesting the using all of the IE-related reducers has little effect on Outlook. You just can't use HTML rendering. Using FDV, on the other hand, gives Outlook all kinds of weird problems from not starting up to not being able to access the network. The only ones that I actually HAVE to NOT reduce for the above requirements are these: The rest I do not reduce just because I don't want to do so.My current ISO is around 100MB but I am not using patches yet and I am not using high file compression.

Beginner TCP/IP Networking Book/Books
tain replied to Gaprofitt's topic in Networks and the Internet
Many people disagree with that statement.Yeah, most of the info is online. But books are far from obsolete. They present information in a manner that is often better or more convenient than online sources. And some people even like books
