Sorry, incomplete post, here is the full answer. OK, let's see if the physical layer is correct. On the XP system, open a "cmd" command line window and type ping 192.168.10.2And go to the laptop, open a "cmd" command line and type ping 192.168.10.1And tell us what is the result of this command. You will probably see a pop-up appearing with a security warning from your firewall of from the antivirus, asking if you want to accept the incoming Ethernet packet, say that you accept it and you trust this IP. Also tell us if you see a led light near the NIC socket appearing when you plug the Ethernet cable.

Hi, Ivan,I moved your topic here because this is most probably it's place.OK, first of all, forget this "cross cable" thing.You are talking about recent computers, with recent Ethernet adapters.Some years ago, the old computers had old Ethernet adapters. These adapters were not smart enough, and could not guess if they were connected to another computer or to a swich/fan-out/router/bridge. So, they needed special cables : normal cable from PC to switch, scart (crossed) cable from PC to PC.Now, all PC's and laptops having recent Ethernet adapter. Now, when you connect with a standard, what you name "normal" Ethernet cable, the PC says "Hi, I am a PC" and the remote thing also says "Hi, I am a PC", and the agree "let's switch to the PC-to-PC mode", and everything works well.You can see that easily : as soon as you connect an Ethernet cable between your laptop and your PC, you will see a small light appearing near the Ethernet socket, fix or blinking. Fixed light means "connected", and blinking light means "connected and transferring data".So, everything you read until now is usable, except you can simply forget the "cross" word, any cable will work fine today.So, you have first to connect both cables.Then you will have to give a fixed IP address, because there is no DHCP server reachable on your cable, so none of your PC's will find something which assign them an IP address.You have to give each PC and IP address on the same network as the other one, but the last digit being different.For instance your PC will be 192.168.10.1 and your laptop will be 192.168.10.2If one of the PC's was already on the internet, before removing the cable (or before changing the IP address), record the previous settings somewhere (for instance use WordPad and put them in a file you name old_settings.rtf.If this was not completely clear, don't panic, first plug the standard cable between both computers and then come back here, we will give more explanations.Hope this helped.Yordan

Got it now.When connected with the new version, if you enter a new server address, you are asked if you want to close the current connection or if you want to open the new connection in a new tab.

There are several ways to do that. You connect to http://www.noip.com/ and you choose a name, let's say eggie.ftp.com and you download a small software, which you will install on your standard windows system. This software will make your PC be known as eggie.ftp.com. Now, let's suppose that you use vnc. Just start learning how to install it and use it in simple cases. You install it, and you ask him to accept incoming connections with a given password. Do it from another PC in your house (like a laptop on the same router). You access your PC by it's local name, or by it's IP address. Then go outside your house, open vnc, and as computer name you give eggie.ftp.com If nothing in your house blocks the incoming connection, this will work. Instead of vnc, you can use Microsoft Terminal Server, but it's less easy to configure, so first of all try with the free version of vnc. Concerning which full set of softwares you need : For vnc, on your PC you need to install the vnc server. On your girlfriend pc, you need the vnc client executable, which is simply a small file you put anywhere (including on your usb flashdisk).

I suggest http://www.noip.com/ It worked fine for me. You choose a nice hostname, let's say "eggie.ftpserver.com" (you choose in a list) , and then you ask vnc to go to this address.And it's free, of course. You have prog on your PC, which sees your dynamic IP and automatically sends it to the DNS server which will translate the eggie.ftpserver.com address to reach your PC from anywhere. If you don't wat this any more, simply stop the process on your PC.

Which version of FileZilla are you using ? I don't have this with my 2.2.32 FileZilla, when I want to reach another site it asks "Do you want to break current connection?"

Now you will have to do something in order to make the remote connexion working. You will have at least to understand if your friend's PC has a fixed IP address, and which one (private or public), but these are details easy to solve.

Glad and proud to have been helpful. And congrats for having been successful.

I tested it between two computers on my network. In the privoxy "Edit main configuration", then "file, save", I configured the listen address And then on the client computer I configured the proxy for Internet ExplorerAnd Internet explorer goes on the Internet And on the master computer, in the "live" log file you see the connexions :

No, don't change the proxy settyings of your main computer's browser!You change it for the client's pc's.Now, after having changed the "Listen" address, you have to write the file and restart privoxy and change the proxy settings on the client pc's.

OK, the log file empty is normal.There is a "settings" tab somewhere in privoxy, it opens another notepad window, and inside this window look for the word "Listen"You will have to add "Listen your_wireless_IP:80"After having that done and tested it, we will look how to make your proxy forward.

Almost true, but really false. Your wired network has addresses like our wired PC, around 192.168.0.133. Your wifi network have to have a different network, let's say 192.168.1.133 for the master PC, and 1.134 and 1.135 for the other ones. Your master PC will be on two networks : 192.168.0.133 , the wired network, which is routed to the outside world, the internet. This is the only way of having two very different adaptrers on the same PC, going to two differently devoted networks. And 192.168.1.133 on the wifi network, which is a network fully private to your home, cannot go the outside except when using your private proxy on the wired PC.

You can imagine to remotely connect to your computer (using vnc or remote desktop) while being at your girlfried place, , use your computer to download the things, then when back to your home put the files on a USB key.

If you want to learn-by-example and see how other people solved this kind of things, download the phpbb forum files (it's free) and look how their php scripts automatically all the tables in a given database.

You will see that it's really fine. During the scan it converts and opens a Microsoft Word document, including the text and the surrounding images.

It changes nothing. Just imagine if you go court. You bought it, and you signed a contract saying that you will not touch the code. If you go to court, the judge will read that assessment, and you will loose. Be sure that Apple did everything necessary in order that his rights are protected, any way people try to work around it.If you choose to hack your device, in order to use a commercial code without paying it, you are guilty. You cannot state that you were not aware of that, because this operation was impossible without hacking your device. And if you don't want to use a software or a song without paying it, there is no reason to hack your ipod.

It's sold by Apple. Apple says what you are allowed to do, and what is forbidden.This is intellectual property, protected in most of countries.Everything you do against Apple's right is illegal. And everything looking like reverse engineering is illegal.So, yes, jailbraiking an Iphone is illegal. Cracking the Iphone software protection is illegal, exactly like cracking any other software protection, either in a game or in a professional software or in a movie.

If you could borrow an adapter in order to train yourself it would be less risky. I would simply plug the single videoboard, and extend the windows desktop on the third monitor. Crosoft Windows should be able to handle this kind of things. I guess that it would be less risky if the other adapter was also a Radeon one, so less driver problems. I would take the risk. However, in case I am wrong, you would remain with a useless single video adapter... Hope this helped. Yordan

Having an ocr software on your computer could be rather useful for such purposes.With most of home scanners are delivered with a driver CD which also has an ocr software. Abby Finereader works rather fine, converting while scanning or from jpg files. However, free-ocr.com is a good alternative.And googling "ocr free software" you will have a lot of answers, from professional expensive software through sharewares to free ones.

I already did it for my home network. I had two networks : my own PC was connected to the internet, and it acted as a proxy for the other PC's which where on an independent Wifi network. So, I had two networks in my house. Have a look at your Wifi adapter documentation. There are two ways configuring a wifi adapter : infrastructure or adhoc. This means that you can connect your wifi adapter to a wifi accesspoint (for instance an inernet ADSL router), or create your own private network (adhoc). Simply configure each wifi adapter as an adhoc adapter, choose an SSSID (like "A34"), the same one for all adapters. Then you will see your wifi adapters connected to the same physical network. There is no DNS on your network, so you will have to choose a fixed IP address for each PC adapter on this network. Let's say 192.168.12.1 for the master computer, 12.2 for the second one, 12.3 for the third one, etc.. When this is done, verify that each computer is able to "ping" each other one. On a "cmd" command line prompt, type ping 192.168.12.1ping 192.168.12.2ping 192.168.12.3If the ping command is successful, this means that your home private network works. All your PC's will be able to communicate, sharing files for instance.Then, install a proxy in your master (the one connected to the internet). Allow this proxy to "listen" the 192.168.12.1:80 IP address. Now you are almost ready. On each "client" computer, go to your browser settings, go to "connection", "use a proxy", and give the 192.168.12.1 port 80 as proxy settings. Now, your master computer is still on the internet, but it asks as a proxy, through the wifi adapter, and each other wifi computer in your home is also connected to the Internet through this proxy. I use the proxy named "privoxy", it's free and works rather well. It also does a lot of useful work, like suppressing a lot of advertising pop-ups. However, it also prevents you from going to some websites well-known as being dangerous. There are also a lot of commercial free proxy softwares, wingate is one of the best ones. Hope this helps Yordan

Hi, kantian, welcome aboard.I hope that you will appreciate posting here.Yordan

Funny. For some pople getting MyCents is probably too easy. And for some other people it's too hard.So, I would say that the average realty is that it's correctly sized.

OK, glad to see that everything works fine now.I added "[solved]" to the title.
