I think that it even does not transform Windows to the particular language : an English Windows will probably not shift to a Spanish one.

Actually it does, for Windows 8 anyways. The language pack at the top of the list is the one that Windows is displayed in. However, there may still be things displayed not under that language, if the Regional Settings are set differently. For instance, when I choose French (Canada) as the active language pack on my computer, sometimes dates will still show in English (i.e. "Thursday" instead of "jeudi") because the regional settings are in English (Canada).

Language packs are available for Windows 8 (both standard and pro), as well as Windows 7 Ultimate and perhaps Business.

let us know what the issue was/is if you get it resolved

When I finally went home for my winter break and turned on the power, it booted fine and a box appeared for me to click the Connect button.

Right now it is working as expected, but is there any way to prevent this problem from happening again (i.e. due to an unexpected shutdown/power outage)?

There are some websites out there that use CAPTCHAs that ask people to click on cat photos. I'm not sure if it's from another service, but Microsoft is working on something like that, where you click cat photos out of a small array of cat and dog photos.http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/asirra/

Ok, that seems to show that the computer did not really boot. At least it did not reach the point where wifi is activated and connets to the router.The only solution will be to connect a terminal and see what happens.

I'm betting that it boots to the desktop and just doesn't connect to the router. At least it boots enough into Windows that scheduled tasks are still running properly.

agree with yordan... wireless connection between the remote device and router seem to be the issue... either the remote device's driver isn't functioning or the wireless on the router isn't
best solution would be to diagnose at remote site

I think it's just a matter of opening the WLAN configuration screen and clicking "Connect" (though there might be other problems that I'm not aware of right now), but I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

Ho-Ho, so we don't know if the system is working correctly. We can't know if the system is working correctly or if it is showing a blue screen.Does "net view" from the working computer show this one up?
Or if it has a fixed IP address, does it ping?
Can you see it's mac address on the router?

Nope, the router doesn't show it as a connected device.

i'm just asking because you said that the person at the remote location tells you the machine boots up fine, so i'm wondering if he/she can check if the machine can connect to a network

They are unable to as there is no monitor attached to that computer. They can tell me the machine is booting up fine because, well, the power light is on for 12 hours of the day.

can the machine connect to any network though?

I'm not sure what you mean by this or how I can determine it since I don't have access to the machine...

And next time, do not forget to install vnc on this server, so you can reach it from another computer in your home network.

I do have VNC Server on the computer, in fact the router is configured to forward the VNC port to that computer. But even within the home network, I cannot access the computer using VNC as it is offline.

By the way, do not forget Oracle as a valuable alternative.It's free for learning purposes, and for business purposes your boss will have to choose between a great professional database and a free one.

This summer I developed a database application for work as a student, I proposed to the IT department of the organization to use MySQL as I had no experience with MS SQL (SQL Server). I think both options are good, not sure about Oracle though. PostgreSQL also seems like a great system but I've never really used it.

Another option for smaller databases would be SQLite as mentioned above somewhere. It's used in many desktop applications like Firefox and Skype.

i think getting a good solid foundation and understanding of the fundamentals of programming is essential for a good career in the field...
here at the local University, C is the introductory programming language used... lucky for me i started with HTML/CSS --> Scripting(Python/PHP) --> and then C (very easy and smooth transition)... i don't think i will go any further though C++/C#/Java ?? most probably not

Here at the University of Ottawa, they teach Java in programming. I'm currently studying software engineering and so far everything up to second-year has been in Java. I'm not really sure why, since Java is rarely used nowadays (though I did read somewhere that it was a recommended requirement to get hired by Facebook as a software engineering). I've also heard that mechanical engineers are in a course that uses the C programming language though.

is the router still accessible from its end, for instance - is there any other devices connected to the router that you can connect to through the router?

Yes, it is. I can connect to another computer that has a wired connection to the router. As I said, I have already tried rebooting the router with no success.

I'm wondering if there has been any plans to upgrade the current version of PHP 5.4. Lately I've encountered quite a few scripts that won't run with PHP < 5.3.0.PHP 5.3.0 was released back on June 30, 2009, and 5.4.8 (latest version) about a month ago... I initially thought that there were yearly upgrades to the server, but I guess I was wrong.Can anyone fill me in on this information or should I contact Xisto - Support?

I don't really understand your problem. First you say you don't have access but then you say you can use LogMeIn to connect to the computer .

I can use LogMeIn to connect to another computer on the same network. That computer happens to be on a wired connection to the router.

your problem is right there on sentence one... you won't be able to remotely connect if there is no link (physical or wireless)
my suggestions:
1. try connecting to the router and do a soft reset - if the wireless connection issue is from the router then this might help re-establish it
2. try getting someone at the location of the remote device to give it a reboot (or check why the wireless connection has been dropped)

best of luck

I have already tried rebooting the router through the computer that I am able to connect to using LogMeIn. The router doesn't show the device as connected unfortunately. The person that has physical access to the computer does verify that the computer is booting properly (8 AM startup as programmed into the BIOS and 8 PM shutdown as programmed into Windows Task Scheduler). There is only a keyboard connected to the computer at the remote location if I remember correctly, no output display device, so that isn't too helpful.

This issue still a problem.No issue found.
please share how to for this topic.

First of all, the values you provided for IP addresses are private IP addresses. That means your 4 laptops must be on the same private network as the MS SQL server, or else you need to configure your router to do port forwarding to the MS SQL database server.

Are you able to see the server within your workgroup? I'm assuming all of the computers are running Windows as you are using MS SQL. If not, there may be a network setting configured incorrectly.

Have you configured SQL Server to allow remote connections? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/914277 The support article is for SQL Server 2005, but you may be able to find a similar option for SQL Server 2008 or other versions.

I think i'm more interested in creating images with customizations... for exmaple: a Windows 7 Image with all the latest patches/updates and plus additional softwares that i would normally install like VLC, MS Office, 7zip, Paint.NET, Flash, Firefox, Opera, Filezilla etc...

I would just keep the installation files of these programs on a USB stick or some other media and launch the installers after you do a fresh install of Windows. The latest patches and updates are downloaded automatically through Microsoft Update anyways and I don't really see a problem with that unless you're installing on a computer with no Internet connection (or a dial-up connection, which may take days to download).

I am trying to remotely control a computer over the Internet and it worked fine until the Wi-Fi connection disconnected. Here's the current setup:The computer is set in the BIOS to automatically power on at a certain time and there's a Task Scheduler event to shut down the computer at a certain time. Upon startup, the user logs in and automatically connects to the network. Obviously this did not happen as the computer is currently offline (I have verified that the computer still continues the power up/shut down cycle daily.)I can use LogMeIn to remotely access the computer, or by directly connecting to the IP address of the router through VNC (the router is set up to do port forwarding). I also have remote control of the computer directly connected to the router via LogMeIn.There isn't anything plugged into the computer except for the wireless network adapter and a keyboard. It is running Windows XP Home Edition.Is there anything I can do from here to reconnect me to the computer? I don't have physical access to the machine for another several weeks, and if there's nothing I can do then I might as well tell someone to shut off the power bar to the computer to save energy.

I recommend the use of the plugin DownThemAll if you use the Mozilla Firefox browser. It supports parallel downloading as well as many other features that traditional download managers do. I find that it works quite well for downloading files from HTTP/FTP sites.

I'm designing an application for an organization and the application part is pretty much done, it's just the design part now.Anyways, I'm given the opportunity to use nice vector icons on the user interface of the program (that along with the default icons in jQuery UI). Now I'm told that by the end of the summer, most (if not all) computers in the organization will be upgraded to Windows 7, which means that people will be accessing the application using Internet Explorer 9 (phew... at least I don't have to make it backwards compatible with IE 6).As far as I know, Internet Explorer 9 supports SVG, however I would like to design it so that there is a fallback for PNG icons, in case someone is accessing the application from home or a computer that is still running Windows XP (the application itself isn't entirely internal, it's Internet accessible).What is the proper way of coding this? I have seen two generally accepted solutions:

<object data='example.svg' type='image/svg+xml' width='128' height='128'><img src='example.png' width='128' height='128'></object>

Or

<!--[if lte IE 8]><img src='example.png' width='128' height='128' ><![endif]--><!--[if gt IE 8]><img src='example.svg' width='128' height='128'><![endif]--><!--[if !IE]> --><img src='example.svg' width='128' height='128'><!-- <![endif]-->

Microsoft and many others seems to recommend the first option, however I have checked in Firebug and Chrome Developer that the (non-IE) browsers download both images (PNG and SVG), which isn't a huge deal considering they're just small icons, but I would like to avoid it if possible.I am also unsure whether either solution work with IE 7 actually, since I'm running on a development server and have no computers available to test it. There seems to be a bug in the IE Developer Tools in that even if you select IE8 or IE7, the SVG image is displayed no matter what (even without a fallback!)Oh and I'd like to stay away from iframe and the well-known Raphael.js library, if possible.Anyone have any input on this?

As I am aware, Hotmail and Gmail already provide POP3 and IMAP access to your webmail account, and back when I used Yahoo Mail they had that option as well.I see that FreePOPs supports many services in their plugins, most of them lesser-known.

I figured out what I was doing wrong... I needed to configure the add-on domains in cPanel first before setting the nameservers with my domain registrar.

I have recently purchased a rather inexpensive domain name and I am having difficulty setting up the DNS settings to point to the Xisto name servers.

 

Currently it is pointing to ns.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com (as I thought those were the correct servers to use) but OpenDNS is telling me that both of them are failing. I have also tried ns1.astahost.com, ns2.astahost.com, ns1.trap17.com as well as ns2.trap17.com but none of those worked. This is the error I am getting:

 

Nameserver trace for http://www.example.net/:

Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed m.root-servers.net.

Looking for who is responsible for net and followed k.gtld-servers.net.

Looking for who is responsible for example.net and followed ns.computinghost.com.

Nameservers for http://www.example.net/:

ns.computinghost.com returned (NORECORDS)

ns2.computinghost.com returned (NORECORDS)

Is there something I'm missing here?

I'm wondering what's the best way to implement a user login functionality. Should I be using PHP sessions or some other thing like whatever CodeIgniter is doing? (http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html)I have already developed the authentication part of the login system by using OpenID however I am having difficulting developing the session part of the user login. I don't want to start off wrong and then have to do a complete overhaul (of even just one class or aspect of the application) because I started off wrong.

I would be surprised if there was any feature that actually allowed someone to disable the Print Screen function on computers through the web browser. Anything allowing a remote attacker to disable basic functionality that's part of the operating system (e.g. Print Screen) would be considered a security vulnerability.

Last time I used co.cc, Xisto was not shown in the browser, as far as I remember there was an option "hide URL" in the co.cc configuration menu.

Ok I still cannot find the correct option. Do I really need to contact support for this?

That's not what I want though. What you're describing seems to be this:(username).co.cc -> Xisto -> portal.trap17.com <- /home/portal/public_html/portal.trap17.com -> Xisto <- /home/portal/public_html/But what I want is(username).co.cc -> Xisto <- /home/portal/public_html/portal.trap17.com -> Xisto <- /home/portal/public_html/I don't want the URL to be redirected...as this will cause the portal.trap17.com URL to be shown in the browser, which is the reason I got the .co.cc domain in the first place, to avoid that URL from being shown.
