I wasn't actually sad enough to remember the exact number of floppies ;) I just remember it was a nightmare.

My first computer had a 40mb hard drive and I was in awe at how long it would take to fill !! Also, installing windows 3.1 from 23 floppies FTW !!

Ye, that was exactly the problem I was having, it was sending everything down the VPN. You just have to deny any packets destined for your home network from going through the NAT. I can post my working config if its any help.

Check if your router supports QOS. The laptop can't "steal" the signal but if it is downloading/uploading a lot it can cause problems with online play. Or are you saying the xbox just doesn't connect at all when the laptop is in use ?

LOL.. isnt that just raid 5 ? except for when its two drives in which case its raid 1 ?

Don't worry !! I've pointed the network shepherd towards the BAA interface and re-attached the Gigglepin ;)

If only you were on sooner eh !! ;) Well that's it all fixed now anyway, just got to set up RADUIS authentication on the WIFI. Cheers guys.

Cheers Daz, i think thats the pointer I was looking for !

Its a weird one for sure, if I take the VPN out all goes back to normal. If I put the VPN the LAN wont speak to the WAN other than VPN stuff. If I log into the box through the console cable and tell it to ping google's ip it works, if I tell it to ping 192.168.1.1 it doesn't and vice-versa...

Anyone any good with Cisco IOS configs ? Got a 871W which ive configured to have static IP on the WAN, and a dhcp server for the LAN, and i've configured WPA on the WIFI. Now everything works perfectly well until I add in a VPN connection. After that the VPN works fine and can ping the...

^ Yep. Let us know the results.

Linux, cracking windows security in 30 seconds since 1988 ;)

PHP + Mysql Or if you can LAMP it ;) If you get stuck with PHP ask on here and I'll help you out.

Acer produce utter crap.. I wouldn't own one if they paid me ! Stick with proper brands ! Dell, HP and Sony Viao's and even Asus.

Scart FTW !! much better than that HDMI pish..

Some details would be handy ? OS/Browser ? links etc.

Funnily enough I was just about to suggest that (as i've done that before too :o)

Good stuff, power cycling the modem as I stated above would have cleared the mac pairing from the cable modem and is probably a better long term solution. Whatever works though eh ;)

It installs them for you straight after they are donwloaded. Try disabling compiz if its running press alt + f2 which will open a run box then type metacity --replace If your not running compiz it shouldn't do any harm and it will reset back to what you were running before the next time you...

open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade try installing all the updates via a console and see if it runs faster.. if you use a pata hard drive then use hdparm and see if your using DMA. also in a terminal type top and see what your system is up to. (to exit...

Free; Linux. The quickest.

Cycle the power on the cable modem, leave it off for 5 minutes then connect to the firewall and you should be good to go. You used to have to update the mac addy's manually but now it will just do it itself.

The cable modem is irrelevant as long as you set the static ip correctly on the wan port... try directly connecting it to the server and get it working on that first. You should be able to log into the cable modem and check everythings okay with that by setting the server to the same subnet as...

Its amazing the number of people who get confused by it. And yes.. you were rambling ;)

Yes ! where about did you see me ? lol im blind !

Be careful if your connecting a car speaker to a house/pc the ohms on car speakers is different and could end up blowing your amp.

CL = Cas Latency. Simply put the lower the better..... but thats not really the case if you start comparing different speed ram.

Get 4 gig but try and look for stuff with a better CL.

You can put 4 gigs in but it will only use around 3ish gig. I would buy the 2 x 2Gig as if you upgrade your OS later you can use all of it. Back to your original question, yes that stuff will work although the CL is quite high !

Sort of. 32bit XP wont recognise more than about 3GB. And people who run 64bit XP generally specify that rather than just saying windows XP.
