Hey girl! This time we agree, edfair and me. I would recommend some form of protection against malitious software or hackers. You could probably just reinstall everything on your computer if you get hit, but it takes time. I'd rather close them out. Baldrian

yes, I agree with that cdogg. I had visited many threads b4 this one and somewhere along the line I stopped checking the date... But then again.... someone responded so there was obviously some interest around the matter. And please don't stop now, cause this is getting interesting :-) Baldrian

Hey dude..... It works! I used the "wrong" set of connections from the IDH to the DB25 on one of the sides, so I had to modify the null-modem cable as follows. I connected (the first number is on the side that worked al the time): 8 to 4 3 to 7 2 to 2 20 to 3 7 to 22 6 to 4 4 to 6 5 to 20 On...

Hi mainegeek Yes, I am quite confident that my neighbour does not use my bandwith to surf. Only my network cards can access my router. I am not even running encrypted. If someone wants to look at the files I download og my emails that I send, they are welcome. If anyone wants to go to all that...

Hi cdogg I think we may be a bit on the side here. But anyway.... OK so I have what? I have a box with a switch and hardware enough to run a software firewall in it?? I agree, that is a more accurate description, but its not wery pratical to call it that if no one else calls it that. In ads...

I know its better to fix it on the inside, but I can't... The connections on that end is covered with solid plastic thats melted on. I cant get it off if I want to even. Is there a chance to burn the motherboard if I use the wrong layout?? And how do I find out what pin is ground? use a...

Ok. I think I get it EdFair...... I am using the wrong IDH layout..... If the IDH on this PC is of the other type I'll have to rewirer the LapLink cable into (the cable between the 2 puters): 2 to 6 3 to 3 4 to 22 5 to 20 6 to 4 7 to 2 20 to 5 And then short 6 and 8 on one side and short 5...

Hi again To boss: It should be apparent that this is not a good solution for me. I am not concerned about the transfer speed. I wa3nt to use it for the old dos games, and for that it is good enough..... if it works.... And just to drive home my point.... the the cable and connections that I...

Hi malibu65k No you do not need a router for anything if you have only one PC. You can just forget there is such a thing called a router. A router is no protection in it self. To get extra protection you need a router with a firewall. What you need a router for is to connect multiple units...

There seems to be 100 ways to test the powersupply. Both in the wall socket and in the PC. The easy and obvious way to test this is to connect a different PC to the wall at the same socket that is used for the difficult PC. Connecting a lamp to the wall socket is not going to tell you anything...

Hi guys. I am new here so please dont yell at me. I have a similar problem to the one described by TallGuyinIT who started the thread. I know taking the disk out is the easy and quick solution, but it is NOT satisfactory. The first reason is that I have 3 disks and a CD-player/writer in there...
