    Router unhackable?

    A lot of new routers have a DNS service that you can activate which does all the automatic port forwarding based on the web apps you want to use. I'd suggest using that if your router has it, otherwise you'll need to manually forward ports

    Router unhackable?

    to set up a webpage on your own machine you need to set up a DNS which will forward web traffic to a specific machine on your network. the Ip they type in is your external IP and the router forwards the connection to the required machine.

    Router unhackable?

    your LAN IP should be something like: 192.168.1.x (manufacturer and custom settings dependant) Once connected using your external IP, one can retrieve the routing table of connected machines. All you need to do is route your connection through your gateway pretending that you are connected...

    Another good ol' computer won't start thread.

    Take it to a local shop that you trust who have the resources and tools to test all the components. Have you tried using different RAM at all? The only things you need plugged to the board to get POST should be RAM, CPU, Video and Power. What kind of power supply are you using? (Wattage and...

    Router unhackable?

    It is very possible for an intruder to get behind your firewall and router. Once behind your firewall and connected remotely to your LAN, the attacker is considered a 'trusted user' allowing them much more flexability in term of gaining access to your system without you knowing. If your...

    Any ideas of where the noise is coming from? There are lots of components and lots of room for error inside a system, please be more specific to the problem.

    Another good ol' computer won't start thread.

    I'd test out the power supply, or go to your local shop and get them to plug in a new one and see what goes. Often, the emachines power supplies are powerful enough to run the default components of the machine, so adding anything and increasing your power demand will often stop the machine from...

    Remote attack suspected

    Just write a little batch script that writes the date and time to a file when certain users log onto your machine. Zone Alarm is a joke...it's one of the easiest firewalls to bypass along with the windows firewall. Set up logging on each user account through administration tools or...

    COD2. Is it worth it.

    I say no... Single player was far too short and the ending was atrocious. Even on the hardest difficulty I found it to be easy (unless you're the rambo type) COD 1 and 2 had horrible multiplayer games. I don't know if everyone is just horrible at strategic fps' or not, but it becomes so...

    Ideas for learning C++

    You gotta start somewhere :) argc and argv are used for command line arguments. ex. Say you want your application to compare 2 strings to see if they are the same... (we'll call the app 'compare.exe') from the command line you would run it as: C:\compare string1 string2 just like you...

    programming lagunae - what one?

    well he's the creator of C++...so you should be able to find his books pretty much anywhere they sell programming textbooks I may have spelt his name wrong though...but I'm too lazy to look for you, so hopefully someone else does

    programming lagunae - what one?

    I would also recomend C/C++, otherwise I'd suggest Java. With C/C++, you can do a lot of great things. Don't let everyone scare you with all this pointer nonsense...it really is not a difficult concept, and quite honestly, there are a lot more indepth techinical areas of those two languages...
