Perhaps slightly irrelavent as far as this thread goes, but I recently ran into a similiar problem with a Belkin Wireless Access Point for which the "stick-the-pin-in-the-hole" idea didn't seem to be working. After much Googling, I discovered the following trick, which should be noted here for...

*In theory* it's quite straightforward. All you simply need to do is have a wireless range extender, or a wireless access point that can double as one, that will be used to relay the signal to the router. Just make sure that they are on the same channel, that they use the same encryption...

I have to admit I don't actually know much about VPN's but at a rough guess I would check the network's firewall settings. Perhaps you are allowed to connect to the server from outside but the files themselves are protected behind a firewall. One thing you can do is try to find out as much of...

Thanks for the the welcome guys. This place really has changed quite a bit, you've been busy Sniper. I like the flag and the permalink thingy is going to be very useful, if my previous experiences of trying to resurrect old but useful posts is anything to go by. BTW, before those of you who...

Or, even simpler, just have your home directory on a separate partition and your settings will automatically transfer over. If you do the same with /usr/local/ then, in theory, you don't even need to re-install any extra programs that don't come with the distro. As for your original...

GREETINGS BRETHREN!! They said he would never make it, they said he had met his match, they said he was lost forever but once again, ThePenguinCometh has proven his enemies wrong. Having crawled through the very depths of the Underworld, having fought many an epic battle against the Undead...

Here's a simple solution for inactive threads: bookmark them! I have a few threads that I've had to call up again, usually in answer to someone posting a very similiar question that was answered on that thread. All I need to do is open up the bookmark and voilà!

Precisely, this is the sort of effect I'm trying to create: Actually I'm wondering how it would look if the penguins were carrying swords, spears, pikes etc!

My best guess is that you need to alter the second computers routing tables in order for it to know how to access the 'net. Let's assume that your ISP address is 80.80.80.80 and your main computers IP address as assigned by the ISP is 200.200.200.200. What you need to do, I think, is type the...

I don't know anything about your motherboard, but your thread title looks seriously dodgy :eek:

I'm not too concerned with the background right now as I want to change it. The effect I'm trying to create is that of marching penguins at the moment they're still sort of floating. Think 10,000 orcs marching on Helm's Deep and you'll get the kind of thing I'm trying to do. I reckon if the...

I realise this is your first effort but I'll be frank here - apologies in advance! I don't like it, it *looks* too much like a first effort. I don't like the hard line on the sky, I realise that's probably a deliberate effect but my first impression was that you got the layers messed up...

Something like that, you have a switch on it that can alter which computer or monitor you need to use. I've never used one myself so I can't tell how reliable they are - using SSH or X-servers' remote login capabilities is a much more elegant and cheaper option :D

I think this is the sort of thing you're after.

.....an alien spaceship appears overhead and vapourises the roof of the house with a disintegrator pistol. Over the speakers comes a voice familiar to piglet but one he has not heard for years - Capt. Link Hogthrob! Piglet is overjoyed, he tosses the pie over his shoulder (which inadvertantly...

Version 2 - looks better but I can't figure out a good way to add the eyes.

I've been meaning to do this for a while. It's my first foray into Gimp so it still looks pretty crap but you can probably see what I'm trying to do. Suggestions welcome!

Have you tried doing it from the administrator account or a regular user account? You could also try deleting the files manually but that can cause other problems so I would only try that if all else fails.

How are the computers physically configured? Does the main computer connect to the 'net directly via a modem?

Excellent, glad I could be of service :D
