• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Looking for PCI video card recommendation

    Thank you all for your comments. Yeah, there's no way I am spending more than $10 ($15 tops).

    Looking for PCI video card recommendation

    Dahkoht, thank you for understanding and for your advice. The issue is not only money but mainly that this is an old person who has no interest in making any effort to changing over to a new system. He has pretty much told me that when this system dies that's it for him. He has no interest...

    stop hotlinking using .htaccess

    Well, using htaccess I have been quite successful in preventing hotlinking to the point where even attempts have pretty much disappeared. I guess people who try soon realize it does not work. On the other hand some may just copy the image elsewhere. So this got me thinking about other sites...

    2 ISPs to one computer?

    While it falls short of dynamic load balancing I believe you could try something basic in Windows by using two (or more) network adapters each connected to a different internet connection. You can use the ROUTE command to configure the computer's routing table so that traffic to certain specific...

    Understanding Windows XP routing table

    Thanks, that was very clarifying and helpful. It does make things simpler for me. I will experiment and observe how the routing table changes automatically. One more question, what happens if there are two attached networks and *both* have internet access? Can Windows handle this? Will it...

    Understanding Windows XP routing table

    I am trying to understand the Windows XP routing table and how the routing is done. For example: Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 1) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100 30 2) 127.0.0.0...

    Need wifi-ethernet adapter

    Just so we're on the same page regarding terminology: I call a wifi Access Point the base where several wifi *clients* can connect simultaneously and I call "clients" those which are connected to an AP. Many people call a wifi to ethernet adapter device a "bridge" but this is confusing...

    Win XP Remote Assistance error

    Well, I resolved the problem by forgetting about MS and downloading teamviewer which worked fine with no problems and which does not even need to be installed. It can be run without installing it allthough it can be installed which, I guess, would allow the program to remember its settings. I...

    Recommendation on Kill-A-Watt meter?

    You can include computers in that list and the truth is that all these items do not consume that much individually. Generally I have measured items on standby at between 2 and 6 W. At 5 W it takes 200 hours (8 days) to consume 1 KWh which may be like 15 cents and that is the price for the...

    Win XP Remote Assistance error

    I see there are no takers. It seems to me this software is not worth the trouble of learning it and getting it to work. When I finally get to issue an invitation it will work over the LAN but not over the Internet. I cannot get it to connect over the Internet. I am looking at the structure...

    Win XP Remote Assistance error

    Win XP PRO SP3 When trying to send a Remote Assistance invitation I get an error message "A program could not start.Please try again." This error pops up even before the invitation is created so the problem is with the creation of the invitation and not with any later connection issues...

    stop hotlinking using .htaccess

    Thanks for all the responses so far. After much tinkering and experimenting so far I have an htaccess configuration which is working reasonably well for me. In summary here is what I do: 1- Using DENY block several IPs from link spammers, etc. RewriteEngine On 2- Totally block a named...

    problem with CD Player

    Good thinking. I have three optical drives on this system and it does not matter which one I select the result is the same. Also it makes no difference whether the digital audio option is checked or not. So it seems the drive itself is OK and the interface with the Player program is also OK...
