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.

    Distance between modem and router?

    Like the others have said, 40 feet will not be a problem at all. Personally I keep my router and modem together. I ran one cat5e across the house and plopped a switch on the other end. That way I can keep the router in a centralized location for WiFi, ports in the living room, etc... If you...

    Novice question..

    ^ Oh I totally agree. An 8 MB image is not acceptable in many cases. I was thinking more along the lines of compressing a .jpg until it's to the point of terrible quality.

    wndr3700v2 log

    Could also be somebody port scanning a range of IPs looking for stuff that got opened by viruses and malware. This is common as well, and your router's firewall is doing its job

    wndr3700v2 log

    I think these are false positives. Judging by those port numbers it's probably bittorrent/p2p. I tracerouted a couple IPs and they're coming from shaw cable, home ISPs, etc. Are you noticing issues with your internet connection? If that's logging every connection in the "DoS attack", that's not...

    Novice question..

    You could just download a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor and then fix whatever is wrong in the HTML document. However, these editors often don't comply to web standards... but for an ebay site, it's not going to matter much. Your other option is to write the code, which is a way more...

    help for dual boot (7+XP) - can't shrink volume

    Use a 3rd party tool, e.g. gparted to re-size the partitions. For the OP - At the very least, I think you should have at least 12-15 GB left over for windows 7. These days, I would argue that still might not be enough.

    Internet Connection drops after about 10 minutes of inactivity

    Hmm... while it could be the router settings as j-sta said, it could also be PC / software related. I would be inclined to say that if you haven't changed anything on your router or haven't switched equipment, things should be ok in that department... Around the time that this started...

    Essential skills for a new graduate entering the field

    I think the above two posts are rock solid advice. Mine would be - don't be afraid to start at the bottom. Experience is very important and working at a helpdesk, first line support, etc gives you a great foundation for how an organization works. A year of (sort of related) work towards your...

    Windows 7 Auto-Boot?

    Wake on USB has caused this issue for me in the past when I had removable drives plugged into the machine. ^ And yes, some motherboards do have an auto power on feature in the BIOS, so that would be something to check as well.

    Thanks for repeating what was already said 5 times.

    Win7 taskbar bug

    Mine jumped to the top of the screen. I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, or if they set it so you're temporarily unlocked while you have an icon right-clicked. I'm guessing the former because once it's at the top, you can't shift it back down using the same method... weird.

    pinging the broadcast address

    No, it's not really basic networking. Find me a networking introduction book that tells you that it's ok to ping the broadcast address - that's a debatable diagnostic test at best. There are other things going on behind the theory that can and often do cause this not to work.

    Mail Recipient opens Outlook instead of windows mail...

    Yeah, also to add to that, when you're looking at the default programs in the internet options - make sure windows mail is set for "MAILTO" and "Send Mail". There are some other handlers for Outlook, but those shouldn't matter in this instance.

    Fresh Debian install and unallocated disk space is massive!

    How big is your drive (obviously not 2 million terabytes). Maybe just a decimal issue? edit: Nvm I can't read

    Music Management Program

    Oh yeah, I agree that it's a total pain in the butt to do it manually. Every automatic tagging programs source has a different opinion on what something should be called; names can vary from album to album and whatnot. They get the job done, albeit poorly in some cases.
