I have been trying to work out how to create a guestbook on the web space provided by my isp. I have a website already created but I cant seem to work out how to get my text box stuff to get posted to a nother viewable page (hence posting a message to a guestbook) I can however set the page up with input feilds , email address , name etc and add a reset and submit button, I just cannot get the submission to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know what he uses! I didn't think to ask, I'll find out, and look up the Tweak too! Thanks :oD

Harley: One could edit the registry, but that's not something that should be done by the casual user. TweakUI might help, but I don't know if it comes in a flavour compatible with your friends computer, since you didn't mention the OS. Outhouse is a PITA to make behave, especially when you have the audacity to not use Bill Gate's favourite.

Ok Jason, thanks for your info and "research" :)
Ill check hubs ive seen them in the store.

I know someone who used outlook all the time, then changed to BT yahoo... but when they start up thier PC it opens outlook automatically. Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

one router will do the trick , you need a hub to split your ports you can buy these very cheaply now , not sure if you can put two routers together in the method you describe .

(from a website)
The Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch is the perfect solution for connecting up to 253 of your PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to a Fast Ethernet or Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server or client for your network, the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch acts as the only externally recognized Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN). The EtherFast Cable/DSL Router can be configured via SNMP to filter internal users' access to the Internet and serve as an Internet firewall against unwanted outside intruders. Use to connect 8 PC's directly, can be branched with hubs.

I have 4..so if i have another router gives me 8, but i need one for the second router.
Nope...not 7 computers "only" 5...Antje has many kids :)

you want to run 7 computors ?
how many ports have you on your router .

Would it be possible to add router # 2. Then we could have 3 computers and 1 router from router # 1 and 4 computers from router # 2.

Antje: Feel free to correct my post if you think its too confusing LOL

Don't several pda's use bluetooth technology for their wireless stuff? I've also heard that some auto manufacturers are using bluetooth for some of their sensors.

whats that?

Or you can setup a local Bluetooth network.

thanks Summertop.

I use one in my home. Each computer will need a Wireless network card. Most new laptops have these built in. Also, beware...You must have win98se or better to use a wireless card.

does anyone here use a wireless router in their home?
i have cable, but 4 teenagers, each have their own computer, but we are using a wired router for 4 connections.
when going to wireless, besides the wireless router, what do the desktops and laptops require to receive the wireless connection? will they each need a card inserted?

TIA

and thank you: BBW, Vitalik, Bernice, bumble, for your support and info and all the sites given.. I hope the pc will stay alive so that i can read everything without being afraid that it'll dies on me.. I'll keep you updated!

You are a life saver!! Thanks, will do it right away!

A good virus scan and removal is Housecall

this is the pop-up add filter I use...you have to pay for it, but it is just great and stops all popups...

add killer
here is a review on the product...
This has to be about the best pop-up killer we've used and is not only capable of handling every pop-up we could find, but it also doesn't get in your way and can be configured to allow pop-ups on specific sites. It also keeps a log of all the sites it has suppressed pop-ups from, which makes for interesting reading if you are so inclined. We really like this tool and at $25 it seems reasonably priced. It gets 10 gearteeth out of 10!

I will also say this....i have just looked at the "LOG-FILE" it keeps RADIANT and the very worst offender is BIG-CAFE....

I had a very good experience with Spy Sweeper

On-Line scan of PC for spyware

I have to used the above, and I'm not sure if it "fixes" any problems - but it does scan and lets you know of spyware.

Spyware and such

I would take a look at this program: Spybot - Search & Destroy

It is updated often (And you can download the updates strait from the program) - And I use this program often to to searches on my PC.

Not only does it find spyware, and "highjacking" programs - it also searches for "bad" cookies, or cookies from sites which may use that information for "bad" things. It will also clean and remove files. So it is a good thing to download and use every once and awhile. (Only down side is it is not the most user friendly program, but it should not be too hard.)

Radiant: Send me an email (you have the addy) and i will send you a link to a piece of software, that once installed, will rid you of the pop-ups, trojans etc etc and also protect you LIVE while online

I think i better read back on this board.. seems like Niki had the same problems i have! And those Trojan virusses i had a lot of them.. don't know if they are gone though..

but... where to start??

Since 2 weeks i encounter pc problems.. get unwanted pop ups - even after downloading McAfee Virusscan and security 8.0 on my pc and yet it doesn't work well!! :o(

Today I again got warnings on this screen from BK, that my pc has dangerous spyware etc & I have no idea where that comes from... looks like from BK, because not a new browser pops up, but right on the screen here... if i click on Back i get back on the previous screen..

Anyone knows whats going on or what i should do? I should better re-install Windows 98, right? But if someone here has the time, please advise me or write a path for me what to do first, second, third.. I really need help!!

Could it be that by playing these games the memory gets full?

Thanks so much in advance..

Actually (I think I forgot the b) it was coffee (or beer or whatever) piped through Nose into (or onto) Keyboard. ;)

hmmmm wonder if they are related to me LOL

Just took a survey for a group which used Survey Monkey - which I found to be pretty cool, which I might use some day - but I figured I would post about the place also.

The "Basic Subscription" to hold surveys are free - 10 questions, and 100 responses per survey. Very profesional looking, and no ads either.

Anyway, not sure if this would interest anyone, but I figured I would share it.

thanks BBW.. though this being my work pc, I shouldn't really be downloading stuff atall.. and our firewalls etc really ought to be keeping any nastiness out :)

Spyware and such

Even though you got rid of that one file, I would take a look at this program: Spybot - Search & Destroy

Thank you Aragon :)

<Eh? LOL i presume yor not talking about transcriptional regulators complexed to DNA strings with that n>k represenation so it must be a smiley of sorts LMAO

Breakfast time pint, Lunch time pint or dinner time pint. They all sound good to me :)

I suggest you take him to the pub Niki :o) BUT you can't have a drink, you have work to do ROFL.

P.S. I wouldn't mind a lunchtime pint & i know Aragon wouldn't say 'NO' LOL

lol

Thanks everyone.. he seems to have fixed it !!
We'll see how it goes, I may still be asking for that link Aragon, but at the moment it all looks good :))
I've lived with it since January, and it took him 2 minutes to sort out.. LOL.. I told him he wouldn't be able to go to the pub until he'd done it.. that worked ;-D
Thanks again for the help and suggestions :0)

Try starting in DOS and remove the file manually, I did a quick look and it seems to be a Trojan File (most likely from Germany cos they have most reported hits) but as yet no removal instructions.

I have a link to a program that may be able to detect and remove it, if you want send me a PM and I will give you the link Niki :)

LOL.. I know what DOS is :-D now I've just got to go talk to our sytems admin man before he goes down the pub at lunchtime ! It's his last day today, so his last chance to fix it :)
I'll let you know.. thankyou :))

Sorry Lythande, didnt see you here LOL. Now we have to explain that to Niki, and trust me things like that are not easy LOL (luv ya Niki)

<You may have to do it from DOS, which in the newer M$CRap products is a lot harder than it used to be, which is why I still have 95OSR2 and will have until debian gets installed. ;>

Have a look here Nike :o)

Shame Aragon has just left, maybe stevie has a better idea.

Some months ago, I inadvertently downloaded a file sp.exe onto my work pc.. it doesn't seem to affect a great deal apart from lots of words appear as links that shouldn't be, that take me to ntsearch engine.. and some sites that I should be able to see, I can't atall.
Well, I can't delete this file .. access denied, source may be in use.. and we've tried uninstalling and reinstalling explorer with no success.
Has anybody else seen this before and have any ideas how to deal with it please ?

Vinyl Ripper is good Andersp. Although you can use any of the free utils such as Windows Media Player!

Some you need to convert to wav first then convert to MP3, Vinyl Ripper will do it in one go and removes most scratches etc too.

Any idea of a good (free) program for line in recording.
I want to make mp3s/CDs from old vinyl records and cassettes.

no yahoo is 6 MB for old accounts and something like 3 Mb for new accounts!!!

Google to offer free e-mail - and to show that it is serious in a bid to challenge yahoo and such, e-mail accounts will have 1GB Storage! (1000 MB) - (I think Yahoo is up to 250MB free?)

It is still in beta mode, but will hopefully start soon. (And if you want that cool "name" before it is taken - sign up early.) BUT AGAIN, Still in beta mode so you can't sign up yet. They have been testing it for about a year now, and will be released to the public soon.

Google mail - gmail

Also no pop ups or banners - but what they are going to do is "dissect the topics being discussed in the e-mails and then deliver text-based ads related to the subjects".

Free Microsoft Security Update CD - HERE

I've had a friend say they just recieved theirs, so I just ordered mine. I know it is free in the US, but they also list other countries - so if you live outside of the US and use Windows - you might want to check it out also. :-)

Not sure how good the CD is, but I'll take anything free from Microsoft! :-)

Oooh.. sounds like so much fun... could be my chance to be that quiet little fly-on-wall and watch fishy and rek in live action, throwing around their b---- erm.. *blushes* nevermind 'notherstory.. Except that now I think they're both certified security experts and as to hacking, the less said, the better.

Well that sounds very interesting indeed Angora honey, wish I could get there, save me a seat in case I can eh???? hehehheheheheeh right next to you of course.

Oh thank you Monkey. :o)
