It probably means that your Uni runs a firewall that is blocking the ports used by EverQuest. Your best bet is to talk to the IT support team and find out if they'll unblock those ports for you.

I agree - even if you could repair the partitions, I still woudn't trust them - best to recover what information you can, copy it to another hard drive, then start again with the fubar'ed drive.

...and as peterh said above, you need to setup RRAS on the server. Alternatively, ditch the USB modem and buy an ADSL router instead - much easier.

Are you running a dual-headed system - i.e. monitor plus projector? If so, you may need to turn the projector on in the display properties section

So I'm confused - if you're hosted with sleekhost, where does Business Premium come in?

You need to update your MX record so that it points to your IP address from your ISP. It looks as though BusinessPremium do allow you to change the MX record for your domain - see this page. Bear in mind that once you've changed the MX record, it could take up to 48 hours to propogate around the internet, so your server probably won't start receiving mail straight away. It looks as though you've got most of the other bits in place - the easy way to check that it's working is to telnet into your IP address (from another address) using port 25. If it's working, you should be able to send yourself an e-mail (see this page for the commands that you should use. Hope this helps AndyF

erm...that's for the BIOS password, which has nothing to do with the Windows administrator password.

You go blind!

Well, for a start, only posting the question once usually helps You cannot just choose a random URL, the only way you can put files on the web is if you own the space where those files are stored. There are plenty of websites out there that offer "free" storage - take a look here for a list of free webspace providers. Note that I haven't actually looked at any of these sites, so I can't guarantee their reliability or quality, but it's a good starting point. Once you have your online webspace sorted out, you should just be able to upload the files using an FTP program, such as CuteFTP

Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts? (to quote Pink Floyd ) Is your only problem with the game dodgy graphics? When you say "dodgy", what exactly do you mean? Can you play more than one race, or does the game crash after the first? If it crashes, how does it crash - does it just drop back to the Windows desktop, or does the computer restart? What system are you trying to play the game on? Do you have details of the graphics card? Have you tried looking for a patch for the game? Have you tried up[censored] your graphics card's drivers? We'll need more information before we can help! More Pink Floyd: Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working - good. That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on it’s time to go.

128Mb is a small amount of memory to run XP - it prefers 256Mb, if not 512Mb and upwards... Increasing virtual memory won't really help, since XP will still be using this excessively - and disk access is always slow compared to RAM access I would put at least another 128Mb of RAM, if not another 256Mb. Try Crucial to find out which type of memory you need - you can search by system or motherboard manufacturer.

Well, I used to be round, but after a bit of dieting, I'm kind of tall and thin now

Alernatively, if you want to open a link in a new tab, just hold CTRL down as you click the link...

Take a look at this article and this website. Hopefully they should contain what you're looking for If you have any success, could you report back here, as it's something I've been thinking about.

Just bear in mind that pulling the plug may cause disk corruption in the long-term

You should be able to contact him through his website here.

Yes, you will be able to host Apache on an XP machine without any problems. If you have Apache, you won't need IIS as well. Bear in mind that if you have a router or firewall, you'll need to setup port redirection. If you have a non-static IP address from your ISP, you'll also need to setup forwarding from someone like dyndns or no-ip. Apache is really easy to setup, and is very well documented, so you should be up and running in no time. Depending on what kind of website you want, you may also want to investigate MySQL and PHP at the same time. If you need any help, just shout!

The differences between DVI-I & DVI-D are shown here. The main difference is that DVI-I contains 4 additional pins, which carries an analogue version of the video signal. You need to check whether your Samsung LCD has holes for these pins, otherwise you'll need to buy a DVI-I - DVI-D cable or adapter. Dual link cables have extra cables to form twisted pairs, meaning that they are capable of supporting greater bandwidths and thus greater resolutions (single link is capable of 1920 x 1080, dual link of 2048 x 1536) - but, AFAIK, very few devices support the dual link standard yet. Hope this helps Rgds AndyF

Seems like an awfully high-spec machine just for file serving

OK, you need to turn off automatic reboot to see what error the BSOD is giving. To do this, go to the Control Panel, open "System", click on the "Advanced" tab, click the "Startup & Recovery" button and untick the option that says "Automatically reboot" If the problem gets worse as time goes on, it sounds like a cooling problem. Is your CPU fan seated properly? Are the case fans working OK? Is it triggered by anything in particular? Let us know the results of the BSOD and we'll try to help

Quite a few ATMs still use OS/2 as their OS (saw one booting up the other week, and almost fell over laughing when I saw the bootscreen appear!)

Ah, the aroma of fresh chopped pork meat products
