Hey all.. I have a slight problem with my computer not accepting incoming connections or stopping at one of my ISP's servers at least.. Basically, I have set up an IRC server which is configured correctly, I can connect to it, other servers can link with it etc.. But if anyone tries to connect to it they get a connection refused message.. I have forwarded the port 6667 which is the port clients connect through.. They have tried both my internal and external IP address. So I asked somebody who knows a lot more about computers than myself.. They then proceeded to try ping my external IP.. Which was unsuccessful. After this they did a trace route which w…

Hi: I posted the following in WindowsUpdate Newsgroup some days back, but no one ever replied, so I thought that I would try this Newsgroup to see if possibly someone might have an answer. ********** I have a friend running XP Home Edition SP3 and Windows Update is trying to install Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB948110) which I would think is an erroneous update for XP. I could not find this update installed on my XP computers so why would it be trying to install on his? I am sure there is a solution to this problem other than just placing the update in Hidden Updates status. Thanks....

Swap Drive Letters and User's Folder?
by Guest Steve Meyerson- 3 replies
- 400 views
My Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop became unbootable when I attempted to install SP3 for XP Pro. My plan was to do a complete reinstall. My data's backed up on an external drive, so I tried to reformat, but was rejected. It showed 3 partitions (I thought I had only one) and wouldn't let me delete any of them. I can live with the "extra" partitions, so I went ahead with the install, but during the install, about 40 files were missing (it said). So I did a "Repair" only. It seemed to work fine and the computer functions ok, but I have two glitches (which I probably caused somehow) I'm hoping someone can help me with. 1. Somehow it (or I?) installed the OS on Driv…
