Excellent remote control application, and it's free! Used this with BG today, I was able to view his desktop and assist with configuration of his system. It also includes an excellent file transfer module, I popped a TiR profile into his TiR folder for him as we talked! http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ Well worth getting now, or at least book marking as it can help immeasurably

FWIW it was I, and I'm a Brit It's civilised here, no country/nationality bashing. And it'll stay that way so long as I am admin Middle East are fair game though

If you read the credits carefully on one or two of the above you'll see my nick

Great uplifting read, thanks!

I too swear by imaging proggies. I use ghost personally, as do several others here, but Acronis has a good rep too. I'm on the verge of re-instating my clean build too soon, too much development stuff been loaded. Plus I need to de-couple all my controllers to suck some video down of our Tivo type box.

Are you kneeling or standing on your laptop? And that owl ooks hungry...watch out! I've stickied this thread, as per BG's request last month (almost prompt am I ).

LOL, if you do get a tan from your monitor you spend way too much time in front of it, and you have the brightness up waaaaay to far If you need sunglasses to look at it it's too bright

I had a Triton when I left the Army in '81. Wide line featherbed, T150V mill road holders (IIRC) forks, clip-ons, rear sets and a nice ally Manx tank. Had a condenser mod so no battery was required, and Boyer-Bransdon electronic ignition. The triple sounded sooo sweeet through a reverse mega 'silencer' that was home made, I always used to say it sounded like a demented Merlin. I nearly cried when it threw a big end out through the crank case, I no longer had the earnings to repair it so it was eventually sold for the bits. Beautiful head turning ride.

The magazine I subscribe to, PC-Pro here in the UK, tested a bunch of anti-spyware apps and Spyware Doctor came out on top, and is still rated as their 'A' list solution. Woofiedog over @ UBI forums had an issue with an older version of it, a patch was available that I found for him.

Sorry to hear your news m8. I hope it's a decent package and you soon find the job that brings you both satisfaction and the level of income you desire. My enforced un-employment had a silver lining, I get to spend quality time with my wife whilst the kids are at school :cool:

LMAO spot on as always DT

...on the Israeli/Hezbollah situation: Link for Windows Media Player Shame he had a mouthful of food at the time, and didn't know the mike was on unlile that [sarcasm on]lovely chap[/sarcasm off] Tony. Funniest bit is the female news reader....

Like BG says. Not because you are likely to get a virus whilst connected to a DF/Co-Op server, but because it is easy to forget to turn it back on and you are still open to potential trojans. AV does use resources, but it is very little and you could add *.sfs files as an exception to not be scanned by real time protection if your AV allows that level of granularity.

I'm back now. But working outside sorting out the pool, time to run East Anglia dry of water again when I start refilling it . Post back a selection of available times, or window, and I'll endeavour to be available after 19:00 BST.

I have to go get groceries. But can also be available on MSN later if required. Remote assistance is ideal for this sort of thing

LOL. A different angle on 'Piles of Experience' eh Klinger!!

2 methods: 1. Enter Netspeed of 5000 2. Use drop down on network tab to select 56K. Either method, and only one is required

Much better Sged

The ISDN setting was quoted at some point, however 56K is probably better for us as several squad members are on dial up. To recap my understanding of the theory: The network speed setting dictates packet/stream size. If set too high the server has to receive and action a data stream that will result in data being lost, and then needing to request a re-send from the sending client. This extra processing will have a knock-on 'Domino' effect to all connected clients. When the upload speed (client) matches the download speed (server) then data is processed in a timely fashion. Dividing the servers connection upload speed by the maximum number of clients desired will give a figure, in kbs, that is then set in the network speed dialogue on both server and client and must match. Failing to do that can and will result in clients swamping the server with data it cannot process, and it will need to request a re-send that will result in the warping and lagging we so love. A single mis-configured client can cause warping for ALL on the server too, but this will be of a minimal nature and will impact mostly the client involved (and whoever is on his 6 at the time ). Rather than start at ISDN or higher I think 56K is a good starting point, and I reckon it will also be the magic number for us as it falls comfortably under the division result for 32 players on an upload of 250kbs (having a little head room on this figure allows for the minute amount of traffic TS consumes and any potential variation in the upload speed). I stress again that this is my theory based on the little I have been able to glean from reading a few posts from Sparx, the admin/owner of Warclouds server. Thankfully it's free for us to try, and as we are a patient lot I'm sure we can get this right As to whether or not we communicate it correctly......actually once a quorum has been arrived at I can send a global email to all with instructions Two or three of us commented on the spawn lag decrease last night on the DF, and also the very speedy mission loads. Sadly I could not stay around too long last night, I hope that smoothness continued.

Results of my lowly 521 ADSL line, I am told I'm finally getting a free upgrade to 2Mb next month, upload should be in the region of 600-800 too Asynchronous speeds are normal, but Sged your upload is relatively urm... appalling seeing that figure alongside your download speed. Again this reinforces the need for us to get our network connection speed right in the IL2 setup, and to use the lower of the two figures as our target. Did the game remain smooth last night? FROM BG It was very smooth and didn't see any lag but we didn't have that many players about a dozen if I recall, so it wasn't a true test. But I definitely think we are heading in the right direction. At least we now all have an understanding of what is involved. The true test should come when Glenn does his next "biggie"

C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint\TrackIR4\Profiles That is where mine lives, sorry so late to the party. Had a procession of Realtors come by, current one got sacked by us for failing to perform, or sell our house

I have read of previous Dell PSU upgrades whereby one has to modify the case, Dell like to use their own pattern for the fitting screw positions.

Hmmm. Time I got a life methinks

I'm up for it, watching you play with yourself...err wait. No I meant up for a session on Wednesday, err...

There is a formula of sorts: Divide your speed by number of clients you wish to host, then set for the closest setting under that: But hosts must also remember that Co-Ops do tax their system much more than normal, after all it has to 'control' the AI planes and moving targets too
