    [SOLVED] Internet problems

    If you do an ipconfig are you getting a good IP address from your DHCP server (presumably the router). I would also check the IP settings within the router and make sure they are good. You can also try and bypass the router and connect directly to the modem to quickly determine whether the issue...

    Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing well these days! I am finally planning a computer build (It has been years since I last built one). I am pretty far removed from researching hardware (my last GPU i bought was an Nvidia 600 series) so I am pretty out of the loop with what is awesome these...

    [SOLVED] Conceptual: Order of Devices (DMZ/Web Server)

    Ah I see. It looks like my confusion may be coming from how they were shown. The explanation in the book made seem like the following: Internal network -> Firewall -> DMZ -> Firewall -> Internet With that in mind, traversing two firewalls made me mentally place the server within the internal...

    [SOLVED] Pages Converter

    Hello everyone, thank you for the responses. I apologize for the poorly worded question. @ex_bubblehead is correct. I was looking to see if anyone knew of any good pages (MAC) to word converters. We have been using the zip and pull out the picture of it, but we frequently need to edit the...

    [SOLVED] PC crashes 10 seconds after Turning ON, and repeats.

    Have you tried checking the thermal paste and re-seating the heatsink? If the CPU is getting too hot the PC could be shutting down to prevent damage. Years ago I installed a heatsink that did not make full contact with the CPU and the computer would boot momentarily and then just shot off.

    [SOLVED] Does bottlenecking damage hardware?

    It won't damage anything, you just won't get the most out of a certain piece of hardware. Imagine you and I are in an assembly line and you can move 10 things per second, but you have to hand it off to me next and I can only move 5 things per second. I will not damage myself, but I will slow...

    [SOLVED] UPS for Laptop & Router

    I don't know enough to really give you recommendations on brands, but you will not need anywhere near 10k for a UPS to power a laptop and a router. Maybe a couple hundred bucks and that may still be too much money for two devices. Neither will really need too much power to keep going...

    Question Website(s?) won't load on pc but do on other devices

    That sounds like it could be a DNS issue. By "ip config flush thing", are you referring to ipconfig /flushdns? I suppose there could be a small chance that there is an entry in the HOSTS file although I find it pretty unlikely. If you have access to the router you could login and poke around...

    Question FTP and NAT Question (Conceptual)

    I figured it out. I was just asking the question in an odd way. NAT doesn't know what to do with it because the NAT table will show the translated IP/port for the connection initiated to port 21 from the client side for the control connection. However, when the server attempts to open a...
