You're right! I forgot about this - yes, they had a VPN, and a static IP address. I will check if my router supports VPN, I believe it should. In any case, I think I'm stuck with this router because it was provided to me by my ISP, but this is something I'd have to check with them. I'm not...

No no, I'm self-employed right now, I rented a small office space for myself so I can meet clients, store paperwork etc. I set up AnyDesk so it only permits remote access to computers I list on its security page. I only gave permission to my friend temporarily, usually my laptop and home PC are...

Hmm... But I remember, when I worked at my previous employer, we used Anydesk to work from home and I managed to wake up my office PC from my home PC every time. Anydesk would use the term "Trying to wake it by Wake-on-LAN", that's why I used this term. But I know there must be a way to make it...

Hello, I've been setting up a new PC in my new office and I've encountered a strange problem. Namely, I've been trying to set up remote connection through Anydesk and TeamViewer, with Wake-on-LAN enabled so I can keep my PC in sleep when I'm not using it, and wake it up remotely. My office...

Hello! Yes, that's the most frustrating thing - the case manual gives no info whatsoever about that hub. In the meantime, I pulled out the fan connector from the hub and realized that it's a 6-pin connector, whereas the mobo CHA_FAN input has 4 pins. I couldn't get them to work together - the...

Hello, I've been building a new PC and I've gotten it to POST, there is only one issue and it concerns the case fan. Now, my case, the MS Fighter V310, appears to have a fan hub in the rear, behind where the motherboard is supposed to be positioned. There are three fan connectors, two LED...

Hi, Colif! I brought home my office keyboard today to test it, and surprise surprise, everything works well! :) So it turns out that my keyboard was the culprit after all... I wasn't expecting that, but I feel a bit relieved that it's not some Windows issue. I guess it's time to buy a new...

Hello, since recently I have a problem that arises only while gaming: when I press a movement key like W, S or the like, the movement stutters as if I were repeatedly tapping the key instead of holding it down pressed. Interestingly, if I press two movement keys at once, W and A for instance...

Hi, Keith! I finally bought the PC, and since you had responded to my query, I wanted to share my impressions with you (and anyone else who might be reading): 5600X is a very potent CPU, easily boosts up to 4.5 GHz and beats my i5-10105f that I use at work, not to mention my old Ryzen 1400; I...

OK, I did everything as I should have... Bypassed the driver certificate check, installed the software, plugged the printer in when prompted and finally I got the message that the installation was successful. In addition, I got a notification from Windows that the device was set up and ready to...

Thanks, Krotow! Indeed, once I did what you suggested, Windows prompted me during installations whether I wanted to proceed with "questionable" drivers, I did and so installations were successful. Canon is now working as it should. (y) HP, however, is still<Mod Edit> with me. HP's Easy Start...

Did so. Failed. Did that too. Also failed. What now? :unsure:

Hello, I've recently built a new PC and installed Windows 10 Home on it, updated it, got my usual apps working, so far so good. But I can't get either of my printers to work. I own an HP M15a and a Canon TR4551 printer/scanner, and the same thing happens with both: When I plug a printer via...

Hi, Keith! Thanks for responding - it seems you have a similar build yourself, at least the CPU and motherboard. Have they been serving you well, are you satisfied? Point taken. I took a look at my vendor's website and they are offering a set of G.skill Ripjaws V @3600 MHz for the same price...

Hello, So after much deliberation, which I started in the thread here, I've assembled what should be the final list of components for my mid-range build that I intend to use for 1080p gaming, some light photo editing, analog audio ripping, media storage, and other usual desktop tasks. And I...
