I used to use Zone Alarm, but after a while it forgot ALL of it's settings and refused to remember them ever again. Unistalled, and I just sit behind my Linksys router/firewall now.

I've recently switched to Opera for the tabbed browsing capability. I hate all those IE items on the taskbar :/ I've really gotten used to using Ad-Shield to block banners/ads & servers at will, is there a way I can do that with Opera? Loading banners etc. is making it slower than IE +...

:D That anime is just to wierd not to be cool... Oh, and what gave me away? Was it the Lain reference or the subtley anime-themed sig pic? ;P Anyways... A ping to the computer name fails. A ping to the computer's IP address succeeds. I can tell it's getting an IP address by looking...

I only included what was going wrong, since everything else works... LAN games, internet access, etc. Plus, I didn't think they had any effect on this particular feature of windows networking.... In other words, try to avoid writing an essay on the subject. Router: Linksys...

I think it says "loading." *closes* There's the patience of your average visitor :rolleyes:

Surely this is a security feature?

Yowch, that's a stinker lol Try asking in the programming section too, I'm guessing you'd need a language such as Visual Basic 6 or higher, or C++ to do that. I don't know of any "web" languages that can do it, but then again I don't really "know" any web languages :p

Isn't it 69-CHANGE-NOW? :p *Ponders the morality of picking on AOL users*

There should be an option like "Silent boot" in the BIOS. That's how I disabled the damn TINY logo on my laptop.

Yeesh, You broadband kids. The majority of internet users connect via dial-up ya know :p Ah well. That is why I have adshield... *blocks a stupid 800KB avatar on another forum* HAH!

That's pretty good as sigs go Geffy :D And bleh, Mozilla. People could also use Adshield if they didn't want to switch browsers... heh, am I taking this too seriously? ^_^*

OK, like many UK 56K-ers I'm on ntlworld 'cos it's cheap. Annoyingly, it has the 2-hour cut off. This usually just results in a quiet curse and a click of "re-dial", but recently it's caused XP to fail to access internet resources after re-dialling. Not ONE BIT of data will be transferred no...
