The scenario is as follows: A typical Small Business setting inside a big building that houses other Small Businesses. We are allotted a small office within that large building. That area has ethernet sockets on the walls. When you plug in your computers into those sockets via a patch cable...

You are very offensive without even knowing me. First of all, I have a two degrees in Computer Science and second of all, I understand electricity, components, voltages and everything (for which I also studied). You misunderstood that I didn't know how to do those tasks I asked about. Wrong, I...

For example, for a modern OEM ASUS laptop motherboard I can only find the dumbed down user manual on the manufacturer's website (not the actual motherboard manual). I'm looking for the motherboard manual which has instructions on for example: form factor (ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ATX,..), how to...

We weren't on the same LAN, that's true, we are on different parts of the internet, different countries. The 2607 address I got from him was his public ipv6 IP so that worked but his 2607 version didn't work (he probably looked up the wrong one). If it were the local IP it would have started...

Today we wanted to play again but for some reason my Minecraft client couldn't connect to his server anymore. We now resolved the situation by simply port forwarding the server he's running. Thanks for the information, it was interesting to gather that knowledge.

I have a simple networking question: My friend and I were trying to play Minecraft on Windows (7), where he was the server and I was the client. In order to join his hosted server he gave me his ipv6 address. I couldn't connect to his Minecraft server, so I connected to his machine via remote...

With the intense frequency data is multiplying (e.g. by constant cloud backup in large companies, social media messages,..), is the cloud ever going to reach a limit? I don't understand how the world can keep handling exabytes of information being backed up/created. n.b.: the 'cloud' is to be...

In TCP/IP settings, if you leave gateway and DNS server fields empty, does that mean no program will be able to access the internet? My goal is to have Windows LAN-enabled but internet-blocked so that no viruses/worms/trojans/malware can get in, so I want to make sure no internet traffic can...

Someone would look for Bluetooth access points simply to educate oneself on the matter (without probing). By 'scanning for data', I was implying simply a list of Bluetooth access points as 'data'. I'm not sure, but I think I haven't needed any access code to access my Bluetooth devices because...

What about the act of simply scanning for Bluetooth access points and not connecting to them? Is that unethical as well? I find it difficult to find the fine line between that and port scanning because normally, scanning for access points is a legal activity, for example, I can just turn on...

A friend of mine claims using this Bluetooth vulnerability tool to scan for Bluetooth networks is ethical hacking and harmless. He is sitting in the bus with a laptop and scanning for people's Bluetooth access points. The only ethical hacking I know of is by Service Level Agreement; i.e. being...

I've further informed myself - despite him being a complete PC novice - and he said the following: "I just want to put a bunch of drawings on paper. I used to search for logos for my sports club and I found them there. Then I added them to my letters to people." I'm going to try and see if any...

One of my friends asked me if I could find an application for him that he used to use. He gave me the following description: The application: -has a gallery where you have categorical drawings available and you drag them to the 'central white page' (workbench) -sometimes it's ok for the...

On this Minecraft server control panel website (which I didn't write), you can see the amount of players currently logged into the server in the 'Online Players 0/8' section at the top right. I want to listen to the DOM for changes in that particular 'Online players' text. If the number...

This is a production laptop. I am an ICT developer student and for my university classes I need: - 2 GB of RAM for my Navision Virtual Image (it's the minimum amount required by the professor) - Chrome uses around 1.2 GB on average (I have a lot of tabs open about software development, API...
