I get a few hits in. Then his Ice Troll friend turns up unannounced to join the party

It was ( after a good Google) Kvenel the Tongue in the Volunruud dungeon. Though it says on there minimum level should be 21. I'm 17/18 or something so I am sure that doesn't help

So after realising I couldn't kill a boss in a dungeon (after trying for a few hours) I decided that I would mark it and come back at a later date. Off I trot to another random dungeon to do the same. Once again, kill everything other than the boss, but alas they will not die. So I start thinking that I am just cr@p at the game. So going through everything I have on me, I am not sure I have even got half his health down and my side-kick is useless at distracting him. He name begins with "Kuv", South-westish of the mountain in the middle. I have not played it since but will most likely go back and reload an earlier point and leave me random dungeon destruction for a later date. Might even try and finish another main quest.

Hi Aaqib, Schools within the BGfL already have this setup and working. If it was a BGfL network issue, it wouldn't be working across any of the schools. If you are getting to your webserver via the URL then this sounds like a config issue on your web server, not a BGfL issue.

I have the same problem Chr1s. On my way to do one of the main quests, fancied clearing out a dungeon. Killed all the other minions but when trying to kill the boss, it just wouldn't happen. After 40minutes, I had to put it down before the xbox went out the window. I have mostly been just hacking things but getting to grips with magic now though so maybe I need to go down the blocking magic path. Not got Stoneflesh.....

Cloud devices user CDNs which the current BCC Firewall does not support. This will require investment on the firewall infrustructure which they are looking into but you are probably looking towards the end of the year but lost likely 2013. Saying that, iPads, Kindles and other devices are not very proxy aware either. Testing some of the devices, you can view their respective stores via the proxy but as soon as you try to download them, it forgets the proxy settings exist and try to go direct. This is the same issue with apps, unless they have designed the app to look at the devices proxy settings, it will not work. But with big pushes from Apple and such, for the education market, this might change.

Thought I would add my 27p. The current BCC/BGfL infrustucture does not support staggared increase of the leased line. I can't see this changing until SB either re-negoiate (next year I think) or go elsewhere. Virgin Media will not re-invest in the switches unless either SB pay them for it or the demand is there. When the infrustructure was put in place, cloud services were not on the agend, likewise with online streaming. Found some old leaflets the other day saying the orginal goverment target was to role out 2meg lines and not 10meg so quite glad they went for the latter. With regards to having access to the BGfL resources, the current BGfL Cisco VPN can be used to get back into the BGfL (which is what the school that has moved away has done). This gives you access to all the stuff that the admin staff would use. In regards to getting MIS support, Link are looking at using a cloud based remote support solution but until the "policies" are looked into for this, I think it will be log-me-in for any remote support. Data Extract for the council. This would require the school to put the Cisco VPN client on the server with Groupcall on, connect, run GC, and then disconnect. Only downside is that it would cut off that machine to the network but I don't think Groupcall needs to be on the server though don't quote me. The only other way would be to contact the Data Extract team to see if there is another way since the FTP server for the data extract sits within the BGfL network. Besides that, there is not much else besides email. If you are just moving ISP, the above covers most of it. I think everyone else has covered the other things to think about.

Nice find on that player. And on a side note, there has been some SQLi vulnerabilities found in Joomla but they have only released a patch for J2.5 (as all other versions are EOL). I would strongly advise upgrading your J1.7 when you can. Most things "should" work on J2.5 as they do in J1.6/1.7

As you do. Wondering around Rorikstead and two dragons decided to pay a visit. No one told me you can get two at once. Wasn't to bad though. Only bad thing was not being able to get the dragon bones as was carrying too much. And I would love to simply finish one quest without getting another three on the side.

No, I don't think you can as you would need to set some sort of conditions on what permission they should have which NTFS doesn't do. Just an idea, though haven't tried it, create two shares for the same folder. One named "New Hand in Homework" and one "Check Hand in Homework" (Or what ever you want. For "New Hand in Homework" give the users on "write" access and maybe "list Folder contents" but no "read/read & Execute" access. This should allow them to save to the folder but not read or modify anything. Then for the "Check Hand in Homework", give them only read access but no other write/modify permissions. Slightly more complicated but might work.

Not usually one to raise a query on here but I am stumped on this one. Adobe Photoshop elements 10 installed on some laptops in the school but they will not update on the school network. The site sites behind a proxy and the LEA firewall. I have checked with Adobe and they are as helpful as a choclate tea pot. They "do not support" proxy setups so asked about getting external IPs and ports to setup a direct connection but they wouldn't give me anything which is the normal response. Other Adobe products seem to update over the proxy but for what ever reason, can't get this to work. The error code is "U41M1C213" Found this for another adobe product but none of it works either. It updates fine outside of the network, but thats a little impractical. Anyone else have this problem and away around it?

KB 1939 Think all the steps are there

I might pop along to the 28th conference for the day. Get out of the office. Stetch my legs

If the NAT has been setup properly, then as long as the host file has been configured to accept the IP address then your setup sounds OK. I found this on the Apache support site. Scroll down a few and it shows an example of what sounds like your setup. (2 IP addresses, one internal, one external) If you are using a Windows enviroment, IIS7 is probably your best bet. Can take a little while getting used to the interface but by default it is well locked down security wise (previous versions were left open). Just don't deploy it on a DC or other school critical server for added security.

Hi, Are you using the internal or external IP when testing? When in the SWGfL, does http://internal-IP-of-server/wordpress work ? When external to the SWGfL, does http://external-IP-of-server/wordpress work ? (This is the NAT IP given to you) You need to setup the vitrualhost file. I found this tutorial which I am sure can be adapted or point you in the right direction. Please bare in mind that XAMPP should NOT be used for a live web server. This is from their website: “XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for developers in a development environment. XAMPP is configured is to be as open as possible and to allow the web developer anything he/she wants. For development environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal.” But you can check this link on your localhost to check the security settings - http://localhost/security/ - to harden the web server.

I use Kunena on my sites. Free and the support is really good. It is really configurable in the backend so I am sure you could remove anything you didn't want. Any reason for having no avatars though? That is a key feature usually for forums.

Why don't you use the "blog" layout option instead of the category list for the menu item? You can always publish the sub-category list in a module position or use drop-out menus. Then use the links Rush suggested. And on a side note, J2.5 was released yesterday with J1.7 support stopping in 29 days time. Very similar to 1.7 but with lots of extra stuff.

Yes you can. On your endpoint console under "library", on the left it has ( i think) recomended. Clicking on this should give you a list of packages you can download for different clients. I think thats the path, not at a server to confirm. Select the ones and let it download. I can't remember if the console will pick up the mac on the server doing a nerwork scan but you can install manually from \\serverwithSECinstalled\sophosupdate Then choose the mac download package. Hope that makes sense

I think it depends on what you want to get out of it. I have both setup for my personal sites and develop extentions for both (in my spare time). Wordpress is a blogging site with simple updates and some good extentions to add functionality. It can take a bit to re-jig the code to make it not look like a blog but it depends on what you want the site to look like. It's easy to use for multiple users to submit stuff and get things on their fast. Joomla is a very powerful CMS which can be it's downfall. With a big API and huge extention directory, it can take some time getting used to it. It took me a week or so to understand how the templates work to make my own. Out of the box though it gives good functionality and some minor tweaking can get a site up and running in no time. Both are open source and have huge followings for any problems/help and by the looks of this thread, it's a mixed bag. But as peeps have said, it all depends on what you want from the site.

What does the above file give you? Any erros or the white screen of death? With $checkuser if you use if($checkuser->guest) echo "You are a guest, please login"; it's more easier to read. If you creating an plugin for Joomla, are you using Joomlas standard layout? There is a quick guide here - Joomla Plugin - On how to create a bacis plugin. Have you checked the extension directory to see if there is something already available?

Well, I support schools, not actually from one. Any school that has raised this, I have advised them there is not much we can do as it is down to Twitter blocking the requests, not the firewall/proxy. I'm not sure if any of them have resolved the issue. Someone might comment and let us know.

Now that, I don't know. They have probably got some agreement for lots of £££££/$$$$$$ to allow it. Good question though. Unless they actually HAVE chimps. Cheap labour with the current climite.

Hi, We have a simliar issue with Twitter apps on websites and it was to do with the Twitter API. As we are sitting behind a proxy which is shared with a whole host of other schools, you are all using only a few external IPs. Twitter limits how many requests an IP can ask for information on the API and will then block any further requests for another hour. You get the same thing when tweeting from Apps such as Tweetdeck at home if you tweet a lot. I think it is a 150 requests in an hour. I am guessing this is the case. P.S. I can see the example fine from here.

Hi Ryan, It's not the actual proxy server, rather Twitter blocking the connection. It is caused by their being one external IP address for a lot of twitter clients trying to connect. As the twitter API only allows a maximum of 150 connections an hour, Twitter will block any further connections resulting in the black screen. Well, when checking the firewall logs, thats what twitter are returning. This won't change unless Twitter change their policy which I don't see happening.
