Do you have any identical machines, if so you could copy the drivers off of that... I think we need more information to find drivers for you e.g. Motherboard make/model, etc. Cheers Jona

I kind of assume this will probably need a new motherboard, do you know a part number for the motherboard at all? (Might be in the manual)? Cheers Jona

Definatly one for google, but this will probably point you in the right direction: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310441

Firefox settings do require a bit of scripting some ideas about what files to look for are here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=625999 http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=3176942&sid=5dbd99239e5e6498fb6c8e2f0aca1072 Hope that helps. Cheers Jona

I'm not entirely sure of the science but making a Faraday cage with paint, mesh or foil isn't that practical if you still want to have windows. Car's are pretty good faraday cages but you can still use phones inside them... Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage Also if you did manage to achieve this it will probably break any wi-fi (or at least restrict it to one side or other of the cage) Cheers Jona

What ever you do to get around this is probably going to be a hack.... If as you say this login is done via a normal windows box you might be able to script it with AutoIT. If the login is the same as the current login you can get it from the DOS enviroment variable %USERNAME% which you should be able to read with envGet http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/EnvGet.htm (there may be a better way). Cheers Jona

This might help: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp If you set an id / name in the option tag you should be able to read the value it's assigned just like any other field. Cheers Jona

Sounds good, I've PM'ed you... Cheers Jona

Thanks, I will be evaluating this, however the development is a university final year project, I'm hoping to combine helpdesk and asset tracking into one web based project. Cheers Jona

Hi all, We're about to bring out PAT testing in-house and need some software to keep a track of stuff. I'm planning on rolling out writing our own asset tracking / help desk software next year which will handle it but until then we need something. Obviously we can just use an access database, but I was wondering if there was anything better than that obviously free and/or open source is best. What we're looking to do is just enter bits of equipment and record pass/fail, retest. etc Cheers Jona

It certainly can be run on 2003, here for testing purposes we run it on top of the apache xampp package - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Although in a production enviroment we configure Apache, php and mysql manually so they are more secure.

Don't know if this is any help but: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-11377.html

I've used poundhost before http://www.poundhost.com/ and they did the job well for web traffic, however their bandwidth carriers wern't that great for gaming. Probably the best place to ask this kind of question is over at webhostingtalk http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2 Cheers Jona

@ Maniac - I've attached the download from the first link to this post, but still worth checking out the website as I'm not convienced it's not just a free trial. Cheers Jona BatteryMonitoring.zip

I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be any way to do this via VGA. I think the only way to do this would be to use some kind of IR transmitter to send a power off code to the projector after x minutes of system idling. Some projectors have the ability to connect a computer via serial to do various things, this might be worth investigating. Some also start shutting them selves down when they have no signal for say 5 minutes, so if you set power management to turn off the monitor this might achieve this (worth some experimentation to see if your projectors do this).

Surely the flash version should only need port 80 as it's web based, the content is being streamed to the page so you shouldn't need to worry about anything behind it. Does http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer in the allowed list not help matters? Or even the whole bbc domain.

well bat files are just a list of dos commands so hardly even coding. You'd want something *like* xcopy /E /v /c /y sourcedrive:\sourcefolder\ \\servername\writableshare\%computername%\ Cheers Jona

Sounds fairly simple with a batch script and scheduled task. On my machine I have a enviroment variable called COMPUTERNAME which I can see by doing echo %COMPUTERNAME%. I'm not sure if this is their by default (perhaphs someone else can confirm). This combined with xcopy to a UNC path should do the job..... Schedule to run as often as you need or just run manually before you image the machine. Cheers Jona

Windows server 2003 can act as a VPN server see: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/00c498a8-95e7-4780-942e-c4594b01f6151033.mspx?mfr=true It should be possible if you have a half decent linux firewall / router at the remote site to connect to this as a client (firewall holes, etc allowing). Cheers Jona

VPN might be the best solution, but surely it should be possible to remote into your linux box using ssh or similar.... Cheers Jona

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had come across an module / plugin / script for Joomla that will allow any messages sent to a pop mailbox to be transformed into news?? This would be really useful to allow staff to post news in an easy manor. Cheers Jona
