New to routers Posted: 4/17/2008 10:15:56 PM
Easy question to answer...nope wouldn't bother unless you haven't secured it. First as stated change the default access password. Also please make sure you are using an alpha-numeric password and not a string or as some people do "1234". Pretty much a no brainer on that one :) You also want to enable some type of encryption WPA2 encryption is the best with a shared key password. Easy to setup and no issues of people trying to access the net from your router for without the shared key they will not be able to connect. The other option, if your router supports network filtering and you can specify by mac address which will eliminate anyone other that who you allow to connect to your router This stuff is pretty easy to set up, just read your docs that came with your router

How long should I wait??? Posted: 4/17/2008 9:37:26 PM
Well to be honest and yes I am a guy, 2 weeks really isn't that long. I know we are all sexual but if u force her to make a choice to either have sex with you or u move on, you are guaranteed the relationship is going to be a short and one that definitely wont end on a good note. You talk about months but how many months (2?, 3?, ...) If she waited 2 months, sorry to say but big deal. As guys we forget that for women its about the relationship and the connection she feels with you which determines to her if she is ready to take that step. Saying she wants to be able to be friends, in simple terms, means she is looking for the long term deal and not some quick fix. The other note is you got involved with someone who has beliefs and morals, if all you wanted was something quick then u definitely went looking up the wrong tree. Basically it comes down to the simple terms, how much does she mean to you and where are you looking to take the possibilities?

Are all men only looking for Sex Posted: 7/25/2007 10:07:26 PM
Hi SweetThang61, thats a lot to chew on but I can say not all men are looking for just for that and are not willing to wait and get to know you better or build the beginnings of a relationship. I know, for I am one of them but I will agree with some of the statements that if you are being sexual aggressive I don't know anyone who is going to say stop and say we need to get to know each other better. Men have different ideals of those type of situations, I think most men leave that decision of when its right to the women. I know I do for its something that every guy seams to figure out after dating that sex means something more to a women than it does for us. Just be honest and upfront with the guy and he will either respect it and if he doesn't like everyone else would say take him to the trash and leave him for the rats. Best of luck in your fishing and keep looking, he is there, its just takes time to clear the weeds

You most likely have what we call hijacker and/or spyware software installed. follow this link or google "cwshredder" to remove the hijacker component http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html Free spyware removal software can be easily found but one that I use that is AVG Anti-Spyware this can be found from: http://free.grisoft.com This should clean up your problems.

Trying to get wireless internet from a broadband connection, having issues. Posted: 6/11/2007 6:41:03 PM
Ok from most of it you have a couple of possible issues: 1.) You might be connecting to the wrong network - every router by factory sets itself to default as an SSID - change this to a different value (see your router documentation) and reprogram your wireless settings from your laptop in terms of connection order (easiest is to remove all wireless connections that you find) 2.) make sure you can get to the admin web interface - 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 3.) if you are using adsl (TELUS), you are required to register the mac address of the router before you are able to get access to the internet. Registering (Instructions directly from TELUS): Instructions are at: http://www.mytelus.com/internet/highspeed/help/highspeedInstallMacAddress.vm Read Below for steps: Go to the OCA Web page by entering http://oca.telus.net in your Address bar. Enter the username and password/ you selected or were given when you ordered TELUS High Speed. Click the One Step Registration of your PC link. When prompted to reboot your computer, choose Yes. Once your computer reboots, open a Web browser and try to access a Web page such as www.mytelus.com. This should fix your issues

flash not working in firefox Posted: 4/28/2007 6:03:05 PM
Firefox requires a separate install of flash to work. The plug in is different than IE. Go to www.abode.com to install.

Connection problems Posted: 3/20/2007 9:46:40 PM
Problem when it comes to security software. Uninstalling it before shutting down all process leaves it still on your machine. One of the notes of not using it!!! You are going to have to reinstall the software and then shut down the services started up by the security software. Once you have shut them down do the install. If that doesn't work or is to complicated reinstall the software then do an uninstall in safemode. Best of luck

Monitoring internet traffic on a site Posted: 3/7/2007 6:05:55 PM
Here what we use at the office: http://www.stuffedguys.com/products/tracker/ Take a look, there a lot out there and depends on what information you are looking to acquire. Just do a google search and find whats best for you. Most will require a small piece of Java script to be put on the top of each page and on particular actions.

IMPORTANT --> Spyware - Popups, Homepage Changing Posted: 3/6/2007 11:18:07 PM
Also if you have a hijacker or anoying pop ups, one of the best to use to clean your computer is cwshredder Its a free download, just goolge it Virus software does not remove all type of spyware, nor will it protect u As with most spyware there requires an action from your part. Dont click anything that you are not sure what it is, is always the simplest rule

Need more info as to what you are trying to achieve Most stats sites or programs that you can buy or use to monitor traffic are fairly standard As with most sites you have a about 5 seconds to intice a user, if you are trying to increase clicks you need to look at position, size, proportion, marketing text and graphical use and appeal

CD Drive acting funny Posted: 3/6/2007 11:10:47 PM
Best guess is that it might be burnt our, most cd drives only last a couple of years. The other thing you can do is check for updated firmware for you make and model. This will also correct issues

D-link problem...... your opinions? Posted: 3/6/2007 11:05:23 PM
If this is a ADSL connection and you changed the router or modem, this is a case in which most ADSL providers require you to register the new mac address before you are able to connect to the internet gateway. As stated above if this is a router, open a cmd box and run a ipconfig and ping the router - most D Link routers are at 192.168.0.1 gateways by default. If you can ping the router than its most likely a registration issue with the ADSL provider. Also extrmely important to install all phone micro-filters to all phones or you will not get a steady ADSL connection with the modem, if any. Hope this helps

Do older men stay away from women in their 30's? Posted: 3/6/2007 7:05:36 PM
Hi Wenlex To be honest its quite true that men are very flattered when approached by a women. To be honest I find that women more interesting than if I was the one making the first move. I think we all know by this time if you don't take the initiative sometimes, you may miss the boat. Something to think about. I looked at your profile and to be honest I am quite surprised you don't have a lot of requests to know you more. Your very attractive, you seem to have a great personality and one of the biggest things, is that you know what you want All I can say if you were in my neck of the woods, I would be more than interested Wish you the best

Trust Issues Posted: 12/27/2005 9:23:16 AM
As we can all say, "We all have issues and we are all dealing with them." Having said that, I can say most of us have been in the same situation and its hard to get past it even when you are with the right person. If I have learned anything from mine is that if you expect them to cheat or you think they will cheat, they will cheat. That type of attitude just creates problems with the relationship and it will break down and at some point, it will just happen. Its hard to remember that everyone you meet is different that what happened in one relationship does not mean it will happen in another. Best thing you can do is to talk about it with the person. Let them know what your fears are and help each other get past them. We all keep forgetting that a relationship takes two people who actively care about each others feelings that we want to know what those feelings are and how we can overcome them together. If you leave them out and try to only deal with them yourself, it will eventually create issues but also on the other point you must also be willing to deal with it yourself and not expect someone to solve them for you for that will never happen. As for trust earned or given, in my opinion it has to be given and given freely. Nothing is more frustrating in getting to know someone if you are constantly worried that someone is cheating or lying to you. It ends the relationship before it can ever take root. My best advice is not look at dating someone for a relationship but rather date someone to get to know as a friend and let it grow into a relationship. I think we can all say that if the friendship is not there the relationship never lasts. I hope this helps

Ok groupies. What is a man looking for on a first date, besides the obvious? Posted: 8/25/2005 4:36:34 PM
Well lets face it. This going to be different for everyone. Depending on what you both are looking for and I mean to stress both. When you are with someone you feed of each other. Personlity, body language dictates a lot on how the date is going to proceed. As for me, I can say that I am not the dating type. Not saying that I am not looking to date someone but more that I am not looking to date a person in which the relationship is going to go no where. Taking a lesson from the world as they say, if you dont have expectations then you won't be disappointed with the result. I go in not expecting anything but if there seems a possibility of the chance that our personalities coincide and future goals are on the same line. I will start moving the questions to see if this has any possible future. Not saying this happens all on one date. Thats pretty impossible at times but there has to be a possible light in the tunnel. I just think the best approach is to just have fun and enjoy the conversation ( big plus she participates in the conversation ) I know I like to talk but on the other side I don't like to talk if that person not engaging. But I think what you are really looking for is do we want sex!!! Well have to say this, we are not going to turn it down but for myself its not the reason that I am there.

She's driving me crazy Posted: 8/24/2005 1:17:00 PM
Well for one I would no longer take any cash with you. Use the debit card. Go to the bank and open an account that will allow you more transactions without being charged to the hilt. I also have to agree with the last post. Give her some choices and make her choose one. You can't think of her as your little child anymore. She is approaching adulthood and you need to treat her as one. If you don't she will always walk over you. If you give her the responisbility she will learn. You might not like the decision that she has made and most importantly you can not try to convience her that her decision is wrong. She needs to find that out for herself. It is hard to let go but in this case I don't see any other alternative. Best of luck

Question for 30 to 40 year old men who go to clubs/bars. Posted: 8/22/2005 4:09:10 PM
Ok from a males perspective. Do we fear attractive women at bars? I can say that some would say yes. Expecially when we think she is out of our league. Not that we wouldn't find you interesting, attractive or not worth getting to know you. It is all a confidence issue and also a little known fact that everytime we did, we got shot down pretty good. Not everyone can handle rejection very well and after a while we start to think of our limitations and approach a type of person that we know has at least a chance. On another note, why wait for the man to make the move. I can tell you this as a fact, that all men admire and respond positively to a women who will make the first move. We do not get intimidated by it, it actually perks our interest way up. Think about it, doesn't it take the edge off when a man you think is attractive approaches you. This works both ways, a man is just as nervous about making that first step as any women is. Another note: meeting in a bar or club, we all have history here. Its something we all know has a very slim chance of success. Bars and clubs at this point of our lives is more of a time for some fun, relaxation and time to hang out with our friends. We are not going there to get as they say hooked up but things do happen. We just not might be looking but rather just admiring the view.

i have dated a guy for a while he .... Posted: 8/18/2005 3:18:02 PM
I think Canadian_Hottie hit it on the mark. Just meet casually. Dinner, or go to a park or some kind of event where the kids can play and you can play with them. No staying over and spending the weekend. I would not even stay at the house after the kids went to sleep, still gives the wrong impression in my mind. I also agree with her when she says not to get physical in front of the kids. I would also say it is prudent to make the ground rules quite clear between the both of you before you meet them.

Do You Forgive? Posted: 8/18/2005 2:55:50 PM
Did once, tried to make it work. Never did. Couldn't get past the fact, complete loss of trust issue. Wish you luck but something needs to change. The relationship obviously broke down somewhere and there is no need to point fingers for it doesn't solve anything. If I were you and if you really wanted to see if you could save your marriage. First both agree to go to counseling, next one of you should move out of the house. You need to be apart from each other and then next to to start your relationship back at the begining. Go back to just dating each other, go out to dinners, movies, do the stuff that we all took for granted. Biggest thing is to talk to each other, have converstations. You can't have much of a conversation when you see that person every day of your life. You need to remember why it is the both of you loved each other enough to get into the relationship in the first place.

Tough decision Kimberly4u but I think you already know what you should do. You are just not ready to be in the mix. You have been in an on and off relationship for a year, states that pretty well. Kids are something that have to be taken very seriously. They attach themselves to people very quickly, faster than we could ever imagine. This is very evident in the fact of their age 2 and 5. They just do not have the capicity to distinguish the difference at this age. If I were dating someone who has children, I would insist not meeting them until we have solidified the relationship. I know it sounds crappy but you have to take all the people involved when coming to a decision. Have you even thought of how they are going to react with someone who is not their mother sleeping with thier father? As far as his ex is concerned, I don't think that she might have a problem with the two of you being together. If they were my children, I would insist that while they are with her that she does not bring anyone into the picture that could confuse them. This would also apply to myself. They are too young to understand this type of relationship and if anyone says they can are thinking only of themselves and not to the benefit of the children. So I say to tell him you are just not ready. On top of that you are only very young and you need to answer yourself, Are you ready to make this type of comittment and choice? DO you want to be thought of as the step mother for that is what they are going to think of you. Hope this helps

Need HONEST Answers Here!!!! Posted: 7/26/2005 4:24:42 PM
Do we have sex on the brain. I would say we do and to be more to the point we all do. I do not know anyone who does not think about it several times in a day, expecially when its with someone you are interested in. We all do it subconsciously and we all fantasize about it. But if you want to know if he is interested in more than sex when he is talking or spending time with you. Then the answer is simple, he is going to ask questions that are about you. Your likes, dislikes, your personality, the works. If he doesn't then he is obviously not looking at anything more meaningful or does not have the maturity to know the difference.

darn trojan horses! Posted: 7/26/2005 3:40:16 PM
AVG the free edition will allow you to delete the quarantined items just as any other virus scanner does. It will alwasy quarantine and then wait for you to delete them. To do this open your AVG scanner select view the test center console and select the virus vault within this screen it will allow you to select the files quarantined and delete them from your computer. There is no worry that these files will infect your computer while they remain there but I would suggest removing them at some point to keep your computer free of unwanted files. Also as I note I work with computers and have used several different types of anti virus software. Avg is one of the best that I have seen or used. Far better than anything supplied by McAfee or by Norton. Detects better and prtotects better than both combined.
