Re: [techtalk] cdrom help
My first piece of advice would be to ask this question on a Windows help list. This list is dedicated to Linux, which has no Explorer, no "My Compute", and generally none of the problems you describe. I know that isn't a terribly helpful answer, but most folks here would advise you to change operating systems. Best, Caity Caitlyn M.

I rcently installed a cdrom drive into my computer and it reconies it. But everytime i try to open "my computer" it freezes up. This also happens when i try to oopen explorer or anything of the such that allows me to look at the contents of my computer. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

This is the simplest and easiest route, which is probably a good thing since you're still learning the basics. Be aware, however, that the lack of inbound connections, while simplifying everything, will prevent you from running public services on your machine, such as a web server. This may not matter to you, but before you decide to take this route you should be aware of the limitation.

[techtalk] More filtering
We have a rather overzealous computer teacher/jewelry shop owner at my school, who has now taken up a jihad against sites that kids goto like shockwave.com, hotmail.com, aol.com, alt.sex.pudgy.sheep, etc. What is a freeware/VERY low cost (We're too ghetto and cheap to pay for software :( ), that can block certain sites on a WinNT machine (locally based)? I would say that we could do something on the proxy side BUT we are phasing out proxies and not all of our teachers share the same... enthusiasm as mine for blocking these... distracting sites. One of our students who is a w4r3z k1ng tried to warez us some or find a crack, but he failed. I said that they wouldn't find any blocking software since most warezers also happen to have a very large pr0n collection =D - Kath
RE: [techtalk] Basic networking
The LinkSys, and other cable/DSL routers, let you map ports so you can run servers and do inbound connections. It takes extra configuration, but when you're ready to do this, you'll understand how to map the ports.
