thread581-1739531 My original BT hub died with an electric spike. After finding that out, the engineer gave me a new Home Hub 5 replacing the Home Hub 3. The HH5 doesn't require a separate router for Infinity fibre optic like the HH3. After the HH5 was up and running, I tried my original game...

I need to connect to my second pc from my first pc using a game client that connects using an external IP. Both my pcs are behind the BT hub which is set to route all incoming traffic to the first pc. The BT hub doesn't allow loopback and I can't connect at a local level using 192.168.x.x...

How do I add a sound to a third party program using Windows AppEvent sounds ? I understand where in the registry the actual sound would be placed but how does windows see the event ? I use a remote hosted forum and was looking to assign a "you've got mail" type .wav file when the inbox is...

Hi. Has anyone gone forward and tried Delphi 2009 ? I see its being pushed on the Codegear site. I'd be particularly interested in informed Tek Tips users opinions on this product. My last foray was with Delphi 5 so I'm a bit behind the times with the line.

Hi all. I'm pulling my hair out with RSS feeds. I've searched all over and tried all sorts. Can the lucid help from tek tips help me ? Using the line below and adding a real path, why doesn't it show ? Am I being really dim here ? Yes, probably ! <link rel="alternate"...

Is it possible to create a function in Excel and assign it to a button ? The function would, at minimum, be to hide several columns or, at best, be able to change a worksheet to a printable layout rather than the onscreen view. The reason behind this is that I have pricelists on screen that I...

Sorry about the weird subject description. Basically I'm asking is there a way to have a program sit on top of a screen that has been taken by a program. Dos can run in full screen mode and "take" the screen. Some other programmes such as games also set the screen to their own required...
