inbound needs a nerd

hello am crew

we here at inbound are having trouble with our wireless internet.

seems we need to put a key code on our net so no one else can use it but we dont know how to set it up properly. 

please help

love from simon and curt

What kind of ADSL modem/router are you using? Have you got the manual for it? If not you can probably check on the manufacturers website once you find out what model it is...

netgear 54mbps wireless adsl modem router DG834G

it says on the modem a default access -  http://192.168.0.1

plus a user name and password is provided

Shit man I'd secure your wireless connection ASAP

You want to use a network cable plugged straight into your router while setting up a wireless connection

Open http://192.168.0.1 in Firefox, username: admin password: password

Goto one of the wireless links on the left, setup your SSID (network name) as say LukeSkywalker and enable WPA-PSK security, then enter encryption key e.g. princessleia. Apply it all and you're done.

What mylo said.

Bloody nerd!

well i did that thanks nerds

lets hope it worked

*parks out front to rape internets*

please do myles

we have moved to 611 sth rd parsley gardens

Lies! It's on my network!

so nerds can u get on , on ur computers?

im trying at home doesnt seem to be working

 

You have confused him now Oli.

Simmo - don't worry, you're safe

thanks nerds

2moro t work ill see if i can get on the new wireless set up and give u nerds a nerdport

I'll probably be by tomorrow to have a squiz at that Killing Sheep number, so I'll see if I can Hax my way in while I'm there.

i still need a nerd to come in and sus this out, mynerdism is not as high as some

i just checked out my settings if this helps.

Security Options: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)

WPA-PSK Security Encryption
Network Key (8 ~ 63 characters):  password_05*wpa-psk

All fixed now.

good work man what was it (apart from Windows)?

wow natho is a nerd, so is roost. combined nerds make light hands of a heavy job

haha classic, natho is such a nerd he gave me his new macbook

haha classic, natho is such a nerd he gave me his new macbook

haha, lucky I remembered.

good work man what was it (apart from Windows)?

It was because the laptop is old, so is the internal wireless card. Since WPA authentication is relatively new, the laptop couldn't handle using anything other than WEP. I just changed it to WEP and used the random HEX key generator to make a passcode. Worked from both the laptop and my macbook then, so it should be all sweet.

i think i may need a nerd to pop into my shop...

ive just re formatted the laptop with xp pro and added the drivers etc... not sure about the wireless though. ive got it connecting so i guess i should do as done before and make sure there is an access key etc

wow natho is a nerd, so is roost. combined nerds make light hands of a heavy job

nerds are so fucking handy!

ok im after a version of windows msn for me lappy, i went to download one and it said my xp pro  is too old.  its about 6 or 7 yrs old

any ideas?

http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=msnm

try here, version 7.5

tried, then downloads and says to keep using u must download newer version. then the newer version says pc is too old

Just guessing, but maybe you need to update Xp first.

 Yeah download the service packs

yesterday i reformatted and reinstalled xp.

maybe i need a dinosaur version of msn

Try one of these maybe?

Pidgin looks cool...

Download and install XP SP3 first: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&DisplayLang=en

E=mc square. Doink.

I fit the description. But dont meet the requirements.

Pidgin... Use that.

Official clients are full of security problems cause they get targeted all the time, a bit like Internet Exploder.

i use pidgin at work, lots of different connection types in the one program... nifty. Doesn't have all the extra crap like webcam, file transer etc that msn has however.

im thinking i might haver to do the reinstall of xp as mylo has stated.. this verson im using seems like it doesnt want to run all the newer downloads.

This site has all the fixes you could ever need.

nerds rule

i've got a pocket protector somewhere i'll bring it in and have a look

the combination of many nerds has created this beast of a laptop and projected it to another level.

big ups all nerds involved

 

No. 192.168.0.1 is a private address on your local network.

If they crack your WEP/WPA key = yes

If they know your WAN IP and you havent changed your modem/router login/password = yes

If you want to bolster your network security further, change the router login to something other than default and enable MAC address access list and include all the MAC adresses of the clients which will be allowed to connect.

For your msn problem.

You can try turning off jave & active X in your browser (MS site will then have NFI abouyt what OS version you have) and download msn live or wtf its called.

exctact the files from the *.exe using winrar, winzip or 7zip etc etc (Can't auto-run cos it will detect your OS version) and then run the setup manually (there will be a setup.exe or some such where ever you extracted the fiels to)

Or you can download all MS updates etc without the wga bullshit here:

Pretty sure you have to be physically connected to the router to get to the router settings.

Everything seems to be working fine now, was just XP being a joke and not allowing anyone to enter the WEP key.

nup. can go by wifi, its the default setting on any router.

last house i was at had phone/router connection in the kitchen/entertaining room out back, while i setup my machine in the decks room via wifi.

Yep wifi administration is doable most definitely. The amount of clueless morons out here running wireless connections that I steal with admin/admin as login is rather amusing. I'm tempted to lock them out, allow only my MAC address and steal all their internetz for myself. Hell they might even be clueless enough to not know about the factory reset button as well. *evil laugh*

Just use it for free, if they're sharing it with everyone why punish them for it?

I'm just kidding man. I'm not a cunt I wouldn't really do that!

Besides, it might make them take some action and get someone in who knows what they're doing and WEP it up, which I definitely don't want!

Good man.

Anyway, we should assume that people actually want their networks open. After all your computer is being offered an address on their network, that means they are offering it to you. It's an invitation!





At least that's how one can feel good about it.

but officer they invited me to steal their bandwidth!

Seriously though.

If someone had their car parked and idling with the keys in it in a car park, with a sign saying "here's a car, you can use it if you want to" then what's the problem with taking it (whether they're in the passenger seat with you or not doesn't matter).

Tis also fun to print stuff on their printers too, that always make me giggle.

As for wireless I'd try and use WPA2-PSK if you can. I have seen WEP get cracked in as little as 4 minutes.
There are even linux live cd's that make it easy for someone relatively inexperienced to do.

Yeah they can't use WPA because the laptop wireless card is too old as said earlier. It would be easy enough to buy one, but there isn't much of a point as it is more than likely that people wont be hacking into Inbounds wireless.

good morning massive nerds

i just got a virus on the inbound laptop so after backing up all my files i have decided to re format the lappy

after the formatting ,the re install of files from the windows xp disc ends up skipping a few of the files so when it tries to set up windows it says the file "  whatever its called" is corrupt or missing and windows cannot continue the set up.

basically the computer is useless and i dont know what to do

any ideas?

Good afternoon.

It sounds like either the disk or the cd drive are fucked. The cd drive might seem to work normally, but if it's a bit screwed then the install will usually fuck up one way or another...

So could a flash drive with Windows work as a boot disc then?

Sounds like a stab in the dark imo.

ill retry the hole process again to seeif it does it again

pretty sure its not thew disc, i used it 3 months ago

Did you reformat the old harddrive properly? Could still be the disk. I *may* be heading into the city later today. I'll bring my disk if I come in.

On that note, can I use my XP disk with someone else's code in the install sequence. Pretty sure you can but I lost mine ages ago.

i just gotit re formatted and the xp is working yay

now i just gotta get this thing set up to work

so many dramas please pop in nerds

Hi if had seen this post earlier I would have dropped by at lunch.

Sarge which porn sites were you on to get infected?

Get onto a good antivirus (e.g. NOD32) when you're back up mate

it wanst me it was actually filter and another customer,

they googled for pics of crystal forskutt naked and clicked on a page the wham it got the virus

so look out kids

anyway that is gone now but i cant get the net workin( to download xp service pack 3) cause the screen resoloution wont change to a smaller size so all the text etc will fit on screen. tried display options / qualities / monitor selects/  reso stays at small 640 x 700 or something.

doing my head in

Sounds like you need the correct driver for the video card/onboard video that you have got on that laptop.

You can use any OEM key with any OEM disc and any retail key with any retail disc. OEM keys won't work with retail discs and vice versa.

thanks massive nerds

speaking of nerds, khem u are so overdue a visit to inbound

i know, i know... will probably be in town one day this week...



what days are you workin?

every day mate

if u cant make it maybe pop in before fierce friday we are having a drink up!

nice one, will pop in sometime this week for sure!

this thread is making me hot    ... any of you nerds wear glasses?  .... *mmmm boys with glasses*

  ... hehe sorry ... you can go back to your nerd talk now =)

no but i m sure khem does

i can find some if neccassary

this thread is making me hot    ... any of you nerds wear glasses?  .... *mmmm boys with glasses*

Do beer goggles count?

i wear beer goggles to often

speaking of nerds, khem u are so overdue a visit to inbound

friday is the day, lock it in!

ok now it seems the power cord on our western digital hard drive has died in the ass (the green light no longer turns on) so i cant turn the hard drive on to get my files off it.

i took it back to a and r and they said they cant get a replacement cord, they have to replace the entire hard drive with a new one!

so i need a power lead to plug into the external hard drive so i can grab all my files off it before i take it back to the place of purchase

can anyone lend me a power cord for a day??

I don't know if the powercord from my WD external will work, but I'll bring it around anyway.

its got the round end with the 5 prongs and a black square bit in the middle

Those ones I posted will all burn dual layer too just in case you missed that, just gotta get dual layer disks obviously.

so do any of the nerds know how to put track markers in on a mix using sound forge?

that was interesting, i used the soundforge method and basically it cuts it up into seperate audio files. so its basically the same as when i use the cut  / copy and paste method.

but now it saved them as wav files, with a dud file name, ie this one is the customers name with a number next to it. it was an old cassette tape which i recorded as a 320 so maybe i need to change a setting so it matches the recording size i made. also  now i have to re do tha tracknames aswell on the corresponding audio files.

so yes it worked thanks khem. i was thinking there should be a way where u just select the track markers in the mix and then save it and then its done, not exporting each region to a separate audio file.

i was thinking there should be a way where u just select the track markers in the mix and then save it and then its done, not exporting each region to a separate audio file.

I think you can export the track markers as a cue sheet? That would keep it as a single file yet tell a burner where in the duration to number the separate tracks.

Edit: I just did a Google and found this:

if you want to put track breaks visually, use sony's (sound forge) other product, cd architect. works great. new version just came out too.

it will generate a cue for you and/or burn the cd with the track breaks.

all you need to do is hit the letter "t" every place you want a track break.

I don't have SF8 installed at the moment to test it though, but that sounds like an easier way.


The problem you'll likely get when you're burning individual WAV tracks is a short gap between the tracks, which in a mix is something you definitely don't want! Even if you set Nero to 0 second gaps it will still have a tiny pause.

Use a program like this: http://etree.org/feurio.html or the audio player Foobar2000, which has a gapless write to CD option and you'll have perfect continuous CDs.

hey nerds i have a problem with the mac - g4

so now it wont read any discs when i put them in the drive.

like the drive is not active anymore!

good morning nerds 

Morning dude!

Happy new years massive nerds!

Hey I need some help with my www.inbound-sound.com website

I need to find a new host for the site, as my previous host is no longer in action.

Can anyone suggest or help me with getting the site back up?

Cheers

I can help there.

The site seems to be up now. Can you get a copy of  everything there including the databases for your shop system?

wow it's back!

Yeah ill sort that for you mate, thanks very much

Oh no I need more help from my favourite nerds!

This one involves my pc desktop.

When I switch it on all of a sudden it isn't giving any signal to the screen (screen says no signal)

Computer seems to start up ok, but i've noticed it doesnt make the "beep" sound about 3 or 4 seconds into booting up like it used too.

I've had a quick look inside, and moved the ram to different slots to see if that helps, but it doesn't.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction with this would be great!

Thanks.

Computer seems to start up ok, but i've noticed it doesnt make the "beep" sound about 3 or 4 seconds into booting up like it used too.

Tried attaching another monitor? Used a different cable?

Does the PC have an external AGP/PCI-X graphics card or is it on board? Does it say no signal before you turn the computer on (assuming the monitor is on before the computer)?

Generally a screen saying "No Signal" will indicate it is not receiving any voltage via the XGA cable (to let the screen know the computer is on).

The lack of beeping doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, i've had it happen many a time.

It's a toughy but checking with another monitor and cables will give you a better idea of what is going on.

I've had that problem with a couple of different PC's and it might be worth checking the power supply. Check with a friend who has a spare one to swap in and see if that fixes the problem. The upside is that if it's the power supply you're only set back >$50 for a replacement.

i have switched the monitor leads, didnt make any difference.



it seem's like the monitor gets nothing at all, it does have power but doesn't respond to the pc signal in anyway, just wants to shut down (and displays no signal message)

if i just turn the screen on while the desktop is off it does exact same thing (displays no signal - then jsut shuts dwon again)

yeah it has an inbuilt graphics card .

Are any of the nerds kind enough to lend me an external video card so I can see if that's the issue.

I have a feeling it may be my video card.

Can you get the BIOS up if you hit F10?

Also, some motherboards have LEDs on them for diagnostic purposes that might show a "GPU dead" code. Check your board/manual.

It's not getting to POST, that's what the missing beep means. Happens with my PC if it hibernates, but fixes it if i turn it off and on.

Elimination of Power supply and vid card would be the way to go.

So it turns out the motherboard is cooked and i need a new one, lucky i can save the hard drive.
