iloveboxcars Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 anyone know if there is a complete list of words banned from use in an AIM screen name? i just tried making one with a word that absolutely shouldn't be used by anyone else, but it says its already taken. no matter how many numbers i place after it etc. i can only assume they added it to the "banned word" list. i cannot find this list anywhere, any help?

lord_casek Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Enabling WEP Logon to your routers settings. normally by opening the following web page http://192.168.1.1 password should be admin 1. Now click on the "wireless" tab 2. Click on the "Wireless Security" sub tab 3. In "security mode" select "WEP" 4. Leave the "default transmit key" as it is 5. Change "WEP Encyrption" to "128 bit" 6. In the "Passphrase" enter anything you want. Make it about 8 characters long 7. Press "Generate" and you will see Key 1, 2, 3 and 4 now have 26 Digits in each. Congratulations you have now secured your router and gernated your WEP key. 8. Now you have 4 keys, you only need one to get the PSP online. But which one??? Easy. Above where, it says "Default Transmit key" and a number, 1-4. The number that selected is the Key you need to use i.e if 1 is selected use the letters in Key 1. Other things to secure your network Hide the SSID This is your wireless network ID. Turning off SSID Broadcast will mean people cannot see or find your network. Sure they still can but they need to really know what they are doing and have the right tools. This can be disabled from the Wireless tab. Just change Wireless SSID Broadcast to Disable. Change your SSID name From the Wireless tab change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) from the default. Leaving it as the default will make it easy to find even if you disable the SSID Broardcast.

(and how would i install the RAM sticks?) look up your model via google. then use http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/default.aspx to get to the place you install ram in a laptop, i think you have to pull the keyboard. you should probably pay extra and let circuit city do it. or maybe find a little computer shop (mom an pop style) and buy the ram and then ask them how much they would charge to drop it in. shouldn't take them more than five minutes.

Dial-up is the best thing in the world for techs because people can not or i should say do not have the time to get the updates they need to stay secure just had a friends mothers friend give me a call saying my computer is full of viruses and spyware can you come fix it?? (so i take my trusty UBCD and latest Autopatcher disk and a couple others. I get there this computer was blasted and could not even boot into windows login screen for 5 minutes finally get it up take a look around antivirus had expired like 2 years ago ( they were using avast!) that was a good sign. So i pop in my ultimate boot cd blast all the crap away boot back into windows check the version they were running ( it was running sp1 straight off the cd never been updated) WOW so i pop in AP 20 minutes later with all the updates installed also they were running an old ass version of Netscape Navigator so i throw Firefox on there with all the plugins and shit I walk out with a quick $100:lol: Its a brand new computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
