Bah. Don't listen to them. DVDs. :laugh2: Get a 720K formatted DOS floppy disk, and just keep transferring the stuff piece by piece. It's great exercise running back and forth 30 thousand times. ;D |

I've never run into an ISP around here that requires any config changes when installing a router. Even if the router solution isn't the best one for you for this data transfer, it might be a good idea to install it anyway due to the fact that it is a hardware firewall and will protect you from internet bad guys. But, network security is a whole other thread... |

Imagine actually being able to hear your data transferring!!! I know you're a young buck, so you may need to look some of these up and look at the capacity/transfer rate to fully appreciate the joke. :) |

Most isp's allow for "simple" e-mail server config when directly connected to the internet - you just use "mail" as the server name. When you connect through a router that generally won't work and you have to supply the full, actual server name. Here in Canada on shaw cable an example would be: simple server config = shawmail full server config = shawmail.ok.shawcable.net You could also use a crossover network cable to directly connect the network cards on each computer and transfer files. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: dpz147 on May 01, 2006, 03:43:15 pm --- --- Quote from: _Iz- on May 01, 2006, 03:10:39 pm ---Your e-mail most likely doesn't work behind the router due to the configuration in your e-mail client. --- End quote --- I can't speak for how it works in Canada, but in the US you just set the pop and smtp servers in your email client the same as you would without a router.

He is trying NOT to get on the internet (i assume to avoid spyware/virus problems)...but I do like the idea of the crossover cable....probably the easiest idea yet. |
