this is supposed to work well http://www.hauppauge.com/html/mediamvp_datasheet.htm

now I am able to send my smb.conf file in full without error. I don't think I made any changes(not sure) edit added later// I think I changed this line, I had it set to low print conn.recv ( 100 ) I think that sets the maximum amount of bytes the server will accept

Sending data directly from comuter to computer is really cool(I must be a geek). Here is what i am using for my server #!/usr/bin/env python # this is the server to send a text file import sys import socket # creates a socket mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM ) # the sys.argv() allows me to specifie a port to listen on mySocket.bind ( ( '', int(sys.argv[1]) ) ) mySocket.listen ( 1 ) # listening loop while True: conn, addr = mySocket.accept() print 'We have opened a connection with', addr print conn.recv ( 100 ) #conn.send ("") conn.close() this is the clie

I was using drpython on my windows box. I think I just cut and pasted directly from this tutorial.

What are smart quotes?

I am not sure what the problem was. I deleted and retyped that last part of the code, but I used double quotes(I like the look) and it is working. Every now and again I get those odd sytax errors. retryping it the same way seems to solve them. It does not make any sence.

I am getting a syntax error when trying to run the client software. below is what I have #!/usr/bin/env python # this is the client import socket import sys # create a socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) # connect to server host = sys.argv[1] # server address port = int(sys.argv[2]) # server port s.connect((host, port)) s.send(sys.argv[3]) # send test string # read echo i = 0 while(1): data = s.recv(1000000) # read up to 1000000 bytes i += 1 if (i < 5): print data if not data: # if end of data, leave loop break print ’received’, len(data), ’bytesâ

I have not done any programming in about 6 months. I am feeling very rusty, basic syntax is giving me a hard time. None the less, I am trying to follow this tutorial. http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:LDExvZ...us&ct=clnk&cd=1

thanks guys, I will google both "socket programming" and "twisted" .

I have been messing around with acronis the past two days. I think I like it.

I am trying to make a backup solution for a business project of mine. I need a way to moniter my customers backups, make sure everything keeps working properly. My first thought was to set up something like vnc that would allow me to remotely check my clients computers. My wife pointed out, I may not want that kind of control. If something goes wrong the customer will blame me. That is not a very efficient use of my time, plus it would be a little intrusive to them. My next thought was to have a program do some simple checks of disk space, files saved and other things I would want to moniter.

"doe" good point :-)

maybe it does have a rotate feature, if so I have not yet found it. vb script might be more practical and a better way to go; I am just biased to python :-)

I came up with an idea(not totally original) for a service I could offer small businesses in my town. My market would be small businesses who run everything from a single computer. A lot of these people would be in a lot of trouble if they lost everything: quickbooks, contacts, software specific to their business, business documents. My idea would be to install a second harddrive and “acronis true image home edition†in my clients computers. I could then do a complete backup to the second harddrive using acronis, then setup a schedule to do incremental backups. If their harddrive failed, I

If she has a hardware problem, she may try a usb keyboard and mouse; that may solve her problem. Windows may also be corrupt, if so a good reinstall is always an option.

nice job :-) I love the fact with open source changes can be made so easily(reletively). Try doing that on your windows operating system.

what am I even supposed to google, I don't seem to have anything unique R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {107F4973-8F98-866E-C1AF-828AD0A2FB9F} - (no file) R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file) am I supposed to be looking for something in the registry? I have read over the r3 section of the tutorial, but am not really following it

isn't my only 03 for my google tool bar, if so isn't that not malware?

after using killbox properly to remove the file, everything seems to be working well. If anyone cares to look, here is the final hjt log. Thanks again Matt, that tutorial is real easy to follow. Without it I would have had no idea where to start.

I tried to delete the EQMini.dll using pocket killbox versio 2.0.0.648. I chose the option delete at next reboot. One of two things seemed to happen. killbox did not delete the file, or second it did delete the file, but some process recreated it. I am tempted to boot the machine witrh linux and try and remove it that way. I will wait and see if I get some advice from an expert. Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks :-) edit added later// I think the problem may have been I used killbox incorrectly. I think I just checked delete at next reboot, but did not click on "delete file". In esse

I am not sure why, but using IE6, I get the same error you get. It does not seem to be a problem with your computer. As a work around firefox is able to save it without a problem.

I am kind of going throuth the tutorial, this is the first entry that I think may need to be looked at closer. I am not really sure though O20 - AppInit_DLLs: khbhckoa.dll,EQMini.dll edit added later// I googled eqmini, and it seemed to have been my culprit. It made reference to both of the popups I am getting. At this point what should I do, can I just delete it using hjt? edit added later// would I need to use something like "killbox" to remove this? Is so does khbhckoa.dll also need to be removed? I can't find anything on it using google.
