shanenin Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 just a thought. Are you and your son in the same residence? If you are, why don't your share the high speed connection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martymas Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 hi all im comming to the thread and try to explain how this thing is done i believe this is how the hackers operate in this case we both need to disable our fire walls then i give him my isp address and he down loads through my isp to my desk top.as i do not know weather this works or notmy compt is in his hands he says internet gamers do it all the time the problem is you need to know the person downloading to your compt because if they are naughty naughty they can hack you or send you a present [virus]so if any one on the board has this knowledgecan you explain thanksmarty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 you can definately safely connect your computers. I do not see you gaining any speed. You will still be transfering the file from him at dial up speed. You will not be getting the file any quicker getting it form him then downloading it yourself.if you use the program hamachi to make the connection between your computers, you do not even have to open any ports or disable your firewall. Once your computers are connected, you can just use simple windows file sharing to make transfers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martymas Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 hi shaneninthanks for your infothe program i need takes me 8 hrs on dial up but it takes 30ms on broad band my son thought it would help me if he downloaded it to my desk top on broad band.are you saying the speed is governed by the lowest point [dialup ] i need to learn this as it is something new for me but i appreciate your post thanksmarty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 exactly. No matter how it gets into your house, no matter what method used, it can only go as fast as your dial up connection. I recommend using the sneakernet :-) have him download it, put it on a drive or disk, then walk it over to your house. I am sure you already thought of that idea.
