Re: Time

What about women? How do they factor into this time ordeal? Surely it's not as simple as you describe??? Eh... what? Are you saying that women experience time differently than men, or that women change the way men perceive time? Please explain what you're getting at here. The latter. Though, after ...

Re: Cannot SSH into my machine [SOLVED]

Thanks for the help everyone! I appreciate all the detail. I have setup a reverse tunnel to solve my problem. Marking the thread as solved now.

Re: Cannot SSH into my machine

Some very lucky person has claimed port 22 :(. It may actually be the maintenance interface for the router itself. And no, they're *not* lucky. Using the standard port means they're guaranteed to get hammered 24x7 by brute force password cracking attempts for common account names (root, and popular...

Re: Cannot SSH into my machine

If you can't get a port-forward setup for your NAT to do logins from the outside-in then another potential solution is a reverse SSH tunnel. to get the connection established from the inside-out. Edit: Ah, saw that JBI was already on the reverse tunnel. I hope my link is at least helpful in backing...

Re: Cannot SSH into my machine

Make sure SELinux is set on permissive or disabled, otherwise this could explain your login problems. Specially if you're using a Red Hat based distro. SELinux is pretty much the first thing I disable (I run Fedora) when I do a fresh install. Make sure SELinux is set on permissive or disabled, othe...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm negotiating with the NAT lord... hopefully by Monday they'll have a yes/no answer.

Re: Cannot SSH into my machine

What's your local IP? If it's in the RFC 1918 address ranges (10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255) then you're behind a NAT and are probably out of luck: you'd need to get someone with access to the building's router to enable port forwarding for you, and...

Cannot SSH into my machine [SOLVED]

I'm not very knowledgeable with networking so I'm posting here for some help. Context : I'm setting up a home (linux) server to which I want to connect from work. I have a good ethernet connection but I live in a building that (presumably) shares the same IP as I do. I know my local IP. Goal : I wan...

Re: i7 4770K Overheating? BIOS Message and OCCT Results Ins

Reseat the heatsink, it's probably not making good contact. Does he need to go get thermal paste to do that? Right now he is just using the factory applied stuff that came on the heatsink. Yes, he would have to get new thermal paste. It's not very expensive to get some arctic silver thermal paste (...

Re: tech counsel - stuttering

I had a very similar problem a while ago (~1 year) and it came out of the blue. The issue for me was my wifi driver (took a long time to troubleshoot this). Are you using a wifi card?

Re: My PC powers on for a second and goes into a reboot loop

I actually had this problem for several months. It could come on at any time (and I guess your power outage might have been the last straw), but first I have to ask: did you overclock your cpu? Gigabyte boards are actually notorious for this boot cycle problem (EDIT: especially when the cpu is overc...

Re: First Time Builder Needs Less Than $400 Gaming PC

The build you posted seems reasonable for your budget. If you decide to go the AMD route, I would personally spend the money you save from the i3 on some more on hard drive space (depending on how you use your pc, of course). Also, do you have an ethernet connection? Because if you use wireless, tha...

Samsung GT 10.1 Banned in US

I did some preliminary searching on the forums and couldn't find anything on this topic (which I believe is important). Apple has, again, stomped hard on its competition . I own a GT 10.1 myself...words cannot express my frustration. The greatest irony comes from the horse's mouth: "...we need ...

Re: Video Issues

I'm not sure precisely what the issue could be... but I know that I had to turn off my integrated graphics before I could use my discrete graphics. Did you try disabling it in bios? There should be some setting in bios that tells the mobo to choose your graphics card over your integrated video. Puzz...

Re: upgraded to HD 7770, now PC won't POST

Did you try clearing CMOS? There should be a simple way to do it for your mobo.

EDIT: Clearing CMOS resets BIOS to its default settings. Worth a try for sure. I've had a similar problem in the past, and this helped me.
