yes for instance open hyperterminal type any name hit ok or whatever and click drop down list and select TCP/IP (Winsock) and type in your IP and hit ok...now your kinda logged onto your router or modem depending on what you have

So is there anyways to at least open a port?

You could call your ISP and ask.

When I got my DSL installed last year, my speeds were a horrible 384/128 when it was advertised at 1.5/128. I knew something was wrong because the Central Office was right down the street so I called tech support and the first guy told me that was the best they could do and he had never heard of the term "capped" etc blah blah blah. I called again the next evening and this time around they were willing to help me. Long story short, 48 hours later I was crusing at 1.4 mbps and still am :)

    • PlayStation's first wireless fight stick faces long wait, launching in 2026

      By zikalify · Posted

      PlayStation's first wireless fight stick faces long wait, launching in 2026 by Paul Hill Sony has unveiled the FlexStrike wireless fight stick previously known as Project Defiant. Its unveiling marks the PlayStation’s first-ever proprietary fight stick controller. Unfortunately for anyone hoping to get their hands on it soon, Sony won’t be releasing it until 2026, creating a significant wait for eager fighting game fans. Though its release is still some time away, a display unit will be shown off at Evo 2025 (August 1-3). Sony notes that this displayed version of the FlexStrike may not represent the final product. As a bit of background, PlayStation gamers can already get third-party fight sticks, this marks Sony's first official entry into the market. The FlexStrike will be compatible with PS5 and PC via wired connection or wirelessly with PlayStation Link. It features mechanical switch buttons and toolless swappable restrictor gates (square, circle, octagon) with built-in storage. You can also use simultaneous PlayStation Link audio for connecting FlexStrike and a Pulse headset/earbuds on PS5 with a single USB adapter. Sony also mentions that there will be support for two FlexStrike sticks via a single PS Link USB adapter for local multiplayer and includes all DualSense Controller inputs (except directional pad via lever and mute button), plus a touchpad. The controls are adjustable with a built-in level mode switch and a lock button to prevent accidental inputs. So that it’s comfortable to use, Sony has opted for an ergonomic design with angled surfaces and a non-slip base. While we know from Sony that the FlexStrike wireless fight stick is confirmed for a 2026 release, we do not know which day or month to expect it on. Such a late entry into this market means that Sony will have already lost customers who have already invested in fight sticks from other manufacturers. For more information, keep your eyes peeled to Evo 2025 to see what Sony reveals. The company also recommends signing up for news updates on its official FlexStrike website.

      LTSC has the same TPM requirement as other Windows 11 versions. Business SKUs, which obviously include LTSC, don't get Windows Recall. Recall can be removed for good quite easily if you really don't trust Microsoft. Not that it affects you anyway. Many reasons to switch to Linux, just not what you've called out!

      ISTM the bigger the number gap in an update the greater number of users that are impacted or benefit from the update. I have never found a two decimal place software update to be beneficial to the majority of the software users.
