Well...thats going to suck for people who want to visit your site when you are offline :)

You'll need web server software like Apache, and if you want PHP, you'll need MySql and some other software too. Also, being on a 56k will mean your bandwidth will be sucked up by anyone visiting your site, so your online speeds will suffer too.

You would need webserver software like Apache and possibly a DNS daemon if you want a domain name.

Do a search an google for apache and DNS (bind) howto's

ah.. that sucks... i cant even get broadband out here either... humm, well its worth having a go at

Apache can be seen as better because its open source (someone correct me if im wrong), but IIS can be good too if its secured properly, i installed IIS on my win2k server yesterday after previously having apache.

I found that PHP was easier to set up on IIS than Apache, but i think theres bundles you can download that have apache, mysql and php all put together, but im unsure if im making this up and turning insane, *think* ive seen that before.

Here is where I am at....I have IIS installed. Localhost works. But when I type in my ip, still nothing. I think it is because of my router, is there any ports that need to be fowarded?

Only port 80 i thought, could be wrong though.

If you use frontpage I'll slap you. :D If you can, use another WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver. From experience, frontpage produces too much non-standard code which makes it more difficult to do a switch from IIS to Apache.

For information about setting up Apache + PHP + mySQL in Linux, Go Here. I think apache has a modules that will support coldfusion. I've never used code fusion before so I could be wrong.

well, not ANYONE connected to the internet can run a webserver.

you have to be able to have incoming connections on port 80 (by default). if your server is set up on port 80 they can just type your ip (like http://1.1.1.1)

you COULD run it on a different port if port 80 is blocked (as some cable co's do)..for example, port 8080 would be http://1.1.1.1:8080

and if you want a really simple webserver so you don't have to deal with apache/IIS...if you just want to host files that don't require php or mysql or any of that, try analogx simpleserver:www http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/n...twork/sswww.htm

    • I have been on Linux Mint full-time since Jan 2019. while there is a learning curve, it's worth it if you can make the switch, which I can. I mainly browse web, play some games (generally Lutris(Windows games), or through emulators (MAME/Mesen/Flycast etc) etc), and use a small amount of Windows programs (Foobar2000/7-zip/WinRAR/ImgBurn etc) etc. it's nice to dodge the bloat/BS of Windows as you can really feel Linux is all around faster, especially certain things. p.s. recently I enabled NTSync for games since Linux Mint recently offered the 6.14 kernel, which has NTSync support (it's not enabled by default though but you can enable it temporarily for your current boot of the OS through 'sudo modprobe ntsync')
    • A rotten article full of handwaving of anti-consumer practices. Aside from the fact that no, not even close to every piece of major software collects information about its users, ethical developers make such telemetry opt-in and allow it to be completely disabled. To use KDE Plasma as an example, you're shown a greeter upon first boot that gives users the option to send the developers telemetry, with the default being off and 'off' actually meaning off. Windows 10 has never offered that capability - only a promise that Microsoft will slurp up less of your data if you spend time tweaking 50 different privacy settings. There is still absolutely no way to completely opt out of sending Microsoft telemetry in any version of Windows 10 (or 11, naturally). Even using group policy in Enterprise editions only allows you to reduce telemetry to the bare minimum. Home-focused editions don't even get that option. Articles like this dismissing user privacy concerns as "FUD" are a part of the reason Microsoft felt confident enough to go so much further with Windows 11. I guess you get what you deserve in that respect. Personally, I finally made the move to Linux after 15 years or so of dabbling with it, but never really considering a permanent switch. Enjoy your bright, shiny Windows future. You asked for it, after all.
    • Microsoft shares Defender update for new Windows 11/10 ISO installs by Sayan Sen Aside from new Windows setup and recovery updates, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this week. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.452.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor and phishing exploits, trojans, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
    • Probably.   You'll probably want to see what channels you'd pick up by entering your zip code here... https://www.channelmaster.com/pages/free-tv-channels   With respect to the antenna and box you selected... no idea.  They are both non-brand names and cheap.  So...sure.  I have no idea how that box records...but it's listed as a feature. Also...I have no recommendations.  I haven't recorded from a cable box (ClearQAM) in over 10 years (maybe 20?).  This was Windows Media Center/MythTV days.  My Hauppauge is just collecting dust somewhere in my expansion slot bin.
