Thanks for the explanation. I will have a deeper look at it.
I managed CentOS for more than two years. I say Linux is a mess because no one knows where files should be found, what settings should change, etc.
Take something as fundamental as Apache. Even if you read the docs of a distro...
Actually I have the opposite problem. I can see the user from the server but not the local account on the client PC
I'll summarise the setup cause, coincidentally, I noticed something else just now.
I have the server pc and the clients connected on a router.
Then I have ZeroTier running that...
No, i do not have crazy needs. I am the only person accessing the files.
I still have Win Server and I know all about permissions but in this case I can not make them work correctly. This is the problem I am facing https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/
Yes, now I have server 2022 but there is a mess with permissions and I can't figure out how to resolve it.
BTW, the machine works very well with 2022 but the permission thing drives me nuts
Hi,
I am fed up with the rubbish on Win11 and (less) on Win10 especially with telemetry and broken windoes images.
So, I am really considering installing Win 7 on a PC I use as a file server.
I know Win 7 does not receive any security updated but I was wondering if a good antivirus with...
Hi,
My setup has a PC that I use as a file server (running Windows Server 2022), a client PC (running Windows 10) and ZeroTier to create a private VPN.
I have shared three drives on the server and mapped them onto the client using the IP that ZeroTier produces.
I do not use Active directory...
I wouldn't say it is a server machine in terms of specs. It is a mini PC (AMD, 16GB mem, 2TB SSD) that I use as a file server.
I will do the system health check as you propose. It may help.
SMART shows very good health on all drives. The PC is new; probably 4-5 months old.
Haven't tried a...
Hi,
At home, I've got an AMD with 16GB memory that acts as my file server and hosts some VMs. It runs Windows 11.
Then, I use my laptop to connect to it via remote desktop connection when I want to use the VMs. The files are accessed via networked drives. I also use ZeroTier.
When I access...
Hi,
I've got an SSD drive in my laptop which is the windows drive as well.
When I run CrystalDiskInfo, it shows that the drive's health is Bad (0%) and flags up "critical warning".
HWiNFO64 also reports "drive failure".
However, disk management shows the drive and the partitions as healthy...
ZeroTier seems to work fine.
What I do not like is that it needs installation as an admin. I wanted to install it on my work laptop but I understand.
There is something that confuses me. After reading the documentation, I understand that zerotier creates a virtual encrypted VPN. That's the...
Yes, you are right. pinging no-ip returns the IP of protonvpn which is correct.
Following socK 's comment, I removed the port forwarding rule from the router. I will give ZeroTier a go.
Thanks
*** UPDATE ****
Oh, I forgot to mention that the PC that acts as a server in my setup runs ProtonVPN
I think this is an important detail but as said it worked a couple of times.
Yes, I've read a lot about attached on the default RDP port. But, as explained, 3389 is not open at all. Do you think this is still a problem?
I tried setting up a VPN but I found it really cumbersome. I tried OpenVPN.
I will check Zero-Tier, as grim4593 suggests although I do not know what it...
Hi there,
I have a PC that works as a server (Win 11) and another one (Win 10) I use to connect to the first one via RDC.
What I want to do is use RDC when I am away from home.
I have installed no-ip and got a custom domain. I have also configured the router to forward port 50000 to 3389 on...
Hi there,
I am looking for a wireless or bluetooth webcamera; ideally white :)
It seems impossible to find any. When I go to amazon and select the right filters, it still shows USB cameras.
Does anyone know any models?
Thanks
27" Curved Monitor and a USB Webcam.
It was used as a second monitor for a laptop but I didn't use it that much.

I am the same. I do not feel comfortable handing the passwords of my email accounts over to a 3rd party.
I've tried Thunderbird, BetterBird and all the birds around...none sync with Exchange server calendars correctly. Shame cause they are good pieces of software otherwise
I am frustrated with all the email clients I have tried.
They seem to be unable to connect to Exchange server and synchronise calendars.
Same with hotmail.
I have yet to find a decent email client.
Hi there,
I've got a Dell XPS with NVidia GeForce 1050 and Windows 10.
I am not a gamer and for the life of me I am not able to force applications to use nvidia. I have changed the settings in Windows and in GeForce Control Panel but I think the graphics card has not been used at all the last...
Yes, I suspect so. And it is nightmare to devise a locking mechanism.
No, I need write access too
MS Teams has evolved and it is more than a messaging app. It works as the front end of Sharepoint, Onedrive, etc.
I explained what I want to do.
Thanks anyway.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask the people who are more knowledgeable than me the following:
1. I understand that OneDrive is a file sharing service. But, is there a way to run a database server like SQL or store an sqlite file that can be accessed by mutliple people?
2. Is it possible to...
How can I do this? Can you explain please?
I have another story to tell here. My department has bought a piece of software for me to do my job. I emailed helpdesk to ask them to install it on my company's PC. They replied that I can visit the IT helpdesk and they will do it for me.
So, when I...
