Welcome to the community.

Create a bootable usb thumb drive. You can use this tutorial I wrote to do that. http://eightforum.com/topic/85-installing-windows-7-from-usb-stick/ Set the bois to boot from the usb drive and the install should start.

Virtual Box or any other virtual environment is fine to learn. You should however assign the box a static private IP and open ports for the services you run in your router.

We are patient. Remember the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Welcome to the community.

Have you installed just the server core? That sounds like what happened.

FULL CONTROL, the worst permission ever! Have you ever tried to set up permission for a folder? It's an easy task, user can or can't do something. But when you have to set up permissions for a "non standard program"? Where I work we have 3 programs that are developed by an external society and they don't provide many details regarding folders / registry keys used. Sometime a program starts and works, but a little part of that doesn't work. You can do a test by starting the program with admin's right, if the problem doesn't persist anymore, it means there is a permissions's issue. You can't assign admin's right to a user because of a program need access to somewhere... so you could assign a full control permission on a folder... but this doesn't mean you resolve the problem. Anyway, full control is not a solution! Here comes Process Monitor: http://technet.micro...ernals/bb896645 from SysInternals, it's free and it can save you from having problem with wrong permissions. Once started, this tool can monitor every process running on the machine (it requires admin's right), lucky you have the choice to use FILTERS. Let's say the program which doesn't work is called myprogram.exe and the user is connecting via TS with the username "Buddy". Click on FILTER and select from dropdown list "PROCESS NAME", then select IS and then type "myprogram.exe" (without quotes). Click add and add another one: select USER and then CONTAINS, finally type: "Buddy" (again, without quotes). These two filters are useful but there's still something to do. Add another filter: from drop down select EVENT then IS and then type "ACCESS DENIED" (without quotes), this filter allows you to check ONLY what cannot be used / accessed for a user. Click OK and you should see a blank page because your program is not running. Now open the program and check the Process Monitor log. Maybe you will find something, maybe not. Do the operation with the program that you know it doesn't work, than check again the log. Usually you can find a file or a registry key that is NOT ACCESSIBLE, and under DETAILS you can find "DESIRED ACCESS:" which tells you what kind of permission the program's need. Sometime a program require only READ permission to a registry key, sometime it needs also edit or delete. Understanding if a permission is required or not, it's up to you! Pay attention to the voice called ACCESS DENIED, sometimes WORDS or OUTLOOK are shown as "ACCESS DENIED" but this doesn't mean you have to unblock them! Maybe in the next week I will post something more, for now make a try :) and please... STOP USING FULL CONTROL! Also check this guide: http://blogs.technet...d-examples.aspx

Yes you are. Welcome Ryan.

I got a mix of 4u custom built boxes and a few mini servers using hacked up Shuttle XPC's. The one that runs this site is an oldie but goodie. It has 4 first gen Xeon 1GHz slot 1 processors with 32 gigs of ram in a 4u case on an Intel motherboard. It has an Adaptec scsi controller, running 12 32gig IBM drives. 4 internal and 8 in an external enclosure. It was the first server I put online 12 years ago and it's been up with the exception of OS reloads for the whole time. It's a workhorse and at the time cost over $10K to build. I would put it's performance up against any of the top of line servers of today.

You can install the trial version. Just make sure you install the correct version of the software. If you bought standard select the standard version, if you bought web select it. Start the install and when it gets to the product key don't put one in. The next step will ask which version you want to install. Select the correct one for your license. Once the install completes right click my computer and at the bottom there will be a link to change the product key. Click it and put in the product key for the version you bought. Once you do that it will ask if you want to activate. Click yes and in a few minutes you should have a fully activated copy of server 2008.

Welcome and make yourself at home.

Welcome to the site.

I have done some major changes to the site and the software used on the site. This is to make your user experience at Tech Help Forum an enjoyable one. In the coming weeks you'll see more features added. With this I also added a new default style. This new style should correct the problems some of you had with usability and readability. If you should encounter any problems please post a thread in the Site Feedback forum and I will address then as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.

Here is the first real look at Windows 8 posted on Microsoft News Blog. Video is below. It looks like everything we know about Windows is about to change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p92QfWOw88I You can read the rest at Microsoft News Blog

I doubt it is. I would try an online virus scanner to check things.

Hello Neven and welcome to the community.

What you need to do is a repair install of Windows 7. Reboot the computer and tap on F8 when the bios screen loads. This will bring to the repair console.

Have you started the wireless internet service? It is not enabled on install.

Hello and welcome to the community.

Welcome to our community.

Use this thread to give me feedback, both good and bad, of Tech Support Forum. Your input will help make Tech Support Forum the best it can be.

As you can see I have changed forum software back to vBulletin. Nothing against IPB I just thought this site would benefit from some of the extras that vBulltin has to offer from the addons community. All data has been imported as well as the downloads and links. I will be adding the news page back soon and will also add a blog section for users that want to create their own mini news site with in Free PC Help Forum.Org. If you find any bugs while visiting the site be sure to let me know in the Site Feedback and Suggestions forum. Thanks for your continued support. Bob Schwarz

If you assigned the sub domain the same IP as the server then there isn't anyway to do what you want. If you assigned an additional IP then the only way to use that IP externally is to connect directly to the sub domain. It sounds like you want to enable NAT which would do what you want. Look into enabling DHCP on the server and how to set up NAT.
