Keeping People from Hard Wiring In or Blocking Certain Programs

Okay, here's my problem
I live with two other guys and we all share the internet connection. One guy is hard wired into the router, me and the other are across the room on wireless. Whenever the guy hard wired in starts downloading stuff with p2p (Azureus -_-) he gives us on the wireless huge latency.
We have a really expensive cable line and it's starting to annoy the hell out of us because he refuses to turn them off saying 'it's his right' >_
Is there anyway to block his wired line from the router or at least his p2p program so we can get our fair share of the bandwidth? We're looking for any sort of solution, even temporary, just so we can at least get him to compromise. Any help would be appreciated!

Sound like your roomate is a _______. If i were you and your other roomate I would go ahead and give him the whole connection. Order another for you and your more sensible roomate. The reason i say this is that I doubt QOS will do all that much. I dunno what you use the internet for but if its gaming then forget it. QOS will not reclaim the bandwidth once Azureus has taken hold. So if hes going to hog the whole connection then let him pay for it all by himself.
Help fight lag! Wire up that gaming machine!!!!!

How can I keep people from saving images from my website?

Hi,
have a look at this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5645821&tstart=0#5645821
and the link I posted in that thread
However there's no way to avoid that people grab photos from your website. Nevertheless there are ways for making it a little more difficult.

How can I keep people from accessing my Thunderbird program?

I deal with a lot of confidential information and need to restrict access to Thunderbird. Is there a way to do this? I see that a master password does not keep people from viewing emails that I have already received or sent.

Hello,
     Here's what we do. We add a parameter check in the creationComplete action that checks for the domain from a server side global variable.
     Example:
     In the init function we check for domain. If you are doing it in PHP then,
     1.) Change your html file to a php file
     2.) Add a parameter to the embed tag for the swf to include the domain = $_REQUEST[URI]
     3.) In the init() function called from the CreationComplete
     private function init_app():void{
          domain = Application.application.parameters.domain;
          if(domain != "http://www.mydomain.com") {
               //Do whatever to kill the apps - (NavigatetoURL for your homepage to purchase the app)...
     This could be done with CF or asp. Doesn't really matter.
Kind regards,

How do I keep people from knowing I am on line?

People can tell when I come on line. How do I prevent this from happening?

Can you please specify a little more?
Does this happen when you connect, or just when opening Firefox? Can he tell all the time, or only after you go to a website?
This doesn't sound like something from Firefox. It sounds like your brother may have:
1. A direct connection
2. A notification via Facebook, Gmail, forums, ect.
3. A program similiar to the Find-My-Friends app on an iPhone
You should probably talk to your brother as he may have more information.

Hi
I have been using my T400 for some time now and what is annoying me is the sound of hard drive even ehen I am just reading word or a webpage or not even doing anything (no programs running).

But my T400 keeps on touching the hard drive in relatively regular wai - on/off, on/off - each second - this is driving me crazy...
I hope I described it correctly ;-) - hope you understand.
Any suggestions how to solve it or I have to get used?

Why do I keep getting "Unexpected Quit" messages when I close certain programs?

Just a problem I have with Steam and a few different programs. Everytime I close the program, I get an unexpected quit error. Anything I can do to fix this?

What other programs?

I have downloaded Firefox 5 but I keep getting told that I can't run certain programs (egEvernote Web Clipper) because I am using Firefox 3

I accepted the offer to download Firefox 5 and followed all the instructions. Everything seemed to be ok until I tried to install the Evernote Web Clipper. I was then told that I was running Firefox 3.xxx...
If I have downloaded Firefox 5 how do I make sure I am running 5 and not my earlier version?

Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.

How do I stop people from being redirected from my organization's website to another with a similar address and copied content (not a problem on IE or Chrome)?

My organization's website is: www.wallingfordseniors.org
Many people when using Firefox are being redirected to another website (www.wallingfordsseniors.org) which has lifted our content verbatim. Even when typing in our address, people get sent to the other one. This other website is being operated by an unknown entity and the hosting company has no contact information we can find to send a DMCA violation letter to. Anyway to keep people from going to the other site? For now all the links are the same but we are concerned that they will mess with our link to submit donations and route money to themselves with our donors thinking they are giving to us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on how it's happening. For example:
* DNS Server glitch (OS or router level): however, you would expect the same result in all browsers
* Custom DNS/proxy setting in Firefox - users can check their connection settings as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] (network mini-tab under Advanced settings)
* Non-default search engine plugin -- if the user puts a space in the domain -- that doesn't display search results normally: user can make sure Google is selected
* Hijacked by a browser extension: user can try Firefox's Safe Mode
* Redirect hacked into your website (in .htaccess or a PHP/JSP/ASPX file under certain circumstances)
Once the wrong address is in Firefox's history, for example from making a typo once, users may find it hard to notice the difference when given autocomplete suggestions.
Hopefully you can track it down.

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
Jay

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address. I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around.
I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are. I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address. Can I do that?

Query re hard wired extension from double master s...

I have a double master socket - old LJ5/1A type. From this is a hard wired extension. From this extension's socket I have run a "plug in" extension upstairs to a filtered ADSL and phone faceplate. I am experiencing very slow download speeds and I am wondering if my "extension to extension" is the wrong type of set up. Without taking the double socket master faceplate apart, which I am reluctant to do, I do not know if there is a bell wire anywhere in my set up causing interference. Any advice would be appreciated please.

Ooops sorry. Misunderstood. Good idea, but I don't know whether or not that will work in my set up. I understand they work due to the properties of the ring main. Problem is in my case, I have one ring main downstairs and a separate ring main upstairs., (two miniature circuit breakers in the consumer unit). Do you know if they would work on two separate ring mains?
Updated reply:
Went onto site where these devices are sold. Apparently they can be used on two separate ring mains.
"Would HomePlugs work on different mains circuits (rings) in my house ?
There is mis-information about this subject on the web - the answer is Yes - limitations are as follows - the rings or circuits (such as upstairs and downstairs) mains must be on the same fuse box / consumer box. - if you have other configurations just call and we will do our best to advise."
