I have a problem. I have set up two email accounts on my web host server. I can log into them via web mail. In web mail I can view and send messages. On my desktop I am unable to view or send messages via my web host. I am not being blocked by the ADSL modem. I've worked through that and unblocked the required ports. The accounts are SSL Thunderbird reports contacting the mail server, seeks approval to trust the certificate, and then requests the password for the account. After I enter the password it is rejected. The password I enter is correct, it is exactly the same as the one I allocated when creating the account and it works for WebMail. I feel that there is something fundamental that I have not done. It is SSL, do I need to create an encryption file or whatever? And if so, How? I have created a public and private key for the webhost, do I need to do the same for my laptop. And will I need different keys for each computer on my home network?

If yes, dont try the convertors, rather buy a parrallel port PCI card for the machine.

Ed, what's wrong with converters ? fwiw, earlier today I've attempted to transfer a HP 2100 LPT from LPT to a new PC, USB only (both PCs windoze XP) so, when I connected the HP to USB using USB 2 metre extension, plus, Belkin USB/parallel, the printer went off line every time anythings was printed. eventually, I've moved the printer back to the old PC with parallel, it worked OK hence, I'm curious of any known problems with the USB/LPT gizmos -- Voytek ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 9 ==========================** Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:35:16 +0930 From: Peter A Jenkins Subject: USB printers Voytek Eymont wrote: > > > >> Is there any way to get a printer working in eCS when connected to a USB >> port? > yes, it works most of the time, I have used Lexmark OPtra E312L laser; > it had both parallel and USB, I had USB plugged into Warp 4, parallel into > XP; > > but, the USB printer driver would work then refuse to, > > eventually, I swapped cables, now, OS/2 prints to paralle, XP to USB > > > > I have a Kyocera FS-820 laser which will print via USB or parallel running under ECS 2.0 RC4 Peter J (now at Gladstone SA from Monday, if Telstra gets the phone connected) -- May your moccasins leave tracks, on many mounds of worth, and walk with chiefs of every tribe who live in peace on earth.

Article: OpenOffice update completes bumper patch crop http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/11/openoffice_update/ And in comments: Lag? what lag? By Jaowon Posted Wednesday 11th June 2008 13:33 GMT OOo was designed for a PC with 64MB of ram. Increase the amount of RAM available to it and it flies. Ideally this should be automatic, but it's not. In OOo go into Tools - Options - OpenOffice dot org - Memory and multiply the amount of RAM required by 10 (or more if you are feeling benevolent). That works fine for me, just as speedy as it was on release 1. I did this for the following options in the Memory panel Graphics Cache and yes it works: 99Mb for the cache, 24Mb per object, remove after 10 minutes and 200 inserted objects.
