Sure it isn't an ISP issue.

Try using google dns 8.8.8.8

Or put the ip in the browser rather than the dns

Do some googling regarding your ISP and twitter see what comes up.

Also check your host files for something funky
 
Yeah checked hosts earlier, googled for my ISP and twitter and just found loads of twitter accounts related to Telia but no actual info.

Doing a full malwarebytes scan currently, will try googles DNS :)
 
Deleted all cookies and saved passwords, managed to get the front screen, logged on, sent a tweet, tweet sending failed with "Internal server error." (been getting that issue as well numerous times on the rare occasion I could access twitter, running Wireshark to capture the traffic between myself and twitter but can't make head nor tail of it, some of it doesn't look good though:

Ok.

With it happening on your mobile then to me it either points to either router, dns, ISP issue.

If VPN works then this is passing you through someone else's to get to twitter.

How are you changing the dns, is it on PC and is it onto forced on router or ISP?

Can you show me a tracert from your PC?



Strange one.
 
Normally I have OpenDNS set on my router and SmartDNS (to get US on Netflix, UK in iplayer, Egypt on Al Jazeera etc) set on my network adaptor, this set up worked fine on Twitter up until maybe a few days ago.

And this morning so far it seems to be working fine, sent two tweets no problem, did a tracert and it seems to be routed a little differently:

Download malwarebytes on a different computer, try and get latest updates too.

Disconnect Internet on hacked. PC.

Then install it and run a scan, see if it finds some hack tools

my Acer mini laptop was working fine until tonight , but just few hours ago when I on it I saw that mouse wont work , It was plug on power as soon as I take it off and use it with battery it work perfectly fine , idk what problem is anyone can help me ?

p.s adapter isnt original since original one was broken few years ago and I bought this "Intex" universal one and was working just fine for almost 2 years now .... o what can be problem ? maybe adapter ? it gives power and everything its fine just mouse wont work at all
 
Is there a function key to disable the mouse.

Check this is not enabled


Googled this..


Actually, you DON'T press Fn and F6 together. I also have a Acer laptop (mini) and my mouse just got stuck today, I tried pressing FN + F6 like someone said above but it didn't work, then I saw a key with a hand icon printed on it (which is F7) so I pressed Fn and F7 together and my mouse unfroze. Hope this helps you (if your problem isn't fixed yet) or anyone else for that matter, who may need help too.

I did several market researches (window-shopping) :JAY: on this. I found that it just can not alter the regular need of a mouse for me + i can't stand something on a laptop screen. I just count that as a bonus, not a priority to choose a laptop.

You may consider this..

There are also non-touchscreen, resolution variant to choose from.

I have a question. I'm trying to listen to music with my 5.1 system. It works so far that I hear the music from the front boxes. I don't expect the music to be played from the rear boxes (as music is normally stereo) but I would like to hear sounds from the subwoofer. But I don't hear anything.

Could you guys please help me?

Thanks

What i will be doing if i do get one is installing Android on it so i can use the apps off it.

At least that way I don't need a iPad when more game company's start making phone/tablet apps for the next gen consoles.
 
Hi,

As I want to get the most out of PES I have decided to buy a PC. Is there something I should keep in mind when building one? Especially in terms of OS.

And how difficult is it to add the mods and tweaks presented here?

Just want to thank the modders and OF makers, you deserve a beer and a hug. The work you do is fantastic.


Cheers

Ey up,

I have a networking problem that I am trying to solve. I recently bought an extra pc to use as a renderslave ( win 8.1 pro), however I havent managed to get the networking to work as I want.

The issue is this, I need to connect the two pc's by lan due to the file sizes that need to be shared for rendering, however my main pc (win7 ultimate) has a wifi connection to the router for internet. So i figured a crossover cable between the 2 pc's would be fine, and to a certain extent it is. However for some reason I can only create a working network from the win8 pc and not from the 7. Ideally I want to be able to control everything from my main pc ( win7) and have the slave (win8) as a passive pc that receives jobs and supports the main pc. But for this to work I need my win7 pc to be the boss and create the homegroup, however when I do this my win8 pc wont connect to the homegroup, even though it can see it and attempt to connect to it. If i do it in wifi it works fine ( but the bandwidth is too low to actually use it for rendering).

I thought the issue might be due to the fact that using the lan creates a 2nd unidentified network on my main pc and that that screws up the network. Ive gone through the settings to make it private and stuff like that.

My conclusion was to go out and buy some kind of switch / router, that i can then link to the main router by wifi. This would then work as a main link to both the network and wifi, thereby creating a single network that both pcs can use that also has webaccess. However I dont want to go out and buy this if it wont work. Also I dont want it to just forward the connection to the main router as it will then just be wifi again.

Thinking of it some more Im not sure the above would solve anything, it seems to be stuck in the settings from win7 to win8...
I also cant swap the pcs, or windows, as the renderslave is a stripped down pc.

Any ideas?

Nevermind,

After another round of googling and pissing about with settings I have managed to get it working.

The solution was to move away from homegroup and do it the traditional way. ANd then the final part was to set the ipv4 adress (as homegroup uses ipv6). Now I can send render jobs to the slave, or, which is even cooler, combine the two pc's for a single render. So now instead of 8 buckets on screen (8 core pc) I now have 16! whoooo!
