Remote access of LAN

So I set up Dyndns on my Actiontec Verizon FIOs router and I can reach my router's external IP. But how do I tell Nomachine which of the internal IPs to use to reach a specific PC. The internal LAN IPs are in the 192.168.x.x range and thus aren't routable over the Internet. Do I use the External...

Remote access of LAN

NoMachine sounds like what I need. But I want to connect to more than one computer on my LAN and I only have one external IP address as my LAN is sitting behind a router and the computers on the LAN have addresses in the 192.169.1. range. How do I specify which computer to connect to?

Remote access of LAN

I have a small home LAN consisting of 6 PCs. Four of the PCs are running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and two of them are running Windows 10. I'd like to be able to connect to any of them remotely with my Win 10 laptop or Android tablet. Can some tell a newbie how to do this? Do I need a VPN? How...

Windows batch scripting question

I need some help with Windows scripting. I have a bunch of DVDs rips stored on my PC that I watch with my Patriot Box Office (PBO) hardware media player. Unfortunately the PBO doesn't support symbolic links properly so I've had to create directory junctions instead. I've been typing the...

Windows 7 Home Premiun and iSCSI

I have a HTPC running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and I'm using Windows Media Center to record TV shows. I'm running out of hard drive space on the HTPC and adding more drives or swapping in larger drives isn't an option. But I have another PC running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 that I use as a...

Firewire

I have a old 2 bay external hard drive case that I connected to my PC (NOT a Mac) via Firewire 400 to record video. The case held 2 IDE hard drives and a IDE to Firewire bridgeboard. I'd like to reuse the case but update it to use SATA hard drives. So I need a new bridgeboard that supports two...

HTPC with WMC 7 and XBox 360 as media extender problem

I had to rebuild my HTPC running Windows 7 x64 because of a bad hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and now when I try to use my XBox 360 with it doesn't work. Any idea as to what's wrong and how to fix it? I'm not running any kind of security software (AntiVirus, non-WIndows Firewall, etc). I...

Suggested MiniITX system build.

I chose a AMD processor over a Pentium because I want to use the CPU's built-in GPU to save on the heat, cost and room needed for a separate GPU and I understood that AMD's graphics were superior to Intel's. I want to watch Blurays & DVDs as well as MKVs and streaming video as well as surf the...

Suggested MiniITX system build.

I'm thinking about building a MiniITX system for web surfing, using RDP to access my other PCs, streaming video & playing DVD & Blurays (both physical disks and rips stored on my media server in ISO and file form). MKV support would be nice as well. I do not want to overclock or play games...

Maxtor Shared Storage Drive question

Thanks Larry. Where do I find a Linux LiveCD/DVD? Also what's Disk Utility. And can it use USB as I'm using a USB to IDE converter because my computer doesn't have any IDE ports.
