This is pretty simple. once you have verified that your user is logged in, you can find his ip from the $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; Now you can store this $ip in a database to keep track of your users. One glitch though, your users may want to access your site contents from different pcs the ip would change in this case. Also modem users get a new ip every time they log in. So dont just ban users who have multiple IPs Any tool is only as good as you can use it!! (http://www.pascalnet.tk)

well, i noticed that, but the 249MB download size turned me off, as im on lowly dsl here at work. Plus, thats got a whole lotta extra baggage. I suppose i could let it download overnight... i think i was looking more for something on the simpler side, heh, but i suppose this will have to do. *.* cin >> knowledge;

No, what i meant is you can use a bash script running with cron. Cron is a daemon that runs programs at specific times, depending on what you put in the conf file. Check the manpages, do a: "man cron" from the shell and you will learn how to use it. Then you only have to write a script, something like this (I don't remember the tar syntax): #!/bin/sh tar cvf backup.tar /home Then you write it to a file, say backup.sh and perhaps chmod it to o+x so you can execute it from the shell. It's been a long time since I don't use linux, so I almost forgot many commands. "semper aliquid haeret", Bacon. -- Sebastián.

yeah, i was thinking about using mod_throttle, but unfortonately, there's a bandwidth cap on my server (i live in a dorm room, people on campus get great speeds, but anywhere off campus...slowness) so it would be hard to gague what the timeouts should be. :-/ *.* cin >> knowledge;

I am an overclocker also. Many months ago I got an MP 1700 because they come unlocked. I run at over 1900 speed with the FSB at 166 as opposed to the default of 133. With my next machine I will probably not bother though. The Ten Commandments For C Programmers

I can't help about the license issues, but when I tried Win2k3 (I had Enterprise) for about 5 months, I loved it. Not that nice trying to use as a desktop OS, some things are obviously a bit slow, but I had my website running off IIS and it worked wonderfully. AFAIK Apache et al will run hassle-free on 2k3. I know that unfortunately SQL Server 2k won't work, it's compatible from SP2 and up, but I couldn't get it working. For the rest everything was cool :-D HTH Paul ;) That demands capital punishment!!

Hi , I have tried it out its working fine for me . You can try with out using caps.

There probably isn't one - 1&1 are Europes largest web hosting company, and this expensive gimik is probably just to get them establisted in North America as well. Just be warned - 1&1 have mastered the art of putting you on hold if you need to call their support line, and if you find a problem with their systems you can forget about getting it fixed - they host something like 30,000 web sites on each Windows 2003 server and wont so much as change directory permissions without a lot of effort on your behalf. Having said that, for low volume sites 1&1 are okay as okay goes - nothing special, but not too bad either.

The customers will decide about TCPA: People buy TCPA hardware -> no more freeware, nearly no more shareware People buy hardware second-hand to avoid that new TCPA stuff -> intel and friends will have to change their minds
