Well one of them translated to "What are you doing? What are you doing?" and that really long one is "Completion Completion Completion Completion Completion Completion Completion Completion Completed?"

I found this online, does this seem correct? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31640210-WIN7-Chinese-letters-Words-in-registry

Hello Community,
I've been looking around my computers registry and have found a few weird keys under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
The keys are:

I'll put them here too in case you want to copy and paste them or something:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENTUSER\멘Ṉ싈Ṉ멘Ṉ
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\뭘⨱㺀ℎ뭘⨱楎
Computer\HKEY_CURRENTUSER\섀ׂ뤠ׂ߈

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\鬰竣鯐竣鯰竣骐竣鳐竣饰竣鰰竣騰竣馐竣
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\㦸ᷢ흠຾㦸ᷢE

Could anyone tell me what the heck these are about.

Hello Thomas_40,
I've had a look into getting this working again but have failed. However at the time of lookinf into getting it working again was when I've been busy. I'm planning on looking deeper into it once I'm not so busy. So there may still be a chance, I'll keep anyone posted on here.

What I'll try is disabling the parental controls and see if I can access it.

Ugh sorry for the late reply. I don't know why but I'm no longer receiving emails from DaniWeb. Sorry it doesn't matter now, we have gone with another provider with a cable service and is much faster. Thanks anyway.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I swear I didn't even get notified about this post.
The main Router is a cable router/modem which goes off to two routers. The main Router IP is 192.168.0.1 the bungalow is 192.168.1.1 and the kids one is 192.168.1.2 I think it might be the settings between the main the router and the kids router. The way I've set is so all devices are black listed on the kids router, unless whitelisted, then I've blocked their devices from accessing the main Router/modem.
However even if I connect to the kids router I still can't access the bungalow router.

Hello DaniWeb Community,
I've recently switched to a cable internet service and with the modem/router our provider sent us which is a modem/router and the parental controls on it are crap so I've had to hook up our old router for the kids (dedicated for them).
So what I'm wanting to do is have access to all three routers on the network, here is a layout of the network.

Key:
1 is the bungalow
2 is the main modem/router
3 is the kids router (because as I said before the main router has crap parental controls)

So I'm wanting to know if there is any way to access 3 without having to go into the house and edit the settings.

I've thought of all these different way like as you said size and the way they could be packed, but how do I calculate it in the box? like all along side each other, stacked? This is the difficult part, AusPost really need to step up. Like their API is all over the place, if I could be bothered and had the time I was going to make an API attachment to "prettify" it.

Hello DaniWeb Community,
I'm making an online store and am wanting make a way to calculate the shipping the way I've got it at the moment is using this. However, it isn't good for multiple items. So if one item is $10 and another (smaller) item is $5, so the total is (obviously) $15. Only thing is, you could probably fit both items in a satchel and only have to pay the $10 (or so).
So how do I go about doing this? like how do other online stores do it? I would rather not have customers pay for more then what the shipping is worth (example a customer could buy $50 worth of small items that could fit in one box but would be charged one box/satchel per item).

Ok I've reset it, I'll see how it goes today.

Hello Daniweb Community,
Lately we have been experiencing slow internet, now the thing is. In the house we have 12 devices connected, then from the router it goes out to the bungalow which has around 5-7 devices.
The router we have in the house is a TP-Link Archer D50 and in the bungalow is a TP-Link Archer C2 and we have ADSL2+ (on the Optus network). The maxium speed we were told we're getting is around 6-7Mbps/Download and around 500-600Kbps/Upload.
The other problem we are having is, my sister can't even get a good connection on her PS4 (can't even check her friends), it sometimes won't even let her connect to the router.

Our idea was to drop Optus and go with iiNet and go on cable which usually is around 30-50 download and upload. However, will the issue still persist? Could it be the router? because it wasn't like a super-cheap router, around $150 (not expensive, but it wasn't like a cheap $50-$100 one), or could it be slow internet? when my sister was able to connect her PS4, she checked the speed and the download was something like 100-200 Kbps.

Could someone please give me your insight on this and I'd like to know what is a better solution (however we are still planning to move to iiNet when our contract with Optus runs out).

Hello Daniweb Community,
I've been given a Nighthawk (R7000) to checkout to see if I can get it working and I'm having no luck, I've plugged an ethernet cable straight from the router to my computer and it just keeps disconnecting and I've tried 3 of the ports on the back. It's not even giving out a Wi-Fi signal, I'd ask Netgear but I'm not paying for them to look at it.

As I said, I tried an ethernet cable (yes it works, It's one I've used in the past. Plus the router owner even tried her own at her house) and I tried any way (I would come up with) to access the login page. I tried the Netgear url (routerlogin.net) and the IP address (192.168.1.1).

So I ended up buying all those parts and it turned out successful, only problem was installing Windows as I got the OEM version it came on a disk and I didn't have nor want (only because I never need it) a disk drive so I had to buy an 8 GB flash drive, out the disk in my laptop copied the files onto the flash drive then put it in the desktop.

Thanks everyone for your insight.

Ok cool, with compatibility. I found this video, is it spot on with what he says?

Hello Daniweb Community,
I thinking about upgrading from my laptop to a desktop the main concern is either if I should buy one of build one. So as the title says this is mainly if I was going to build one.

To start off, my main concern about building one is compatibility. I'm not sure on if I buy a motherboard that I can buy whatever CPU, Graphics Card, etc... I'm not sure if there is like a guide I need to go off and even then does it all come down to if it's compatible with the motherboard? I have a cousin (that knows tons about this kind of stuff) that put a list of parts together like so (I think all the parts we found here http://www.msy.com.au)
Case: SHAW USB3.0 GT-GM4
CPU: Intel i3-6100
Motherboard: ASRock H110M-HDV
RAM: 8GB Single 2400 Crucial
Power Supply: Corsair 80+ Bronze CX V3 430
SSD: Crucial MX200 250G
HDD: WD Blue 1TB

So as I said could I get the motherboard from that list and just put any CPU (for example) in and it'll work fine. Same kind of thought goes for the drivers, how do I find/know what is the right one to get? Also what abo the BIOS?

I've looked up heaps of videos on how to put them together but all the ones I found (without crawling YouTube) are ones that don't really explain about compatibility and after putting it …

Oh cool thanks.

I know, which is why I was maybe thinking wireless access point might be a better solution. The rooms aren't all that big, but what do you mean by radius? The modem/router in the office nearly reaches room 1.

As far as a contractor goes I wouldn't be on here asking about this and we've already check prices and it's around $5,000 and the manager isn't prepared to spend that much.

Hello Daniweb Community,
I'm wanting to know if anyone has an idea on how to distribute wifi throughout a motel?
The idea I got is kind of simple but the thing is how do I set certain bandwidth of guests/rooms? so when a guest checks in they are given like 1GB for example then when they use it they can purchase more then the manager just adds in however much they pay for. My idea was just adding users however what routers can I use?

Here is my plan:

Ok so as mentioned here there is a way to add a note to the payer, the transaction is going through but the note it's appearing on either accounts not even in the notifications on the developers dashboard.

Also I've just updated to the newest version of the PayPal SDK which is 1.7.1

Ok well can anyone help me with using a different payment method I see here you can change the payment method to something like 'alternate_payment' but when I try to use that method I just get this error

Hello Daniweb Community,
I was wondering if someone could help me with the PayPal PHP SDK (version 1.3.2), I'm just going off the examples they have provided here focusing on this I was just wondering if there is a way to attach delivery instructions (coming from the website, sending them to the API).

I think I might know where to start, I might try deleting the current loading script and trying a new one.

So how do I go about fixing this?

I've had a look at the website but I'm not sure what to do.

The bouncing balls show when it's loading. So do you mean it's now working?
I'm going to try that website out now, and I'll get back to you.

Ok, so I just got my other friend to try it and it doesn't work on his phone. For one friend it works, and the other it doesn't.

Well according to my friend, it works. Can a couple simple/small errors like that stop it from working on iPhone's?

Ok I got no where to download it and I'm not downloading it from an unofficial website, or some archive website. So I'll just ask my friend to try it on his phone.

I've fixed those errors, however what could testing it on Safari do? The persons phone I was looking at it on also had Chrome which I tried and also tried using Incognito mode and it still didn't work. I even got my friend to try it and it didn't work.

I'll install Safari anyway and have a look, but I really need to find the problem with why this is happening as it's my business website and I don't want customers to turn away.

F.Y.I Everywhere else I've tried it, it works. Like my Android phone, several computers, I think I've even tried it on my PS4.

Hello Daniweb Community,
I have got it working, so for those who make stumble across this and wanting to know how I done this.

I went from the phone socket which is located in a bedroom at the furthest end of the house (furthest from the bungalow), I drilled a hole from inside to outside. I drilled a hole in the roof above the outside hole, leading into the roof. I then go in the roof and fed the cable through the hole and down the outside of the house, I then fed it through conduit and flexible conduit and worked it into the wall.

So then I got back into the roof and ran it diagonal to the other end of the house and drilled another hole through the roof to outside. Then fed the cable down and out and fed it through conduit straight across to the garage roof and around the outside of it through conduit around to the bungalow. Once I reached the bungalow I ran it down where the garage meets the bungalow to the floor then across a few feet then up the wall a bit an in.

Once it was done I put the Ethernet connectors on and screwed the faceplates to the wall. First try, it WORKED! (First time I've ever ran Ethernet). After it was working, I went around a glued all the PVC together and put more saddles on.

Once it was all finished I got what Ethernet I …

Hello Daniweb Community,
It has recently come to my attention that my website does not load on iPhone's, my website is (also I'm not trying to advertise) http://twisteddigital.com.au. So could someone help me with this problem, I've tried searching around for a little bit but couldn't find anything.

Also will the diagram I posted work? like going from modem/router to another router in the bungalow?

So not over it? because I was going to run it along the fence until I need to bring it to the ground to go under and inside.
So if I run it underground you recommend running the cable through PVC?

I've attahed an example on the plan I have like the setup and I was wondering would this work?

Hello Everyone,
Sorry I've taken to long to reply, I've been busy and have gotten word that we have gotten that house. So now this is going to become a reality.

So what I was thinking what would be easier running a telephone line from the main one in the house, splitting it and sending it out to the bungalow (however there is a cement walkway between the house and the bungalow. So would it be ok to run it above ground across a wood fence, then some how under the bungalow, up the wall and in, unless anyone has another idea.

Or, would it be easier running an ethernet cable the same was as I explained above.

Either way, what exactly is required for both ways? like is it ok to split a telephone line or is an ethernet cable ok to just run from a wall socket in the house kitchen down the wall and outside up the fence (over the gate) then back down and and under the bungalow up the wall and out to the lounge?

The distance between the two would probably be around 10 meters, the only reason I want this is to hard wire everything for the best gaming connection. I don't want Wi-Fi, extenders, etc... I want to use ethernet, worse case cenario I'll use Wi-Fi but I want to try as many options first.

Also if anyone has guides or similure guides/videos on doing stuff like this, I'd appreciate it …

@ryantroop Thanks so much it works perfect!

Hello Daniweb Community,
I've been looking around online for help with this but I can't seem to find a way to get a query to do what I want.
The image below should pretty much say what kind of result I'd like to get, it's pretty much merging the tables weather or not the second table has a row with the same ID and if it doesn't then just return NULL.

Thanks

Ok thanks, I just thought I'd see what people here on Daniweb have to say first before I contact GoDaddy.

Hello Everyone,
I can already see the main answer, no. Money wise, I'm not exactly needing the money but I just wanted other peoples opinions before I actually get offered it. I haven't really got a problem with making it, I just don't really know if I should state that I've made those kind of websites, so I don't really care if people fine out (family and friends that is, not business clients, etc...).

@rubberman
For better connection I think I'd rather keep everything wired between the two as I'm going to be wanting as good as a connection (for gaming) as possible without spending hundereds.

@CimmerianX
I'm not exactly sure, however the distance between the two would probably be around 3 maybe 4 meters, but I'm can't really guess the distance from the modem router in the house to the router in the bungalow. One think I just remembered is it has an arch way between the two (house and bungalow) that have existing cables running across so I could maybe run it along the arch way with those.
@Isaac_4

I've seen some people saying to just use power adapters, but I'd rather not as the last time I used them, it interfeared with my surround sound.

It says "Failed to connect to {DOMAIN} port 80"

Hello Daniweb,
I was wondering how come a cURL API I made to call a function from my other website (but on the same hosting plan) no longer works.

I even tried making a test API to call in the same directory, eg...
:api.php

<?php die(json_encode("something")); ?>

:testing.php

<?php
    $url = "http://mywebsite.com/api.php";

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

    $result = curl_exec($ch);

    if ($result === false) {
        echo "_error_".curl_error($ch);
    } else if ($result == "1") {
        echo "success";
    } else {
        echo $result;
    }

    curl_close($ch);
?>

However it's really weird, if I try that same script from testing.php but on another website that is on a different host it works fine, and vice-versa.

It just no longer works when I try to call from one site to the other which are both on my same host.

The website is for an escort but no I haven't started it. I've just had word that I might be asked to make one. With the adult content, that is what I'm contemplating. I'm just not sure, like I could do it but have no trace back to me, but that'll just annoy me because as I've just started a web development business I've only got a few clients and I like to take credit. So I'm in a bit of a delema, like the money is good, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Hello Daniweb,
I feel kind of awkward asking this but, I've been offered to make an adult portfolio website and I was wondering if I should display that I've made it, as well as display it on my websites portfolio.

I'm thinking not because I don't really want "smutt" related to my website.

Hello Daniweb,
I'm going to moving houses soon, a house we might be moving into has a bungalow and I was wondering how I'd go about running ethernet from the house to the bungalow?

My idea was to some how run the ether from the house to outside then dig a trench from the house to the bungalow run the ethernet throught a PVC pipe (not sure if it's worth it, only thinking for better protection) and lay it in the trench a bury it then find a way to feed it into the bungalow.

Not sure if my method will work or if I'm legally allowed to do it, or if I need to hire someone. However if I did want to hire someone to do it all for me, does anyone know a rough price on what it would cost?

I've seen some people saying to just use power adapters, but I'd rather not as the last time I used them, it interfeared with my surround sound.

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently in the process of working this out, however I honestly don't think there is anything that I can do as the code works. The problem is within Facebook's API, I've noticed I cannot access comments like I could before. So I have no idea how to get this working, if I can post a comment using the API then the rest will all work. So if anyone can figure this out, you'll be a code hero!

Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to get a posts comments within a Facebook group?
I have tried using https://graph.facebook.com/{POST_ID}/comments?access_token={ACCESS_TOKEN} but all it returns is

Array
(
    [data] => Array
        (
        )

)

even though there are comments on my post.

No I didn't but its too late I've sent my laptop off for a service.

I done a full restore so it was like I just brought it, and if you're saying the performance is right for the PC then you obviously haven't read anything I've been writing. Like about how from the factory reset it was still running at 90% CPU. If you're saying that's right then I'd like to try out a cheaper PC. This one cost my $499, plus it was on sale my last one cost a little over $500 and it has half the RAM and half the space and it lasted me close to half a year before I started noticing a couple problems with it which are kind of fixed now, but its still working better than my new laptop.

So I'm going with what other people are saying which could be a component problem and needs replacing because you tell me how a 4GB RAM laptop can having so many YouTube videos open (I think at one point I had close to 20) and still be able to go on Facebook do work and other stuff on it and have the CPU balancing around 40%... And have my new computer doing nothing at all but sitting "idle" and be running at 90%?
