The drawback is that you won't be able to connect to the internet at the same time. If you get a switch (or better still a wireless router) you can connect all your computers together AND access the internet from any of them.
If one of the PCs is connected to a DSL/cable modem via USB (i.e. it's not using your network card which you need for the other PC!) or even a normal phone modem, you can use Internet Connection Sharing. It has a few issues, but would probably be fine for your situation. Easy to set up - if you're interested, look up Internet Connection Sharing on google - there's loads of sites that will show you how to enable it.

How did it go Anderoo? Must say I had a good day myself...
It was such a gorgeous day, and I was lucky enough to get off work for all of it. In the morning, caught a load of small chub up to about a pound and a half trotting maggots.
Things went quiet about midday though, and as the sun had moved behind the high bank behind me, I decided to move upstream and find somewhere else where I could stay in the warm. Found a nice wide pool I'd never fished before, changed to legered double lobworm and cast under some trees into a slack area near the far bank.
Wasn't expecting much, but after about 5 minutes the tip suddenly waggled a bit and I struck. It felt really good at first (perhaps my first barbel I thought), but after a few plunges it came in without too much of a fight, though still feeling quite heavy. Struggled to get it into the net but eventually got it onto the bank. It looked really fat (with spawning time coming perhaps it was pregnant?) and considering how I struggled to lift it from the water I was already sure it was a PB. Now it's the first time I've used my new scales, but they said it was... 6lb 4oz! I'm going to have to test them on some cans and bags of sugar in the kitchen to be sure, but I couldn't believe it!
After a bit of a dance and having gently placed this wonderful fish back into the water, I finally settled down and cast again. After all my leaping about, I didn't think there'd be another fish for miles, but sure enough, another bite within 10 minutes, and another chub, this time a bit less than 2 lb. Had one more a bit smaller again about 15 minutes later.
As you say chelmerpaul, having just found this magic pool I can't believe I've got to wait 3 MONTHS til I can go back there!!! I've never fished the last day of the season before - still can't believe it.
Really hope some others had a good last day too.

When you say the header, do you mean who the message appears to come from?
If you write a program that sends raw SMTP commands (try it via telnet if you like - plenty of examples if you google SMTP TELNET), you can set the MAIL FROM field to just about anything you like. This won't always work depending on the security of the SMTP server that you connect to in order to send the message - typically your ISP won't let you send anything that isn't associated with your connection account. I suppose you can try connecting straight to the SMTP server registered against the domain of the address you want to send to - check out the domain's MX records to get the address.
However, even if you can use the SMTP server, there's no easy way to get round the IP trail - i.e. the trail of connections made between the message's source computer (you) and the final recipient. As previously mentioned by Leon, many ISP's will notice loads of stuff heading out and will first notify you, and then possibly close your account. To get round this (and the availability of obliging SMTP servers), spammers usually use "open relay" SMTP servers that they either find (because someone didn't secure their server properly), or create themselves using malware infections on unsuspecting (usually) home PCs. They then feed destination addresses to these malware programs which chuck out endless reams of rubbish to poor sods like us - and the trail only goes back to the infected computer, and not the spammer themselves.
I think all of that's right, though having never done it I couldn't say for sure

Plenty of places in the area.
Pembury,Kent,Springhill fishery.Nice small complex,rainbows and browns.Some catch and release as well.Very nice owner.
Tenterden Fishery.Very pleasant place,catch and release there as well.
Boringwheel,near Nutley.Free boats.
Lakedown fishery.Very nice spot.Four lakes,stream fed.
all the above have a lodge,tea coffee etc,toilets.
Bear in mind Brick Farm has none of the above.Its cheap and chearful fishing,six fish £30.
Chalk Springs,near Arundel.Nice small complex,very clear water.
Duncton Mill,near Petworth.cracking place,four lakes,super club house,free tea coffee and biccys
.Only open on day tickets during the winter months.Hope that helps
Thanks chuby. Think I went to Chalk Springs once - beautiful but quite expensive I seem to recall.
Will certainly look into some of those. Thanks muchly for your help.

Hi Roland
Fished it a good few times.Not a pretty venue by any means,but you will get your string pulled.First pool is small and totally open-ie hole in the ground.Park up infront of the pool.Right hand corner always seems to hold a fair few fish for some reason,but its that small it does not really make any odds.Bottom pool is bigger.Mid to far end is popular.Buzzers work very well,either a team or with diawl bachs.Any goldhead nymphs plus damsels will get you fish.
Not my idea of the sort of venue to kep returning to,but it is very very well stocked and there are some big fish to be caught,although the average is probably around 2lb.
I'm having a look around for some fisheries in the area for the coming season - only really ever been to Bewl in the past. May try this Brick Farm one - can anyone recommend any others around Kent / Sussex area?

Guess no ideas on this one. Me neither. However, the plot thickens...
It was noted that occaisionally the wireless connections on this network were going down, shortly followed by general network connectivity from and between all machines.
We quickly discovered that restarting the netgear wireless router/modem/switch resolved everything (except the name resolution problem, but not too worried about that now).
This gradual network failure has become more and more of a problem - we swapped out the router about a month ago, and though initially better, things appear to be deteriorating again. Apparently they're resetting the router as many as 8 or 9 times a day!
Using Ethereal, I noticed that one of the wired machines on the network was communicating with the router for no obvious reason. It would steadily work through a consecutive run of local port numbers, connecting to port 49152 on the netgear router and simply sending a SYN, RST, PSH or ACK - no actual content though. Ethereal noted a checksum error on these connections (though it does tend to do that a lot of the time anyway I've noticed), but I'm wondering if this may have anything to do with the router / network failure. I didn't find anything else out of the ordinary. I've tried resetting the TCP and Winsock stuff, but it's made no difference.
I used SysInternal's TCPView to determine that svchost (-k netsvcs) is responsible for the particular connection, but having looked through the various related service processes, there's nothing obviously dodgy.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this, or knows of a particular legitimate or nasty process that has this kind of behaviour? Any ideas would be great - I've tried everything and my customer is getting pretty annoyed about things. I'm mostly a programmer and getting rapidly out of my depth - perhaps some other forum or knowledgebase links?
The PC in question has McAfee AV and firewall, and I've arranged with the customer to have it turned off for all of tomorrow morning to see if that resolves things.
Thanks in advance

Couldn't agree more. I keep going down to the river, knowing it's still going to be high, but secretly hoping it might have dropped and cleared a bit. But no.
Along my favourite stretch that leaves about 2 fishable swims; they're not great, and a twisting, charging slew of mud, leaves, twigs and branches isn't really what I I had in mind anyway.
Can't believe there's only two weekends left!!!! Lovely pics by the way.

Great write up and fantastic of Martin to spend his time with you. Pleased you learnt so much - would love to have an opportunity like that one day.

Hi David...yeah...it's a jungle out there! try this link...it's a Fladen rod/reel set...8' #4-6 and costs 50 quid. I have one as a spare for when I have guests and it's a bargain for the price.

If you need any further help give me a shout.
Excellent - thanks Moggy.

Hi. It's been a long time since I last had a fly rod etc, and I'm looking around for something suitable. Trouble is, I don't know what's good or bad, and could really do with some helpful advice.
Been on tacklebargains, and seen some Airflo and Left Kreh rods - neither of which I've ever heard of. Are they any good?
I'd like something around 8 to 8.5 feet, and 4/5 weight. Total budget up to about £120 for both rod and reel together. Would really appreciate any recommendations.
Many thanks in advance
David

Fantastic looking fish. Well done both of you.

Hi folks.
I've got a small network at a customer's site - only 4 XP PCs - and they use Netbios for name resolution. There's no DNS or WINS.
One PC (name is staff2) is supposed to have a mapped drive to a share on another PC called pack1.
Initially after startup, staff2 cannot resolve the name pack1 - at least when trying to map a drive or using ping. However, if I do an nbtstat -A [pack1's IP address], name resolution subsequently works fine.
I had previously noticed that pack1's node type was "hybrid", which I believe means it looks for a WINS server first, so I've added a registry setting to force it to use "broadcast". However, it's staff2 that's having the trouble resolving names, and that's always been "broadcast". Either way, my changes didn't improve things.
For now, I've written the customer a batch file that does this nbtstat operation that they can run if they are having trouble accessing the share on pack1. But obviously this is a pretty shoddy fix, and I'd love to know why this is happening.
They're all DHCP clients and though I could make them static (or reserve them against MAC address) and provide host file entries, I'd like to see if I can work out why it's not working as it is.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks
David

Its a load of rubbish and old rubbish to boot This is taken from the MOD/Red Arrows website:
The Red Arrows are not Disbanding!
We have had quite a few emails bemoaning the fact that the Red Arrows are disbanding - at least, they are, according to a well-known UK aviation magazine. Thank you all for your concern but you can relax.
Let me reassure you: the Red Arrows are not being disbanded, nor are we being taken over by a well-known British Company that has just changed its name. The magazine in question ran an article in which the columnist made his own tongue-in-the-cheek predictions for 2000. I must say, having just bought the magazine and read the article, it is easy to see why some readers might have thought it was a genuine news item if they did not also read the heading at the top of the page.
As I have written often before in these pages: the latest information about the Red Arrows will always be found right here first. As a matter of fact, reports from quite a few newspapers and magazines from many countries now use these pages as the basis of their stories about the Team. I know that because they call me at Cranwell to tell me so.
I have just bought Encarta 2000 Reference Suite on DVD for my private use at home. The first thing I did after installing it was to search for "Red Arrows". And we are there! It would make the pilots blush with pride if I told you how it describes the Team so you will have to look for yourselves. However, the hot links provided by the on-line Encarta web site will lead you - guess where? Yes, right here. Now that is fame!
That article (http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/archive00jan.html) is indeed old - 7 years old! This latest threat is about the MOD admitting that the red arrows are to be included in a general review.
From the MOD's site (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceNews/DefencePolicyAndBusiness/DefenceNewsDailyarchive13January200726Janauary2007.htm):
Red Arrows future
It has been reported, again, that the Red Arrows 'face the axe' in the next round of defence cuts. The Red Arrows budget for 2006/07 is £5.2 million, and the planned budget for 2007/08 is £5.6 million. Costs for all MOD activity, including that of the Red Arrows, are examined on a regular basis. As part of the current planning round, a range of proposals for the defence programme is being considered. Decisions on these proposals will be made later this year. A study is underway that considers future basing options for the Red Arrows. However, no decision has yet been taken.
Granted they're not saying that the red arrows are definitely going to be axed, but it certainly doesn't hurt to help make the government realise that this is important to some people.

Well done for posting this. I've signed up and will be passing on to as many people as I can.

i did find a hook a long time ago almost imbedded in my arse cheeck with this knot but through the eye...
Well I hope it wasn't one of mine Andy
As for the picture of the hook and knot, just use the no knot for eyed hooks, so easy.What's a no knot? Had a look on google, but all I got was some scary stuff about kites.
A long, long time ago someone told me not to use the eye on a hook, just treat it like a spade. Can't say I know if it makes a difference because I've always done what they said!

Tie your own hooks, even if you have to do it at home. Get a matchman hooktyer and learn how to use it.
My beloved, 15 year old matchman broke about a year ago, and after struggling to get used to a drennan, I gave up and have been tieing (tying?) by hand since.
Rather bored at work I was pleased to come across the Hooks to Nylon topic, and thought I'd draw my way of hand-tieing a hook and see what others think of it!
I think it's pretty much the way a matchman works, but even though I've been sitting here for the last 15 minutes practising with my old broken tier, some thread and a pin, I can't really work out whether it's doing the same thing!
The knot seems ok in use - I've not lost any fish - but if I'm snagged up, it's usually this knot that appears to be the breaking point.
Be interesting to hear how others tie their hooks, and please excuse my rather shaky mouse drawing skills.

Just to update the problem, I've managed to sign in from my PC at work so I know the email address and password is working OK. I'll try again when I get home.
If your son can sign in via his windows account but not on yours, then it sounds like the your profile is messed up.
Can you access other secure sites? e.g. https://mcp.microsoft.com/mcp. Don't try and login - just see if the page comes up. I've seen it where a profile goes wrong and IE can't do anything with SSL. It also stops MSN working.
If you can't access the site above, have a look http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813444 for a big list of things to do to try and fix this.
Another thought is that logins can get associated with your user account. When logged in as yourself, try Start - Run, and type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press return.
You'll get a black window come up. At the prompt type:
control userpasswords2
(followed by return). Your user settings dialog should come up. Click on the "Advanced" tab and click the "Manage Passwords" button. Clear out all the stored passwords - you'll probably see your sister's in there!
Once you've cleared them, best to at least log off and back on again, if not restart the computer.
Hope some of this helps.

Can someone give me an exact date of when I will be able to purchase this domain myself ?
Looks like you've got 34 days to go - 29 remaining in REDEMPTIONPERIOD then another 5 in PENDINGDELETE. Once it's available, the whois search won't come up with anything.

Hi Stinca
I think there are some DT barbel fishing on the tonbridge stretch of the medway below the flood barrier but I have not fished it. You might wish to check with the local tackle shop or Tonbrisge APS.
meatballs
Though they do say there's some barbel in there, there's very few of them, and I've not heard of one being caught for a long time. I looked into this a while ago, but didn't find anything. Eventually joined a club.

Yeah - I'm signed up for Webmaster Tools, but it tells me nothing
Oh.
Well, I've mailed the results for Accomodation / UK to elton@anglersnet.co.uk. Hope that's ok.

I'm on it - might get some good ideas for a holiday while I'm there!
Have you tried the webmaster tools on google? I did this a while ago, so can't remember exactly, but after setting up an account, you have to verify the site is yours (just plonk a suitably named file anywhere on the site) and then you can run various checks on it.
In the meantime, the only way I know that you can "contact" google is their forum type thing. Not much use though really.

I love this site and would love to support it. Have had a look around but can't find anything relevant to setting up a contribution. Can you give me a pointer?
Ferret's point strikes me as most immediately relevant. I'm a programmer with a lot of experience of web applications, managed hosting solutions, and databases and would be more than happy to try and help out at a technical level.
