well, my previous post was some rantings about outsourcing which may have upset some of the people I work with needlessly, especially as I was rather drunk so it contained a number of spelling mistakes!
Heres a new post. The media centre that I have built has a lot of films now stored on it that I have recorded from videos. In order to make them viewable via my laptop in other rooms in the house and indeed other peoples houses I have setup a server using dyndns. The impossible to understand thing is, sometimes I cannot access the centre directly using the internal LAN but I can access it over the www name. Even stranger still is the fact that when I can ping the www address I cannot ping the local address but this only happens for a finite length of time before I suddely get a ping response on the local address almost like its timing out something before it then lets me in locally, I thought this might be the port trigger mechanism but it is not configured to trigger on any ports yet.
I assume there is something illconfigured on my router but can't for the life of me figure it out.
The other thing that puzzles me is how do I install the totem plugin on opera, it should be able to accept mozilla plugins but can't see any automated thing to do it, guess I'll have to learn how to configure plugins on opera.
