If too many programs are running or if too many incoming connections are on your computer, it could slow your CPU speed down.

Is it okay to port forward when you have firewall?

Yes, so long as you know the risks involved in doing so. It is often necessary to use port forwarding on a firewall in order for some things to work. For instance, if you wanted to run a web server on your computer, you would need to forward port 80 and perhaps 443 to your computer that way other people on the Internet could actually see it. Also, port forwarding is also needed for Bit Torrent. Bit Torrent will allow incoming connections on a port designated by the client's settings. If you do not allow incoming connections, you will not be able to upload the file to anyone else.


What URL would you use in your computer browser to test the functionality of the intranet website you just created?

You can use the IP address of the computer that is hosting the website (i.e. http://192.168.1.5/), or for Windows, you can usually use the computer's "host name", such as http://www-server/. Finally, if you are running a domain (i.e. you have Windows 200x Server installed), you can use the FQDN of the server, such as (http://www-server.intranet.local/). Be sure the firewall on the computer you are hosting the service on allows incoming connections for port 80, or port 443 for SSL/TLS connections. Several tools are available on Windows for the creation and maintenance of host names. See the related links.


Can a wireless network adapter be used on an old computer?

If you are using an old computer, it may not have wireless connections. My advice would be to use a wireless router for your connection. If this doesn't help, I would also connect with an adapter.


Wow much traffic can one website handle?

It depends on the server, the servers also will sometimes have a limit of connections allowed at one time and after that limit is reached it won't allow connections from anyone else until someone leaves. There are also ping requests and if someone is intentionally trying to crash the server then each ping would be 60,000 bytes which ten minutes on full blast would cripple most websites.

Where You Can Purchase Fax Ink Cartridges?

Many people have found that you can buy fax ink cartridges online. Fax machines are often attached to a printer. Therefore, the same cartridges for a printer would be needed for the faxes that are incoming. Any incoming faxes will cause the ink to run out faster, and this is why people try to limit the number of faxes they receive.


Where is the computer on a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker?

If memory serves me right, you will find it inside the intake air duct. They put it there so the incoming air for the engine would cool the unit.

Can a UTI cause a seizure?

Yes, this is more common on people that already have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy. Repeated infections can lower the seizure threshold. Also, antibiotics used to treat UTIs, especially fluoroquinolones, can increase seizure activity in epileptics. Fevers are sometimes present with UTIs, and fevers can also produce seizures. This is more likely in an elderly patient with diminished blood flow to the brain. If the person is unable to communicate that they are in pain due to a stroke or other reason, they also may be more likely to have a seizure.
