Windows 10 is for suckers: Windows 10 is new, shiny and best avoided - for now.

I'm waiting at least 6 months before I install W10 probably, but for those that already did on here you might want to look at these:

[GUIDE] How to disable data logging in W10.

Things to remove/disable in windows 10

Got W10 enterprahz installed on my work lappy. Disabled all the cloud/sharing shit. brb removing all live tiles from the start menu

**theholycow** · 08-04-2015, 08:32 PM

I installed it in a VM. First thing I did was turn off all dat shet, second was remove all tiles from start menu. Start menu might be tolerable, I might could skip installing Classic Shell.

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2015, 08:50 PM

I still find the "right click start" (Win+X) menu to be the best thing to happen in W8/10

so easy to open cmd, System, Device Manager, Programs/Features, etc quickly.

Hi Hi Hi!

Who wants to help me with port forwarding for Wake on LAN with a DD-WRT tp-link wr842nd version 1 router?

Note that I am willing to send someone my teamviewer information to gget this done. Spent like 5-6hrs on this the past few days, and my patience is being very tested. Hahaha.

VmaxEngage · 08-09-2015, 10:42 PM

What you want wake on lan fer? so you can wake your computer up if you want to connect to it remotely?

race2c · 08-09-2015, 11:18 PM

Yeop. The computer is my HTPC/media server, so it doesn't run all the time to save electricity/power.

VmaxEngage · 08-10-2015, 12:49 AM

You should just have to enable wake on magic packet on the NIC of the server

It might have to be enabled in the BIOS as well. I have never messed with it personally tho, so that's all I can help with lol

As for the port forwarding, that should be pretty straight forward for that router

race2c · 08-10-2015, 12:53 AM

Yeah, but for some reason, I am not able to get it to work from outside the LAN. thus, I am thinking there is something i missed in the DD-wrt setup.

VmaxEngage · 08-10-2015, 01:12 AM

do you have an exception put in for the built in firewall on the server?

race2c · 08-10-2015, 01:25 AM

Yes, I believe so. I can check later this evening. The previous router build had an exception on ports 7 and 9. Do I need to update exception if the router firmware is different than before?

VmaxEngage · 08-10-2015, 01:42 AM

Firmware may changes settings, I know it does on some network devices

You running windows server?

Think you may have to put an exception on its firewall if its running

race2c · 08-10-2015, 01:57 AM

Nah, its just windows 8.1 Not that its a full-blown server, but its more just a desktop pc serving as my HTPC/plex setup.

**stonehenge** · 08-10-2015, 02:13 AM

In some rare cases, ISPs will block ports. This usually isnt the case though, unless its port 80 or something.

race2c · 08-10-2015, 02:16 AM

Prior to installing DD-WRT (on the stock tp link firmware) everything worked.

Want to take a look via teamviewer??? will send money via paypal for time/fixes.
