I can access the site via Lubuntu on the same machine. Clearly, the problem lies somewhere in Windows

For some reason, Windows refuses to let any program (utorrent, iexplore, firefox...) connect to animetorrents.me (reporting that it cannot locate the server in Firefox and telling the me machine actively refused the connection in uTorrent) I can access the site through a proxy (eg: by going to...

I often use alt+F4 to close out of programs (being a fan of keyboard shortcuts generally). Unfortunately, if I hit this while focused on the desktop, Windows thinks it's time to shutdown/restart and presents a rather annoying prompt. Is it possible to disable this last behaviour while still...

9 Addresses for every American who can vote? That's a very small number, when you consider he rest of the world population- including nations increasing in population and technological competency. Cell phones, laptops, smart tvs, blu-ray players and the like with embedded youtube- all need IP...

That's not so many, really, if we continue down the path of everybody's every device being internet-connected. There are 206 million eligible voters in the US 2,000,000,000 /206,072,000 ~ 9 addresses/ person, ignoring the fact that there are other people on the planet. As IPv6 becomes...

Okay, I dug deeper and it seems that the problem is my ISP, Cox Communications, which delayed deployment of IPv6 support until next year for all residential customers, according to their site. Can I add 'Cox' to the search terms for this thread in case anyone else with this ISP has the same...

Test your IPv6. IPv6 test - IPv6/4 connectivity and speed test Xfinity IPv6 Readiness Test Ready for the future of the Internet? What is my IPv6 Address? All negative at home and school, with two ISPs, on both wifi and ethernet :/ When I look at the ethernet adapter properties in Device...

My router (new Belkin N router that cost ~80 bucks) has an option to enable/disable IPv6 passthrough, and it is enabled. That should mean it supports IPv6, yes? Tested on LAN, and now on WiFi at another location, with the same results. Haven't had a chance to test another operating system.

No IPv6 Connectivity (solved: no COX support til 2015) I am on wifi on 8.1 on my HP envy 15-j023cl. IPv6 is enabled in the properties of all network adapters, yet I have no IPv6 connectivity (all tests say I have no IPv6). What am I missing? I haven't had a chance to test an Ethernet connection.

I sometimes want to move my browser such that a playing video i(inside the browser) is sitting at the top-left of the screen, but I can only move the window until the title bar of the window is at the top of the screen. I can go to the bottom, but would prefer the top. Is it possible to move a...

I'm on an HP laptop running 8.1 (the laptop came with 8 and I updated through the app store). I want to shrink the C drive and extend the D partition that the machine came with. I learned from google that Windows can now shrink the C drive (which sounded awesome), but it only let me remove 40 of...

Running in a VM is pointless in my case, as I need Linux largely because 8.1 broke fastboot and no known working drivers exist, meaning I can only make changes to my android device in Linux now, whereas I used to be able to do so from Windows 7

If the machine came with Windows 8, is it true you can only reinstall with the 1 set of disks it lets you burn or (if a disk gets scratched), you have to but media from the manufacturer (if they still sell it) or buy a new copy of windows?

Laptop came with Windows 8 and has been updated to 8.1 Installed Ubuntu on a new partition, but no matter how many times I try, I can't get the machine to load Grub at power-on. If I boot Super Grub Disk/Rescatux, I see the installed Ubuntu, but other tools (like EasyBCD) only see Windows...
