Which remote machine? This is all on my laptop, connecting using PPPoE.
I'm running WinXP Home.

Yeah sure! I just did it now, manually. Opened the web page and typed in my IP. I don't mind paying for the couple of KB use to load the webpage or that an update client uses. But my server is for file sharing, and the international bandwidth is way too expensive for that.
BTW - It seems I get a gig of free international bandwidth at the beginning of each month on that connection.

Re: PunBB on my Laptop (15 replies, posted in PunBB show off)
No MattF, that not what I'm referring to. Sorry, I should have been clearer:
I have two internet connections. One that can access only local (South African) sites and one that can access international sites as well. I want to update an international dynamic DNS server with the local only IP address. I cannot connect to the DNS server through the local only IP address.
Currently the dynamic DNS client connects through the international IP and updates with that address. But the port forwarding that you are referring to, I deliberately did not set up on that IP because I'm paying much more for bandwidth used through that connection.
Here in SA were are seriously starved of bandwidth. International traffic costs about 10 times more than local.

No, sorry. That's a problem with the Dynamic DNS. I'm updating it manually now. 
Anyone know of a Dynamic DNS client that will detect and send the IP from another connection and not the one through which it is connecting to the DNS Server?

Re: IP to Country (26 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
I've fixed it so that it should display a question mark when it's unsure of the country. I got the database from an external site, hope the updated database is more, well, up-to-date.
Please let me know if this works.

Wait a sec. I just got a new IP and it looks like the local cap has kicked in. I don't think you will be able to access it now. Please let me know.

Hey that's great. That's not much longer than this site takes here in SA. Gotta love PunBB!

Grant's Server Support Forum - This is the support forum for a server I run on my laptop at home. It connects via wireless to a 384 kbps ADSL line so the connection is slow and the site is only up when I'm online. Still, PunBB runs fairly well...
The internet connection I'm using is a lot cheaper per gigabyte because it is only supposed to provide access to local (South African) websites. I have, however, received reports that people from other countries are also able to access my site. Please check it out, and let me know if you can:

Re: copyright for punbb (5 replies, posted in General discussion)
Perhaps the idea is somewhat ridiculous, but there is a certain appeal in the thought of dispensing with a large segment of the legal profession using a single line of code.

I've made a Google PageRank Button which displays the page rank of any page on which it is displayed:
Does anyone think it would be worth making an extension of this?

Re: vBulletin sucks (8 replies, posted in General discussion)
Not crazy about vBulletin either. When you are used to posting on PunBB, vBulletin seems slow and sluggish by comparison, even on a local server.

Re: Tags (pun_tags) (55 replies, posted in Supported extensions)
Actually, now that I've though about it some more. It would be better if all tags got converted to lower case. Unless you can get it to ignore case when sorting alphabetically, which I think would be fairly hard to do, competition will force them all upper or all lower anyway. I'd rather see tags like "php" than "BUY NOW"

Re: Tags (pun_tags) (55 replies, posted in Supported extensions)
Perhaps I'm too much of a pedant, but I've been editing some of the spelling errors in the tags that users submit. One spelling error which I have been coming across more frequently, probably a deliberate one, is the capitalisation of of tags that are neither proper nouns nor acronyms. While correcting such tags I came across a rather annoying bug:
Tags which are edited in such a way as to change the first letter from upper to lower case, disappear when submitted!
I then have to click back and re-submit the edited post. Since more and more members seem to be capitalising all of their tags, even though I have repeatedly asked them not to do so, this is creating a lot of extra work for me. Now, looking at the problem from psychological point of view, it seems that the actual root of the problem is the fact that capitalised tags are displayed first. Is there perhaps a way to change this in the meanwhile?
