Start without the card on.
BTW, have you tried the card on another system? Nothing prevents the card from being defective as well. Not my first option, but an option nevertheless.

Anyway, I'd to this: start without the card and AFTER the system is up & running, plug the card in. You can damage nothing doing that with a PCMCIA card, cause they were designed to work that way.

Ahhhh could someone enlighten me about the open_basedir restrictions topic? Some of us have never even been to Sweden!
And that seems like some problem I might have to care about.

... make that accept 0,1,2,3,4,5,6... we've still got one full byte to fill, c'mon!

I must say, though, that what CodeDuck says makes sense: either you want to see imaged smilies or not, but why would you want others not to see yours, and still have to take other people's?

BTW, *I* like image smilies

There's a mod that does what you want. It actually does more, but you can easily strip it down, if you want.
Go here to check it out.

You receive two cookies on the first load of the page. Since The server cannot read if the cookies were accepted until the page is reloaded, that's why there's a reload button. If you reload, then on the lines below, a description of both cookies should appear:
NoHTTPOnly=Visible
HTTPOnly=Invisible_for_MSIE

Then, pressing any of the other buttons, you should see either that the invisible label becomes visible with info similar to that one provided by opera, or that it appears on a popup. I don't have *any* experience with firefox, so I can't tell, although I've DLed it, I'm not that eager to install more soft on this machine, so I'll probably start up the linux box and test it there.

The thing is, if you're using MSIE6.01 or superior, the cookies that include HttpOnly cannot be read from a script within the page, thus making them in theory invulnerable to xss cookie hijacking. I say in theory, cause you could create a java applet that accessed directly the page and stole the whole http headers, but then the site must already be xss vulnerable, as usual. Somebody mentioned a combination of flash, java and a script could in theory allow you to steal the cookie, so this new behavior of the navigator is not a panacea, but it's a first step, which makes it much harder to properly abuse an xss vulnerability. But not impossible. Navigators that don't support the httponly tag, should degrade gracefully and have no further problems (but no special immunity also) whatsoever.

Fiu, whether it works or not, you can't say I didn't write about it

Hmmm I'd say you need to restart the system and after it's started plug in the card.
Well, anyway, I'd start by uninstalling the existing drivers and DLing new drivers from the INet (here, start the install from scratch.

If you already did that... well, I really don't know what to say. W98 can be generally manually troubleshooted, but I wouldn't dare trying that thorugh a bbs... not even by phone

Good luck!

Jejeje, that was my very first guess

Am I gooooooood!!

Can you move his computer? To your physical location (that is, network). His ISP might as well be supplying him with a 'transparent' proxy. I've seen that happen in Spain.

Or, if you're lazy, I'd modify line 37 of admin_options.php

    // Lazy referer check (in case base_url isn't correct)
    if (!preg_match('#/admin_options\.php#i', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
                        die('Your Referer:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
        //message($lang_common['Bad referer'].' <a href="mailto:'.$pun_config['o_admin_email'].'">'.$pun_config['o_admin_email'].'</a>.');

And ask him to try again. Then see what message is he having and from then on, investigate. Don't forget to recover the original file afterwards...

Good hunting!

Well, I must agree with the people here. The most atttractive thing of punBB is its lightweight. It provides all you really need to host a forum, and most of the things you'd like to have you can easily implement.

I use it as an extra value to my site, where my customers can discuss about bugs and request features or simply express their opinion, and it was peanuts to integrate it. Besides, I've learnt a lot of good programming techniques browsing through most of the code. If I want phpBB or IV or whatever, I can go and get them. The minute you start competing with the others, you're running a competitive race, that you're likely going to lose unless you've got a really good supporting team.

So, due to its flavour, punBB is the best choice for me. If it changes completely, it won't be. Don't misunderstand me, flashy boards are nice to see, but they serve a different purpose. If I wanted to attract people, I wouldn't be using punBB (no disrespect meant) just as it is, but I'd be adding lots of mods, or simply get another package that is easier to install and has them allready.

Maintaining this board simple and at the same time updating the mods is much more work than integrating them and forgetting about them, but with a little work from the user (and don't forget we're talking free products here) you can customize it as well.

Oh, well, that's so much for ranting, each position has its advantages, so I guess we'll all be of different opinions... which is much better than the opposite

Just a couple of ideas to look at, since I believe from your post that your config is correct.

Is he using some firewall or some third party software that might be framing the contents?
Is he trying to access through some proxy that translates to the ip address?
Is he trying to access through https instead of http (or the inverse)?
Is he using a mac? (J/K)
