hmm, believe it or not, i don't recall ever having one "die" on me (in spite of my molex incident), i suppose you'd call it "dumb luck"?
anywayz, if you think juggling hard drives is tricky, try computers...i have 3: my "high-end" AMD64 3200+, the old Win98 box, that i only use if i need one of the programs that didn't quite "port over" to WinXP, and a laptop that rivals most of my friends' Desktops (which, of course, i use on lunch break at work to work on some personal projects i have going). i always have at least one of them running something...

Hmm, well I have two units here and need to get the data from one to the other when it uses a RAID array and I want to use the same disks in external boxes! How does that rank on your scale? LOL - a laptop that rivals a desktop? Battery can't last for more than 45 minutes then!

man have you got MY number!
actually, i upgraded to Dell's 8-hour battery, so it lasts about 2 and a half hours, LOL :D
i almost went with RAID myself, but after weighing the pros and cons for 2 weeks, my hard drive filled up, so that solved that decision ;)

LOL! Yeah, I know someone with a £1700 Alienware Area51-m Laptop that only lasts about 40 minutes if it gets used to the full, about an hour and a bit if it doesn't. That's an older unit though, so it's a P4 3.0Ghz Northwood, either 512MB or 1GB of RAM (I forget) and a GeForce GoFX5700. Funny how that seems quite slow compared to most desktops now! Mind you, the 17" 1680x1050 screen is nice. Well, I thought that until I got an LCD anyway. It took me until late August this year to jump on that bandwagon.

lolz, yeah, i know. i'm still using the same CRT i've had since '99! still handles anything i throw at it (up to 1280x1024, mind you, but still...). anyway, i say streaming videos on hi-speed are to small at screen sizes bigger than that (that's MY story and i'm sticking to it ;P ). even "full-screened" vids look crappy @ 1920x1200 (trust me).
and an older unit with a 3.0Ghz P4? sheesh! i could never afford Alienware anywayz; i customized mine with Dell: Intel Core Duo T2500 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM, and GeForce Go 7800, so it's plenty fast at anything i throw at it (which helps since i only have an hour lunch to use it!)
cost me about $1800 (about 970 British pounds), but it's worth every lunch i had to miss ;)
oh, one thing about those GeForce cards i DON'T like is that "screen flicker" when you right click a video file. however:

Hi
I already have emule working with High ID on my Desktop and now I want to added emule to my Laptop and it has low ID, I already created 3 ports at my DLink DI 514 rourter but I'm not sure what Laptop address 192.168 etc.. but I'm not sure each port should I pick for my second computer and emule.
Right now is what I have working with my desktop
emule 1- Private IP 192.168.0.101 TCP 4662/4662
emule 2- Private IP 192.168.0.101 UDP 4672/4672
emule 3- Private IP 192.168.0.101 Both 4711/4711
And in emule I have 4661 TCP 4672 UDP
Now for the Laptop I tired repeting the same thing I had wiith my desktop with my laptop. I tired using the same ports number for both computer with a different IP address but it doesn't let me, so I did this
emule 1- Private IP 192.168.0.102 TCP 4663/4663
emule 2- Private IP 192.168.0.102 UDP 4671/4671
emule 3- Private IP 192.168.0.102 Both 44710/4710
And in emule I have 4662 TCP 4670 UDP * what are the right number I should use here (emule).
I don't even know if the port numbers I chose for TCP 4663/4663,UDP 4671/4671, Both 44710/4710 in my router are Ok with emule. Can somepone help me please. I would reallty appreciate

Hey punisher, thanks for the info :D
For some reason when I bought my 200HD (D), WinXP wouldn't recognize it, so I was told to get SP2, and everything worked. Weird.
So, the partition of the HD is remembered by the HD and not the System, as in My WinXP isn't the one to remember that my HD was partitioned? If I take the HD and plug it into another PC, it'll show up as partitioned?
If that's the case, then Great. Thanks for all the help. Thanks 4 reminders to others too ;). That's some tricky stuff darkflux, thanks.
btw, you guys say you can't partition over 32GB... stuff... My 200GB is halved, so 2 100s(a bit under 100). So I musta used NTFS??
Great NVIDIA link, I got one, and hope I don't have this problem.
ICE
ronehowe,
I'll try to poke around on what you've said. To my understanding, your eMule must be using the same post as the one you've specified in your Router. So, your PC and Router TCP are the same, they match, and that's why you can get HighID. The Laptop's Router specified number is higher by one number, so your Laptop eMule TCP should be also 1 higher.
So from PC 4662 to router 4662 is good.
Laptop should go 4663 to router 4663, not 4662 to 4663.
(And, why is your 1st number for "Both" so high? did you mean 4710/4710 not 44710/4710?)
Get back after checking the above stuff

Oh, and Laptop's eMule UDP should be 4671 not 4670.
Open a door, and use that door. ports are doors. if you open port/door # 5555, you use that port/door by the program.
Kinda like a house, you live at this address, and not your neighbour's address, so if you openned your door, and are trying to get into your neighbour's house, it won't work.
I hope all this jumble helps...

to simplify what IceDaMan was saying: if you change a port on your router, you must change it in the respective computer's eMule. so when you changed the port numbers in the router (for your laptop) to 4663/4671, you should've changed the eMule ports (in the eMule on your laptop) to those numbers (respectively), and not "4662/4670".
i'm also curious what "Both" is set for. is there a setting that requires both of the same port number to be open?
one other thing: is your WinXP's ICF firewall on? if so, then you need to open the ports in it as well.
if none of this works, you should definitely try punisher1's checklist (page 28, 13. August 2006 @ 11:29). follow it exactly (you may want to print it out for reference),adjusting when necessary to account for YOUR router's settings. it's long, but it's worked for many a setup.
oh, Ice: you are correct in assuming that ANY WinXP PC should be able to recognize your hard drive's partitions (barring some unknown strange settings, that i'm unaware of). and you probably DID format NTFS, since it is the default when you right-click a drive and choose "Format". you can always check by right-clicking the HD in "My Computer" and clicking "Properties".

hey, IceDaMan the answer to your question is 'yes'. it doesn't matter what system you put the hard drive in it is still partitioned the same way as it came out of your original computer. basically, a partition has nothing really to do with windows. In-fact a partition is created prior to Windows installation. Partitions (i believe) existed even as far back as DOS. err-uh, DOS, what??
Also, remember if your windowsXP partition is corrupt and you cannot boot but you have data files you can plug that hard drive into another bootable system and retrieve your data off that C:\ partition. again, the partition(s) are still fine so long as the Drive is not physically damaged.
hope this helps.

ronehowe it sounds like you have have your computer, laptop and router configured correctly.
However, it sounds like your laptop might be using what was once your computer's ip address. if so you need to reconfigure your router and add both IP address for emule TCP/UDP ports.
if your pc and laptop boot up at the same time its easy for IP's to swap between the two.
since you are using two computers you must configure Port Forwarding for both devices. this is basically how your router should look depending on what router you are using too. This is just an example.
Bye-the-way I use different ports.
(c - for computer, l - for Laptop but it doesn't really matter because as i said before they can change between the the two)
TCPc 4660 4660 192.167.1.100 enable
UDPc 4670 4670 192.168.1.100 enable
TCPl 4660 4660 192.168.1.101 enable
UDPl 4670 4670 195.168.1.101 enable
not sure if i'm the right track but hope this helps.

Right now I have like this
Desktop
TCP 4662 4662 192.167.1.101 enable my router and TCP 4662 emule
UDP 4672 4672 192.168.1.101 enable my router and UDI 4672 emule \
Both (TCP)4711 4711 192.168.1.101 enable my router
Laptop
TCP 4663 4663 192.168.1.102 enable my router and TCP 4663 emule
UDP 4671 4671 195.168.1.101 enable my router and UDI 4671 emule
Both (TCP)4710 4710 192.168.1.101 enable my router
The reason I used the "both" option is because I found this info at the Dlink site about port forwarding when I first set up the emule on my desktop laptop 2 years ago for my desktop. I select Both instead of TCP or UDI but once is saved it appears as TCP. So now that I'm trying to add my laptop to all this I did the same thing.

Thanks to all about info on HD stuff :D *bowdown*
thanks for the help all.
punisher1, haha, the DOS bit was funny hehe.
ronehowe, try this(the bolded stuff is the #s I changed from yours)(Before you change anything, write down which numbers you're changing and underline them, but I think that should definitely solve everything):
PC
TCP 4662 4662 192.168.1.101 enable router & TCP 4662 emule
(I think this was the cause of PC not getting HighID)
UDP 4672 4672 192.168.1.101 enable router & UDI 4672 emule
Both (TCP)4711 4711 192.168.1.101 enable router
Laptop
TCP 4663 4663 192.168.1.102 enable router & TCP 4663 emule
UDP 4671 4671 195.168.1.102 enable router & UDI 4671 emule
Both (TCP)4710 4710 192.168.1.102 enable router
You basically have some conflicts. Your goal is to make all of the (key) numbers of the PC and Laptop different.

ronehowe, what's the status??
D'u get it all working? I formatted my PC, so I had to get lost for a couple days/weeks.
The numbers that you just put up should be perfect.
The only thing that could be messing things up is if you did not allow eMule to be an exception in the Windows firewall or Norton Internet Security firewall, or some other firewall program.
Also, try to do a range, like 4646-4664 as opposed to 4646-4646. If there is some other program that is using the port you've specified, you may be getting a conflict, and a low ID?? I dunno. I just give a range of 5 or 10. Let eMule do it's thing.

Hi Icedaman
It's working now, both computers. I finally found out what was the problem. I don't know why but for some reason my router from time to time change the IP address of the computer. So even tough I had everything right with emule, firewall, router set up etc.. the ip had changed so it wasn't recognizing the set up. Now every time I get a low ID I know that I have to change the IP back to what it was manually, and it works again. Thanks

hey ron, glad ya got everything (sorta) working :)
the reason your IP Addy changes, is probably because your router is set to "Automatic DHCP", which means that it automatically assigns an IP Add. to each PC when they "ask", usually starting with the lowest IP available. so, if you restart your PC's (or turn them off) at the same or similar times, they may acquire different IP addresses from time to time. the only way around this is to switch routing to "Static Routing" for the PC's, where each PC has it's own, same IP, all the time. i can post a walkthrough if you like, just ask :)
cheers,
df

Hey, maybe someone can explain this to me. So, I have eMule and LimeWire.
LimeWire has absolutely no problem connecting thru the router, and I get 100+kb/s no problem. It uses UPnP. No router setting up required.
eMule, I must set the router up for it to get high ID.
Is UPnP that much better, where it will recognize the router and all, and give better speeds?

i don't have Limewire, but a friend of mine does, and if i remember correctly, it doesn't protect you from the RIAA/MPAA, etc., whereas eMule does (to a degree). this is also the reason why Limewire downloads are abit faster; there's no filter of who can connect to you.
so basically, you need to set up the router in eMule for it to know how to connect to the other computers the it deems okay, because eMule connects differently than Limewire does, in order to implement the "security" features better. i hope that made sense.
btw, eMule uses uPnP, too.

when you click "Run...", you need to type "cmd" then when the black command line pops up, type in "ipconfig /all". don't type the quotes, of course, and don't forget the space.
