Re: Remote Support Best Practice?

It depends on the kind of tasks you're trying to perform remotely. On my placement job we had a very similar situation to yours.

However, depending on the task there was normally a way round it, for example, when launching a setup file to right click > run as and put in admin credentials.

Recently I passed my driving test, it took me two tests to pass; on the second I passed with only two minors which I was pretty happy about. But im just curious, do any of you openly admit to picking up bad habits over the years since you passed your test? Throughout my lessons and generally walking...

Re: Very weird Steam problem

Yar, I think the router is throttling your connection OR the router is overloaded with the number of requests steam throws at it. You can do a further test by running a 'ping -t' from one of the other PCs to the router while you run the steam list... if the other PC shows dropped packets like the l...

Here is the route prints when everything is fine and just after steam apparently causes problems: E:\Documents and Se...
