Gaz's PC Set Up
My PC Configuration
This is what the setup of my PC looks like at the minute, so anything I can
get to work you should if you have the same or better.
My current Internet Service Provider is Worldonline
- Tiscali Unlimited. Its £15 per month and I can go on the internet anytime for
free. It kicks you off every 2 hours though :(

About Gaz's Stuff:
Printer: My Epson Stylus Colour 680 is a decent printer. However it seems to
gobble ink (which isn't cheap) and there is a problem with the design of it
whereby sometimes it starts to suck the last sheet of paper printed that's in
the tray back inside it. Therefore it chews it all up and needs to be printed
again :( Also when using the USB lead to connect to the computer sometimes the
computer needs resetting when I turn the printer on for it to work. I'm not sure
if this problem is caused by the printer or the computer?

How to set up you PC as a server:
Get the server prog Personal
Web Server 1.0a. Install it.
Choose the Directories you want to share by
right clicking on the Drive and go to "Sharing". Next add the shared
directorys to PWS Right click on the little computer Icon on the tak bat that
looks like this: 
Register at http://www.selfhost.com/ Get "shooter"
program so you
don't need the selfhost page open all the time.Put your selfhost username and
password into the shooter prog. Now whenever you want your server running just
start the shooter. The URL you need to give people will be something like this: http://gazuk.selfhost.com
or If you want to let people see other hard drives and CD drives in your
computer just add their drive letter to the end like this: http://gazuk.selfhost.com/D/
Make sure you have added this drive to PWS Administration first.
