Check with another computer if you don't know what is supposed to be there. The IP Address will be a bit different on another computer on the network, but everything else should be the same. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3171 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:17:05 +0000 BillW50 3171@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well BuBBy, you can be one day ahead because you use your time zone, right? Because by GMT, you are not late. At least that makes sense to me. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3170 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:14:39 +0000 BillW50 3170@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I don't know BuBBy? I have seen some limited connectivity act really weird. Some ports would work while some others wouldn't. Usually running IPCONFIG will expose it though. At least for me it usually does. And if not all of the time, it was faulty hardware. The last time it happened, I had limited connectivity from wireless (card or USB) and Ethernet, but dialup and HomePNA (USB) worked just fine. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3169 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:12:09 +0000 BuBBy 3169@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here in Australia, we beta test each day before most of the rest of the world gets to install. So while everyone else is running Wednesday 14th - we have already upgraded to Thursday 15th.</p> <p>(I guess if you find any bugs in your day - it's probably our fault).</p> <p>My point - every day we install a giveaway passed the "day of the giveaway". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3168 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:11:35 +0000 bballchicklet 3168@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I just pinged and it worked fine.

But someone once mentioned that they couldn't activate when the date on the computer was passed the day of the giveaway, not before.

I do the same (not through choice - ie. mania) It's reassuring to know you cannot die directly because of lack of sleep (although driving isn't a good idea).</p> <p>Back on topic - make sure you change default browser through "Set Program Access and Defaults" or</p> <p>%SystemRoot%\system32\control.exe appwiz.cpl,,3</p> <p>If you don't have a link to it.</p> <p>What is the "correct date and time" from the viewpoint of GOTD. Don't forget that they are seeing dates and times all over the place. Depending on where you are sitting - everyone else is either yesterday, today or tomorrow (and everywhere inbetween).</p> <p>Just to rule this "system date and time" theory - a little later I'll activate todays giveaway - but back in 1997 or something - see if it makes any difference. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3158 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:43:57 +0000 bballchicklet 3158@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I am on a network, but I can activate on every other computer on it.<br /> The page usually opens in firefox.</p> <p>BTW thanks for all the help, I really appreciate the effort. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/636#post-3155 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:30:53 +0000 BillW50 3155@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>By the way Wolven... you are doing great for being up for 3 days!
