• Quazar BBS Door Game Server Port Change

    From garycrunk@21:4/126 to All on Friday, February 14, 2020 18:39:05
    ALL

    I do not know what happened, but I've had to change the Telnet Port Number
    for Quazar BBS Door Game Server to Port 2525

    It was 2323, but that no longer connects...

    Probably caused by a F-ing Windows Update.

    Anyway, Please update your records and if you are pointing to the Server.

    Thanks

    No... F-ing Windows Update did some weird crap with the server...

    One main reason I Hate Windows...

    I mean... if it's working... Don't Fix It...
    Right?

    Don't you just love how MS was being all nice & cuddly giving away Windows 10 when we all were running Windows 7? At least with 7 we could control when/if
    we did our upgrades. Now...there's no choice.

    You can now pause updates with Windows 10 which is great as you can do the update when your at the computer.

    I had to do a system recovery after the last major MS update, when I ran the update after the recovery there wasn't a problem.

    Already happening...but I extensively use Handbrake & 10 will reboot at 3 AM unless I remember to tell it don't. It's a pain to keep doing this. Just wish MS had left a system alone which had worked well for those of us who have the knowledge/experience.

    I had to do a system recovery after the last major MS update, when I ran the update after the recovery there wasn't a problem.

    Glad it worked for you. Tried it in the past on several versions of Windows through the years & have had limited success. Usually...just run Ghost or something like it to replace the whole system.

    No. Microsoft remotely administers your computer now. They've wanted this for
    a long time. Now they have it. Microsoft loves you. Your computer used to.

    Why do you need to do a reboot every day?

    I tend to make a new system restore point before I make a change, it is worked fine every time but once a year I prefer to do a new complete install.

    Thought when James Bond let Blofeld take a trip down the smokestack in For
    Your Eyes Only that all evil had been banished from this realm of existence. Now...gonna have to find the Masters of the Internet redemagnitze the
    Internet for this to stop.

    I don't unless MS decides I need to. Probably been a week or more since I did.

    Like doing that every 6 months...but with the madness of the last year...am going to look into doing it again.
