Does any one know when e3 starts... Time wise? Is it at midnight PST?

Nvm... Found out. Microsoft kicks it off at 9:30am PT. Looking forward to hearing what the MS Smart Glass is and the specs of the next Xbox.

Paul

03:36

@SgtOJ isn't smart glass just DLNA / Airplay with a different name? Of course, it is MS so likely to be an incompatible protocol to the DLNA / uPNP standard. Just like Airplay. Because we have learnt nothing about the value of standards in the past few decades.

Q: Which one is the local computer in this case?

I have 2 software A & B. A is the data feed to B. A is installed in computer pc-A, when it starts, it wake up B in computer pc-B. In this case, which one is the Remote Desktop, and which one is the local, pc-A or pc-B ?

remote-access

Look familiar?

hint see the user's other question hint

Journeyman Geek

sigh

I recognised the name ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Yep. Close the question? It's even more abstracted from the actual problem!

Paul

Aaah Jenny.

Bob

Is this a homework question? — Frazell Thomas 3 mins ago

yes, it's in home network — Jenny 2 mins ago

O.O

Paul

04:19

It would be cool if we had a translation service on SU/SE. So somewhere where people can post in their native tongue, and have volunteers translate and post the question in English. I am not convinced this would help in Jenny's case though, s/he seems intent on being as vague as possible.

Bob

04:33

What are the chances this is a troll?

iglvzx

@Jenny Frazell asked if it was a homework question, you said "Yes", but it looks like you misunderstood the question. Also, are you sure you want to use the Remote Desktop Protocol in this case? You do not need to manually and visually control the 2nd computer, do you? — iglvzx 5 mins ago

Jenny doesn't seem interested in learning the terms they are throwing around

Paul

Yeah it is a bit XY.

Bob

@Paul A bit? Considering how vague the question is too...

That's a rather massive understatement.

iglvzx

@Jenny Different software communicate through a network differently. In order to be able to even get started on an answer, we need to know more about software A and B. Please join us in the Chat Room, so we can help you clarify your question. This question was closed because it is extremely vague. We can help you, but you need to help us, too. — iglvzx 1 min ago

sad enough, this question is closed. Seems superuser's admins need to go stackoverflow to get some proper training. When human get a little power, things just like this. — Jenny 1 min ago

*sigh*

Bob

@iglvzx Does s/he have enough rep to talk here?

iglvzx

04:45

No.

Oops

*Fixed

Jenny

first of all, I think it's not technicion's job to guess the intention behind the question.

iglvzx

@Jenny There was a misunderstanding.

Jenny

that's why I comment on the "homework". that my answer of "yes" to the first comment, that's my fault

iglvzx

But in its current state, your question is not fit for Stack Exchange

If you can help us clarify you question by providing more details about your current setup, then we may be able to reopen your question

Jenny

back to the question itself. I need to connect the 2 software , they are both in home network. I saw this stie has tag of "remote access", "network", that's why I ask here

what details, could you give a hint?

Paul

04:49

Remote access generally refers to accessing something on a different network

iglvzx

Okay. What kind of software is A? Or even better, what is it exactly?

Paul

The more details you can provide about what you need to do the more it will be possible to help.

Jenny

A's name is "QuoteRoom", it's a data feel, it download data from internet. B's name is "TradeStation", it's doing graphic analysis base on the data it get from A

iglvzx

Okay, good. Now, can you confirm that computer A and B are on the same network? Do they connect through the same router?

How is your home network set up?

Jenny

yes, both connect through the same Router

iglvzx

04:52

Which operating system is on ComputerA and ComputerB?

Jenny

all my PCs are connected to the same Router

both A and B are windows XP

iglvzx

:) Okay. We are making progress. When dealing with networks, these types of details are usually important

Jenny

I C

iglvzx

Can you PING computer B from computer A?

Jenny

yes, can ping

iglvzx

04:53

Great!

Jenny

can ping, and can share files

iglvzx

How do you share files?

Jenny

in the data feed software, it has a place to input remote access IP, that's what confuse me. I though the data feed should be remote

share file by Set up Home Network, then, can browse the computers in the group

Paul

Is it from these people: forexite.com

Jenny

yes

iglvzx

04:55

It looks like Computer B would be the "remote" computer in this case.

Since Computer A is itself. Computer B is the "other", receiving input from Computer A

Jenny

it's all Russion languge, so I have no idea how to get it working

so, I need to enable Remote Desktop in computer A ?

iglvzx

Not necessarily. You need to find out how Software B expects to receive input

Jenny

software B has some database connections dll files

Paul

@Jenny when you say Remote Desktop are you referring to Windows Remote Desktop software for accessing Windows machines across a network? Have you seen somewhere where this is referred to in the configuration?

Jenny

I didn't see anywhere in the software's instruction about the remove connection, because it's in Russion language. I only see the software has a place to input remove IP address

Journeyman Geek

05:00

@Paul: o0 how did you know what it was?

Jenny

on the software input , it says "Act as a data server for connection other computer", then it provide input of "local network server address" to input IP and Port

Paul

Ah ok, then it is not Remote Desktop most likely. You have a place to enter a "remote IP" in QuoteRoom - so this is either the internet site that it downloads the feed from, or its own IP

@Jenny earlier you described this as the "remote ip", now you are saying "local network server address". Are these two separate fields?

Jenny

no, on the input address, it shows the default is my local computer

Paul

@JourneymanGeek I googled...

Jenny

sorry I said "remove" because on my mind it should be remote since it's 2 computers.

Paul

05:04

@JourneymanGeek - it didn't help though

Journeyman Geek

you've gotten further than most people

now all we need is someone who reads russian...

iglvzx

Boris? lol

I found them: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/10848/russian-language-usage

Journeyman Geek

hmm

Paul

If it says "Act as a data server for connection other computer" then I would suggest that you enter its own IP address. If this is defaulting to its own address already, then leave it. Is there something in the port field?

Journeyman Geek

wait

what would google translate do?

Paul

05:06

Google translate is what I did, but this is a general forex site, that happens to provide forex software, and it is difficult to find any information about their software there

Jenny

iglvzx

Aha! Now you're thinking like a Super User. :P

Journeyman Geek

hmm, that looks like it binds to a specific ip address

Bob

@Sathya Hmm?

Jenny

there's very little instruction about how to set up even in Russian. After google translate, it's just a alien language.

Journeyman Geek

05:07

lol

Paul

@Jenny that helps. I think that you should leave that as is. On QuoteStation, is there a field for defining the server? If so, then that should be set to the same details.

iglvzx

That sounds right.

Paul

Make sure you tick that box where is says "Act"

Jenny

I know how to set the other software. but I need to install A in one computer and install B in another computer

the 2 software were designed to use in one computer only. the network thing is something new in the recent version. and I happend need to use them seperately in 2 computers.

iglvzx

I don't think it matters. If Computer A is acting as the server with software A, then Computer B with software B will have to point back at software A.

Paul

05:10

@Jenny Ok, so have you installed TradeStation somewhere else already? Damn I called it the wrong name earlier.

Jenny

yes, I installed TradeStation in computer B

Paul

Ok, and have you configured Tradestation to talk to 169.254.30.6 on port 2189 to get its data?

Jenny

now I want to install the QuoteRoon in computer A, so that I never need to shut down QuoteRoon because I never shut down computer A

TradeStation is installed in 169.254.30.6

Sathya

@Bob comment became outdated

iglvzx

@Jenny Which software did you take a screenshot of previously?

Paul

05:13

@Jenny, you are saying that at this moment, you have BOTH installed on B and you are planning to install QuoteRoom on A?

Jenny

when both QoteRoom and TradeStation both are installed in 169.254.30.6, they are working fine. Now I want to move QuoteRoom to another computer.

yes, Paul, that's correct

the 169.254.30.6 is the computer that they currently installed. the picture is taken at current computer. Now I want to move QuoteRoon out to another computer.

Paul

@Jenny, install Quoteroom on the new machine A. Go to the same screen you have posted above once installed, and enable "act as server" then note the IP address and port. Then go to B (Tradestation) and configure that IP address and port in the place where you define its server.

iglvzx

Anyone want to revamp the original question now that we have all the important details?

This is a lot better than "How can I have A connect to B" :)

Jenny

but I need first enable windows xp's Remove Desktop, to get this to work. which computer I should enable as remove desktop?

iglvzx

No. You do not.

Paul

05:20

@Jenny Why do you? Do you not have physical access? Does it not have a screen and keyboard on A?

iglvzx

You said you could PING both computers. One is going to act as a server on a port. If your firewall allows it, the other computer can connect to this port and communication should happen

Jenny

Computer A is a very old computer. so I want to install QuoteRoom in it, and remove the screen, and let it run to the end of it's life.

Paul

@Jenny that is a separate matter, it confuses things if you suggest one is dependent on the other. Just enable remote desktop on A once you have finished setting this up.

Jenny

in case the QuoteRoom get stucked somewhere, I need to reboot it. so I need remotely control the QuoteRoom

ok, that's clear now.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for taking your time to help this question. I will correct my original question if needed.

iglvzx

@Jenny Be sure to include all the details you brought up in our discussion here. Once you've cleaned up your question, post a Re-Open Request on Meta.Superuser

Jenny

05:27

ok, thanks!

@iglvzx Ooops yeah

Journeyman Geek

@Paul: linking to the software (and pointing out the page is in russian) may help too

assuming we find someone who does speak the language

Paul

Done...

Jenny

05:43

@Paul, I see you have edited the question. thanks. By the way, I didn't learn the lesson of how to ask proper question.

Journeyman Geek

@Jenny: as much clear details as you can. The sort of stuff you mentioned here should have been in the question in the first place.

Paul

@Jenny - if you read the question as I have edited it, and compare it to your original question, it should help you see what types of information are useful

Jenny

I came here with a question of how to do this. but I got assumption of "hidden intention" and "homework". That's I learned most about superuser.

Journeyman Geek

jenny: "Homework question" is exactly that

You have a question for homework, you don't know, you ask

(and thats entirely fine in some cases) - though it was misinterpreted as home network in your case

and the issue for us is, we had no idea what 'this' was

you had a thing, that needed to talk to another thing.

Paul

@Jenny, I realise you feel you were treated poorly at the start, but surely you can now see that people here are helpful? That the misunderstanding began with a poorly described question?

Jenny

05:49

yes, my question is poorly structured. Because I am far away to understand what is my question about. I'm only a user. Going so far to touch a software's settings already beyond my knowledge. I read your edited question, it's very well structured, I appreciate that.

but what impressed me is -- some people on this site like to make assumption on things behind the question. that is beyond the site's interests, right?

Journeyman Geek

@Jenny: Well, its a public site, and maybe a loss in translation somewhere. There were people also asking for further details

Jenny

I've been feeling people here are helpful since I know the site, not just today. I only addressed the issue of some people's assumption problem.

anyway, I'm glad the question is solved. Thanks for taking your time.

Paul

@Jenny in the absense of sufficient information, people must make assumptions to fill in the gaps. In order to avoid people making assumptions about your questions, please leave as few gaps as possible, provide as much detail as possible.

Jenny

ok, Paul, thanks!

@Boris_yo Huh?

Boris_yo

I prefer 1 unit. @Bob

@Bob Why you need 2 scissors?

Bob

@Boris_yo This is a pair of scissors

Like, "a pair of pliers"

Boris_yo

We don't say pair.

Bob

06:13

We do :P

I can't really say "a scissors". And "scissor" is not really correct.

Boris_yo

@Bob I just bough a pair of socks? Laptops? Adapters?

Bob

Scissors

Scissors are hand-operated cutting instruments. They consist of a pair of metal blades pivoted so that the sharpened edges slide against each other when the handles (bows) opposite to the pivot are closed. Scissors are used for cutting various thin materials, such as paper, cardboard, metal foil, thin plastic, cloth, rope, and wire. Scissors can also be used to cut hair and food. Scissors and shears are functionally equivalent, but larger implements tend to be called shears. There are many types of scissors and shears for different purposes. For example, children's scissors, used only ...

Boris_yo

"What do you see?"
"I see pair of laptops..."
"Are you high?!"

Bob

> The noun "scissors" is treated as a plural noun, and therefore takes a plural verb ("these scissors are"). Alternatively, this tool is also referred to as "a pair of scissors", in which case it (a pair) is singular and therefore takes a singular verb ("this pair of scissors is").

Boris_yo

@Bob We say scissors but without "pair".

Bob

06:15

But when you're referring to a single one?

Journeyman Geek

pair is correct

Bob

It depends on context.

Journeyman Geek

english is a bloody wierd language

Bob

Some places, you use pair. Some you don't.

"A pair of" is the easiest way to say "one"

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Why "bloody"?

Bob

06:15

In fact, it might be the only way - I'm not aware of another.

Journeyman Geek

being one that tends to mug other languages in dark alleys, and rifling around their pockets for spare vocabulary

Bob

We also say things like "a pair of pants". And yes, English is weird.

That's why programming languages designed to be "English-like" inevitably fail: the syntax is so convoluted.

Paul

@Borisyo "bloody" in English is just emphatic, not literal, but slang.

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Ah..

Journeyman Geek

Its also sterotypically british

Paul

06:17

It's in usually c:\user\your-username\AppData\LocalLow\Java\ Search for the current version and copy/paste it to your desired location.

@Sathya It also contradicts the other answers, which are correct on my system. I do have a %LocalAppData%Low\Sun\Java`, but there's no javaw` in there, just the installer packages.

Of course, I expect that general size of lock to be easily broken by any good pair of bolt cutters.

Boris_yo

08:29

@Bob Concern is, assumingly this is made in China.

Bob

I'd be more worried about being unable to open it myself. There's no way that will provide reliable protection against any determined person, especially with luggage - it's a deterrent at best.

Boris_yo

@Bob Yeah I am affraid of being unable to open it.

Bob

I had a cheap combination padlock of the spinny wheel variety that eventually broke (unable to open). Ended up taking it apart with a small hammer.
