*edit/update* okay so I've finally figured out how they're throwing TightVNC off, it never dawned on me until now that she was turning the modem off which seems to like changing the IP each time. I've personally used a DNS link for a TS server, but I had to update the IP manually every time the net went off or the modem was restarted. Is there a program of some sort that someone knows of, that would automatically update the IP in TightVNC?

Yet another question for you guys, thank you for answering my previous ones! :) So, it's sort of in relation to one of my questions, but also for personal use as well. I know of ethernet powerline adapters that I've personally used, however I'm looking for something that I've currently found nothing on so far. I'm after a USB solution, as a possible alternative for one of my questions, which is to do with connections. I basically have a Galaxy S3 that my girlfriend uses to tether, but where she is in her house, the signal is a bit flakey, so I was thinking of using a USB network solution so she can leave her phone somewhere so she can tether via USB. Is there something out there that will meet my needs, or will I need something a little more than a few adapters? Thanks! :)

As of right now she's unable to change her ISP, she's living at home but we're looking to move in together somewhere else sometime next year. She pays for the connection but can't spare anything else right now, so I'm basically trying to help out. We used an Alfa USB adapter before, but we've so far managed to get 2 bars, but that's on the best conditions and it dropped quite often, so we're not too far from each other despite being a few streets away. While I personally don't have a budget for some high end equipment, I believe I could manage something that would at least let us play games together, such as Torchight II, Borderlands 2 etc

Hey guys, got a bit of a problem with a family member accessing a PC they're not supposed to go on. My daughter keeps accessing my girlfriends PC every time she's at work, we can't lock the PC as we usually leave TeamViewer and dropbox running as a method to send stuff back an forth, it's my own personal method of backing up files and moving them to the home server. However, the problem is that, when my daughter goes on the PC, she closes out of TeamViewer, Skype etc and I lose complete access, I can't restart the programs as she seems to close everything. Remote Desktop gets closed as well, she seems to know what shes doing, so what I'm after is a way to stop them from changing anything without the administrive password, at least on certain programs. Is there a way to do that, or at least restart the programs that get closed? Ideally it would be a program that can't be closed via the system tray and it runs in the background, in the processes list. I haven't found anything like that yet, or at least something that doesn't seem to be questionable. Is there any methods out there that people use, maybe not due to the same circumstances, but in the event that a program crashes? Again it would need to be something that can't be closed itself via the system tray, she hasn't learned how to use the task manager... yet, so there's still hope at least for now :)

Hey guys, I'm currently looking into helping out my girlfriend, her ISP in the area isn't as good as what I get where I am. We're not miles apart, we live fairly close, about 4 to 5 streets apart and I was looking into getting her something so she was able to connect to my router. From the roof we have a pretty good clear sight to each others place, however this may not be an option. I looked into this before but as far as WiFi goes, it's out of my depth as I'm an ethernet kind of guy :P What would be the best option to go for in terms of getting a reasonable connection so she can access the internet? I would say we have a budget so the cheapest most viable option would be best, we do gaming as well, I'm not sure if a phone signal would be worse, but we used to game with her using her Galaxy S3 and tethering it. I would assume connecting to my router would be a better option as the nearest tower is much further away from us. - correct me if I'm wrong! :) Preferably, it would need to be the best indoor option we could go for, either USB or PCIe if at all possible. Thanks! :)
