<icey123456> thanks
<Vulpine> Sure thing. Just keep in mind that it is rather limited.
<icey123456> still better than nothing
<icey123456> so unix is just an operating system command language correct?
<Vulpine> It's a completely different OS.
<icey123456> ok. so how would i view the directory this whole mission is revolving around?
<icey123456> or is that too much to ask?
<sanddbawks> well
<sanddbawks> first you need to open command prompt
* Omni_present_ (catita@HTS-A8B5798.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #help
<sanddbawks> and type ipconfig /release to get into unix mode
<sanddbawks> then
<icey123456> k
<sanddbawks> you just need to use a combination of mkdir and ls
<icey123456> it says the operation requires elevation
<sanddbawks> hmm
<sanddbawks> oh
<sanddbawks> are you in xp or 7
<icey123456> vista
<sanddbawks> okay
<sanddbawks> we need to shutdown the anti-elevation mechanism to get into unix mode
<sanddbawks> so first
<sanddbawks> let me think
<sanddbawks> okay
<sanddbawks> it should be
<icey123456> k
<sanddbawks> 'shutdown /s' (no quotes of course)
<sanddbawks> afterwards
<sanddbawks> it will pop the box up
<sanddbawks> asking which mode to go in
<sanddbawks> type in UNIX (caps)
<sanddbawks> and press enter
<sanddbawks> then you're good to go
<icey123456> k cool

<sanddbawks> ROFLMAO
<sanddbawks> damn
<sanddbawks> if he was administrator
<sanddbawks> i would have had him format his C: drive
<FlyingWatermelon> so where did he type in shutdown /s?
<sanddbawks> cmd prompt
<sanddbawks> can't believe he fell for it

<icey123456> can anyone elaborate how i get to the directory in basic 7?
<FlyingWatermelon> did you open command prompt yet?
<icey123456> yes i have it up
<FlyingWatermelon> did you do ip config /release?
<icey123456> i will try it once more what spaces should i take out of what you typed?
<sanddbawks> ipconfig /release
<FlyingWatermelon> ^right
<icey123456> k thanks
<sanddbawks> if it doesn't work, try the shutdown /s again
<icey123456> operation requires elevation
<FlyingWatermelon> yeah...if anti-elevation is on
<sanddbawks> try the shutdown again
<sanddbawks> this time your computer should stay on
<icey123456> all that shutdown /s did was shutdown my comp nothing different
<icey123456> oh ok

<FlyingWatermelon> hey
<FlyingWatermelon> are you the system admin?
<FlyingWatermelon> icey?
<icey123456> no
<FlyingWatermelon> oh cause thats why it wasnt working
<icey123456> im just a n00b trying to learn how to do things
<FlyingWatermelon> you need to be admin to get around elevation
<icey123456> ooooh wait
<icey123456> i am. i actually have problems with this kind of often

<FunctionCreep> soo :P
<FlyingWatermelon> function
<FlyingWatermelon> do you remember how you did basic 7?
<FlyingWatermelon> we already did ipconfig /release
<FlyingWatermelon> then it said operation requires elevation
<FlyingWatermelon> so we did shutdown /s
<FunctionCreep> aha
<FlyingWatermelon> and now he is system admin
<FunctionCreep> very nice
<FunctionCreep> well maybe a cd /
<FlyingWatermelon> the problem was he had to click stuff and run as admin
<FunctionCreep> and a sudo rm -rf would be the best thing to do now
<FlyingWatermelon> i think he is on vista correct icey?
<icey123456> yup
<FunctionCreep> ohh that's unfortunate
<icey123456> yeah it came prebooted into my comp
<FlyingWatermelon> yeah sandbawks was trying to get him in UNIX mode thats why we did ipconfig /release in the first place
<FunctionCreep> you mean pre-installed
<icey123456> yeah
<FunctionCreep> so did you try opening up the command line and doing ipconfig /release?
<icey123456> i havent since running as admin
<FunctionCreep> so are you connecting to the net with wire or not?

<FunctionCreep> aha i see
* Vinlaell (vinlaell@HTS-832F88AF.sip.jax.bellsouth.net) has joined #help
<FunctionCreep> well since you got disconnected from your neighbour's wireless router you will need to ipconfig /release again to gain admin privileges

<FlyingWatermelon> haha 2 shutdowns and 2 kicks off internet
<FunctionCreep> ok let's tell him he's once again got admin privileges
<FunctionCreep> and he can now play with the system
<FunctionCreep> so how about a shutdown /s ?
<FunctionCreep> if he gets back on eventually :P
<Vinlaell> thats cruel lol
<FlyingWatermelon> haha better than delete system 32

<Vinlaell> well i guess thats all this place is for duh
<Vinlaell> lol
<FunctionCreep> meh he's not coming back I think :P
<FlyingWatermelon> i bet he does lol
<FlyingWatermelon> probably moving to a new location to get better internet service ;)
<Korina> what happened?
<Korina> I heard something hilarious was going on in here
* icey123456 (icey123456@HTS-B40A219A.swnebr.net) has joined #help
<icey123456> ok hopefully that was the last time that shits gonna happen
<FunctionCreep> what's happening?
<icey123456> got booted from the neighbors internet again
<icey123456> i usually leave it running days at a time with no problems
<FunctionCreep> again?does your house have very thick walls?
<icey123456> eh regardless
<icey123456> to elaborate my situation, im trying to complete basic 7
<icey123456> and i was trying to view the directory the password is hidden in
<icey123456> but i dont really know how to do that
<Vinlaell> you can increase the signal by over 50% if you tape aluminum foil all around the wall in the room your wifi devidce is in, it doesnt have to fill up a whole wall, but atleast 4 square feet or morre
<icey123456> i will keep that in mind
<icey123456> im doing everything with a laptop cus im usually on the go
<FunctionCreep> or you could at least tape aluminum foil all over your window since thats the place the signal gets in! (if you are near a window that is)

<icey123456> but yeah thats the situation, just trying to figure out how to do what i think i need to do
<icey123456> thanks for the tip!
<FlyingWatermelon> i actually have aluminum taped to my laptop
<FlyingWatermelon> i dont worry about the walls
<Vinlaell> wow i'ma try that on mine
<FlyingWatermelon> once the signal gets in it comes right to my laptop
<icey123456> i currently dont have aluminum but ill probably figure something out about it tomorrow
<FunctionCreep> ok let me have a look on basic 7, it's been some time since i've done it
<icey123456> can do
<FunctionCreep> ok the easy way to do this is to shutdown the remote machine<FunctionCreep> since you have admin access
<FlyingWatermelon> we tried shutdown /s
<FlyingWatermelon> maybe it will work this time?
<FlyingWatermelon> it works for me
<FunctionCreep> or shutdown /r could work aswell
<icey123456> so try shutdown /s? or r?
<FunctionCreep> shutdown /r is better

<FunctionCreep> no not again no need for that again
<icey123456> ok cool good awesome
* mischief is now known as HTSUser20859
<FunctionCreep> ok once that procedure is done let me know if that worked
<icey123456> so shutdown /r and for educational purposes what is that going to allow me to do if it works?
<FlyingWatermelon> well, we were trying to get you to UNIX mode
<FunctionCreep> to shutdown the remote machine
<icey123456> ok thats what i thought
<FunctionCreep> since this is a game it will restart on it's own
<icey123456> and i am supposed to enter this into my regular command prompt correct?
<icey123456> i just dont want to mess up
<FlyingWatermelon> right
<FunctionCreep> yep exactly
<icey123456> k cool brb
<FunctionCreep> exactly the same place you entered ipconfig /release
<icey123456> windows will shut down in less than one minute
