Morning Skunkers, Am in a little dilemma here, I would really appreciate a little help in this and in understanding/ fixing my situation. this may not sound more tech but i believe someone can understand it. i need to access my server through my public IP but all i get is a can't establish a connection to the server at 41.206.34....:3030. on my router all the ports are enabled and a port scan shows they are open. when i ping the server i get a reply and no timeouts. this is getting me more confused,i really cant get it. i tried to turn off the firewall and see if i can connect but nothing at all. Am using server 2008 R2 enterprise edition. Secondly i did a port scan using mxtool box and this is the result i got. *Status* *Port* *Name* *Result* *Time (ms)* [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 21 ftp No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34…:21 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-green.png] 22 ssh Success 640 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-green.png] 23 telnet Success 608 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 25 smtp Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 53 dns No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34….:53 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-green.png] 80 http Success 640 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 110 pop3 Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 143 imap Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 139 netbios Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 389 ldap Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-green.png] 443 https Success 640 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 587 msa-outlook Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 1352 lotus notes No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34…:1352 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 1433 sql server No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34…:1433 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 3306 my sql Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 3389 remote desktop Thread was being aborted. 0 [image: Description: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/public/images/supertool/icon-red.png] 8080 webcache Timeout i need to understand what thread was being aborted means and how i can resolve this.

USB Business cards
by Anthony Tai 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hi, I had earlier sought flash disks on behalf of a client, but the price was on the higher side, given that they want to give it as a gift this Christmas. I am now looking for USB Business cards as attached. These should be reasonably cheaper. The idea is to brand initially 1000 of them on behalf of the client. If you have the same, kindly let me know offline and at what price. Thank you. Regards -- Anthony Tai "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
