Is a parser an algorithm (a parsing algorithm) or it implements one (combining a parsing algorithm with other stuff? According to WP: "Parsing or syntactic analysis is the process of analysing a string of symbols, either in natural language or in computer languages, according to the rules of a formal grammar. " Saying 'process' instead of 'algorithm above, implies that a parser is more than a parsing algorithm? OsmanRF34 ( talk) 17:47, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Router A is a Virgin Media Home Hub, has wireless disabled but is running in router mode, rather than modem mode, with the DHCP server switched on, for reasons that will become clear.
Router A connects via wire to a LAN port on router B, not a WAN port. The reason for this choice, and for running A in router mode, is that B has no WAN port: it is intended for use with ADSL and as such does not acknowledge internet connections through ethernet. This is not a great problem: I can still access the internet via router B. Router B has wireless on and the DHCP server off. I don't need two DHCP servers, and disabling the one on A makes the internet inaccessible.
B has two basic modes: router mode and access point mode. Both attain the same qualitative result: I can access the internet wirelessly. My question: which mode should I use, and why?-- Leon ( talk) 17:51, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
My mum has a machine running Windows XP which I can access remotely using TeamViewer. Is there any way I could install Linux (distribution Zorin) remotely with little or no cooperation from my mother (she can't even copy and paste reliably)?
