Just telling us that you have a connectivity problem without showing the errors you are getting and other related information is not useful. Want help? Provide more data. We are not mind readers.

I admire someone who is planning ahead, but the point of school (you are in your 1st year) is to explore the options, and not lock yourself into a path that may not be what you want later in your studies. IE, take this opportunity to explore! When you find …

Most web traffic now is encrypted with SSL. It's nice that Wireshark can determine the decryption certificate to use from the stream, which is why it can turn it into plain text (unmask it). That is also how your browser knows what to do to decode it into a real …

A vpn connection basically makes your system a peer in the network you have connected to. You will be using its DNS servers, LDAP (Active Directory) servers, etc. Even your IP address will change. All network traffic, authentications, etc. will go through the office network. You need the appropriate VPN …

Nobody has mentioned ClamWIN/ClamAV - open source (free) AV for both Windows and Linux. I have found it generally effective on both systems, and the price is right! For Windows, MS Security Essentials is a reasonable choice, but it only works for MS systems.

Assuming the host it is trying to connect to is external to the local network, or is in another subnet, then either the internet proxy or the router (depending upon situation) will need to be reconfigured. You need to have your hosting provider deal with this.

There are more choices for Linux. Besides Apache, there is Nginx, and other web servers. Many of those also have Windows versions, but not so much because of the "locked down" nature of Windows.

IOCTL is short for IO Control. It is a means to send messages and commands to the system kernel. If you want to add messages to a particular IOCTL then you will have to modify the kernel or kernel module sources and rebuild and reinstall it.

You shouldn't need it for ffmpeg. Try to transcode your videos into some more compressed stream, such as mpeg4, mkv, etc. It has a zillion options, and learning to use it effectively will take some time, but basic stuff is quite simple. BTW, the avi format is just a wrapper …

You can use the open source ffmpeg tool to convert any video stream to just about any other. In this case, if she wants it on her iPhone, then convert it to a .mov format, or mp4.

I also use ffmpeg for this stuff. I find that this works well for most all video formats: ffmpeg -i "input file" -target ntsc-dvd -q 0 -async 20 "output file name". This will create an mpg file. The -async 20 will sync the audio every 20 ms which works well …

Actually, you can run OSX in a VirtualBox VM on Linux. Not sure about Windows. How well that would work I'm not sure as I haven't tried it, but VBox does have an Apple OSX startup option. You can at least try it.

Besides the fact that Win98 is waaaaay out of date and insecure, why don't you upgrade to a current (or recent) Linux system? The CUPS printer files for Linux/Unix can probably handle your printer without problem. Also, viruses will pretty much be a thing of the past.

A USB cable that is more than 10 feet long (3+ meters) is going to be dicey at best. The fact that it worked with your old WiFi gear was luck. 5 meters (15 feet) is already getting to the limits of the tech for unaugmented (non-active) cables.
