I tried Unite, but my friend can't access the URL I gave to him.
I also couldn't open the URL using different browser from within the same PC.

Any help for this?

Is "admin" in the URL? Is Unite Enabled. Is the URL correct? Is your computer on at the time your friend tried to access it?

I think I know why it's happen. It's because my router doesn't support port forwarding, or I haven't configured it yet.

I prefer the fridge. Yeah, probably i will play with other feature, but now i have the worst internet connection in the city, and i won't go to university for 100mbps net... just weekly for some fun. Yay!

LOVE the new Opera. But a couple of things seem prematurely hatched.

Can't see my friends' applications, for one.

The Task Manager could use a lot of improvement as it's just a list with no ability to put a date to it, or details of any kind....a bit on the simple side for now, but I'm looking forward to seeing it develop. For now I'll stick to Task2Gather for it's many abilities...as clunky as it is.

Some of the sharing apps don't have password protection ability yet...a no no for me until they do.

LOVE it anyway! Opera is definitely kicking browser ass. Keep it coming, quick!!!

Those have got nothing to do with "premature", as they are not part of Opera. They are Unite applications which are downloaded from unite.opera.com. All can be addressed without a new Opera release. But some apps are not even made by Opera!

Ahhh...I see, right. Still LOVING THE OPERA!!!!
