Thanks for the different ideas, guys. A few questions answered - yes a monitor should fit in that price. - I'm probably not up for unlocking the Sempron. I've been out of the hardware scene for a few years now and am just looking for "simple and works" NoForgiveness's build looks...

I'm looking to get a first computer for my kid. He's about to start kindergarten (amazing how early they need computers) and I want him to have one for him and his little brother to grow up with. I'm even thinking about a cheap netbook or laptop, but I have a bias towards desktops. Any...

I haven't been to MicroCenter in a year or two, but if they have a price that compares with NewEgg I don't mind shopping there at all. Why?

Hey, old timer here who hasn't been on [H] in ages. I'm looking to build my first full system in ages and I'm out of the loop. I've given myself a crash course over the past few days, but I'm close to pulling the trigger. What did I miss? 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...

Here is the deal, I need to build a report on employees IM usage, how much is business versus personal is the primary question. I'm looking around for some sort of tool I can get to sniff and log IM's from a system which gets mirrored traffic from our proxy. Since this is short term until we...

We run Nessus for internal vulnerability (CVE) scans and it works great, except the reporting leaves much to be desired. After every scan I have to spend a few days massaging the data down into a format that has a quick overview for executives plus the relevent information for the server team...

Give us the details....what did he do? How did you find him?

Hmm...I think this is your problem. Your exchange domain is the external domain name (.com) and your logon names match the internal domain name (.org), so when a user types in [email protected] it is a valid email address but not a vaild logon. I know, I'm repeating what we already know, but...

Or at least hope your switch admin isn't smart enough to have restricted a single MAC per port. I for one hate home switches being plugged into the network.

Do you have a different internal domain name (company.net) versus external DNS name (company.com)?

Here's the best way I've found to clean it up. format c: /y Nothing else you do is trustworthy. Oh, and that includes any secondary drives. And all remote shared folders that you computer had write access to.

It probably was a software issue and not a trojan or anything. Look through the event viewer for errors. Just to be sure, you may want to hook up a sniffer to see what sort of traffic you are leaking to the internet.

I've used both SurfControl and Websense on large corporate networks (>1000 users) and of the two I'd say Websense is far better. It does a great job of both protocol level and site level filtering. The only problem is the cost, but if you are serious about filter, it is the way to go.

Thanks for the recommendation. The book is on order.

Possible job with CERT? Jump on that! Even if you are just doing low level stuff, you will be doing it with one of the top security groups in the world. Here's my rant on certifications...briefly... A) You may just learn a few things while prepping for the test B) Experience is hit or...

Thank you again. You guys have convinced me that I don't know nearly as much about how TCP/IP works. I want to grab a book to read up on it more, do you have any suggestions? I was looking at TCP/IP Illustrated, but it looks rather old. Any other books you'd suggest.

The testing versus rollout question is a tough one. I've worked in a few major corporate environments and other than a staggered roll-out (IT users > advanced users > all users) I've never seen end user patches actually tested before deployment. Servers...again testing is nice, but there are...

Interesting. I have seen MS load balancing packets on the network also. So does that mean this is a designed thing? Should I tell the cisco guy that the arp tables of the switch need manually adjusted to stop all of this extra traffic?

Am I going crazy? OK, don't answer that. I'm on my second week in a new job as a security analyst in a medium sized company. This is my first full-time security position so I have much to learn, but my six years as a server/network admin give me a good start. So on instructions of my...

Nice job! I agree that the best thing I've found is to never lie or exaggerate your resume in IT. You can bullshit your way through many fields, but not so much in IT. If on your second day on the job as a sys admin you are told to build an app server or a domain controller in 4-6 hours...

Take a look at SUS also. It is a free Microsoft product (yeah, surprising, isn't it?) to do patch mangement. It doesn't handle anything but patches, but it works fairly well. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/sus.mspx

What OS? If you are on a win2k/2003 domain you can use Group Policy to run installs at either boot up or user logon. For software updates the only thing I've used is Microsoft SMS, which isn't free, sorry.

Ditto. Non-admins can't change the time or time zone. It is one of the faults* of the 2000/XP security model which MS plans to fix in Vista. * or Features, if you are a Microsoft employee.

You'll want to go for an enterprise internet monitoring solution, but it isn't cheap. I've used SurfControl and Websense to do this. Of the two, I found Websense to be far superior for both consistency and lower daily maintenance. The problem is the cost. For roughly 1200 users, Websense...

Does anyone have any experience with Microsofts' LCS? It seems to be a bit overkill just to get Enterprise IM...does it work well? Our environment is all 2000/XP workstations, AD2003, 98% of all servers are 2000/2003 (the exception is a few Netware and one AS/400). Our network manager has a...

We have some guys in our company who use it for laptops. It works fairly well but like a cell phone you cannot rely on perfect quality (slow) or availability. For a home, I don't know how it works. I've only seen the adapters in a PCMCIA format, but you can probably get them in something...

Both active to the internet? You can also use route statements. Type ROUTE /? at a command prompt for the switch options.

The two "thief-like" things that are missing are being able to douse lights and being able to distract guards. If I had those two abilities, I'd be as happy as a peach.

It is way different from the Final Fantasy games. (NOTE: this isn't a comment on which is better, just on how they are different) Many of the Eastern/Japanese rpgs have a strict story line, cutscenes, and a very linear plot. The Elder Scrolls games have a plot, but you can totally ignore it if...

Damn nice. That's a good idea...I just upgraded to an x800GTO from a 9800pro for Oblivion. I should fire up Lomac and see if I can finally turn on heat blur.

Complete "good" quests, like Fighters/Mage guild quests or the main story quests.

Aren't those unuseable unless you have access to the inner Arcane University?

Yep, pursuade them to like you. Get the disposition score up above 70. <edit> or go to Anvil. There's a guy there who is selling his own house.

I'M STUCK: I just got a job from the Thieve's Guild to break into the Arch-Mage's room at the Arcane University...how the hell do I get in there? The two gates don't open and all of the doors in the lobby require a key I don't have. HELP!

In a town I won't mention, I got a quest to clean a ship out of ghosts. Well, not far into the ship I was jumped by three ghosts so, being the brave soldier I am, I ran like a little girl. Unfortunately, the ghosts followed me into town and started killing all of the NPCs. There weren't any...

You guys talking about all of that money is exactly why, IMO, this game requires Mods (or you can fairly call them patches). The item loot mods that prevent the bandits from wearing all glass/daedric armor at level 15 is so important for me. That stuff is supposed to be rare, if not nearly...

Which is what I hate about the game. Hey! I'm a level 20 Warrior, the Hero of Kvatch, who has entered multiple gates to Oblivion and single-handedly closed them. I have faced down assassins, helped the emporer, and am the Grand Champion of the Fighter's Guild and the Arena! Too bad his...

http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=324335 A great list of mods. I use: Arrow Velocity Equipment Rarity BTMod Arcane Velocity Moveable Bodies I'm still looking for a good NPC non-leveling mod.
