We've been having a lot of problems with user's losing all of their settings. For some reason, windows is rebuilding the profiles from the default, and naming them USER.DOMAIN, or USER.WINDOWS. I can copy the old profile into the new, and everything will be back to normal. This wouldn't be...

You might be able to get a used print server for around $25, but I think you might be out of luck if you want to buy new. Are you talking about printing from Windows machines? If so, are you running samba on the CentOS server? What kind of printer is it(you'll need to get windows CUPS...

When logged on to your Smoothwall box locally, type ifconfig. This is alot like the windows ipconfig. If you can pass traffic through it, then it is probably working. If you want to, there are alot of online security scanners that you can run.

Get a cheap switch. You can get a 4 port 10/100 switch for pretty cheap.

What OS are you running? Win9x only allows 12 character share names, and DOS is only 8. The one you gave was 13 characters.

Linksys makes a power injector that would probably do what you want. newegg

Your pc's os shouldn't be able to break your router. I personally haven't had much luck with Netgear's home routers. I've only dealt with two, but both failed early on. It is probably just a coincidence, but I stay away from them anyway.

I'm running smoothwall right now, and if you are talking about a local log in, your cursor will not move when you type in the password. I hate to tell you, but if it isn't letting you log in locally, you almost definitely typed the password wrong. Try with caps lock on, and common misspellings...

It kinda depends on how secure you want it and who will be doing the tracking. You can use a web proxy (don't forget to turn off any client side scripting) or a socks proxy for something like mirc... Actually mirc isn't a great example because I think most IRC servers check for open proxies...

This is definitely possible. You could just set up a router with both wan connections going into it. Set 2 different routes with 2 different administrative distances. I'm sure there are alot of free linux distros that could do this. Freesco comes to mind, altough I've never really played...

If you are running WINS you can just look it up there. You can do it from the command line with winscl.exe (in the 2000 resource kit?). I don't know the syntax, but I'm sure microsoft, or atleast someone, has a write up on it somewhere.

Do any of the antivirus programs find anything, or are they just unable to completely remove it?

Nope give it me. ;) You could play with trunking and such if you had 2 managed switches...

What do you want to know?

I just looked through my config, and I don't see language anywhere... You might just have to restore it to factory defaults.

It depends on his configuration. I think the default on those routers is to allow both type B and G connections.

When plugged into the problem port, do you get any link lights? Does everything look right in the device manager? Have you tried reinstalling the nic driver?

Try adding something like... dim UserShareName UserShareName="\\server\" & wshNetwork.UserName & "$" to the above script. Assuming of course your home drives are hidden shares named after the username. If your naming convention is different you may be able to do something similar. EDIT...

Its the only thing I have any experience with. I rarely have a need for anonymous proxies, and when I do I just leave Charon on overnight. How much faster is the competition?

Well... you'll need some proxies. Charon, I believe is probably the most popular. Export the proxy list from something like Charon, and then import them into SocksChain. You will need socks4 or socks5 proxies. Http proxies aren't going to help you here. You will also probably want to test...

Then I would give socks chain a try. There are probably lots of other sock proxy clients available, that is just the only one I have played with.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You might be able to use a socks proxy. Try Socks Chain.

I don't know the 871's specifically, but the command is "ip address dhcp client-id interfacename" You'd do this after enable, config terminal, and interface. Routername# enable Routername# config t Rourtername(config)# int ethernet0 Routername(config-if)# ip address dhcp client-id...

Office 2k encrypts the key, but you can call Microsoft and have them issue you a new key. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823570

I guess I could with group policy. I'd rather have the user's shut down their machines when they left for the day or on vacation. I also want them to be able to reboot before they call me. Plus the user could still use the power button. That also would't solve any of the other problems...

From a management point of view, they are a pain because your print queues aren't centralized. They also have to be physically next to a work station If you need to print from a non windows server, it is much easier to print to a jet direct. And of course, user's shut down there computer...

Shared local printers can be a serious hassle unless you are just talking about home use. Jet Directs, and Axis print servers come with an USB interface. I'm sure there are lots of others out there. These are just the brands that I have used.

Are you just talking about something like nmap, or do you want a graphical network map?

I'm assuming you are running 10/100 switches on both sides as well. Do you know what rate you are actually getting to the basement? If you are only running 10Mbps your cable could be at fault, and getting a new switch wouldn't solve your problem. Alot of switches have an amber link light if...

Do you mean multi-homed? What OS are you using?

If you are using a WRT54G, you should be able to open it in your web browser. Then go to the "Access Restrictions" tab. At the bottom there is website blocking by url, and by keyword.

I finally figured out what was wrong. I know this was an old post, but I had alot of problems finding the answer, so I thought it might help someone else's search. Cisco's ip helper was the culprit. We had the default udp ports forwarded, which includes 137 and 138. So, our server was...

How/why did you restore your system? Do you get any error messages in IE (or NAV), or just always "page not found?" Is there anything in the event log? If you are simply missing an update, everything should still work. For the most part anyway... Can you get updates from automatic update...

Are you talking about folders under Application Data, or actual executables. You probably shouldn't have executables in user profiles unless you, or the user put them there. What applications are you talking about? I am unaware of any applications that by default install themselves to a user...

Do you have link lights on your cable modem? If the one labeled internet is out, you could have a bad splitter somewhere, a loose connection, faulty cable, or your modem may be bad. Check to make sure all your cables are connected securely, and if possible remove any splitters. If that...

Do you mean in Active Directory? If so you pretty much click "create new user" and follow the prompts. Is this a home network/computer lab? If not, setting permissions for things might be a little more complicated, but you can still just check the properties of a user that has the same or...

What OS are you using? If you are running windows NT/2k/XP and a password was somehow set you can reset it by using this. If you are talking about the BIOS password there should be a jumper on your motherboard that will let you bypass the password. I'm assuming you have turned the computer...

I did some more experimenting. First, I shut down the WINS service. The packets were still being picked up. I upgraded the nic driver, again with no change. I shut down the server for 5 minutes, and gave our spare server the same ip. Finally, the traffic disappeared. It seems that it is...

We replaced our Esafe gateway with Barracuda's spam and the spyware firewalls. We get alot less false positves, and notably less spam complaints. They are pretty easy to administrate. It is a very simple web interface. We had some issues getting them installed, but that was mostly due to our...

Thanks for the reply, I checked the NIC driver. The NIC is a Compaq NC3163 Fast Ethernet card using driver version 5.41.17.0 (from 5/9/2001). All the settings look correct; I'll update the driver after regular business hours. We have other servers using the same nic and drivers but none...
