turn of windows file and print sharing.
idealy if you windows machine is connected directly to the cable modem (no firewall/router), remove every protocol except TCP/IP.
if you leave netbios on the computer, there are a few exploits and DOS to use against windows and i dont recommend it...
if youre only using the hub/switch to share a cable modem it doesnt matter.
even though each port has it's own dedicated bandwith, you will still wait on your cable modem. that may not be the best description so think of it this way: each port is an on-ramp for the freeway, but all the cars...
robotnik,
up to the last few years you wouldve been right. most true switches are layers 2 (data link) and routers where strictly layer 3 (network). theres a large array of hybrids. xanthar correctly categorized how to tell them apart.
all you should have to do to get the network to works is 2 NICs and a crossover cable. when isntalling everything be careful of the following:
make sure the NIC is supported in your kernel, if not recompile with support.
get a good basic samba book.
make a simple samba setup (smb.conf i...
i will repeat moralpanic since he accurately repeated the truth: a firewall will not protect you against viruses or trojans. They are installed from your end by the USER. generally accidentally.
if a trojan installs itself (i suggest downloading loads of warez to try this), the port it scans...
wasnt the shipping version of Windows2000 beta?
i guess thats just the linux user in me talking.
Windows 2000 is just product updates and a new GUI for the same crappy NT kernel.
the price diference between 256mb of PC100 and PC133 is negligible. put the extra money and get PC133 256mb (maybe youd have to get 2 modules if they are cheaper seperate).
whups, im a moron, misread the original post. ignore this
the 7237 is one of the best midtowers on the market. it is nearly toolless (if you dont put the screws in the front and just put the front piece back on). it is easy to work in and fairly high quality. it has lots of expansion and space for a midtower.
the downside, its only a midtower. if you...
i got a Cisco course through my school (Junior in HS). got my CCNA last year too (old cert path).
cisco.com is a good site to show their highend equipment. most of ciscos equip is for bussiness and not enduser use.
i had luck there when i had to design a highspeed gigabit WAN. just go to your...
MCSE may not be the best IT entry level certification. MCSE is designed to catter to network support for large coporations. this means you help bussiness people or secerataries access the "server".
i cant stand those type of people. i got a Cisco Certified Network Associates...
a hardware router hands down beats a PC platform for routing. but you only notice the difference when youre running hudreds of connections through it. i doubt you have a 100 seat network behind your router. so either one is fine for you.
my home network has a linux machine (cel566, 192 pc100...
you probably lost all the files on your hard drive due to your own actions. all the people above are very accurate. a firewall wouldnt stop YOU from downloading a virus.
what a firewall will do is protect others from maliciously attacking your computer. some high end firewalls can filter files...
I'm not certain what Microsoft "recommends" but nearly any MS implemented security is less robust than a dedicated machines (like a cisco router). bare in mind any machine u use as a VPN server will be entirely exposed to the internet. You could do port forwarding to the VPN server by...
if you have any linux/unix experience use an opensource solution. VPN in linux is EASY. If you're the windows-type admin, u might try LT2P between a windows2000 box and nearly any cisco router. i know an L2TP VPN can be established with a cisco 2500 and any number of VPN clients. THat means...
ill check the orb is on with no spaces. but i have two identical systems and both of them report that temperature.
anyone else have any idea why it might be so high?
two identical machines. each with kt7 and a chrome orb on the thunderbird. im running linux (so i dont use the monitoring software) but when i look at PC Health in the BIOS it tells me i'm running it at 70C. the hardocp article said these should generally run around 50C with a decent OEM...
my KDS AV-7T has no defects like that. its also a trinitron monitor. ive had fans and stuff close to it no problem. i suspect a large magnet left near a corner of the monitor would do that damamge. is the desk youre using metal? thats definitely no normal, RMA the monitor
may i suggest reading the readme and maybe a manual for it. i suppose you could randomly ask people in a thread but thats wasting out time.
i know no one here wants to do YOUR research for YOU. RTFM - in case you dont know Read The F*cking Manual.
detanators are reference drivers from nvidia for all reference cards. as long as hercules makes a reference boards (i think they do) the reference drivers will work.
i doubt the illegal operation is cause of the vid card. what system are you running it on. what is Inventor optimized for? is...
i run slackware 7.1
its not as user friendly as mandrake but i dont care about that.
this whole post is bullshit. its like asking what OS should i run. you should say what you're using it for.
i use slackware for my router/ipmasq box and counter-strike server and rarely run X on it.
im an...

make sure they dont ship you the older revision. it has a one-piece cover and only an 80mm fan in front and none in back.
the newest revision to this case features easy side slideable 3 piece cover and a 80mm in front and one in back.

RMA = return merchandise agreement
it means you send it back for a replacement.
wtf is a nub? you dont mean a capacitor do you? or do you mean the the plastic thing you attach your heatsink to on the socket?
if you break something, you almost never get an RMA, they charge you for repair or...
just letting everyone know:
The chrobe orb won't fit on this board with out filing down a side of the orb. you could also bend the orbs like hardocp did but i started to and it wouldn't go far enough without damaging the capacitor.
five minutes on a grinding wheel can fix this problem but u...
the problem: in halflife, and the windows desktop, all dark colors appear darker than they normally should. in halflife, every shadow or semi-black texture is extremely dark. i opened a .jpg of a q3 screenshot in IE and compared it to my other computer. the .jpg showed the same thing. the dark...
I guess I should have seen to ask what OS you are running?
I am running Windows 2000 IntelliMouse Explorer (laser eye) on my USB port but it works on my PS2 port too. Go figure, Microsoft products are very inconsistent.
Yeah USB Legacy support is too allow USB mice and keyboards to function in...
no i don't have access to another slotket, im gonna try my friends secc2 p3 and hope that helps. the power button is in right. does anyone out there use a vc820?
I had my 600e run at 780 at 1.75v with a Abit Slotket III on a P3V4X, rock solid with my PC100 running at 4/3 ration (at 90mhz), no bad problems with the slotket except make sure its set to use FCPGA and PPGA, big difference there.
Heatsink issue: the Slotket Tornado cooloer from computernerd...
My p3v4x always recognized my logitech 3 button PS2 mice. There should be a IRQ setting in the bios for a PS2 connecter (im not too certain), make sure it is not disabled. I'd look and get you more info but my p3v4x is out of my system right now.
i have the 1003 bios, not quite newest u might...
I recently read about the recall of the CC820 for MTH problems so of course the first thing I do is to buy one. Intel's policy is to replace the CC820 with a VC820 and 128mb of free Rambus. Good deal so that's how I got the board.
I took my current board out of my system (p3v4x) and proceded to...
