I already had someone ask me why am I bothering with Yahoo Answers and why are they on my blog. Well the reason is simple I enjoy troubleshooting. That’s why I enjoyed when I did work phone tech support, it allowed for the largest challenge with minimal feedback. This is even more so. Because of that I enjoy the game of it.

I wish there was a way to just pull an RSS feed of the answers I give, but as of right now it’s a manual process of pulling out the data and copy and pasting it in. I would prefer to have my answers and thought processes captured to this site as part of my lifestream. It allows people to see how I think and how I would handle certain situations.

I’m sure I’ll eventually get bored with it so I doubt I’ll be doing it in a year so the posts will disappear – but for the moment I’m finding it interesting.

How can i stopp web sides not suitable for kids?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

As much as I’m against censorship….

You can get a digital filtering program that you can setup to allow or disallow any sites you feel are in the right viewership for you children.

The one that comes off the top of my head is net nanny – you get this type of software and it allows monitoring as well as web site restriction.

Be aware that if your children are savy or teenagers then they most likely know how to bypass these filters.

Am I right to susspect that there is a software that allows a person to break the password of another’s e-mail

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

It depends on the mail server -and if they can get the password file off that server – but yes such software does exist.

An easier method would be to install a keylogger on the target if you know them personally and just read the output of them typing in their password.

Better yet if it’s webmail – and they save their passwords in their browser unprotected there are ways you can research online to show you how to dump those passwords.

If it’s in a local application like outlook you can always unhide the ****** passwords with a programs that are freely available online.

I am getting answers which I do not understand?

I have a network consisting of a server, a speeedstream 4100 modem, a linksys router, a linksys ethernet switch, and six dell computers running XP Pro. My internet provider is ATT/Yahoo.
My home page setting on the computers is Yahoo.

Five of the computers can connect with the internet.

All of the computers can connect with the network.

I cannot figure out why the one computer will not connect with the internet.

My understanding of all of this is limited.

My answers contain such things as follows, which I do not understand:
MAC address filtering HOW AND WHERE
IP address filtering HOW AND WHERE
DHCP server HOW AND WHERE
ipconfig HOW AND WHERE
firewall setting HOW AND WHERE
tcp/ip corruption HOW AND WHERE

Also, could this happen because my modem is not in bridge mode? I have some information stating that my modem should be in bridge mode (with the internet light off) or some sort of interference or conflict could occur. Could this be a factor?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

MAC address filtering – this is in your linksys router – if you did not set this up in there originally it’s not a default setting – check your router manual at www.linksys.com

IP address filtering – this is in your linksys router – if you did not set this up in there originally it’s not a default setting – check your router manual at www.linksys.com

DHCP server – if all your computers can see eachother – this is a non issue don’t worry about it you have an IP address.

Firewall setting – this is in your windows control panel – start-settings- control panel – windows firewall

TCP/IP corruption – possible but highly unlikely since you can get to other machines on your network.

For IPConfig – this is the information we really need to solve this problem

Go to Start- Run and type CMD

at this point type “ipconfig /all”

What you are concerned about when looking at this primarily is that the default gateway address (numbers) should look identical on the working and non working machine. The other thing to make sure is filled and working correctly is the DNS Server addresses (numbers) should be identical on the working and non working machines.

After you have this information we can help you further.

How to share folder for more than 5 users in windows xp home edition?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

You can’t it’s a limitation of the operating system – Microsoft felt if you were in a network with more then 5 PC’s that need to share files that you should have XP Pro.

Since this is a limitation of the network stack only allowing 5 simultaneous connection (I don’t believe it’s just file sharing) so I don’t know if setting up an FTP server will bypass this issue.

Is it possible to mix diffrent manufacturers when installing a wireless system ?

I have a linsky system and wish to expand do i have to keep to linsky or do they mix and match ?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

You can mix and match (I have 2 wireless router – D-Link – Linksys- and Microsoft) at home.

You will loose the additional manufacturer speed – ie if you are using linksys routers with linksys nics and using speed boost technology (I’m not) but otherwise it will work fine – just set them on different wireless channels to bypass interference.

PS 2 Internet Hookup Problems?

We would like to hook-up our PS2 with a built-in Netwrk Adapter. We have Verizon/yahoo DSL service at 764kbs. Our modem is a Westell Dual Modem 6100. We are using our Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop PC and a wired Nextech N4PRoute for DSL connections. Every time we go to set up the connection the error message on the PS2 says no cennection detected. My questions are do we need to delete our failed information from the PS 2Memory card and could the card itself create a problem. Also the modem has a firewall built-in and a router. Do we need to set-up sepearate connections for the PC and the PS2? Also the I saw something about a “bridge” setting for the modem and not a PPoE(??)? Anyone that can help with our problems would be greatly appreciated. It has been a little frustrating for us. Also anyone that has hook-up their PS2 that has any other suggestions would be appreciated. Perhaps we can hook-up the PC with the USB and the PS2 with ethernet cable directly to the modem. Help!!!

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

Make sure that the PS2 has a link light on the back of it where the network cable plugs in.

Sound out of Sync – What is a codec?

I just bought a new video camera that records to a .Mp4.
If I watch the videos on the camera, they are fine. When I transfer them to my computer (just copying) and run them thru Quicktime, the sound is out of sync. When I tried to run in Windows Media player, it complained about not having a codec. I found a codec online and downloaded it. The videos now work fine on Windows Media Player with no sync problems. Can someone please help me understand the following:
1- What is a codec?
2- Does Quicktime use different codecs than WMP
3- Are some codecs better than others
4- If so, which should I be using
5- Why is it that syncing audio and video is difficult

View Creeva's Profile

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

1. A codec is a decoder/encoder for different type of media files – diffferent codecs can do different function slike smaller file sizes or higher quality through upscaling.

2. You can add codecs to quicktime – but by default they use different ones.

3. Yes – but for different reasons you should specifiy your needs.- most people at least load dvix, xvid, quicktime, treal player, wmv, mp3..etc.etc. Do a seach in google for “codec pack” this should fix your issues.

4. Unless your camera can load other codecs (probably not) you will have to stick with what it is using.

5. In reality syncing audio and video isn’t difficult – the two things that can cause problems are wrong codecs like you’ve seen or a computer that’s too slow for the media. The codec thing while yuo may think is something simple it really isn’t – let’s use another example:

You have a toyota car and the tire goes flat – the simple answer is change the tire – but the tire you have goes to a Semi truck – though the tire is still round and with enough hassle and macguyverism you can get it onto the toyota – the car will still not run right.

Codecs make sure you have the proper format (tire) to play your video (fit on your car)

Can You Network A Vista Laptop and an XP Desktop?

Ok, I have a few questions.
First, is it possible to network together a Vista Laptop and an XP Desktop?
Also, can they share internet?
And, can they network together using Wi-Fi, or is a cable the best way?
I have my Windows XP Pentium 4 Desktop in my room, and my mom’s Windows Vista Laptop is right on the other side of the wall. She has the router over on her side, and I don’t get any internet. I have Charter Broadband cable, and it runs through a RT31P2 Router. The Router has 3 Ethernet slots, and 2 phone slots.

Computer Case myth?

Sometimes people have overheating problems and they are told to open up their case. But the question I have is, is that really recommended? See I have heard before that by having your case open, you have less chance of the inside of the case getting as hot as when it is closed since you have a lot of cold air going to the motherboard. BUT I have also heard that it is better to keep the case closed, as it focuses all the cool incoming air into the case and it stays on top of the components (the motherboard, processor, etc.) and pushes the hot air out. Which is the best way to keep a case? I mean cases come so you can close them. So what do you all think?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;I leave my case open – but my case design is terrible – it all depends on what kind of airflow you get through your case – I have a crappy video card that over heats after a few hours and needs replaced – it takes longer to have problems if the case is off.

However if you have a decently designed case and no problems I would leave the case cover on.

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;Make sure your home wireless network uses WPA encryption and for further security make sure it allows only the MAC addresses of machines you want to allow on your home network.

If you have a home internet router this will take the place of the windows firewall.

I do find it odd that your work set your firewall to be disabled away from work – check and make sure you don’t have symantec’s firewall installed. Regardless my previous paragraph should suffice. Software firewalls for the desktop came into being since home users rarely had firewalling routers at home.

Hello questions for the week?

1. What type of organizations could benefit from DHCP?
2. What type of organization would be better off using static IP addresses only?
3. Within a single organization, what types of machines would need static IP addresses instead of being configures by DHCP?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;1. Any organization can benefit from DHCP from 1-1 million users – it saves time going around and configuring every machine manually and the administration of making sure there are no conflicting IP addresses or unused address space.

2. Any organization can benefit from static IP addresses – though it is normally more manageable the smaller the network so sub 100 – the reason for the benefit is that it gives you more granular control over the users and the addresses they use. The problem with static IP addresses is administrative overload and machine can not move easily from subnet to subnet. DHCP allows moving from subnet to subnet more easily.

3. Trick question since all machines could use DHCP if you DHCP reservations setup -with DHCP reservations the DHCP server would match up the MAC address and make sure the machine always had the same IP address the same as static. However if you are referring to the fact that some machines need to have the same IP address all of the time for accessability it would be a server.

Why should a network diagram be kept current?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

If it’s out of date there is no method for troubleshooting.

You could be trying to test IP addresses that are no longer there – or wonder where the missing equipment is if it got changed out.

Keeping a network diagram current literally saves you hours that you would otherwise spend tracking things down.

What compact disc is the best for media backup?

I’m trying to clear out some old stuff on my external harddrive. Like what brand and memory size….I’ve tried the dvd-r memorex dvds but I can’t use it as a backup – it won’t let me.
I would use Dynex 700MB CD-Rs but the memory is so small. I’ve got like100GB worth of media and about a quarter of it I don’t watch often.
help please…

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

90% of CD-Rs are 700 MB – you can get some online that are 810 MB but you need to make sure your CD Burner supports it.

For nuder 30.00 you can get a DVD burner these days – if you figure that a normal DVD can hold 4.7 gigs (meaning you only need 25 to backup your whole harddrive) or 9.4 gigs for dual layer (though I would stick with single layer for best compatibility) it is definetly worth it to upgrade to a DVD burner.

Beyond that – Brands? – these usually don’t matter – the more you pay sometimes will give you better quality to make them last longer but I can say I use alot of bargain basement CDR’s and DVDR’s – the best thing I can say to look for is a silk screened top instead of a shiny top – this can lead to a little more scratch resistance.

Some will actually pay you – but then you do sign away your email address to their database. They use this to sell to marketers since they then know what you like, don’t like, and what you are willing to buy.

Personally I think it’s more pain then what you get out of it – but it’s all up to you and whether the spam is worth it.

Why can’t my computer install many of the MS updates? Do I need them?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

Do you have a legitimate copy of windows?

If you don’t you’ll be blocked from installing them because of the Windows Genuine Advantage program – this checks for illicit copies of windows (sometimes it was the reseller not you personally) and refuse to install some updates – but allow others.

What is the error message you get?

I would say a majority of the patches are relevant and important.

  • Trends toward device integration

    Asked by Tony Rich

    Your Public Answer:

    “I always recommend using the best device for the task at hand. Integrated devices are great for smaller businesses that either can’t afford the additional security or the cost out weighs the benefit. On the other hand when the benefits outweigh the cost it is better to get a individual devices that can handle the proper functions. One of the main problems with integrated devices is that you usually loose some form of functionality. To get all these functions into one device it takes much more additional overhead in CPU and memory so companies usually strip out some of the higher AV detection – or the IDS detection is sub par. While the devices may still function for you adequately enough – it matters the functions that were stripped and your needs – you definetly gain a better security posture and architecture overall with dedicated devices.”

How do I make one domain redirect to another?

I just bought two domain names, say for example, first.com and second.com. I setup second.com on new nameservers and it’s ready to go. How do I make first.com redirect a user to second.com automatically? Does first.com ALSO have to be on the new nameservers? It doesn’t seem that it would need to.

In other words, just like the way yaho.com will redirect you to yahoo.com, I want first.com to redirect you to second.com. How is this done?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;Go to your DNS provider on your name server and create a CNAME for the new name and put the server you want it to redirect to in the address.

If you use go daddy you have to use sub domain redirects – PITA go daddy not following the standards

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;I would assume the age of the car- if there is a lockout on the starter in place (since if there isn’t this adds to the cost and could be bypassed otherwise) – but it all depends on how much overhaul is needed.

If you have a car that needs a chip in the key to start it I would assume it is alot cheaper to hook the breathalizer into that system compared to a car that did not already have a lockout mechanism.

Why does lighting never strike twice in the same place?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;Can lightning strike twice?

In many ways. As mentioned, in a typical lightning flash, often several strokes hit the same spot in rapid succession. Tall structures and buildings such as the Empire State Building in New York City, the Hancock Building in Chicago and the CN Tower in Toronto are hit many times each year. This fact has actually led to lightning research programs using structures like these. In general any object struck by lightning is generally a better candidate to be struck again than something which hasn’t been zapped.

And then lightning does strike twice…and sometimes with apparent malevolence. On 8 August 1937, three persons were killed by a bolt that struck the Jacob Riis Park beach in New York. On 7 August 1938, almost a year to the day later, lightning again struck the same beach, and again killed 3 bathers. And don’t tell a homeowner in Arvada, CO that lightning doesn’t strike twice. His new house was struck during a summer thunderstorm and sustained considerable damage. Just as they were getting things back in shape six weeks later-shazaam! resulting in $30,000 more in fire damage.

Fear of Business Idea Theft?

I have a lot of business ideas I’ve left untouched because I have a fear of meeting with potential “business partners” who might steal my idea. This has set me back a lot and now I am ready to set up a business with a lot of potential but that fear is coming back. Do you think I can register a service? Even though, I think it’s a hassle also, and since it’s not a product invention, I’m afraid someone with more capital can just launch a company and start a business with my idea or maybe improve it. What can I do? How do people get with strangers to form a successful business? I cannot start the business by myself alone as I need a team for a lot of varied tasks.

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;It’s a matter of trust – you could go through a lawyer and have them sign a non compete and non disclosure form though – this will give you legal recourse.

One of the key things with your business idea though is document and date everything before you meet them and the date time of the meeting and who you met with, what was discussed.

This way you have evidence that is submissible in court if the worst should happen and you need legal recourse.

What’s the connection between the Internet & the World Wide Web?

please be as detailed as possible please! How are they connected and relate to each other?

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;

The Internet is a network of inter connected computers that can talk to each other using the TCP/IP protocol – the internet was designed in the 1960’s by DARPA in it’s attempt to create two projects. The first being a low cost time sharing computing platform that would allow many users to utilize resources on a shared server. The second reason was to develop a network that would be resistant to a nuclear attack or any other disaster.

The World Wide Web was built upon this platform in the early 90’s (built upon previous ideas though) using the HTTP protocol. HTTP is using port 80 in the tcp stack and HTTPS for encrypted sites uses port 443. There is 65535 ports in the TCP stack and the WWW uses only 2 of them.

The normal usage of the World WIde Web access is through some sort of web browser. Other protocols and programs that use some of the other 65535 ports use different access methods that may or may not be tied to the browser.

The WWW uses the Internet as it’s platform that it runs on – so the WWW could not truly exist without the internet – but the internet could survive without the WWW.

Go to options
Go to security

What should I do next after connecting two laptop through CAT5? The LAN in 2 laptops still showing disconnect.

I have modified the TCP/IP properties for the 2 LAN connection to IP 192.168.1. 1 and another to 192.168.1.2, then I stuck there.

oAnswers.blockUserEnabled = true;Verify the connectivity in the laptops at the nic – do you have link lights on the nic that are lit – usually these are green colored lights.

If you don’t have these you need either to have a crossover cable or a hub to put in between the computers – if you have a router that has network ports on it you can use that.

Once again verify that the link lights are on – if they are you are good. If not you have other cable or hardware problems.

If the lights are lit – go to the laptop with the IP address 192.168.1.1 go o the run menu and type cmd – then when you are in the command prompt type ping 192.168.1.2 – verify you are getting response packets and this will verify connectivity.

  • Outbound web access in today’s world

    Asked by Scott Foster | 2 days ago in Information Security | Open

    Your Public Answer:

    “Let’s focus on outbound access – since the firewall is primarily a defense against in bound threats (it does have it’s outbound properties but by and large it’s designed to keep outsiders out). Anything you devise will be circumvented by your technically competent users. How many competent users and whether they will circumvent them applies strictly to your organization. Block a web site? Users can just go to a proxy/anonymous site that offers SSL encryption to get to that site. A news article that they can’t read because the site is blocked? Google’s cache answers that problem real quick. IM service blocking – use a web based IM service that goes to a proxy anoymous site with SSL again. Educating and allowing a user some level of responsibility for their actions is better then complete denial. If however you want to completely lock down the users. The best way to restrict information flow if you want to go beyond normal corporate policies (if you do this then this will happen) is to use a white listing filtering service. Since if you use web sense, symantec, or any other service out there in blacklisting mode users will just discover new sites or anonymous services that allow them to do the same thing. If however you just allow access to white listed sites then they can only go to approved data sources. To go over the technologies you listed and brief description of their primary uses: Firewall – restricting port and flow access to different network services depending on it’s level of restriction and complexity – a level 7 firewall is much more intelligent then a simple layer 3 firewall. IPS – to detect certain pattern matching or baseline deviation patterns of data types on your network – it can detect virii and computer exploits in the data stream or unusually high bandwidth consumption for the network or certain computers. Routers – route traffic on your network and can do basic low level firewalling through ACL’s Proxies – designed to increase information flow through caching and decrease bandwidth needs – some can do very basic firewalling and or site blacklisting/whitelisting. URL Filtering servers – can do white or black listing based on product needs. If I was going to design access I would put basic firewalls and URL filtering services at each site – this would maintain lower bandwidth needs if the bright idea occurred to someone to run it through all one location. THe cost is higher in hardware in software – but this isi usually a one time expnse compared to the recurring higher bandwidth costs. Other items will be much more dependent on the network layout or corporate policies then you have laid out so far. In reality the design would take hours of interviews and views of your current architecture to give a truly accurate answer.”
