client to gateway, of course. Otherwise it would not be blocked.ISP's just want to be paid for Business se even if it is only occasionally
As stated: Users is at HOME. That is why the issue. If they were on a business internet, no problem.-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 06:34 PM)
As for the WDN, I haven't had any problems with it lately. Like for 4 or 5 years? Should I have? Of course, I did add the referenced QDN to the matching IP in the Hosts file correctly in both the server and the client systems (I have never known why the Server would need to know its own name but I was told to do that once a long time ago and it solved the problem once and for all).-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 06:34 PM)
As for all the mapped drives, that has always been a complaint of my own. Technically hese could all be subfolders of the main USERS folder with permissions mapped. I inherited this mess running on Server 2008 R1 and am just trying not to rock the boat too hard.-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 06:34 PM)
Worse, if you run as admin in windows 8, for some odd reason the drives you create with net use as admin can then only be accessed when logged in as admin
windows 8 seems to have changed a lot of the way mapped network drives are configured-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 11:39 AM)
...This was only a simple workgroup, not a Domain setup. I never did find out what was IN the ULTIMATE version that was not in the Regular Version but it sure as heck worked that way.-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 11:39 AM)
While I'm at it, tell me this. Do you know of any way to set a router such that all traffic originating on port 445 is re routed to another port so that people whose ISP's block 445 can connect their VPN and map to a servers sshared folders? The SMB protocols require port 445 which many ISP's block. Supposedly to give you better "security" yet the same ISP does not bother to be so "protective" if you have a business account. Then the port is NOT blocked. What it mostly does is prevent people from working at home on their Home internet unless they pay extra to get Business Internet (or rather pay extra to Unblock those ports)-questorfla (March 12, 2014, 11:39 AM)
This company uses Outlook like a Giant Filing Cabinet and learning NEW ways here is not a good thing.-questorfla (March 11, 2014, 01:32 PM)
Note: Although this doesn't address your question, I can't help but point out that using Outlook as a "giant filing cabinet" is an extremely bad idea for more reasons than I have time to go into. Even Microsoft frowns on using it for that.-40hz (March 11, 2014, 01:56 PM)
I'll take this as a sign she's learned something as soon as she applies the same standard to my privacy as her own. After all, some animals are more equal than others.-Vurbal (March 11, 2014, 02:08 PM)
But you are indeed right. 
just for your information:Hmmm...I'll have to look into that when I get home. I want to say that's an option, and I think my SpamNet option is disabled. NOt sure though.The message headers are not used for the classification via SpamNet.http://antispamsnipe...elp/oewm/spamnet.htm-Antispam Sniper-Curt (March 10, 2014, 09:33 AM)-superboyac (March 10, 2014, 10:12 AM)
So instead of just having three simple buttons which would be "intimidating", we have one button...but with a long press option. Really? Is that really that much easier. end rant.-superboyac (March 05, 2014, 12:44 PM)
^More likely easement issues and physical security I'm guessing.-40hz (March 05, 2014, 07:43 AM)
I already typed this so I'll post it anyway.-Stoic Joker (March 03, 2014, 11:31 AM)
In my case, I was able to identify the actual boot target and navigate to the correct boot repair tools. Even with that none of the repair attempts successfully concluded. It would go away for an hour or so, then come back with the helpful news that the repair could not be successfully completed and ask if I wanted to reboot...
In my case, I think killing the rootkit took some important stuff along with it. Repairing partition tables and MBR didn't help. System said successful and all ok. But same deal on reboot. Nada.
(see attachment in previous post)No joy I'm afraid.
Interestingly, the hidden factory recovery partition was completely trashed. I could see it. But the OEM recovery manager (Sony VAIO) reported it was invalid and couldn't be used. Don't know if the malware did something to it, or possibly Kapersky nuked something on it. But if so, it didn't indicate doing anything to it in the log therefor scratch Kapersky as a possible culprit.
So in this case it was less "scorched earth" and more like "last resort." Especially since the client hadn't made a recovery disk set and I had to order media from Sony. (Which is always great fun. Not.) Normally I won't bill a good client for a basic OS reinstall/recovery as long as they have a working disk set. In this case, I charged them one hour at my full hourly rate.
Show me some consideration - or show me a check.

Oh, and an extra warning related to installing Win7 on a laptop (mine is a Dell Studio). If you have trouble getting it to boot up, unplug all USB devices until after you have installed all updates, even if you have boot from usb disabled, like I did. I started having troubles after installing SP1 and had to unplug my mouse to get it to finish booting, and one of the later updates that was not included in SP1 resolved it. No more issues.-app103 (March 03, 2014, 02:57 AM)
There have been several times that I've been about to click to reply to something... then it asked me to link a FB account.-wraith808 (February 28, 2014, 02:45 PM)
- I react to that like a vampire to a garlic flavored wooden cross with a UV light and a pointy end. A quick search on Trusteer Rapport leads me to believe it's probably the culprit.-Vurbal (February 28, 2014, 10:38 AM)
In these cases, a critical legal question that often arises is whether the thieves compromised the customer’s system or that of the bank’s. I mention this because Trusteer recently built a new component into Rapport called Flashlight, whichtries togive partner banks the ability to remotely check to see if their customers’ systems are infected with malicious software. Whether the banks will proactively use that feature to stop online banking fraud is unclear, but such a feature would make it tougher for small and mid-sized businesses that lose money to online bank fraud to claim that their computers weren’t the sole cause of the loss.
although I would have been happier if the images were bigger-tomos (February 27, 2014, 05:11 AM)
