I'm wondering if there is a way to block an XP machine from seeing/being seen from the internet nut still have full access to the LAN?

Long story as short as I can make it. I'm trying to take an image of my Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 and make a virtual machine out of it. I booted the Cuda from the Acronis True Image 2013 recovery media and made a full disc image. I then made a new VM and had it boot from an .ISO of the...

Some of you may have seen me bemoan my slow as hell Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 here before. I finally got in touch with the support folks and it runs a little better now buuuuuut, now it seem that the hard drive in the device is failing. They have offered to replace it for $1500 and our...

I'm not sure if this as at all possible but I wanted to throw it out there in case it is. I'm testing Windows 8 now and when I loaded it I logged in using my personal Microsoft account. What I would like to do is join the VM to my domain and login using my domain account but also have my...

I'm not sure if this is anyway possible but I knew if anyone would be able to tell me it would be you all. My company currently uses AT&T for DNS, according to them, the name servers are being DOSed and it got me to thinking of how to have backup DNS. The domains are registered through...

I am working with an HP ProLiant DL380-G5 that is running RAID 5 with a spare. All of the drives are HP 146 GB SAS drives and I want to get a few spares for when something goes bad. The problem I am having is the supplier we use doesn't have the drives I am using but wants to sell me some 300 GB...

This is probably a stupid question but I wanted to bounce it off of you all. I am still running an Athlon 64 in my Shuttle, I am considering picking up a Blu Ray drive for ripping. I know the machine won't be able to handle playback but do you think it can handle ripping discs? I'm not concerned...

I'm not even sure there is such a beast but... After a small "Oh my GOD the hard drive crashed!" moment on Friday, my boss wants to put a mirror in one of our servers. We have Server 2000 (may become 2003 in a few months) and the onboard SATA does not support RAID. I did a quick search...

The TS server in my companies remote office just had a network scanner program loaded onto it. Now when someone logs into their profile they get an error from that program. Is there a way to prevent that program from loading in a TS session?

Morning all, I have been looking into the DNS vulnerability in 2000 Server and 2003. We have a couple here that run DNS for Active Directory purposes. So my noob questions are this: 1) Should I be concerned about this since the DNS is only for AD, I tend to be paranoid about these types...

I am looking to upgrade from my Samsung 17" CRT to an LCD. I have been looking at the Dell E228WFP and the Dell 2007FPW. The thing that concerns me is that I am running an eVGA 6600 GT (AGP). Is that going to be able to push a panel of that size? Please keep in mind that I know absolutely...

I am looking at getting started with WMI in order to manage the small network here at work. Right now things are being done the hardest way possible and I would really love to get some automation and other simpler ways of managing the network. Which leads me to my question. I have never had...

I just wanted to bounce this off of everyone here to see how you all feel about it. A friend of my wife bought a Linspire PC from Fry's. They were having trouble getting WIndows XP on the machine and asked me to look at it. They mentioned that they had also purchased an adition memory stick...

Well here I am again, I have just installed Backup Exec 10 Continuous Protection Server. I have pushed the remote agent to a Windows 2000 server in a remote office (connected via VPN) and setup the backup job. Now, here's the rub, when I start the job it gives an error stating "Unable to...

As some of you may know I have recently found myself as the network admin for a small company. So far things are going well but I have grown tired of having to go from workstation to workstation mapping out drives when something changes et all. The point is that I would love to look into...

My boss is looking to get Veritas Volume Replicator for the office. We have an office in Addison and one in Wichita Falls, what we want to have is one repository of data that both offices can work on at the local office and have that data replicate, block leve, to the other office (over the VPN...

I am having a little brainfart at the moment and wanted to run this buy the gurus: Is it possible to have a 110 punch down block link to a patch panel so that, when a new cable is run that cable could be punched down on 110 and made live? I know it is a bit odd but there are huge space...

Okay, I have two different AD domains located in two cities. What I am trying to do is get the two domains to see each other so I can try some data replication software. There is a two way trust set up between the two domains and I can browse the other domain by running \\domain2.com. The...

This one has me scratching my head so I sure hope someone here can show some mercy on me. I have one Win 2K Active DIrectory server that I need to migrate all of the user information. shares, et all to the new AD server. Is this even possible? I have found mogration tools to migrate from NT4 to...

Hey all, I have a code from PC Gamer for a coat in The Matrix Online, looks black with a fire eyball thing on it. I don't play so I figured someone here may want it. Send me a PM for the code if interested, first come first serve.

I am at my wits end with this so maybe someone here has seen it. I just finished building my new system, and Quicktime is acting goofey. What I mean by this is that the file will load up fine and I hear the sound but I get no video. Now, if I take the window and start moving it around like I am...

I just found this link on Slashdot. Looks like Microsoft is expanding it's reach. http://news.com.com/Windows+for+supercomputers+likely+out+by+fall/2100-1012_3-5598603.html?tag=nefd.top

I was just wondering if any of you all would try to use this mobo: I was putting the HSF and slipped, as you can see there is a bit of nick on the mobo, I have been told to go ahead and run it but I figure more opinions could not hurt.

Looks like there are some developers that are getting sick of software piracy. The programer who wrote Pocket Mechanic has allegedly placed code in an update that will erase your Pocket PC device if it is a pirate copy. I say allegedly because he has not confirmed that he did it as of yet, the...

This is one of the strangest, coolest things ever. I posted at the begining of October about my 9800 Pro kicking the bucket. Damn thing just wouldn't work. Everything was fine and one night when I came home it just stopped woking. Don't know why, just stopped............. Anyway, last night I...

I have been looking for a particular Live CD all day and I have hit a brick wall. Last night my Windows 2000 server instructor was using a Live CD, based on Gentoo that has a linux clone of Partition Magic. For whatever reason he can't remember what the distro is called but remebers that he got...

I just found this while browsing Slashdot: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6549265/ Somone made a FPS that let's you be Lee Harvey Oswald and kill JFK. They plan on releasing the game on the 41st anniversary of the JFK assassination in Dallas. This is kinda creepy and in poor taste if you ask me, but...

Welcome to my last nerve, I hope that you can help get Linux off of it. The story goes like this, I have an old Thinkpad (600E PII). I wanted to run Linux on it, so I was booting off of a Knopix STD CD. It works great, I can use either my wired NIC or my wireless without having to do...

Ok Guru's I need your wisdom. I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E, it's the PII 333 flavor of the 600 series. As I am sure you surmised by the title, I am looking to put Linux on it. I am still new when it comes to Linux. The only thing that I do with this laptop is carry it to clients homes in...

Ok all, I have 6 invites that I am sick of looking at. The first six people to send me a PM gets it. 1 per person please.

I am working on a VB project and have hit a bit of a block. We are wanting to link a Power Point presentation to the program, meaning that we want a user to hit a command button that will automaticaly launch a specific power point presentation and then close, going back to the original starting...

Ok, I am in complete denial here and hoping for a miracle. The story goes like this, I got a 9800 Pro used, it has worked great for almost a month now. Day before yesterday I am on the machine all day working, turn it off about four to go to class, get back from class abount eleven thirty that...

Sorry if this was covered allready, I'm still getting the n00b stink off of me. I had a chance to listen to the Zalman ZM-RS6F when I was at Quakecon. I have never used headphones when gaming before but they have become a necessity since my new office/game room shares a paper thin wall with my 3...
