TCP/IP Filtering
I'm looking to lockdown a server that has two nics on it.
One NIC is a direct connection to the internet, and the
other has full internal access. I turn filtering on and
only allowed the following ports:
TCP:
20
21
25
80
110
443
UDP:
53
When I filter the direct internet connection to these
only, I am unable to resolve DNS names through the name
server. Am I missing something? I tried this on Windows
2000 Advanced and Windows 2003 Advance and have had no
luck with both. Thanks.

IP changing again
Are you wondering why I need to change my IP?Because there
is a website (you can guess which one) that doesn't accept
an IP from Romania.They actually accept it but thats no
use for me if they know I'm from Romania.If they would
think that I am from a country other than Rom. then it
would be very good for me.Look,if you can help me ..OK ,if
not that's OK too.I understand why. Tag: Does KB823980 patch avaliable for Windows PAN NT 4.0 ? Tag: 28669

OE Hijacking
Some online ad company has taken over the main window in
my OE. It is now blank white until I connect to my ISP,
then a lame imitation of the default OE main window
appears with links to various products and services.
The "Tip of the Day" area now talks about what to do if I
have bad credit!
I can get the default window back with System Restore but
two days later it's the same crap again.
Somebody must have installed some sort of spyware or
homing pinger on the computer that solicits these
intrusions.
Any ideas on how to find the culprit code and delete it so
that OE can remain unmolested and the same, repeated
series of pop-ups can be banished? Tag: Does KB823980 patch avaliable for Windows PAN NT 4.0 ? Tag: 28615

Norton AntiVirus Uninstall
Gang,
I can't get Norton "completely" uninstalled. I've got XP
and it never showed it in the Control Panel but it was
loaded under Program Files/ Norton. I've tried deleting

gotten all the files.
Bottom line..I'm trying to load McAfee and it still sees I
have Norton loaded and the install aborts.
Any suggestions? Tag: Does KB823980 patch avaliable for Windows PAN NT 4.0 ? Tag: 28595

Zone Alarm annoynace
Hi,
I just installed Zone Alarm 4.0 and everytime I try to
access pages outside my ISP proxy server area IE just times
out and loads nothing. I'm running with win XP.
Mozilla and Opera work fine with access to www pages, and
ftp, mail and telnet programs work as well, but with IE
6.0, it simply refuses to connect to external links.
I've tried disabling program control in ZAP, but its no
good. The only way to get IE working is to turn ZAP off and
that's not very feasable. Tag: Does KB823980 patch avaliable for Windows PAN NT 4.0 ? Tag: 28507

How can I determine the signer of a CAB/DLL/EXE file?
Hi there,
I'm not sure whether this is the right group to post this query to, but if
not, any pointers to the relevant resources would be helpful :)
What I'm attempting to do is write an installer that will i) download a
CAB/DLL from the internet, ii) verify its digital signature, and iii) check
the name of the signer. Only if our company is the signer will the CAB/DLL
be installed on the user's machine.
I have managed i) with WinInet*() and ii) with WinVerifyTrust(), but I am at
a loss as to how to achieve iii). Can anyone suggest a method that would
allow me to do this? It must be possible since IE displays the name of the
signer when you download an ActiveX from the internet, but I'm stuggling to
find an API function to extract this information from a PE/DLL/CAB file.

Blaster patch
Hello! I have WIndows XP/home on my PC and I update my
Norton anti-virus software weekly. I've run a scan on my
computer and am not infected with the Blaster worm. Do I
still need to install the Microsoft patch if I continue
to update my anti-virus software regularly? I'm reluctant
to do so if I don't have to, since I'm afraid the patch
will interfere with other programs on my system. And if I
still do need to install the patch, can you tell me which
one it is? There are quite a few that the Microsoft site
lists for me, and I can't tell which one is for Blaster.
