vpn problems
I use Cisco vpn to connect to a secure site. Using XP
this worked fine for several months. I have Sygate
personal firewall installed as well.
Yesterday I installed the XP SP2 and everytime I now try
to use the vpn connection (on entering name/password) the
screen goes black and the computer re-boots. In re-
booting there is automatically a "disc check for
consistency" and a number of *.pf files (what are these?)
are "not valid". The message indicates that these
are "fixed" by copying old files!! One of these is called
vpngui.pf, which seems sort of relevant.
Any suggestiomns would be appreciated. I have tried
turning off the Windows XP firewall (which appeaerd with
the XP SP2) but this makes no difference to the propblem.

Map network dive- resource error
When I try to map a network drive to my notebook, I get the error
"[Network name] not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource."
I am able to map the drive to another computer on my network so I assume
the server is configured properly. (It's not configured as a server, I
just use it that way - it's a peer to peer network)
The notebook communicates through an internet gateway with no problems.
When I look under My Network Places (In Windows Explorer) it shows the
network by name but no computers, printers, or folders. If I click on
the network name, I get the error as cited above.
The only user on any machine is me so I have (I think) total
administrator authority.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Firefox vs IE (restricted sites)
I'm contemplating the switch from IE to Firefox. I like
Firefox's pop-up blocking, low memory usage compared to
IE, etc. One thing that is stopping me is the fact that
Firefox doesn't have something like a Restricted Sites
zone like IE does.
I like the Restricted Sites zone in IE because it's a long
list of sites I've compiled so that these sites will not
be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets,
scripting, unwanted pop-ups, auto-installing of unwanted
programs like spyware, etc.
I'm apprehensive to use Firefox because of this, although
I know I can disable certain things in Firefox (like Java,
and ActiveX isn't even supported).
Am I being too paranoid here or is there something Firefox
gives in return for the loss of my cherished list of
restricted sites? Tag: HELP Sp Tag: 60093

I'm logged in as Administrator, the sounds are there. I

How do I make a network user login a Local Administrator?
Attempting an install of software that requires Local
Administrator rights while logging onto the network.
O/S -- PC with Windows XP Professional, a server with
2003 Server, and myriad other servers in a domain...
I thought that when you create a Local Administrator user
on a workstation, with the same username and password as
on the domain, it would authenticate the user in the
domain, while allowing the Local Administrator
privileges. This doesn't appear to be the case.
Every time I log into the domain with the username and
password (which is the same username and password on the
PC (as a Local Administrator) as in the domain (I'm not
sure what rights/privileges are given)), I receive an
error during the install stating that I didn't have
sufficient rights. When I go into Local Users and
Groups, I am unable to change or add anything. If I log
out of the domain and into "this PC", I am able to alter

Updated FAQ available for MBSA 1.2.1
I wanted to alert everyone that a new version of the MBSA FAQ is now posted -
thanks to your feedback on the newsgroups!
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsaqa.mspx
New in the FAQ :
Q. What versions of MBSA are supported?
A. PSS only supports the latest version of MBSA which is currently 1.2.1. The
mssecure.xml file that MBSA uses to identify missing security updates is
different for MBSA 1.2+ than for earlier versions. As of April 20th, 2004, the
mssecure.xml file used by earlier versions is no longer being updated.
Therefore, scans performed with MBSA 1.1.1 or earlier versions will be
incomplete. Users running less than MBSA 1.2.1 will see a message notifying them
that 1.2.1 is available.
Q. Do I need to uninstall MBSA 1.2 before installing MBSA 1.2.1?
A. No, MBSA 1.2.1 will automatically uninstall any previous version of MBSA
before installing MBSA 1.2.1
Q. Does MBSA support 64-bit Windows?
A. No.
Q. What is the current version of MBSA? Why do I see conflicting version
numbering in the product?
A. The latest version of MBSA is version 1.2.1 - which is also referred to as
1.2.4013.0 on some screens. The 4013.0 refers to build versioning. The official
version number exists in the "About Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer" link.
If you are running MBSA 1.2 you will see a message that a new version 1.2.4013.0
is available.
Q. What settings are required for a successful remote scan of a Windows XP SP2
machine?
A. This is addressed in the "readme.html" file in the "Help" directory under the
"#firewall" section. If you require remote scanning of Windows XP Service Pack 2
machines, these conditions must be met :
. The Server service, Remote Registry service, and File & Print Sharing services
must be enabled.
. Remote machine scans are performed using TCP ports 139 and 445. In a
multi-domain environment, where a firewall or filtering router separates the two
networks, TCP ports 139 and 445 and UDP ports 137 and 138 must be open in order
for MBSA to connect and authenticate to the remote network being scanned. You
must allow these ports on the remote Windows Firewall.

SpywareWarriors Vs. PrivacyToolsVendor
If you all don't read the Spyware Warrior forums, you are
really missing out on something that you have to see if
only for the entertaining yet surreal look of it (sort of
like a fatal highway crash).
There, a vendor of the allegedly rogue anti-spyware
app "Privacy Tools 2004" posted to defend his product and
ask for opinions on how he can fix the problems with it.
From there, it went downhill fast! The vendor ("Ash1ey")
went on to berate the posters there, actually threatened
to ADD spyware in the app that was supposedly suppose to
scan and remove it, and now threatens legal action! This
is too good to be missed!
This is a look into the mind of one of these people trying
to make a quick buck off unsuspecting consumers. It's a
must read!

servers in russia?
I am not sure if i am posting to the correct newsgroup,
but here goes. When I start my computer and the firewall
is activated, my firewall ("zero-knowledge Freedom")is
programmed to ask me whether to accept or deny access to
my computer from outside servers that are ostensibly
related to various software programs. One of the programs
for which i receive a message is Windows Explorer. What
seems odd to me is that the IP address of the remote

Does Microsoft really host some of its stuff on servers
in Russia and germany. For Russia, the host name is
listed as 62.118.251.84 and the destination IP address
is : v20-u.valuehost.ru

spyware is ruining my computer
I seemed to have picked up a trojan virus. It is one of those what
says: you have to download "SPY WARE"
I always refused to download that thing. My Norton antivirus has been
quarentining the virus. So far 70 copies of it has been quarentined.
The problem is that the function of my computer has been going down.
It is now to the point that I can no longer surf the internet b/c
internet explorer locks up.
Do you think I should have downloaded spyware? What is spyware? I
figured that it was another virus that the first trojan horse is just
trying to get me to dl a bigger virus.
Also, even tho norton has been putting these viruses in quarentine,
they still continue to damage my computer.
So, I am now to the point where I have to format my harddrive and
reinstall everyhting. It is going ot be a pain in the butt.
any help? Any one know more about htis spyware thing?\
thjx in advance. Tag: HELP Sp Tag: 59941
