    - XP SP2 and Active-X and Explorer Call me stupid ("Hi, Stupid!") but after service pack 2, Explorer pops up with an objection and dialog whenever I want to run something that uses Active-X through the brower. (Zoomify, for example). I tried stifling the warning/objection through Explorer's security options, but it didn't help. What exact options am I missing? Also, SP2 deleted all my shortcuts to Explorer. No big deal, really. Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59997

    - reply to spyware jerks Thanks, I've been so busy trying to remove this thing I forgot to submit it to spybot. It wouldn't be that hard to remove it if the system would recognize it but this guy pulled off a sneaky deal. The bad thing is it doesn't show any connection or trace route or any way to get to it. Thanks again to all. Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59994

    - NTFS Backups to External Hard Drive I am running Windows XP Professional SP1. I recently purchased a 120G external hard drive and formatted it as an NTFS partition. I am using the external hard drive to backup files from my computer (My Documents, some software installation files, and a few other directories), and then I am planning to reformat my PC and restore the files from the external hard drive. I was wanting to know, is anything I will need to do as far as NTFS security permissions on the external hard drive folders to ensure that I will have access the files after I reformat my computer and reinstall Windows XP Professional? Thank you for your time. Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59989

    - 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! http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php? p=25034&highlight=#25034 (For those unfamiliar with Spyware Warrior, http://www.netrn.net/spywareblog/ is a spyware blog and http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm is the great guide to anti-spyware apps you should NOT get!)

    - 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 server is alternatively in Russia and berlin germany. 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 For Berlin, the Host name is 141.45.186.7 and the destination IP is: dozenten.f1.fhtw-berlin-de Does this seem odd or am I getting paranoid? If this is a spoof, how do I stop their server from attempting to access my system? Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59977

    - 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: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59941

    - CDs that execute code without asking Hi, The other day I took my 35mm film to a photography shop and asked for a CD of my scanned photos along with negatives and prints. When I put the CD in my PC, Windows XP immediately executed a FujiFilm photo-viewing program on the CD without asking me. I am no expert on security, but doesn't this break all the rules? When you insert, say, an audio CD, Windows asks you what you want to do with it. One of the choices is "Do Nothing". Microsoft have gone to some lengths to educate people not to execute e-mail attachments. So why is Windows running arbitrary code on a 3rd party CD without my consent? Unlike e-mail attachments, I'm reasonably confident it won't have a virus. But still, running code can do anything. Did software get installed? Even if the purpose is innocent (say, to make start-up time faster next time), did it add/change registry settings? Overwrite DLLs? This risks breaking something else on the PC. What about spyware? "Bundled" commercial software like this is a high-risk category for spyware, I'd think. Anyway, the point is not whether this particular software is safe - it's that I don't think Windows should have run it without asking me. I want Windows to tell me the CD is trying to run software, and ask if I agree. Then I can decide whether I trust the vendor. After all, I asked for data, not software. Is there any way to recongifure Windows to prevent it doing this? Is this behaviour still the default in SP2? Thanks, James Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59925

    - Create a computer certificate for non-connected machine? Here's my scenario: We're doing L2TP VPNs, and we have a very well functional internal PKI set up (doing EAP-TLS for interal wireless, so it's well tested). In doing L2TP VPNs, we need to get certificates on the clients--a User level certificate stored in the local computer store. That's easy, we do it with autoenrollment and a GPO on the domain. However, I have 2 clients that are not part of my domain that need to get a computer certificate. I can get them the certs for my Root and issuing certificate authorities, that's easy, but how in the world do I get them a computer certificate? Please note, they are completely disconnected. Our Certificate server is not reachable from the outside world, nor are these computers going to be toted into the office to be on my network anytime soon. I'm not doing PPTP to get them in without certificates to make the request. How can I make a request on their behalf and export something that I can send via floppy or USB? We're not ready to do smartcards yet. Gratzi Edd Tag: how to open port 2047 Tag: 59851

1) Site tech for what/who?
2) What problems are you having that requires port 2047?
3) What firewall are you using?

well, unless you have blocked it with a firewall all you have to do is start
the program that is supposed to be using it. if you have a firewall then
you should consult it's help and see how to open the port for whatever
protocol the tech told you to open it for.
