    Smartboard advice

    We are looking for a solution for an engineer to be able to project a AutoCAD image on a screen and be able to manipulate it or make markups to it. I am not very familiar with the smartboards but I believe they can handle this and more. Does anyone have any experience with them and what...

    Security Event Log not logging correctly

    I am probably over thinking this but I have a server that seems to be logging other events fine but the security log has only one entry. If I clear the log, as if it were corrupted, one entry shows up and nothing more after. I went through the local policy and didn't seem to have any issues...

    Test for Outgoing Spam (malware)

    I thought about just blocking port 25 from all users except the Exchange server which would work in most instances but we do have some companies we support that don't have their own mail server which make that difficult. The other thought I had was how long until the trojan/zombie progs are...

    Test for Outgoing Spam (malware)

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I am looking at a few products to try to block malware from sending spam from our pc's and getting us put on a blacklist but still allow legit emails out. There are a few 3rd party apps and hardware solutions available that I'd like to test but it doesn't...

    Event Log Source List

    I currently have the errors that are logged being sent to an email account that I don't want to monitor constantly. I would like to create rules that would forward critical errors (ie low disk space, backup errors, etc) but not all to my active account. I have done some searching and I can't...

    Data transfer from Mac

    Not sure whether to post this here or in the Mac forum but since I'm working on a pc I'llk try here. Anyway, I have a client with an old Mac Performa that he'd like some data off of. The Mac doesn't boot anymore and he thought I might be able to help. The hd has an ide connection and I...

    USB not working

    It looks like there is something wrong with some hw component. I did a repair install (since the original problem was a corrupt disk, I thought I would just in case), flashed the bios, and reinstalled the chipset drivers and still nothing. I finally put a parallel install on the system, and...

    USB not working

    I'm sorry if this should be in the peripheral section. I wasn't sure. Here's the story... I have a customer with a Dell Dimension that's about 2 years old. Storms came through and had some problems with it since. The hd was corrupted and I managed to get that working ok but for some...

    PCMCIA Card problem

    Thanks guys. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a parallel adapter. I wouldn't have thought it was even possible. As far as a 16 bit wireless, I wouldn't mind if it was 802.11b, but I couldn't find one at any of my usual sources. My google searches are uneventful as well, not...

    PCMCIA Card problem

    Thanks, I knew I felt like an idiot for a reason. I didn't even think about that. Unfortunatly since it's a 16 bit slot, I am out of luck for either a wireless or usb card. Thanks for the help.

    PCMCIA Card problem

    Let me start by saying I feel like and idiot for having to ask this. I have a client with an old dell laptop circa 98-2k. The os is 2k but I don't know if it was an upgrade or not but that isn't important, it is not new. On top of that, there are no USB slots. I am trying to install a...

    Please help, Network compromised

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I still don't have a fix yet, but I am still working on it. I am working through all of your suggestions. Since I am not there often, this has dragged on longer than it probably should. Luckily there doesn't seem to be any issues with the servers, just...

    Please help, Network compromised

    Basically, the story is that we have a web filter installed on the network. We can see when people hit sites that they're not suppsed to. The web filter logs both the username and the ip address of the machine that they were logged into. This place is a 24 hr operation with a paid staff...

    Please help, Network compromised

    I'm sorry if I misled you, but this is an internal problem. At this point, there should be no access available from the internet side.

    Please help, Network compromised

    I believe I have a network that someone has run a packet sniffer on it. We have a webfilter and we have seen hits to it from admin accounts and from people that aren't in the building when the hits happen. There is something weird going on. Any suggestions as to finding the possible sniffer...
