Port 1026, UDP, is an alternative to 135 for Windows Messenger. This is a common port used by scammers to launch system popups through.

I've got to agree that it is either TrendMicro or Symantec. Also have to agree that Symantec is easier to use than TrendMicro. However, I would definitely say that TrendMicro has one advantage over Symantec: Trend is not as widespread as Symantec. This is only an advantage because the most...

The script runs fine as far as that is concerned. Just out of curiosity, what is the command to delete a drive map?

Hello, gurus. I am currently running a Windows 2000 Terminal Server with some fairly restrictive group policies in place (i.e.: no desktop, auto-run some software, hide the start menu groups, etc.). My problem is that we run some software that requires a connection to a mapped drive located on...

Greetings, gurus. I have what should be a fairly simple problem to solve (but of course it's not, or I wouldn't be posting here.) I admin for a small company who just recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 from IMail. I had to take a small vacation, and when I returned I found that the Exchange...

Okay. Let's delve a little deeper. When you are attempting to browse, what happens? I'm guessing that you get a 404 - Page not Found, or an Internet Explorer could not open the search page error, so I'll run with that. Try dropping to a command prompt (normally available under the...

Promise cards tend not to play nice in PCI slot 1 (location on individual boards vary, check your manual). If you are having a similar problem, just move your card to a different PCI slot. Another common problem with Promise cards is that they do not play nice with USB keyboards and mice...

Sorry Skip, but once again I have to disagree with you. While you are right on about being friendlier to later peripherals, it definitely will not be more reliable or faster. The cache size is what's going to kill it. I have personally run a P3-500 against a Celeron 1.7 (same RAM, same HD...

Indeed, more info is required. You state that your modem is a USB modem...how are you handling the connection from the modem to the second pc? ICS? Is there a LAN port at all on your DSL modem? Let us know and we can help you out. Thanks. -jbotz

I would say not. What would be more critical is ensuring that you have a decent upstream pipe for your 20MB uploads.

Okay. I have it set to automatic. I'll test after business hours today. Thanks for all your help. -Jason

I caught something in one of the earlier posts that I wanted to double check. Could you run through for me your wiring path for your cable modem, previously? What are the settings that you have tried in your router? I have used the WUSB-11 with a BEFW11S4 (it's two setups ago, but it worked)...

The fact that he is not able to load his BIOS is distinctly troubling. The BIOS is stored in a separate partition on the HD itself. This sounds to me like a HDD failure, rather than an OS crash. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. -Jason

Check your hard disk pre-delay settings. Some HP, Compaq, and (older) Dell computers use a partition on the Hard Drive that stores the BIOS information. If the drive is given enough time to spin up, then all relevant data is loaded from the drive, components are identified, and the computer...

I looked, and the closest thing to that service was the World Wide Web Publishing Service, which was set to manual, but started. I set to automatic, but wanted to make sure that I wasn't, perhaps, missing something else.
