Release and renew the Belkin WAN port or unplug it for 30 sec and plug it back in. Based on the settings you sent it is not getting an address from the hub. If you have to try the following address:

IP 192.168.1.200
NM 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.254

DNS1 192.168.1.254
DNS2 4.2.2.2

It could be the CPU or Power Supply fan bearing going out.... Try pulling the cover off so you can see inside and track the sound down to its source next time it happens.

Not quite.
DHCP is the service that provides systems with an IP address, Gateway and DNS if they ask for it.

A router controls a block of IP addresses and the flow in and out of the subnet to the WAN (or internet). Where a hub or switch (sometimes referred to as gateway mode on routers ) is simply a box that connects several ports together without supplying any services DHCP or Routing (Network address translation in this case). TO put the router in gateway mode you have to turn off both DHCP and routing.

It took me a while to get a handle of how network routing and subnets work and really just took somebody taking the time to explain what is going on.

You have three settings to deal with:
IP Address 192.168.1.100
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.254

These tell me that the computers address is 192.168.1.100. The subnetmask tells me that I can get to any IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 locally on my local network. That if I want to get to an IP outside that range (like google.com at 72.14.213.99) I have to send the traffic through the gateway which will send it along its way and add the routing information for packets to come back to me along the reverse route.

When you had your Belkin LAN and WAN ports in …

I do agree with Gerbil that removing and reinstalling should correct the issue however you need to make sure that it removes (or you remove if it doesn't during the uninstall) the UmxSbxExw.dll before you reinstall.

Gerbil is right and I was wrong about it being part of CA. It is in CA Security Suite and I am running an older version I received from my ISP a few years ago. It auto renews every day for another year but is old which is why it is my secondary anti-virus. By secondary I mean it is installed and updated but not resident. I use it to scan anything I am suspicious of and every now and then ( 1 in 150 +-) it will hit on something my Symantec misses. One is still one I don't need and it accessing files kicks the Symantec auto protect into play which catches the other 149. Just one Windows system left (everything else is Linux) and I do a lot of data conversions and data/file recovery. But this has nothing to do with the thread so I will stop now......

Try hooking your tv up and having it powered on when you boot up Windows XP. Depending on the control software it may need to see it as the driver is loaded for you to be able to access it.

Hello,

The problem is due to the routers being on the same subnet (i.e. 192.168.1.X) You have one of two choices:
1. Turn off the router capabilities of the Belkin and make it a switch (or gateway) and the the Home Hub handle the routing and DHCP.

2. Set the Belkin to 192.168.0.1 ( or 2.1 or 3.1 etc.)with netmask 255.255.255.0 and let it get a wan ip from the Home Hub and things will route from one subnet to the other.

What you need is one of the following applications:
TeamViewer, Gotomypc, or Logmein
They are designed to connect to your PC remotely without a fixed IP. Personally I like TeamViewer because the free version has file transfer capabilities however all of them have free apps.

I'm running CA as my secondary anti-virus and i don't have that dll.Try uninstalling and then remove the actual dll and see if that changes things. Or get gleary-utilities and see if it is a legit file.

Take the RAM back it is either the wrong speed or bad.

May I suggest Fedora Core 14. It is a red hat distribution that is primarily designed for laptops. I run it on mine and did not have any issues with any of the hardware. As a matter of fact I did not need to find and load any special drivers everything worked out of the box.

Unless I am mistaken that is a virus dll that should be removed.

A big part of the answer will have to do with what you want to find the key on or in, Your router, your computer or what...

Your script should work if you remove the quote marks. However may I suggest something like this. For your crontab entry (assuming your shell script file is in /root/bin and called getpic.sh) use:

00,30 * * * *  /root/bin/getpic.sh <Site URL of file to get> <filename>

For your script use:

#!/bin/bash
cd <path to where you want to store files> 
/usr/bin/wget $1/$2 
mv $2 $2.`date +%s`

Now you have a script you can use on multiple sites with multiple files. The date +%s inside the grave marks (to the left of the 1 below the tilde on most keyboards) will execute the date command and return a large integer and the actual file should show the date created.

%s     seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC

Then you don't have to worry about them being in the correct order in your directory listing or trying to figure out what year, month, day or time they were created. Hope that makes sense and works ok.

Hello,

Not sure if the site covers it but one of the things that you MUST have to get two windows XP systems to see each other is the NWLink NETBIOS protocol installed in every system. It is the protocol that broadcasts and identifies other windows systems when there is no Domain Controller in the local network.

To install it use the following:

1. Click on My Computer.
2. When explorer comes up RIGHT click on My Network Places in the list on the right and then from the dialog box select Properties at the bottom.
3. This will bring up Network Connections. Right click on the Local Area Connection X and again select Properties at the bottom.
4. You should get another box with Local Area Connection X Properties. Scroll through the box in the middle and see if there are any entries that start with NWLink. If not then click the Install button from the three buttons in the middle of the dialog box.
5. The next box asks what type of component you want to install select Protocol and click Add (sometimes takes a minute for the next box to pop up).
6. For your final selection pick NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible transport and Click OK.
7. It will take a moment and will not need and CD's or disks then come back to the Local Area Connection X Properties Box. Select OK for each of the boxes you have open.
8. It may but does not always suggest a reboot put I …

Hello,

If this is only for the one other desktop then add an entry to the etc/hosts file on the workstation that points www.site1.com to 192.168.31.28.

192.168.31.28 www.site1.com

If it is a linux system then the file is /etc/hosts
If it is a Windows system the file should be in \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Or check the following site for any OS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29

Hello,

You really need to talk to your network admin and see what they recommend or have setup first. VPN is the way to go but you are not going to be able to use it without their approval/assistance.

Hello,

First you have to figure out what the IP address of your router is and/or what the internet sees your address as. Go to one of the reporting pages like http://whatismyipaddress.com to find out. Once you have that address (which may change if your router is using DHCP on the WAN) go to your registrar and point your domain to that IP address. OR use the site that rje7 listed (which is really the way to go) and follow the instructions on setting up the registrar information.

Check on your router and make sure that you either allow port 80 through to the internal IP address of your Ubuntu server or many routers have an option for setting up a DMZ host IP which again would be the server IP (192.168.100.158).

Then call a friend and have them ping (or use nslookup ) your domain name

ping <yourdomainname.com>     pings your domain
nslookup <yourdomainname.com>     asks your local DNS for the info
nslookup <yourdomainname.com> <specificnameserver.com>     asks the specific nameserver for the info

and see what they get. Remember it can take 24 hours for DNS information to update accross the net. ping or nslookup will work from either Windows command prompt or Linux shell.

Hello,

Actually I use a domains.conf file in the /etc/http/conf directory and have this at the bottom of the httpd.conf file so I dont have to view or edit the original file:

Include /etc/httpd/conf/domains.conf

If I read the post correctly you are using excel to query info out of mysql and having problems with the date. I think it might be due to excel storing the date in it's own format. Have you tried changing the sell type on excel to text and then entering the date so it stores it as a text string instead of a date format?

Have you looked at the php pdf generator at http://www.fpdf.org/

I am just mentioning this in case you have not done so but you would also need to register your domain name with a registrar like godaddy or networksolutions or one of the many other registrars so your domainname belongs to you and cannot be redirected somewhere else.

Hello,

The only thing I can think of is probably off but it may be it. You mentioned that you are running the queries from C code. Are you termination the actual sql code entries with a semi-colon (;). If not then mysql would be waiting for you to finish entering the query before it executes. Does that make sense?

Try running the query from the mysql command line interface and you will see what I am referring to. Even when you type QUIT it does not execute till you enter the semi-colon.

Insert into tblReceiptDetails Set receiptID=2162,receiptDetailsID = 3687,
outletID = 11,stockID = 3120, productID= 3007,productType = 'Imei', productQuantity = 1 ,
productSIQ ='359478030011584', costPrice = 257, sellingPrice = 290, profitAmount =33,
profit = 'y' ;

The other thing that I notice is the format of your insert statement. I normally use a format where the fields are in the same order as the fields in the table and it looks something like this:

CREATE TABLE `Inventory` (
  `Item_ID` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Category_ID` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Category_Item_ID` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Item_Short_Description` varchar(20) CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT NULL,
  `On_Hand` int(10) DEFAULT '0',
  `Allocated` int(10) DEFAULT '0',
  `Re_Order_Level` int(10) DEFAULT '0',
  `Date_Last_Used` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `Date_Last_Added` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `Active` smallint(6) DEFAULT '0',
  `Date_Allocated` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `Min_Spare` int(10) DEFAULT '2',
  PRIMARY KEY (`Item_ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=125 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Hello,

Your missing the port I believe. Here is my httpd.conf entries for a couple of sites on same server.

NameVirtualHost *:80

#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    	ServerAdmin webmaster@chartwriter.com
#    	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/default
#    	ServerName chartwriter.com
#    	ErrorLog logs/chartwriter.com-error_log
#    	CustomLog logs/chartwriter.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    	ServerAdmin webmaster@chartwriter.com
    	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/chartwriter.com
    	ServerName chartwriter.com
    	ServerAlias www.chartwriter.com
    	ErrorLog logs/chartwriter.com-error_log
    	CustomLog logs/chartwriter.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    	ServerAdmin webmaster@txlinux.com
    	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/txlinux.com
    	ServerName txlinux.com
    	ServerAlias www.txlinux.com
    	ErrorLog logs/txlinux.com-error_log
    	CustomLog logs/txlinux.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

The NameVirtualHost entry at the top makes the system use the first host as the default if someone just goes to the IP address.

I have seen it do this before. Only solution I have found is to remove the mapping and then recreate it and make sure you have the save password selected. Either that or give the user permission to view the share and set the password th theie windows password.

Try turning on boot logging instead of safe mode and the system will create a log as it loads drivers and you will be able to see where it is crashing. Or second try VGA mode and see if it is something to do with the resolution. Third, get ahold of UBCD4Windows CD and use the system restore utilities to go back before you messed with the hive files and then use the password crackers to properly edit the registry.

For khakilang, the passwords are there to keep the honest people honest. It takes less than 2 minutes for me to crack any windows, linux or MAC OS provided I can get to the physical system. Passwords really work to keep people out of your system when they are working from a distance. But if you can get to the box it boots the way you tell it to.

If you are the original owner/purchaser of the laptop and dell can confirm it they have several backdoors they can provide via chat or phone call. If not try this web site:
http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114

You might have better luck with one of the older releases like Fedora 12 or 13 as they have had time to correct any bugs in the code and get all of the drivers working properly.

Yes you can read and write to it from a windows system. FOr example I have linux on my laptop and have samba running (http://www.samba.org/) with my Windows username and password added to the samba configuration. Samba uses my windows login as authentication to the linux shared drive. I have a guest user set up that can only read from the shared drive so I can quickly allow people on my local network access to the files on the server without authentication.
Linux (Unix) was designed to handle files and the GUI options were added later. Unlike windows which is a GUI that has had file managment added later.
I also have several clients that have a Linux server in their office for secure and virus free document storage and they have windows on their workstations and have no idea that the server is running Linux.

Just curious why you did not set it up as a Linux filesystem and then install samba. Samba lets you connect to and read/write files from/to a linux system as if it were a windows shared drive but still has the security and speed of a linux filesystem. I use it all of the time and it out runs windows servers for access times and ease of connectivity.

I think you will find that date is a reserved word and you need to change the field name.

Your select is forcing the must be in both tables issue. Try a left join instead.

$sql = "SELECT * 
FROM ".$_SESSION[dbprefix]."users
Left join user_skills ON user_skills.userid=users.id 
WHERE ((users.username LIKE '%" . $queryString . "%') OR (users.email LIKE '%" . $queryString . "%') OR (users.firstname LIKE '%" .$queryString . "%') OR (users.lastname LIKE '%" . $queryString . "%') OR (user_skills.skill LIKE '%" . $queryString . "%')) AND enabled='1'  ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3 ELSE ";

and you may need to list the fields from each table that you want to display.

May I suggest that you simply join the two queries to get the result you want

SELECT Folders.folder_name
FROM FoldersCats
Join Folders on Folders.folder_id = FolderCats.folder_id
WHERE Folder.cat_id=".$_GET['catid'
order by Folder.folder_name

Or something pretty close should work

Hardcoding the DNS would do a lot to prevent it. But I honestly do not think it would stop everything. If you still connect to a site that is infected it could get to your system. I think if there was a 100% positive way to prevent it somebody would be selling it like crazy.

I have found that it is not the wifi sites that are dangerous (except for proxy redirects that they get infected with) but the sites you connect to once you get on the web that do the most damage. I typically spend my evenings running software to remove viruses from two to three customer systems running WIndows and almost every one of them is on Limewire, Aries or some other peer to peer (Virus) sharing service.

As far as what to do to prevent your computer form getting viruses... get off Windows unless you run it virtually under another OS. I moved my laptop to linux about a year ago have not been happier. Fedora Core 12 is a stable OS with excellent resources, good wireless and other driver support and 99% of the software is FREE... Open source versions that work faster and better than the Windows versions. The only reason I still use Windows is for my games but I run those in Sun/Oracles Virtual box in a virtual XP system that is blocked from internet access unless I let it. My computer boots faster, actually multi-tasks and is virus spyware and adware frre. Unless I am mistaken there are only about 30 Viruses for linux, compared to more viruses than people on the planet for Windows, because they just can't spread (unless you use weak passwords and then you deserve it).

I'll get off my soap box now and wish you good luck with your …

I think the beep codes are a memory error but you should look them up. Here is a link to a site that has most manufacturers codes:
http://www.5starsupport.com/info/beep_codes.htm

This is from memory but I think it is a power supply issue. Double check the connections to the mother board from the powersupply. Hope it helps.

Have you tried unplugging the system and pulling the CMOS battery?

Hello,

The / in front of the path and filename is based on your DocumentRoot for the site in question. I would check the httpd.conf for the reference and see where it points.

#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

Sorry I missed the $path requirement. But this would meet that:

#!bin/bash
# test for filename provided on command line or exit
if [ -z "$1" ]; then 
     echo usage: $0 filename
     exit
fi
#run a for loop using the $PATH variable and replace the : with space
for x in `echo $PATH | sed s/:/\ /g `
do
     find $x -name $1 -exec echo "file exits in " {} \;
done

Are all of the servers in the same subnet and local to each other? If you have phpmyadmin then lyou should be able to look at the users table and see what users have privledges to what tables. double check your settings and do a tracert just to make sure you are following the path between servers y0ou think you are.

Personally I think find would work better.

#!bin/bash
find . -name $1 -exec echo "file exits in " {} \;

the back ticks (`) imply run the command inside and put the results here and the $ implies the next thing is a variable.

You need to add a user to mysql for outside access and give it privledges to access the database jqcalendar. I would suggest using a different user than root and only giving access to the database you need to update. In your case I suggest the user name should be something like:
jqcaldb@192.168.0.100

But it can be any name you want as long as the ipaddress you are coming from is included.

To change the virtual memory file size use the following:

1. Right Click My Computer and select Properties from the list.
2. Click the tab at the top labeled Advanced and the dialog box will change to show three groups.
3. Click the settings button under performance
4. Select the tab at the top labeled Advanced and you should see a group called Virtual Memeorn at the bottom of the dialog box
5. Click Change and a new window will open with options for the location and size of the paging file.
6. The size of your virtual memory shuld be at least 1024MB no matter how much memory you have and no more than 3072MB as a max. This is my personal opinion and not a microsoft or standard setting.
7. Change the setting and select ok to each of the dialog boxes as you go out. then reboot.

May I also suggest that you verify your name servers are working correctly from the command prompt. I would be interested to see what nameserver you are accessing. Also on your router what nameserver is it contacting to resolve addresses?

checking nameserver from command prompt:

nslookup google.com
or
nslookup google.com 4.2.2.2

will check with the public nameserver at 4.2.2.2 and send you back the results.

cisco/linksys makes an inexpensive firewall/router/vpn box that is fairly easy to setup (has a wizzard that talks you through it) but does need a fixed IP address for each location.

mysqldump is the command you are looking for.

with it you can create exports in various formats. The standard format gives you a text file with the needed sql statements to recreate the databases from scratch on another system.

Have you tried running booting from a live cd or UBCD and running fsck on the root partition?

Permissions, Permissions, Permissions....
When the code is running from the Apache server the folder that you are trying to create the new directory in has to be writeable by the apache user or group. Make the group owner Apache (or your apache user group name) and chmod the directory to 775 so that it is writeable by members of the apache group.

The problem is most likely that the fdisk version you are using does not know how to make changes to the current partition on the hard drive. Download a partition editing utility from the web and delete the current partition manually then try the installation again.
