In backtrack (or any linux distro), a directory with a . as first character is hidden. You can list all files, including hidden files, with **ls -la**

If you look in your device manager, do you see any devices with a yellow symbol, any device saying unknown hardware, or any devices under audio devices? Trying to establish if you have a sound device installed. Also, the dell's have a tag# on the device. You can hit the …

20 years of IT exp behind me. And even though the tech may change, the base job stays the same. It's a thankless job. Most of the time, the only communication you get from the employees are complaints. So you must have this customer service mindset that the end users …

Another thought, most modern Bios will provide a "Press F12 for bootup menu" or somehting similar which provides the option to select the boot device manually. It also gives you a nice listing of bootable devices. If it does, do you see your drive there?

Cloud networking can mean many different things: 1)the use of a cluster of servers for virtual machines (like VMware, KVM, Xen) 2)The use of a 3rd party server for file storage (iCloud, Dropbox) 3)The use of external database servers (or servers for any purpose for that matter) (Amazon EC2) 4)The …

cat /etc/hosts You should see the lines similiar to: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 servername.domain.local Do you have this?

Most ethernet attached HP printers are SNMP enabled. So even if the onboard mgmt software is lacking, potentially you could watch these items via NAgios and have a Nagios-Alert sent to your email when toner level runs low.

A common mistake I see is that the Power supply power control lead to the motherboard isn't seated on the right pins, or +/- are reversed. Remove the reset control lead to the MB as well. No need for it at this point. Do what JorgeM said and remove all …

You need a mail parser. And there are many to choose from based on your Distro or language of choice. A qoogle search for 'email parser' + your distro will get you a list of results. STart with that. I've seen windows based parsers also, but they are seldom opensource.

Right, I was thinking 'permissions'. But rch1231 is correct. It's more likely the environment variables. If you could post the cron entry and any important errors in the logs, that would be a big help.

Unless I'm missing something.... It doesn't matter what tool you are using, ultimately, you are still trying to establish a secure ldap session using the fqdn on the cert. A few things to remember, you need to trust the root CA (your CA Server). If your php solution doesn't take …

Believe it or not, a lot of the push back comes from management, not the real I T people. Many times its the open source tag and no cost that is the issue. It just 'looks' better when you budget for 500k worth of stuff and people for a project. …

Most online games use very little bandwidth. 2mbps is more than enough to play any online game. The real factor is the latency between you and the other players. High Latency equates to lag which can really hurt online competitiveness. Any online speedtest should give you a good indication of …

Like JorgeM said, try opera or firefox and see if you get the same result. Can you telnet to an internet host on port 80? Does that connection get through? If it does, that rules out network stuff and you can concentrate on the PC/browser/OS. Is your perimeter router set …

Each manufacturer would have their own method for assigning IPs. Usually, you create a VLAN interface and assign the IP to the VLAN. You'd need to provide a lot more info, especially, what kind of switches you are using. Along with that, you need to show us what you've tried.

What is the error code on the BSOD? Does it happen consistently? If yes, at what point? Startup, running an app, playing sound? Were there any recent changes done just before BSODs started? NEw hardware, Updates, new app? IF yes, revert that 1 change and retest. Can you get into …

If it's a gaming center, most LAN games are designed to run on very little bandwidth to support internet play. Any modern center should have at least gig to the desktop. Alot depends on the specifics. Will you host servers, multiple types of games, will you provide internet access to …

1st post an all.... here's what we need. Tell us what you need help with. A description or summary. i.e. I have 2 computers running windows 7 and I need to share files. Give us some details on the equipment or software. Versions are always good. HAve an error? post …

Once you introduce layer 3 routing between R1 and R2, your VLANs are done. In S1-VLAN10 and S2-Vlan10, I assume both are using the same subnet. IF so, any communication between PCs on the same subnet will happen over ARP then direct communication. No traffic destined for the same subnet …

Robocopy is just 1 tool in the toolbox. It's great to keep a mirrored/secondary copy of data, but no good way to do historicals.... And the correct Net use syntax is NET USE Z: \\Servername\sharename /USER:username

I agree. Backtrack can be run from a USB drive if needed. I have a usb stick I use for pen testing only when needed. Boot up with it, all settings are still saved, and I'm good to go. Backtrack has a pretty small footprint, you could always just dual …

Using "Disallow: /foo/" would block the foo directory and everything in it. Technically, without the trailing slash, Disallow blocks the 1 item, such as a single file. I would *assume* this would indicate a disallow on a single file named foo not the directory /foo/. You can also use "Disallow: …

Yeah, that's like asking, "Tell me about Laptops"... What info are you looking to get?

IP routers are typically layer 3 devices, but certain models can route based on higher levels of the protocol stack.....

I doubt he means actually writing code on a tablet. That would be crazy. He might mean a tablet that allows for testing of the code he wrote. At least I hope that's what he means. So what market are you after? I assume you are looking for an android …

Get Virtual Box. Install it. Get an ISO of a linux distro of your choice (i.e. linux mint, ubuntu server) Create a new virtual machine within virtual box, mount the ISO to the virtual machine (in settings), and boot the virtual machine. Write away.

Sounds like you need a consultant..... Here's my 2 cents if you are planning on doing this yourself. 1. Isolate the workstation traffic away from the render farm traffic. Do this by physical separation and/or vlan separation. 2. Create separate subnets for both the Server farm and Workstations. (192.168.10.0/24 and …

What are the IP addresses of each machine? Can 1 ping 2/3? Can 2/3 ping 1? After a ping attempt on 2/3, check arp table. Do you see the MAC for 1's wifi adapter? If you plug 1 in via wired, can you connect? What model wifi/router are you using? …

Also, if you don't know the package name, then use the following **apt-cache search [search term]**

Does the drive tray use a single sata connection or does it have a sata lead per drive slot? IF it's a single lead, there would be some on board logic to show multiple drives through the simgle conenction, but it would still be 1 device you are ejecting, affecting …

IIRC, A Workgroup'ed PC or host can only share resources to 10 computers at once. That's the limitation. If you have 30 - 40 units, then setting up a Windows domain is a good idea. Along with all the reasons JorgeM gave, there are other benefits to a Domain model. …

I guess 1st question is, did you isolate the graphic card as the source of the issue? Can you replace it with your original card and see if the lockups continue?

Because for most end users with a single switch, they want all to forward I would say. If you are at the point where you need to interconnect switches by multiple ports, you know what STP is for and why you should use it.

In sharepoint, when you create a new 'Site' you should have a dozen or so templates to pick from. Easiest thing to do is to use one of these like the 'group collaboration' template. Any user with 'Owner' or 'Member' rights can upload documents to the 'Document Library' for that …

I don't understand your question. What do you mean by an introductory page?

It depends on the model of our perimeter router. Most recent models support inbond port forwarding. So what do you have?

No business will usually let you use their resources for free. You can find cloud server with shell access for maybe $10 to $15 a month from some sites.

To run a virtual host on your machine, you need the software. Start by downloading 'Virtual Box'. It's free software and works very well. I use it every day. In VirtBox, you can create a new virtual machine using the wizard. Setup the memory, hard drive size, etc. You'll need …

Sounds like your keyboard has the standard number keybad on top of the qwerty keyboard. There's probably a 'numlock' light lit as well. Just turn off numlock and you'll be ok. Your kbd might have an 'Fn' key that is used in combination with another key to enable/disable the numlock.

Also. Is every host on the internet showing the same issue or is it just your 1 hosted server. Can you define 'erratic'? Maybe post a ping sample showing what you mean. Can you ping the 1st hop outbound (your ISP's gateway) and do you see the same issues?

Sounds like your system does not have an internet connections or is missing dns entries. Start with an 'ifconfig' and post the results. Verify that tcpip on the adapter is setup correctly and you have the correct values. Can you ping your gateway? Can you ping 'www.google.com' and get a …

Try 'Safe Mode with Networking' this should load up a very clean windows yet have connectivity. If this works, then something got loaded on your machine that is interfering. You could use MSCONFIG to turn off all startup items, then turn 1 on, reboot, test, turn on the 2nd, reboot, …

How can the fields not be there but the data is still present? That makes zero sense to me. If the fields in a table aren't setup correctly you need to run an Alter Table command (or whatever for yoru particuliar DB) and add/edit the fields. Then run your data …

Running Vista <- There's the 1st problem. on a Sony Vaio <- There's the 2nd. Ok I kid. QTCF almost sounds like QuickTime something-or-other. All Vaios come shipped with so much crap installed it's a wonder they boot up at all. It's probably something that it shipped with. If you …

What settings are you using when defining the Guest VM. What HD type, size, location, memory, proc, network, etc. What version of VMWare? IF you load a 2008 iso and specify the vm to boot cd first, does it boot and can you run a repair?

Logitech has unifying software that lets device become associated to USB dongles. So if you have about $40, buy 2 logitach mice with the unifying usb dongle. Run the unifying software, and associate the same mouse to 2 different usb dongles. Plug one dongle into each pc and you should …

It's always beneficial to have the product in front of you while you are learning. It is for me anyway. MS has 2008 server available for download with a trail license. You should load this up on a machine or a VM and use it while learning.

So the obvious question is, is a cable plugged into the machine? What port is the cable conencted into? eth0? what does ifconfig show?

With sharepoint, all pages are protected via AUTH. http://servername would take you to the 'Home' site. In the Home site, if you create a new site called 'Sales', then you would use http://servername/Sales Within each site are Site permissions. When you created the site, you can opt to either inherit …

Check your logs. Most likely is a typo or a configuration error in your conf files. I don't know what distro you are on, but check: /var/log/syslog /var/log/apache2/error.log Tail those logs while starting up the service and that should give you a clue.
