http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/VT2400/downloads/VT2442_User_Manual_US_UK.pdf on page 40 it describes turning on/off the remote web feature. You'll want this disabled.

Remote access and remote management are 2 different things. Make sure you are looking in the right spot.

If you send me the model and version of the router, I should be able to do a quick lookup in the manual for you.

Check your DNS settings. What are you using?
START - RUN - CMD - type IPCONFIG /ALL and see

Check if you get any resolution at all.
START - RUN - NSLOOKUP - enter a site i.e. www.google.com and it should spit back the ip address for the site. If it doesn't then there is some issue there.

In your browser, check to see if you accidentally set it to use a Proxy in TOOLS - OPTIONS - CONNECTIONS - LAN SETTINGS.

Call ATT and give them you IMEI number. At the very least they can add the IMEI to a blacklist so that the phone can't be used on their network. This doesn't prevent it from being jailbroken and used elsewhere, but i doubt a petty thief would know how to do that.

ATT usually will not provide you the phone's location without police involvement which probably won't happen since a $300 phone would not justify the thousands in time it would take to pursue.

IF you didn't have one of those location aware services for finding a lost phone, you are probably out of luck. Sorry about the loss.

If the router is answering on port 80, then you most likely have enabled management from the wan. Its on option in most consumer routers. You can either turn it off or change the listening port to something other than port 80 (so the router listens on port 8080 and port 80 is forwarded into the LAN's host.

This should probably be posted in the software dev areas, not the server hardware areas. But with multiple users accessing the same app, it becomes necessary to use various techniques to manage various database reads and writes using some sort of file/record/field lock, handling multiple requests, inevitably there will be security requirements.

I haven't coded for about 15 years so I'm a little rusty.

One obvious question, can this laptop ping any other network device?

Are there any other firewall/security suitess installed (i.e. symantec, mcafee, avast)?

Is tcpip the only protocol installed? Are you perhaps accessing resources using something else? (ips/spx)

Did you try forwarding the port to another PC or another service on your existing unit?

Nothing special in tomcat that I know of.... If you can connct locally 127.0.0.1 then its not the software's config but somthing in the tcpip stack. that is blocking the traffic.

If you have another PC, download the installer for MalwareBytes

Boot the PC into safe mode, START - run - MSCONFIG and choose selective startup and uncheck the startup items. Reboot normal and you should be able to load malware bytes and update and run a scan.

You can also run a scan of malware bytes in safe mode if needed.

Consider this solved?

No need to remove the battery, you just need to set the cmos reset jumper on the mainboard. Boot up... Then reset it back for normal operations.

If you are not the admin, then the answer is probably no. This depends alot on the setup of the mail solution though.

The only 100% way to not have them read it is end to end encryption using email certs or an encrypted attachment.

Most often, yes they can. Unless you are doing some sort of Smime or other type of encryption on the mail body.

All emails servers will hold the mail until a client connects to it and pulls the mail or otherwise reads the mail list.

If you don't want to receive mail, just don't let you client connect to the mail server....?? Not really sure what you are trying to accomplish....

If you think its the VPN, then uninstall it and retest.

But some simple things to check:
In your browser, check to see if you use a proxy. Did you use one before? Remove or add in as needed.

Is your Email on a internet server or in a corporate environment?

Can you resolve external DNS names? PING www.google.com and you should see it resolve to an ip.

Have you tried another browser?

Here's the easy list.

Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
[-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
[-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
-t Ping the specified host until stopped.
To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
To stop - type Control-C.
-a Resolve addresses to hostnames.
-n count Number of echo requests to send.
-l size Send buffer size.
-f Set Don't Fragment flag in packet (IPv4-only).
-i TTL Time To Live.
-v TOS Type Of Service (IPv4-only. This setting has been deprecated
and has no effect on the type of service field in the IP Head
er).
-r count Record route for count hops (IPv4-only).
-s count Timestamp for count hops (IPv4-only).
-j host-list Loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
-k host-list Strict source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
-w timeout Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
-R Use routing header to test reverse route also (IPv6-only).
-S srcaddr Source address to use.
-4 Force using IPv4.
-6 Force using IPv6.

Make sure that on the router you have the latest code.

Try forwarding the port to any other PC and turn on the microsoft built in IIS for tcp/80 to check.

What model router is it?

If canyouseeme says the port is open, then something is answering it. I assume you have triple checked that the port forward is going to your machine's ip and that your machine has a static ip or dhcp reserved ip.

Since the port is answering, then I think its safe to assume that there are no firewall issues.

IS this some kind of web app? Do you get a standard 1.1 error code back i.e. 404 or 500? If so, what error.

To remove all doubt, you can also use a packet capture to determine if the requests are hitting your pc. Run a Wireshark Trace on your pc when the request is made. You should see the incoming traffic to that port.

So if ubuntu live disk can mount and read the file contents when somehow windows can't... buy your replacement HD and another USB to IDE/SATA adapter, mount the 2nd drive and start a mass copy from the original to the new disk.

If you have windows on the internal HD and your photos on the defective external HD, then I don't see why you want to create a partition anywhere.

AFAIK, there is no way to get 53 subnets from one subnet mask.

Here's the cisco reference: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093f33.shtml

You'll need to download and create the floppy disk with the correct drivers for your raid controller.

When installing XP, you'll see it prompt for "F6 to load other drivers"... something like that anyway, I don't remember the exact words. Hit F6 and the setup will keep going. It will stop eventually and ask you to load 3rd party drivers. With the floppy disk in the floppy drive, you should be able to select the driver from the disk for the RAID controller, then continue on with the setup.

Contact Dell tech support if you have any trouble. They can also point you to the correct driver for your controller.

So - You good with that or need more help?

Yes - that's good too... :)

The Dell's Reinstall windows disk is the one you want to start with.

Boot with that disk and follow the prompts. *** Be Aware *** This will completely erase your system and all data that is on it .

The other disks you use after the OS is installed. Dell has separate disks for the driver installs (video and sound etc...). Then the last disk would be a 3rd party application. My dell came with the OS, 2 driver disks, and 1 for Roxio.

Also, You can contact dell tech support, give them the tag # of your machine, and a tech will walk you through the reinstall.

Depending on the product, you may have the interface, but no physical drive. If your drive's motor was damaged to the point where it won't spin, then you're only option is to get a 3rd party to recover the data.

If you are booting and you see the GRUB loader offer you a choice, then at some point, you chose to install ubuntu to the disk. The ubuntu install most likely took a portion of the disk for itself leaving the remainder for windows.

So you have 2 tasks here. #1 Remove the Grub loader and use windows to boot. #2 Remove the ubuntu partition and reassign to windows.

**** Make sure you backup anything important ****
Anytime you go messing with your disk like this, make 100% sure you have copies of whatever data you can't live without.

HAve a look at this site for easy instructions on removing GRUB and reassigning the space: http://www.wikihow.com/Uninstall-the-Grub-Bootloader-from-a-Dual-Boot-XP-System-With-an-XP-CD

I've used paragon partition manager for stuff like this with success many times. ... FYI

I've used drivesavers.com many times with great success. They aren't cheap, but they do recover data even from physically damaged platters.

Found this that might help:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/char.html

IIRC, VARCHAR needs a length defined for the field. So the correct syntax would be:
`EmpName` VARCHAR (10) NOT NULL,

If this works:
ping 216.109.112.135
4 packets sent - 4 received - 0 lost

Then it seems that your connection is good. Check your DNS. DO you get DNS servers from DHCP? If yes, make sure you dont have some static entries in there. compare the dns IP to that of the mac.

On the PC, you can run nslookup and try any domain name (i.e. www.google.com) and see if you get a response. If you don't then its a resolution issue.

If you want to move files on same machine, then use "copy <source> <dest>"

If its a complex copy, or need additional options, look as robocopy from microsoft (get it from the resource kit). Great tool, similiar to rsync.

IF you are transferring via some other solution like Ftp, you can do this over CLI also........where are you sending the files?

Give it the full filepath to the executable.

I don't understand question 1....

For question 2, you need some basic info. Is your network on DHCP? Run an IPCONFIG /ALL and look at the settings. Is the IP there correct? Do you know what the IP should be? IS is set to a static IP or DHCP?

perfect sense. You can mount a windows drive in Ubuntu and use it for storage.... Some settings change depending on the filesystem, but pretty straight forward.

HAve a look at this: http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/how-to-access-your-windows-hard-drive-from-ubuntu/

Correct.... T568-B is the pinouts you should be using.

Each webcam would sit behind your router. The router would need to be setup to pass on the port from the external IP to the internal IP of the webcam.

So if the webcam is assigned a private 192.168.1.10 ip and operates on port TCP/1024, then the router must be setup to port forward 1024 from the external IP to the internal 192.168.1.10 address. That way, if you hit the public ip, all traffic is sent internally to the camera.

If your ISP give you a non-static IP for the internet, you'll need to use a dynamic dns service to register the new ip to a domain name for this to be practical.

I'm not at all saying that the hardrive is the cause, but when troubleshooting, you remove all possibilities. Whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the answer.

If you have a graphics card on the mobo, use it for now.

Boot the machine, and you should get activity. Even if there is no display. If hit reset button, do you see the activity "blip"?

Sounds normal. Some machines will spin up briefly when power is plugged in.

There are several cables that connect to the mainboard for HDD light, Reset, and Power. Make sure the power connecter is still on the board.

I would remove any add-in cards, remove the Hard Drive, remove any peripherals, and reset the CMOS using the jumper on the Mobo.

Is there graphics on the Mobo?

Are the reset jumpers shorted?

With that Model, there is no upgrade available. The R52 is a business class laptop and, thus, the sound is good, but not meant for home theater-style sound. You will get stereo sound out of the headphone jacks. The biggest hit on quality will be the bitrate of the encoded songs unless you are using FLAC.

Most PA systems I've used sound pretty crappy anyway.

If you are really set on an upgrade, look to an external USB sound card. Soundblaster made a X-Fi surround card that did 5.1 with optical out. You can pick one up for about $50.

Depending on the model of the notebook, there may be some configurable options in the notebook to control the action taken when the lid is closed. What model is it?

DNS used FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Think or it as mycomputer.mydomain.com

At home, you probably have a workgroup setup for the 2 machines. Just use that workgroup name here. It really doesn't matter what you use here.

For example:
mypc1.myworkgroup.com 192.168.2.10
mypc2.myworkgroup.com 192.168.2.11

lmhosts and hosts can safely contain the IPs for both machines.

That way, if you ever need to address the other PC, you can use mypc2.myworkgroup.com. Your pc will do a lookup in the hosts file, see that there's an entry that points ,ypc2.myworkgroup.com to 192.168.2.11 and use that IP for communication.

Think of the hosts file as DNS without a DNS server.

Easy... Just assign a different subnet to the wired adapters using a static IP.

Then, create the entry in Hosts and lmhosts for the machines using the wired adapter IP.

So that, on each machine:
Wifi adapter ip via DHCP (i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) with public dns
Wired adapter ip via static (i.e. 192.168.2.0/24)

lmhosts file contains:
pcname1 192.168.2.10
pcname2 192.168.2.11

hosts file contains
pcname1.yourdomain.com 192.168.2.10
pcname2.yourdomain.com 192.168.2.11

That way, your machines will use 192.168.2.x when addressing each other, but still hit the public DNS for everything else.

You would need a tool to monitor the packet counts either at the pc level or at the router level.

Depending on the model of the router, you may already have netflow support built in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflow If it is any of the consumer based low-end routers, then probably not. You would need a router firmware that would support those needs (i.e. DD-WRT or Tomato).

At the PC level, just google "Freeware Bandwidth Monitor" and take your pick.

"how far may I locate a pc from the keyboard, mouse, and display"

kBS/mouse/video destance is not the same as gigabit distance.

Gigabit ethernet is meant to connect multiple PCs to a central router/switch so they can share data. The distances vary depending on what you are running. For Gig speeds, you are limited to 100 meters over Cat6... reference:http://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/maximum-cable-length.asp

If you are asking about max distance for your KBD/mouse/vid, you are going to be limited, especially with the video. Wired KBDs and mice usually come with 6 foot cords and you can extend those another 10 foot without issue. Now the Video, depending on if its VGA, DVI, etc will be different. VGA especially will start to show "ghosty" images on the screen if you extend it too far (12 feet or more).

If all you want to do is block traffic and allow certain outbound ports, then I think any firewall would suffice. The ASA begins to shine when you talk about hosting services, managing VPNs, etc...

If you have no VPN, and no internal hosts to share, then the e3000 should do the job fine IMHO.

Sounds like you are missing that font on the new PC. If you downloaded it from somewhere, you'll need to do the same on this PC. If it was "just there" or you can't find it... then copy the ttf file to the new machine and install it.

The ASA 5505 is a business class firewall that has a lot more flexibility when it comes to configuration. With that flexibility comes a very big learning curve if you've not used an ASA before. Not that it's rocket science, but a beginner will get frustrated with the command line quickly.

The ASA does a lot that the linksys can't do. The ASA can handle deep packet inspection and run fixups for things like DNS, SQLnet, etc to handle the NATing quirks for those protocols. The ASA can run static nats and port forwarding internally to various machines with access list control to really get detailed about what's allowed.

The ASA has support for the IPSEC VPN client and the SSL Anyconnect clients (check your licensing). It can also forward internally to multiple VLANs (again, check licensing). The ASA can route multiple subnets across a single VPN IPSEC tunnel instead of just 1 single subnet spec.

The big CON here is price. The ASA's are expensive if you start adding licensing for sec plus or Anyconnect support. So make sure you know what you are buying.

My 2 cents:
On the splash screen, you should be able to hit ESC or TAB and get the BIOS startup info. Do you get this? The splash screen is usually a "Quiet Boot" enabled or Verbose boot disabled setting in Bios.

Check for the BIOS startup info and that should give you a clue to your next step.

Also, there is usually a CMOS reset jumper on the mainboard. since it's a new setup, you can safely clear CMOS using the jumper. Check your MOBO manual for details.
