Does [chrome] appear above or below the TCP 80 LISTENTING? In the output, the service appears after the listening port.

You should block your public IPs when posting (better safe than sorry).

With that, we are now certain it is not the router, network, or other host.

So now we concentrate on your web server. Like I said, there is something else listening on port 80.

This is a windows box so from command line run 'netstat -anb' . Look for LISTENING on x.x.x.x:80. Underneath the entry, you will see the service that has bound the port.

What do you get?

we would need a lot more information to troubleshoot anything like that.

Lync functionality really has nothing to do with being able to ping a colleague.

WTH is windows 7 server edition? Never heard of it.

How about this.... lets eliminate everything having to do with either the host or the network.

Shut down the host.

Try to hit the web page from outside your network.

What do you get?

If you see a reply, then its the router answering or another host answering. (check for router services or dupe IPs on the internal network).

If you don't get a reply, then there is a service on the host that is answering using apache and you have port contention.

FYI, you can get these off tech net if needed.

Also, FYI, 2003 support is ending on July of 2015. You should really consider moving to a newer OS if you are rebuilding any systems.

Seriously, this is a job for a local consultant. There is a LOT more to it than what can be explained here in just a few paragraphs.

SSID is not the name of the router. SSID is the name if the Wireless network that is usually broadcasted out for client to find and attach.

From the router/ap side, the SSID is found in the WIFI config for 2.4 and 5g setups.
From the client side, almost all systems will display a list of any wifi APs that are broadcasting the SSID.

IN linux, KVM, XEN, and ProxMox are good solutions. We've used Proxmox for years here and it has really matured. There are still issues, especially if the host or shared storage crash... it can lead to corrupt drives. However, a daily snapshot helps alleviate any failures.

The real issue with VMWare is the price. IMHO if you want high uptime with a tech support team to back you up for mission critical VMs, then look at vmware. If you need test labs, local hosts, or other hosts that you can live without for an hour or 2 during 'issues', then PRoxmox may help you.

What I"m getting at is, either apache is running on that host (unbeknownst to you) and fighting for control over port 80 or internal networking is messed up and you are sending traffic to another host running 80.

LEt me know what you find.

Other items off top of my head.

• check that the port forward is hitting the correct internal IP for this host.

• Can the ports can be hit from inside the network from another PC? (eliminated router if no)

• From the host in question, netstat -ab will display listening ports and the process that owns it. Make sure you don't have 2 processes fighting over same ports.

• Load wireshark on the win host. As you try to access from the outside and get the apache response, does wireshark record packets to that host? If yes, then my guess about 2 competing processes looks pretty good.

Also, ARe you sure the HD isn't detected or are you just not seeing a partition/drive letter?

What does the Disk manager tell you?

There are dozens.

I use one called simply 'Unit Converter'. No ads, free, works well.

Sanity check.

From your Windows PC with the open ports, use the online tool http://canyouseeme.org This will give you your current public IP, plus it will allow you to test for open ports on that IP. Nifty tool to check for open ports.

Apple ios will always be more stable. The simple reason is that they only need to code the OS for their own proprietary hardware.

Windows tries to support a multiverse of different CPU/MB/Peripheral/HDs/NIC/etc along with all the 3rd party driver/add ins/etc.

They are 2 very different types of tools.

Apple may be more user friendly, especially for the novices. Windows has flexibility and an installed business base behind it.

It depends on the model of macbook. If your MBP uses a 2.5 inch SATA drive, then you can replace it with almost any other 2.5 inch sata. Load up your OS on a usb and install the os.

If your mbp uses a SSD board for HD, then you might be out of luck. The boards come in different sizes depenmding on the year of manufacture (i.e 6 or 12 pin). If you have an ssd board, better just take it to the apple store and let them give you the options

Have all the PCs sync time with a single DC. All domain members should already to this. Standalones should be told where to get their time.

Get the DC to sync time via NTP using something like the following:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:0.uk.pool.ntp.org,1.uk.pool.ntp.org /update /reliable:yes

No sweat... glad its working for you.

Well, in MSCONFIG, there are startup items and services. Start with services. Begin by turning on a set of services, reboot, and test. If the PC is ok, go back to msconfig, turn on a few more services, reboot, and test. Rinse and repeat. If there is a service that is causing the issue, that will help you find it. IT is tedious, no doubt, but it will help find the problem.

You can also check your startup items and disable anything you don't need.

The fact that the PC is fine in diag mode definately points to a certain application causing your headache.

Nothing in the hijack this log jumps out at me (other than all the garbage for ie). The one thing is the Trend Micro Suite... If this is AV with malware, then this + Avast might be the culprit.

boot into safe mode (f8 on startup)
run msconfig from START - RUN
Select Diagnostic startup
Reboot

Hows the performance now? If this is acceptable, then you can start turning on services little by little..... this is a lot of trial and error tying to hunt down an errand process, but it should help.

Or... some simple things to look for....
1) are there multiple AV or malware apps running?
2) are you loading multiple remote drives?
3) do you have a restore point you can revert to before the slowdown started.

I don't understand your question.

Ya - we would need a lot more detail.

Right off the bat, you need to check whether the hardware is on the Hardware compatibility list for ESXi.
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

If it's not on the list, I would say don't even bother trying to fix it. Even if you do get ti working, there is no guarantee on stability.

As an alternative, you could always get the Xen server for citrix. Free for a single host.

Well for starters, what system are you using?

You need to provide a lot more info.

What's the current conenction using?
What are the speeds?
What content is he trying to access?
What do you consider acceptable speeds?

1st thing i would do is disconnect all internal lan devices. Plug a single system directly into your DSL drop (or into your DSL modem... not sure what type you have).

You should have 1 machine online. There's a linux tool called 'mtr' that will trace along a path and point out drops and delays along the path. If you have a mac, I would imagine there is a similiar util on there.

Point is, you should 1st eliminate all internal systems from the mix and run your tests to see if you can replicate the packet loss.

You can't change your home subnet to match your office without new code to nat one or both sides before the crypto map evaluates the traffic.

From the customer side with a 192.168.20.0 subnet, you can't add a crypto for 192.168.0.0, that would cause problems.

What you could do is change your home network to a 192.168.11.0/24 leaving the office network at 192.168.10.0/24. From the client side, change the crypto map from 192.168.10.0/24 to 192.168.10.0/23 which would encrypt and tunnel both networks.

Your office vpn would need to change your home ACL from 192.168.5.0 to 192.168.11.0/24

Your Home vpn would need to encrypt traffic for 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.20.0/24

This is not the only way of doing it, but it is clean, easy to troubleshoot, involves no pre encryption NAT (yuch anyway), and is the smallest config change on the client side that I can think of.

It would not work like this.

First, if your customer won't allow it, should you really be doing this???

Use a jump host in your office. From any PC you can use something as simple a teamviewer to access a pc in your office which would then have access over VPN to your customer.

Or use a jump host. SSH to a host in your office, then ssh to the hosts at your customer site.

For the RAW RF, a simple $10 dongle and some opensource software get's you a RTL-SDR setup to monitor a wide range of frequencies up to 6-8 gig depending on your antennae.

If you only want to capture data traffic on a Wifi network, then do what rubberman said.

I liked the part where applepay can now collect info and index your transactions against your apple ID to know even more about you.

Typical hub and spoke VPN model.

Your office is the hub with the 2 b2b VPN tunnels terminated to it.

The trick to getting your home office to speak with the customer office is to have the customer's subnets included in your home office crypto maps for encapsulation. And vice versa, your customer's site must have your home office's subnet in it's tunnel spec so that packets from the customer site are encrypted over the b2b tunnel as well.

There is no routing involved here and the whole system would work based on the crypto map matches at each location's perimeter endpoints.

I've done these types of setups alot. It's not complicated until you run into issues with duplicate subnets at remote sites. If your home office, office, and customer office all use unique subnetting schemes, it's a snap. Otherwise you need to worry about natting the traffic before crypto map encapsulation.

Not sure what issue you are seeing... In 2008 and 2013 servers, I can use the FILTER option off the context or main menu and enter any text, including text in the description. I do this all the time to find user failed logon attempts... I just enter the user ID that I would find in the description.

Is that not what you want?

Do you mean QuickScan? I would run the Full scan and let it go... it can take a few hours.

Just to add a few sanity checks:
Is the file named helloworld or HelloWorld? Case matters.
Can you run the file as /home/root/helloworld?

My other thoughts match rubberman's comments, check ownwership and rights.

That's an odd location for a DLL to run at startup. You probably had a virus/malware issue and this is the remnants of it.

Probably best to run Malwarebytes and to check your starup items as well.

What IP comes back when you ping www.google.com? Does it match the IPs from an NSlookup of www.google.com?

Can you telnet to port 80 at www.google.com or even one of the returned addresses?
Can you http directly to one of the google addresses?

Have you tried another browser from vista? Same result?

WPA2 PSK is a preshared key that both parties agree to in order to establish a conenction.

WPA2 ENT can use certificates to establish a conenction as well provided that the router is setup correctly and the client can provide the user cert.

3d animation, flash, traditional?

Start with open source app called pencil. Great for onion skin style of traditonal hand drawn animation styles.

Installing linux will give you the option of replacing the OS on the machine. Essentially, the files are not accessible from the OS anymore. However, the without a secure wipe, there may be file remnants on the PC that can be recovered.

For the security minded (or the paranoid like me), you can use a tool like Boot n Nuke to completely erase a hard drive. http://www.dban.org/download (A single pass is enough for 99% of the people out there, DoD uses a 7 pass)

After the erase is complete, then you can install a Linux distro on it (i.e. Ubuntu, mint, etc) and be confident that none of your stuff will ever be recovered.

So basically, if you don't really care, just load linux and replace the OS.
If you are paranoid, Nuke the drive using the level you want, then install linux.

Create a file called ~/.vimrc and add:
:set autoindent

Simply sounds like the 2 devices and the accomanying software use lots of CPU cycles. Nothing more.

The Core 2 Duo is rated up to 100c at which point the mac may power down. So being in the 80c range is fine when running CPU intensive stuff.

Nothing to worry about here.

In VM space, a RAW iSCSI mapping has it's pro's and con's.

With RAW mappings, VM based snapshots are not usually possible. So if you plan on RAW mappings, make sure your SAN is making regular snaps/backups of the partition.

Usualy, using the VHD format i.e. VMDK is 'good enough' for 95% of the use cases our there. IMHO.

Just to add my 2 cents, I use Universal USB Installer to get Distros to USB.

To add... there is no hard,fast rule of thumb when it comes to creating the Virtual Disks. Even MS own best practices worksheets instruct you to test in a lab and try different scenarios under a test load to see which works best for you.

On the practical side for servers, you would generally want a dedicated Disk for OS and a separate disk for user files/shares. Keep the OS safe from 'disk full' errors by not letting users save files into C.

Number of shares depends on the use. For user's home directories, I create a HOME share open to all domain users. Then I use NTFS to protect user folders like \server\home\johndoe and \server\home\janedeer. You can easily use AD tools to map a user to home or use a logon script for \server\home\%USERNAME% for example.

Speaking of this... what is a good site to Download Truecrypt if one did not already have it saved?

There are USB adapters for MAC that will support that resolution. If those monitors support displayport, then try this one: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-External-Adapter-USB32DPPRO/dp/B008CXFM64

If you want your 1 pc to be highest priority over everything else.

Enter Your PC's MAC address or if it has a static IP, you can use that too.

In the lower section set Precedence remarking to 5 (don't use 6 or 7 here) and set the Queue to high.

Yep - There it is: sudo chmod -R 777 /usr
That command added 777 rights to everything under /usr.

At the very least, you should do:
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so

Did you run some kind of CHMOD -R command on that path? / or /usr or /usr/lib ?

Can you check your history?
history | grep chmod
