Name servers
ns1.otherdomain.com (Points to: my public ip)

I assume this is the IP address of the server running bind.

How about a few sanity checks.
1. curl http://www.icanhazip.com and verify that you are using the correct external IP.
2. install chromium-browser. SSH -X to the server and run chromium borwser. www.canyouseeme.org will check ports on your IP. YOu can check port 53 to ensure it is opened properly.

Try http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/

@Jim.... I can't beleive it's been that long since I've used it. Good to know.

'cd \progra~1' works as well. You can also type cd \progra then hit the TAB key to autofill the rest.

Simply that the "IP-MIB" module is not present on the system. Try running the same command without specifying a MIB. You should at least get the OIDs spit back at you.

MEdiacoder is one I've used with success in the past. http://www.mediacoderhq.com/

If the disk check programs are taking that long then a portion of the disk is bad and the saftware is attempting to correct/read/skip over the bad areas. Not good if the files you needed were on that piece of disk.

If you are trying this on your own, I would suggest any file recovery solution with a trial. GetDataBack is one I have used in the past with great success. Most will offer a trial showing what 'could' be recovered if you bought the software. Good way of knowing if your files are recoverable at all.

IF you are a novice, then you might want to consider a professional data recovery shop.

1) Hard Drives crash for many reasons.... It's a fact of computer life and can't be avoided. It is nothing that your did in particuliar that made it crash.

2) There are professional data recopvery companies that can recover data. But it is expensive so the data has to be valuable to justify the cost. I have used a handful of these in the past with good recovery rates.

3) If you want to try and recover your files yourself, understand that there is the risk of overwriting the original disk and decreasing the chances of recovery if you don't know what you are doing..... But we can guide you the best we can if you want to go that route. Recuva is a good start. Spinrite is another good candidate to check the disk.

QOS is the way to go here. It depends on the router you use and whether or not it is a supported feature.

With QOS, you can specify that all HTTP traffic is low priority while other types of traffic (like VOIP) would get higher priority.

I had the same type of issue. Kali runs on 3.7. I run kali in Virtual Box but the repositories lack a headers package. Without that, I can't install the VBox tools. I thought about recompiling the kernel, but the repos also lack any kernel-package. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could jump in on this.

I'm kind of curious myself. What was the issue and resolution?

Yes. You can install via bootcamp... Here's how:

Perhaps your camera application is trying to open another set of secondary ports. Just a guess. If you can wireshark the connection internally or find reference to it in the manual, that might help.

On the router, does it log dropped packets somewhere?

Hold Down the Fn Button during startup to access the dell diagnostics. See if they run.

We could start with some information:

Run 'ipconfig /all' from each windows host.
Run ifconfig from the MAC.
From the Win machines, are you using ICS (internet connection sharing)

Something is acting as your perimeter device. Theis perimeter device will show the static IP on the WAN interface.

Getting your cameras viewable to the public simply involves forwarding the port used for remote viewing 'through' the permiter device using port forwarding or pinholing (whichever your device supports).

What port does your camera system use?
What device is on your perimeter?

Well, if you suspect a patch or other change, you can always revert back to a system restore point at some time prior to when this began.

As a side node. I am typing this from Win7 using Firefox... my Alt+S doesn't "Submit" either. Alt+S opens my History Menu item.

2 things.

1) Did you allow windows update to upgrade any hardware drivers? I usually tell people not to use the win drivers. Instead, it is better to go with drivers from the manufacturers.

2) Have you updated or removed any hardware drivers recently?

Some things you can safely try.
1) Go to your PC or motherboard manufacturer and get the latest drivers. Rerun the installs and see what happens.

2) Boot into safe mode. Run Device manager. Delete the USB ports from the driver list. Now reboot into normal mode, the PC should autodetect the hardware and prompt you for drivers. Either provide the location of the manufacturer drivers or rerun the manufacturer setup.

See if that helps.

Alt+S may have been reassigned to another function and this might also depend on the browser you are using. The Alt+letter combo will be reflected in the menu bar by a Underlined Letter. So in Firefox, Alt+F opens the File menu. It is possible that the Alt+S combo has now been assigned to another process in win8.

Required joke:

My Windows 8 installed some Windows Updates
There's your problem right there.... you are running Win 8.

Rubberman is correct in that your FQDN may not be a .com. Looks like you have a co.za as the root.

then the next thing that pops into my head are any updates. Any recent driver updates, MS updates, directX updates, etc? Do you have a system restore point from a time when the rig was running well?

You may be asking too much from Outlook....

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) does use the format of server.domain.com.

Whatever you enter here should have a cooresponding A record in your DNS nameserver's zone.

My gut tells me your Power supply may be having issues in not providing enough juice to the system. You might test the rig with another Power supply.

The Proc may be overheating and throttling down due to high temp. ARe all the fans working in the system with clean air flow?

Keyboards, like any machine, can break and wear out over time.

Find the same model laptop on ebay or 2nd hand, or just buy a replacement keyboard. If you buy a model from ebay, even a non-booting one will do since you just want the keyboard anyway as a spare part.

Follow this guide to switch the KBD:

Sounds like a homework question.

My #1, always has been and always will be, is having backups of your data with historicals. Nothing is more important. Even Security Comes in at #2 compared to that.

DO you want certain attachments blocked, or do you want the user to save them then open them.

If you remove the GPO and/or the Reg key it created, does the pop up go away?

In Android, the hosts file is located at /etc/hosts

TCPIP suite of protocols is built using the OSI model. Your question makes no sense.

This sounds like homework....

Well your hosts file should be good after that.... did you check your DNS A record?

and also that there is a correct 'A' entry for the domain in the zone file.

Similiar to linux, an Andoid will mount a filesystem to / (and others) to access the files within. C:\ is a DOS/Windows invention. So to etc/hosts will usually be found at /etc/hosts.

Depends on the game and type of file. In addition, external HD are limited by the speed of the USB (if that's what you are using to connect). eSata, USB 3.0, or Thunderbolt offer faster speeds and are a better choice over usb/usb2.0.

The OSI model is used everywhere network communication takes place.... NEtwork communication doesn't happen without adherence to those standards.

In line 9, you have a 'hostnamehere' name. Make sure that name is also added to line 3 for 127.0.0.1.

Almost all news providers offer a free 10 day trial. You can sign up for any of them, then quit before the 10 days are up.

Could you post your /etc/hosts here (just xx out a piece of the IP).

IF the win7 host can ping the ubuntu host and vice versa, then you can use WINSCP on the windows side to get files or just use a CIFS mount from the ubuntu side to get to a windows share.

Solution is easy. You need to run a server with Postfix. Setup postfix to accept SMTP traffic and relay all traffic outbound to your ISP using the SSL that you should be using.

I have this setup at my home. My DVR only sends SMTP on port 25. So I have it send all alerts to a local server running POSTFIX which then turns around and relays the message out to my ISP on the encrypted port. Works like a charm.

Screen shots would help...

Also several command line outputs from
IPCONFIG /ALL
PING 8.8.8.8
PING www.yahoo.com
TRACEROUTE 8.8.8.8

The external HD would normally auto-mount in /media/ but you can mount it anywhere really. Assuming it automounted properly,

cp -r /media/PROD_BKUP25JULY2013/* /proddb/

You have to be more specific. There are many ways to track internet access from the host or from a network level....

If that's all you did, then you can just cp the files and directories right back into the machine... Nothing to it. Just build a new machine if needed, install the same packages and applications, then copy in the files from your exterenal disk. Chown or chmod the copied in files if needed.

Again, this depends on how you created the backup. Is this a sqldump? A Tar'd directory? An Rsync? Something else?

no-ip.org is a dynamic dns provider offering free service. I use it with success. You just have to type in a code every month when they send you a reminder email.

How about a reverse proxy or a Load Balancer on ther front end with your Web server on the back end. ICMPs are easily dropped at the proxy or LB while all web traffic is simply passed internally. Thus reducing load on the Web Server

Work was throwing away the HP tablets when webos was dropped. I grabbed one from the trash, loaded Cyanogen on it, and use it to read comics online. It really serves no other purpose.

Smartphones have their place... Having a data-enabled smart phone with Juice-SSH client on it and an RDP client on it has saved me in a pinch on more than one occasion.
