If you want a free one use phpBB. Version 3 is about to be released and will be amazing for a free forum. If want the industry "standard" use vBulletin. It's not free but an excellent piece of software.
only thing is, no adware needs you to register before it can get rid of stuff, which means paying, is there any FREE progs that can get rid of this crap? am running spyware dr too and am assuming that needs money too?
Windows Defender........ excellent spyware removals microsoft made. Not like the crap firewall and virus protection. No, this actually works. And it's free! :mrgreen:
hey guys and girls. just wanting some help with a problem on my comp.
whenever i try opening control panel nothing happens. also when i go to install something, again nothing happens.
Both my BitDefender and AVG virus scanners arent working propaerly and so i couldnt scan. Afterwards i scanned using an online scanner and came up with 11 viruses that i were deleted. but still the problem keeps occurring.
i'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. thanks in advance.

Type GPEDIT.MSC from the Run box. Navigate to User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel:Prohibit Access to the Control Panel=enabled
Make sure it's set to disabled.. not sure about the programs
We actually bought a volume license for AVG here where I work. It's almost the exact same as the free version... So either the free version is really good or..............
But you're the first person I've ran into that doesn't like AVG :surprised
so yea.... try that. I'm not sure how common hyperterminal commands are but I'll give you the commands for our switches here and you can try them if you want.... you know how to setup hyperterminal? does it have anywhere telling you what settings to use? Most switches are 9600, 8, none, 1, no.
You will need a domain and should get a web hosting account, too. You can do both at godaddy.com.
Thanks, I'll get in touch with my Youth Pastor and we'll get it going. After I register the domain, where do I install the stuff at? is it over FTP? I used to be a big fan of godaddy but now don't like them... their commercials are trashy.
I'm wanting to setup a forum for our youthgroup... Paying for one isn't a big deal, but I'm not sure how to do anything with websites. Will someone give me a hand? If not it's ok.
Try taking the disks and put them in the suspected drive and a drive on another computer. If neither read you know it's the disk. If one reads it, you've narrowed it to the drive. I agree with trying to reinstall the drive.
Think of a switch as the post office. You send a message and they know exactly where to send it becuase of the address you put on the message. This is alot more effective as opposed to them going door to door knocking and asking until they find the right house (what a hub does).
Just to confirm, you are saying that if you plug your phone directly into the network it doesn't recieve an ip, but if you go through a hub and then into the network it does?
Not too sure it sounds like some sort of loop it could be that you have 2 dhcp servers running but you don't know. You really must check every- thing on your network again, the answer is there you just haven't looked at everything yet.
i found this article might help with one or two of your problems::lol:
On Windows-based networks, DHCP and DNS can work together to simplify the configuration and operation of your network. Normally what happens is a DHCP client register its A (host) record directly with the DNS server, while the PTR (pointer) record is instead registered on behalf of the client by the DHCP server. This means an attack on a DHCP server could compromise control over records registered with your DNS server and be used to redirect traffic to a hostile site or cause denial of service. If you make a DHCP server a member of the DNSUpdateProxy group however, your DHCP server will not take ownership of any resource records it registers on behalf of clients. This approach is typically used when upgrading from Windows NT to ensure downlevel clients that do not support DDNS can take ownership of their own resource records when they are upgraded to Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
The point is that you should only add the computer accounts for your DHCP server to the DNSUpdateProxy group if you are going to be upgrading pre-Windows 2000 computers to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. And you should never add …
I need help connecting my router. I have a D-link wired router and want to connect it to my cable. I know it is a simple thing to do, but want to make sure I do it correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey kkehler!
Very simple thing to do here.
1) Power off all components 2) Hook a networking cable from the cable modem to the Input or Internet port on your router. 3) Hook another networking cable from a port on your router to the back of your computer. 4) Power on your Modem and wait for the lights to come on. 5) Power on your Router and wait for 20 seconds 6) Power on your Computer.
Should be good to go! Make sure your router doesn't require you to install any software on your computer first before you hook it up! Alot of Linksys' are like that.
You must have an ip conflict on the client side. A bad address entry is entered When a third-party Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client detects that the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) address received from a DHCP server already exists on the Local Area Network (LAN), the DHCP client may send a DHCP decline message to the DHCP server. This would be the BAD_ADDRESS message you are getting. You will need to go to all clients and cross reference there ip's this includes network printers, routers, switches anything that could have a static or dynamic address on the network.
But what would cause 130+ BAD_ADDRESS entries when we only have roughly 25 computers?
all scopes for dhcp clients fluded with bad_address entries. My DHCP server is Win 2003 standard with only one network interface enabled. And there is 5 conflict detection attempt configured. All knowlege base articles that i found out does not match my situation. And very interesting that all this bad_address appears with 6-bytes Unique Identifier, when all other clients have MAC address as Unique Identifier. Did anybody know what is the possible reason of such behaviour?
well poop, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have DNS setup but when I change an IP and registerdns it fixes the ptr record but not the host (A) record. I tried new zone delegation but no dice... i figured i had to do that. Don't know why.
No thats where DNS comes in again, it uses the computer name to resolve the ip. You shouldn't have to create another because the computer name remains the same.:!:
Also, I'm having a problem with my forward lookup zone. When I type ipconfig /registerdns I can check the DNS server and a PTR record is created but not a host record.
Here is a link to a website with with alot good info on how to setup your server. It might not be exactly what your after but should explain the setup of DNS on your server a bit better. Look in the Active Directory section. http://www.visualwin.com/ .:)
What does your server do? Is it just a file server? Will people from your branch office need to connect to it from outside of this network? Is the server running windows 2003? Is it going to be the dc?:?::?::?: What OS are the pc's running?
Hey again,
This is our only server and it functions/will function as our print, dhcp, file, dns and terminal licensing server and will be the only DC on our network. People will be connecting to the server from the branch office outside of the network, yes. The server is running Server 2003 standard x64. The PCs are running XP/2000 and one NT4.0 machine.
Well I have DNS setup on a test machine, and for now DHCP is pointing to that. I'm not sure if it's setup correctly or not, but I do know that without it none of the machines can access the internet. But none of the computers create their own record in the DNS zone... So I'm not sure what the problem is.
My DHCP server keeps coming up with BAD_ADDRESS. I can delete them (over a hundred) and they just continue to come back, filling up the scope. Here's a bit of my log file...
I have no clue why I continue to get so many BAD_ADDRESS entries. We are switching over from a 13.240.x.x structure to 192.168.x.x. Most computers have two NICs in them, and the LAN was statically set on one of the cards. I've went around to most of the machines and disabled the static cards and …
I'm setting up our wireless router. If i put in our default gateway as a static address I can access internet, but if i obtain using DHCP i can't. The default gateways are the same. Any clue?
There is something causing your computer to randomly reboot - probably hardware, but maybe software. Have you added any hardware lately or recently installed software? There is usually a hex value associated with the bugcheck error message like 0x0000007F or something. Does it list this in the event viewer? If you find it, you could search Google or the Microsoft KB for this hex value. Your operating system version would be helpful info as well.
Thanks for the reply!
I don't think anything was recently put in, though the user does like to install software randomly. We checked the hex value and it mentioned the mobo or memory. We tried swaping the mem from another machine and it still happens. The pc is running w2k
You shouldn't really be using a workgroup with 25 machines it will start to cause problems. If possible you should create a domain.
That's one of the main reasons for our new network structure. We're in the process of switching over from peer-peer to client/server. I haven't gotten around to setting up the dc yet, as I can only do major events on Saturdays when noone is around, and I'm still transferring files from the old serv-computers.
If your running 2003 server can't you just set access rights to allow users to use only what thay have permission to:?:
Also i don't think it will make things any faster because the server running the printing progam still has to deal with all the requests. I think you should upgade or if possible replace with something more powerful. Also what speed does your network run at:?:
didn't know I could do that... How do I set that up? We're running 1Gbs
I work at an engineering company... which means like 30x36" plans (some of which are 350MB). The printer we have was $30-40k from what I've heard, and I've also heard there's only like 12 in the country. So buying a new printer is out... but it's ok, the printer has it's own controller with a NIC.
What the problem here is.....
The printing program we use to submit our plots (numerous plans at a time) is currently running on a really slow system, which I figure slows down the submit time. I purchased a Wyse Thin-net client to hook directly into our new server (see specs in profile), that way people could go to the thinnet client right by the printer but esentially be oppening the program on the server for processing. I need to do this but still limit what the user sees on the server...
Sorry, should have been more descriptive before ;)
