    Proxy tunneling - I give up!

    While I know you might identify with network administrators, these are unfortunately not doing their job. Apparently the notable qualifications such as "ignoring requests for access to legitimate resources" and "nothing can access the net except IE" are being gazed past. Yes, three cheers...

    Proxy tunneling - I give up!

    I have to admit that the network at one company I deal with is simply too locked down to make me want to bother with tunneling a VNC connection out to my home PC through the proxy. First, the proxy is restricted to only allowing http / https connections. No problem. Just use an http...

    Security camera + DVR server suggestions?

    It's hard finding sites dedicated to reviewing the various alternatives for DVR security systems. I'm looking for a total solution, including a dedicated DVR box as oppsed to just a card that I plop in an existing machine. If anyone here has recommendations on a particular system that has a...

    News to the wise college kids wanting to get around "the network"

    :laugh: "How dare you use a lot of encrypted traffic on my network?!?!" It sounds to me more like it's the network admin whining "that's unfair!" more than the students. "Chancelor, Chancelor!! We have to alter the rules! Students are using encryption and preventing me from observing all...

    News to the wise college kids wanting to get around "the network"

    You only know what method I'm using to do something. Not what I'm doing. There is, of course, a chasm of difference. "I know exactly what you're doing behind that closed door!" "Oh really? What?" "You're existing behind that door! See! Technically I'm right! That's exactly what...

    News to the wise college kids wanting to get around "the network"

    I think we're talking apples and oranges. The challenge was "I dare you to get around my security." Well, they just did, right? And the traffic is encrypted in such a way that the only excuse you can give is "I don't understand what they're doing, so I'm unplugging them." You didn't for...

    QoS questions

    I'm aware of that. I'm simply saying that yes, that upstream bandwidth could easily be utilized by other users leaving the external user with nothing. I want to prevent that and I assume QoS would be one way of doing it. Correct?

    News to the wise college kids wanting to get around "the network"

    Yeah, but isn't that a bit of a cop-out? Who defines "a legit amount of SSL traffic" and based on what? I would personally prefer that everything I do be encrypted. In other words, you could give that excuse for reason to do almost anything. I'm asking how you conclusively justify it above...

    News to the wise college kids wanting to get around "the network"

    Out of curiosity, what are you going to do to justify dealing with someone using a SSL proxy? I mean, sure you can "detect a lot of SSL traffic", but you have no idea what's transpiring there. It seems like all you'd be left with is saying "Well, I don't know what's going on there, so I'm...

    QoS questions

    I'm an infant in the world of traffic prioritization so I apologize if I'm completely barking up the wrong tree here. One of my managers has began working from home and is using Remote Desktop a good bit. The connection here at the office is through Comcast (6 mbps down, 768 kbps up). We do...

    Flash drives - does a drive exist with all of these features?

    I want a flash drive primarily for data transfer to a couple systems that don't have network access as well as bringing files to and from home. I'd like to have one with hardware encryption since I might use it to store some sensetive account info. I've been digging around some basic reviews...

    Migrating a Win 2k server from 1 HD to a RAID 5 array

    The system in question has no current RAID controller. It's simply a SCSI HD connected strait to a SCSI controller. I have access to Ghost 9.0 (standard) and all I've read basically echos what is mentioned here. "Maybe Ghost will work with the RAID array, and maybe it won't." You all...

    Migrating a Win 2k server from 1 HD to a RAID 5 array

    I'm performing a variety of IT functions for a small but booming company. One of their forseeable issues is that their primary Win 2k server (which is responsible for AD, DHCP, DNS, backups, and a few other miscellaneous jobs) is running on a single quality SCSI hard drive. I'm pushing the...

    The problem with passwords

    Yeah, I may try one of those programs. But since I don't carry a PDA, I picture myself sitting down to a friends computer and needing to access my webmail and not being able to recall the password since I don't have the said password storage program on that machine.

    The problem with passwords

    My problem with passwords is that, as all good geeks should, I'd prefer to use random passwords with a mix of letters and number while having a different one for every case where a password is needed (even forums like this). In reality, there's no way I'd be able to remember them all. I still...

    6800 Soft-mod success??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I only know rumors. Here are the two rumors I've heard: - Experiment with the Forceware drivers. I've seen some people claim they got it to unlock with forceware or more recent nVidia drivers. - I've heard rumor that you can flash the bios (what bios version specifically, I don't know) to...

    Another BFG 6800 OC success

    The BFG I got is "average". Not quiet, not really loud. $250 - $260 is a pretty good price. Some retailer had them the other day (best buy or compusa I think) for $220 with Half-Life 2 after a big rebate (somewhere around $120 rebate I think).

    Another BFG 6800 OC success

    I switched back to the standard 66.93 nVidia drivers. Made no difference in my Doom 3 FPS. However, regardless of drivers, Rome: Total War won't load for me. When I start the game, my monitor reports that it's attempting to run the game in some absurdly high refresh rate of 290 or so...

    Another BFG 6800 OC success

    I'd been itching to get GF 6600 GT AGP, but since the price is being pumped up due to low availability, I started reading around about spending $50 more and unlocking the 6800. So I decided to try the BFG 6800 OC. Ordered it from Chumbo.com so I could get the rebate ($260 after rebate, with $5...

    On-board SATA RAID question regarding drive failures

    I've been told "some of the high end controllers, yes they keep on trucking, but the cheaper onboard ones dont let you". IOW, he's saying that your data is safe, but the system itself doesn't continue to operate untill the faulty drive is replaced / rebuilt. I've heard it both ways, anyhow.

    On-board SATA RAID question regarding drive failures

    Have any of you experimented with onboard SATA RAID systems running a Raid 1 (mirrored) array? If so, will the system continue to operate if one of the drives fail, or does the failure cause problems (lock ups, require replacement before it will work again, etc...)? In my experiences with...

    Picked up mine today. I stopped by Eckards, picked up the ad, then swung by BB. They pricematched the widescreen set w/ 5 DVDs no questions asked. I also had an extra $1 off thanks to the McDonalds Monopoly game they've got going on right now :D $33.99 final price before tax.

    just got a pair of kingston hyperX pc3500: help!

    In your rig specs, you list an ABit 865PE, and you mention the 1:1 memory requirement for PAT, so I assume you are refering to the IS7 (or one of it's variants). That being the case, if you enable GAT (the "official" name for PAT features on the IS7 since it's a tiny bit different from PAT)...

    *** Official ABIT IS7/G/E (865PE) Thread ***

    Nucleas, when you turn your system on start hitting ESC. My bet is that you're using a video card that brings up some kind of "introduction screen" which covers up the screen where you hit DEL to get into the BIOS. I've seen this before in other systems, anyhow.

    There are too many PAT / GAT rumors floating around. Someone set me straight on these points. Here are a list of things I've heard: 1. The Memory : CPU ration *must* be 1:1 (although the GAT options are still there regardless, which is confusing) 2. PAT / GAT doesn't work with a FSB of...
