Hi bYtE The RDP services are enabled and started on all machines. No firewall other than what is on the IP Cop box. Other firewalls are disabled on Windows XP and 2k3 server. No firewall exists on the 2K boxes either. Tried a different network point as well.. To no evail. :(. Also not seeing anythin...

Hi guys Ok, this is a strange problem if I ever did see one. I work for an IT company in Edenvale and we recently setup a VPN solution to one of our customers via IP cop. So far so good. Now the problem comes in when trying to do a remote desktop connection to that customer. Here's how it goes: the ...

Hi guys. Jeez, this is taking me back awhile as I'm sure it will you to. First off, how would I automate a DOS install? I know that DOS needs it's boot disks to work, unless you copy it to a CD and just format the hdd and copy the dos files into a dos folder and sys c. This is all fine an well, but ...

jPm, try this: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/.

Supposed to let you install Mac on a PC. It's a MAC emulator as it were. Havn't really played with it considering I don't have Mac OS X. But in theory it works. Now just to get Mac OS. Hmm, cheaper than MS I see <G>

Howsit guys

Is anyone familiar with a Linux firewall solution called IPCOP? I'm needing some help. It will be appreciated

And they would help? Or do they have a similar course. MCSE doesn't cover that stuff, well not the hacking tools etc. I know coz I'm MCSE <G>

thanks for the responses . I found the course on the net site is: http://www.eccouncil.org/CEH.htm . It covers the basic type of stuff . Well if you can call it that. I know the exams are administered via Sylvan Prometric. Oh well, back to the hunt. Thx again

Hi guys

I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can do the Certified Ethical Hacker course in SA?

Hi all

Dunno if this has been asked, but how would I change a IP address/default gateway on a Mandrake 9.2 machine via the console? Any help is appreciated

Sojourn, I'm looking for a prog that will limit the downloads.

Hi all

Does anyone know of any programs like NetIQ Webmarshal that supports a bandwidth quota?

Greetings Windows XP saves the updates to Windows\software distribution after the install of SP 2. As far as writing down the update names and downloading them from MS, I have no issues with that. But anyway, what you could do is download the autopatcher file, or run windows update on one machine an...

check ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/suse/i386/9.3/. It's the DVD Version. No ISO's unfortunately, a glorious 9.4GB for a full download, 4.3GB for a normal . Just gotta sort out what you don't need to download. <G>

Hi all Ok, I'm pretty new to Linux, but can install and use it without much issue. I'm busy downloading Suse 9.3 from ftp.is.co.za and from ftp.archive3tenet.sun.ac.za. Now what I want to know is is the src, nosrc, noarch and x86_64 directories needed to perform a normal installation of Suse 9.3? Th...

Nah, it's not a late afternoon. 8) I know what a live DVD is :). It boots Suse from the DVD and runs it as tho it was installed onto the harddrive, but memory usage sores. Still need a DVD burner to burn the image tho <G>. I have also found the installable version all 4 + GB of it on ftp.is.co.za an...

Thx man . I got a DVD Writer so it's cool. Anywho, DSL is capped so couldn't get onto suse.com so thanks a mil for the help m8.

Hi guys.

Does ny1 know of a local Suse Linux mirror other this is.co.za that I can download Suse 9.3?

Hmm, well now comes a problem :). Don't you hate it when people say that? hehe. Ok I don't know Novell at all :oops: But if you are trying to connect to the Windows 2003 machine and it keeps asking for a username and password edit the group policy and allow guest to access the network, of course the...

If this issue has not been sorted I just need toask if you can acess Windows functions such as explorer/task manager etc. If you can access task manager at least click on file-> new task. Then type in cmd and at the command prompt type sfc /scannow. This will prompt for the CD. It is more than likel...

Oh one more thing, as far as I know there is no issue with Win2k3 Svr and Win 98 working together or even being able to handle active directory stuff. At least none that I've come across in my test environment.

Anakha56, don't know if this issue is sorted but if not poledit can be found on a windows 98 CDRom under %CDROM%\tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit. It's easier if you copy it to a directory. Run the prog and then follow prompts. I'm sure I can email it to you if you don't have it on a 98 CD or is this g...

Thanks for the help. Will check it out. I'l try Cable Link. Maybe they can build me one.
