Correct, disabling SSID broadcast will not deter many...hackers. For the average computer user, a network with no SSID being broadcast means it doesnt exist. If you just dont want your mom, for instance, to find your network, disabling the SSID works fine...but then again, so does putting on WEP...

right click on the 'my network places' icon on the desktop, click 'properties', d-click 'make new connection', click 'next', hit the 'accept incoming connections' radio button, click 'next', DONT select anything in the window, click 'next', hit the 'allow virtual private connections' radio...

I understand that the description of the SID might be the same, but it is not. The domain name has changed, so instead of 'olddomain\administrators' it shows 'newdomain\administrators', with a completely different, unique SID. I took ownership though, as a last attempt, and it still is the...

::nod:: google's toolbar has a popup blocking option that works superbly. however, it will only work for 'real' popups (web scripts) and not adware -jamieson

There was no need to 'take' ownership, the administrator was automatically granted said access; however, though listed as the owner, the administrator does not have access to the write functions. It is very strange, and I believe to be a bug as all required settings are accurately applied. I am...

I am already logged in as the primary administrator. Even under this account I cannot change files. Its very bizarre, and I have yet to remedy it. Thanx for the info -Jamieson

I had a domain running, (PDC on a single server network) and recently demoted it in order to rename it with my FQDM. Since coming back online, all files show what they should for owner and security rights (new domain\administrators), however i am unable to delete or rename them. I have attempted...

You said you are running a Domain... are you running a WINS server? If so, make sure that the computers are updating in it. If not, it is a Master Browser issue. -Jamieson

Reddlefty- I am having similar problems, and they are definitely due to master browser issues. I reviewed the events log on the problematic machines and they all listed browser service conflicts... anyways, that FAQ brings to point the Browser Monitor tool in win2k...i cannot find it. u know...

Me again. I read an article somewhere that explained master browsers and browser elections and so on and so forth. I configured the server as the master browser through regedit. This seemed to fix the problem on some computers, not others. Right now, I have one computer on the LAN that will...

The network at my office has started to show problems regarding WINS. Computers are mixed between XP Pro and 2000 Pro. We have a server running server2k, but it is currently not running any server services (eg. wins, dns, rras) and is not running a domain. Anyways, depending on the 'mood' of...

where did u get the 1.43.3? use an external ftp program and connect to the linksys ftp site. i just downloaded it the other day and had no problem if you still cannot get it to work, let me know. I had the same problems you are having, and am using the sr41, but finally got mine to work -Jamieson

No, the sr41 cannot support multiple vpn tunnels. I am currently using the same router at my office, but will be upgrading to the befvp41 vpn router. costs about the same amount, but has up to 50 (i think, maybe 80) tunnels at one time. -Jamieson

Hmmm, when you open up 'new connection' do you get an option to enter your local area code? In XP Pro, If i cancelled out of the area code selection dialog, it would automatically make the vpn connection unselectable. Dont know if it helps -Jamieson

Hey stiffguy, I had the same problem before, but with a befsr41 router. Make sure that the IP addresses on both server and client side are different. To make mine work, i re-designated my server's lan's gateway to 1.1.1.1 and kept the client side at 192.168.1.1 give it a try, it worked...

Yeah, I just tried 1.43.3 and it worked fine Did have to change the Lan IP though

Geo, had any luck yet? I am having the same error, and do believe it is due to the firmware. The GRE 47 protocol is not passing through the router, and as far as I can tell there is no way to change that. The PPTP passthrough setting is supposed to allow the GRE to flow, but it doesnt. I am...

When you configure the VPN, use the 'remote access server' option instead of 'virtual private network'. This will set up VPN without the filters so the NIC will be working as normal. -Jamieson

I have read the other posts on VPNs behind Linksys routers, and though they have given some insight, do not help that much. I have my VPN configured at my office, and am able to connect to, and fully utilize it from another computer on the same network as the server (using 192.168.1.101 as the...
