One tool is a net work sniffer as mentioned above. But you have more than that and there is no single tool to discover all the devices and what they are. I'd suggest you try the following as a start and modify as your local permissions/authority and skill allow, including the order of the...

Since the hosts file uses ip I thought this is one place someone maybe able to assist me. Are there domains that by default, Windows hosts file is ignored? Like when attempting to block a site? i.e. 127.0.0.1 aol.com 127.0.0.1 www.aol.com This changes a ping response from "unreachable" to...

I just used lanspy and most are jetdirect cards. One device is not a jetdirect and has telnet running. How can I get it to display a banner or something other than just "Login:" ? I have the outside ip of our router but not the inside ip. There was a way, which I have forgotten, to get a...

What features do you like most about Vista that is not in XP or just didn't work as well for Home or Business? Opinions?

I'm Physciallly disconnect from the DC but still a member. Do I only need to disassociate from the DC when disconnected to break policy? I can easily re-associate when I get back to the office. Then were do I look for the domain policy on a Vista Business local host?

On a windows box I'm playing with using a hosts file for a second layer for anti-spyware using one of the publicly available hosts file for it. Now it work fine as a second line of defense for that. I'm now trying to get it to work for web sites that I don't want other users to have access to...

The server role (Win 2003 R2) is file, email/exchange and print with c: for windows and apps that insist on being in the root. D: for all user and other app data. I don't look as often as I should but in the past month or so on the DC, we used up several gigs of free space on our c/root drive...

So a full format (not a quick format) does not erase each of the clusters and only does the mbr & file index ?

To clean you data off your hard drive, why is several full formats not considered good for all but the NSA to make the data to far down to read? Its my understanding that the data on a drive is like a layer on a cake with each rewrite adding another layer. So why is a second or third complete...

Once a user/service account has the attribute of "Hide from Exchange email lists" ticked (for services that need their own accounts), how long does it take to happen? Or does some other event need to happen? Thanks
