Sorry that should read "V.a.l.i.d.a.t.i.o.n.P.C.I" where each "." is a zero byte.

Hi, When doind a spot of traffic monitoring using the Etherpeek Demo, I noticed that there was a good few Ethernet broadcasts on our network. Any idea what these might be? The source address in ascii always comes up as "OH!" plus a character or two... And some messages seem to...

Hi karmic - we are using Exchange 2000. Our ISP already confirmed that we are not an open relay. The problem appears to be related to the program "Gator" which was creating the junk mail. Once I removed Gator the junk mail stopped appearing in the queue. So I phoned our ISP to get...

Somehow our mailserver has been compromised and is being used to transmit junk mail. I finally got the story from our ISP who blocked the SMTP smarthost because we were transmitting huge amounts of junk mail. I had noticed the port scans on a certain IP address for a while, but had no idea this...

Hi How should I set up an exchange 2000 server for outgoing messages (SMTP)? We get incoming mail no probs, presumably because the configuration is all done by our ISPs. I think this has something to do with routing groups... Will having more than one DSL connection to our ethernet complicate...

Are there classes that provide this sort of thing? The remote machine is on the LAN.

Whats up with this? I want to use a plain old unsigned byte 0-255, but the default Java byte type and Byte object are both signed, meaning when I use values > 200 I get value - 256. I suppose this is something to do with how the byte represents a negative (2s complement?) but i'm not sure of...

Hi I wanted to write a simple "dig" program that'd perform forward and reverse DNS lookups. Looking quite easy so far thanks to java.net classes, but there doesn't seem to be anything that allows you to set which DNS server you are querying. Is there a way to do this? I expect you...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking... The traffics not too heavy anyway, thanks.

What use is NetBios on a Win2k Ethernet? The only use I know of is maintaining browser lists - is this really necessary and does it enhance network performance? Etherpeek reports a good few "browser host announcements" with netbios-dgm as the port and SMB as the protocol. It also...

On another, virgin, machine exactly the same things happen - Office SP3 won't install on top of a clean install of Office SR-1. I also get the same "Error applying patch to file: c:\Config.msi\somefilename.tmp" error when trying to reinstall SR-1a. C:\Config.msi does not in fact...

Hi I would like to update Office 2000 which is installed on a few machines on a LAN. The main point being to patch the security vulnerabilities in Outlook. Currently the version of Office is SR-1. According to MS, Office SP3 goes right on top of SR-1 - this is not confirmed by my experience...

Am running Outlook 2000 SR-1 on Windows 2000, should I use Office update or Outlook update, and what update do I need to go to the latest version? Could someone supply a URL?

Hi I have built a small application which basically gets various kinds info for some PCs on our LAN using PHP to execute (shell_exec()) command line progs (psinfo, pulist) and formats the info in an html table. The problem is that although everything works from the local machine, no output...

Hi I am trying to set up group policy from the Active Directory snap-in, by accessing the GP tab of the properties of a domain (our only one). I get the error message: "Failed to find a domain controller. There may be a policy preventing you from selecting another domain controller...

3 disk 250Gb UDMA/133? The board is a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra, the RAID controller is the onboard Promise PDC20276 ATA 133 RAID controller. RAID level will probably be 5, but maybe 0, is there a difference in setup-time? I envisage using the quickformat option or this could take a _very_ long...

I know what RAID 5 is - other sites have similar descriptions. You seem to be saying a whole disk can be reconstructed, how is this possible? Is some sort of compression used?

Hi I will be implementing a RAID 5 and 0 shortly and was wanting to know about recovery from level 5: What exactly is meant by parity here, and if one disk fails can its whole contents be rebuilt from parity data? How is this possible when only one disk's worth of parity is held...?

I have: execString = pingString.concat(ipString); pExec = WshShell.Exec(execString); Where execString is: "ping A.B.C.D" but this doesn't work (File not found). What to do? Thanks, DP

I have been trying to do this, but I can't find it... :( There is a lot more information on the MS Windows bitmap standard, but how this relates to X-windows I don't know...
