Hi Ricktendo64, thanks for your help Regards, nolo Thanks guys I am learning a lot of new things here at MSFN forum.... .... I just downloaded Orca! a brend new tool for me, well I am not going to understand it at the moment, but at list I can start to look inside .msi files! actually I understood how you did that change is not difficult to use Orca. Nice one!

Hi, I am using WPI to deploy NOD32. The silent install is running fine: msiexec.exe /i "%wpipath%\\Install\\Nod32\\nod32.msi" /qb! REBOOT="ReallySuppress" ADMINCFG="Config.xml unfortunately I am not sure nod32 is taking the default configuration from the Config.xml file that I just exported from a previous nod32 installation. Where I have to put Config.xml to let nod32 installation read it? at the moment I put both here: %wpipath%\\Install\\Nod32\\nod32.msi "%wpipath%\\Install\\Nod32\\Config.xml is that correct? Thanks Nolo

Hi I am trying to silently install Nod32 and Windows defender via WPI. For nod32 I am using: msiexec.exe /i "%wpipath%\\Install\\Nod32\\nod32.msi" /qb! REBOOT="ReallySuppress" ADMINCFG="Config.xml" For WD I am using: msiexec.exe /i "%wpipath%\\Install\\windefender\\WindowsDefender.msi" /qb The silent installation is fine but after that, they pop up during WPI cycle without wait for the next reboot Is there a way to tell them do not start and wait just after the next reboot? Thanks Nolo

Hi mritter Hi Kelsenellenelvian You are the men!!!! thanks a million! with the WPI.exe no more problems. All software included Office 2007 installed with no errors Regards, nolo

Hi two questions from Freakboy and fillalph. 1)Create a small Business environment is not a huge job to accomplish , but if is not well planned and administrated can produce many really hard and dangerous problems, like security, data integrity, privacy service availability risks, etc. If these jobs are made it for business I suggest both of you to ask at list a consultancy from an IT expert. There are many variables to think about. as example some thing to care about security: - Centralized Firewall - centralized Proxy service (optional) - centralized Antivirus deploying services for updates - Centralized security policy for file and folders and shares (who can see what) - Configuring the switches example Vlan's - Demilitarized services (services that need to be accessible from the outside world) - Raid or whatever systems for data security and integrity - database backup etc... 2) For the storage and backup issue there are many ways to plan what you asked. Just to give you a basic idea you could plan to by a small business NAS (network attacked storage) provided with security Raid levels. After you could map some folders with the right security policies and publish them to the clients.. beside the NAS you could attack a backup system (tape or whatever) as second level of security..... etc. as example see w*w.thecus.com/products_index.php?set_language=english 3) I agree with rendrag and biggaon for small Companies is easier to host email and web services trough an external Internet and hosting provider.

Hi, I found this link but I do not know if can be useful for you ht*p://support.microsoft.com/kb/900935 Specifically Method 1 trough method 4..... and configure a proxy server by using the Proxycfg.exe Basically you need to set your Internet Browsers to automatically discover the proxy setting.... I not sure if this work by the way. and these one's h*tp://blog.freyguy.com/archives/2006/03/01/proxy-auto-detect-ie-and-firefox/ (this is the most complete and technical) ht*p://w*w.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2000-2003/30200-auto-detect-proxy-server.html Regards, Nolo

Hi I found these info for you: The regsvc.exe process allow remote administration of your pc's registry settings. You should leave this process running if your computer is administered over a network. Generally you should leave this process running. If you computer is a stand-alone desktop pc and not on a network it is safe for you to disable this process. regsvc.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. However, removing Remote Registry service may adversly impact your system. Windows description of this service: Enables remote users to modify registry settings on this computer. If this service is stopped, the registry can be modified only by users on this computer. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. Basically if you are behind a Firewall/NAT (normal home routers have these protections), well you do not need to worry so much about possible intrusions.....

Now the internal part of the problem..... The router provide a service called DHCP (in your router is called LAN setup). This service is more or less like the service provided by your internet provider. It assign dynamically different private IP addresses to your internal PC's every time they are connect trough the router (LAN ports). The problem with this service just in your case (connecting to a PC inside the lan from the outside) is the following: Every time you need to contact that particular PC from the outside you need to ask permission to your router (router block you by default because the NAT service and or the firewall) NAT stand for Network address translation. (port forwarding) So to bypass this problem you simply create a Firewall/NAT rule. that rule tell to your router: "Every time there is a request from the outside from whatever IP address, asking to pass through protocol RDP and port 3389 let it pass and REDIRECT that request TO THE INTERNAL PC that is listening for that request and THAT HAVE A SPECIFIC IP ADDRESS (that IP you previously chosen to match the firewall rule) . And here is the problem: if your router dynamically (trough the DHCP service) assign a random IP address at THAT COMPUTER could be that the IP assigned is different from that one chosen in the firewall rule. For this reason this time the firewall rule is unheard. In this case to remedy at this problem you need to tell your router to assign always that specific IP address at that specific PC (this is assured by an option called IP reservation that your router can have or NOT) if not you need to statically and manually assign the IP address, netmask, gateway and DNS to that PC (as said the PC must have always the same IP to match the firewall rule) .... The first thing to do is to create the Firewall rule. Something like this: Service name --------------- Action ---------------- IP address LAN ---------------- WAN IP --------------- LOG RDP or whatever------------ Allow always--------- 192.168.xxx.xxx---------------- Any------------------- whatever Now that IP 192.168.xxx.xxx should be the IP address of the internal PC that you need to reach from the outside

Hi No there is no reboot. At the end of windows installation, if I do not remember wrong windows desktop start and after WPI.hta start. I use WPI.hta. I downloaded the package from the official site and decompress it there is just WPI.hta in the folder I download all the tools provided for the different type of installation, themes, etc. I am using the POST_OEM. "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection RunWPI.inf,,1,N" (cmdlines.txt) ( do I need to switch to another type?) Where I can find the EXE file? thanks Nolo

1) Dynamically mean that your internet provider assign to your router the first free public IP from a group of hundreds or thousand. So every time you reset o switch off the router, the IP assigned will be different. From the outside this is a problem, it is a problem from a external computer to reach your router because the only information it need is that IP address that we said dynamically assigned (by the time change always) For this reason there are site like that one I mentioned that offer a FREE home dynamic DNS service (your router use dyndns.org) what you need to do is to create a new account in one of these sites (username e password) and choose a free personal domain name, you can create your own name from a list they provide and personalize it....... for example http:\\yourname_something@dyndns.org The second step is to configure your router (If this service is provided). with the username, password and your domain name + the domain name of the site where you register this service put all these information into the DynDns.org page of your Netgear router. From this moment everytime you need to reach your router (from outside of course) insted of using the IP address that could be changed you just need to put your domain name created (http:\\yourname_something@dyndns.org). And everytime you will ping on http:\\yourname_something@dyndns.org from the outside you will recieve as answer the pubblic IP address of your router assigned from the Internet provider This happen because since you start the dyndns service into your router, your router start to pull the information about It's pubblic IP to the dyndns.org pubblic DNS's. They Update in real time the information provided by your router so that you can always track which IP address is assigned to your router. You can even create your personal web server, ftp server, directly on your home PC and after reach all of them from every part of the world

............ unfortunatelly the issue is still there.

Hi, 1) regarding the decision for your three clients to point their DNS requests to the router dns service in your case (home environment) it is normal easier and fast. 2) if you want to use your server as DNS server too then you need to proper configure the service. 3) For your win firewall, well with a bit of work you should configure any firewall without the need to switch it off. 4) the router protect already your lan from external intrusion (thanks to the NAT service and a firewall if is provided) but there are common technique to bypass those protections. The most common issue can be a Trojan horse that can silently open many ports from the inside of your lan.... so in this case a simple soft firewall better then the Ms win one, can detect those types of attempts. But at home level it really depend how do you use the PC especially surfing on the internet and how much experience do you have with IT stuffs. I say as less experience do you have with computer as much better is to raise common home defenses. Especially against viruses then hackers. regards, nolo

Hi, just few hints: could be a problem with you motherboard? could be possible to update your motherboard bios? Did you tried to install the Hard Drive into another computer to see if the same problem is reproduced? Did you try with different OS? did you try with a Linux live distro? regards, Nolo

Ok Chief I will do it and update you as soon as possible thanks a million for now nolo

Hi, obviously you should find a guide for your router, but generally they do not tell you how to use telnet options It is easier using the web interface if is provided. One good way to start is googling and find some helpful info.... I found these two links for you w w.techenclave.com/guides-and-tutorials/a-guide-port-forward-beetel-220bx-72916.html w w.cyberciti.biz/tips/hacking-beetel-220x-adsl-router-broadcom-bcm6338.html regards, nolo
