Doh! I forgot 192.168.0.1, thanks!Who uses 10.107.19.1? I don't think I've seen that before.

Heya dirt, haven't see you in a while If you don't know your netmask then it is most likely 255.255.255.0 and your gateway is probably 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.100.1 Try using DHCP instead of setting these manually unless you need to go static. Does this help you? I am assuming your actual goal is to get connectivity, not to find an ipconfig replacement... Why doesn't 'ipconfig /all' work on your machine? Did you HFCLEANUP it out?

They may no longer exist. Check your Networking folder in Control Panel. Whether they exist or not, you can just rename that connection. Click on it, hit F2, and name it whatever you want.

Here is the link to be an MSFN sponsor: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66382

There is no shortage of Steve/GRC haters out there. This site is the loudest. Don't base your opinion of him on just that source, though. I've seen many respected authors write both online and in print about Steve's wandering ways. FYI: not a single serious sysadmin/techie that I know keeps GRC tools in their toolkit. The Sponsor tag just means that I donated $10 to this forum/site. I really wanted to donate to my favorite project, HFSLIP, but they don't have a way to donate yet. I'm not a linux slave! I don't even use it that often, though I did in the past. I mainly work on Win2K workstations. My web server is a linux box but my favorite server OS is OpenBSD. Don't know crap about Macs :/ Off to work I go...good luck!

I, and probably some others, might be able to reply more quickly and more often if you changed your avatar. It borders on porn and so I can't read your posts at work. I was thinking that, but it isn't really the case. It is possible, as br00k pointed out, to run different servers on different ports. It is just a bit complex for what is most likely a personal server and if they were both commerce sites you would need to do some redirection so that your business doesn't live at yourdomain.com:8888. Watch out for Steve Gibson, his propaganda, and his software. He is dubious to say the least. I have no experience with SpinRite, though. Aha! Now we are on track Good tactics If you are concentrating on web development you may not want to worry about TCL or Python for now. Both have their uses but neither is really the best for web devs...especially TCL! Stick with PHP, Ruby, *HTML, CSS, Perl and maybe even some Javascript and you should be fine. All languages have their pros and cons and there are lots of zealots out there who will sell you one way or the other. Figure out which one you like the best and are most productive with. THAT is the best language for you. (Personally, I use PHP most of the time) No, not according to me/us anyway. It comes down to this: what are your requirements? You sorta defined them above (deliver real services). It sounds like you aren't hampered by a boss that likes language X or an existing infrastructure/project to support so it is really up to your personal preference. For the record, most of the web runs on Apache. Not sure if that means anything to you or not. In the IIS vs Apache battle you will find lots of opinions. There are lots of questions to ask: Are you more comfortable with a GUI or a text file? That is where most of the management takes place (there are kinda GUIs for Apache, though). Have you already invested in Windows? Maybe you want to capitalize on that investment. Do you rely on a certain brand of database? Does that affect your server choice? What about development tools? Would those sway you? As far as performance goes there are MANY shootouts that compare the two and you can easily find one to support whatever claims you want to make. So it really comes back to your requirements. Decide on what you want. Is there a 'killer app' in your plan? Does that app only run on one of the platforms? Then your decision is already made for you. Well I have used both and I personally prefer Apache. It is elegant and reliable. I have found IIS to be convoluted and unreliable. You mileage may vary. It sounds like you have tried most of this stuff already so all of this may come down to an easy question: which one do YOU prefer?And stop rebooting for Apache, you silly Windows user http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html.en

Depending on what kind of server have, static will likely be easier. If you have lots of clients you will want to use a high IP in the subnet range (easy)...or reserve that IP on the DHCP server (a bit harder).

You can try to hack into it but that would likely take you much longer than resetting it and rebuilding your config. Just bite the bullet and reset it. Lesson learned: maintain a backup of your config.

Your references to 'page' and 'indexing' confuse me as to whether you are asking about Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer. Although they are most likely the same for what you are talking about.

I think there are some others, even variants of the same card/chipset, but Orinoco really is the best. Most of them are sold under the "Proxim" name now and make sure if you get one on eBay that it comes with the external antenna dongle.

Running two web servers is interesting. Try to avoid that if possible. I can't even begin to imagine all of the problems that could cause.

Before going through all of that I would check your TCP/IP settings. If your network is DHCP, make sure you are getting an IP automatically. If static, make sure you have the right subnet, mask, gateway, and dns (most of that is reported by the router) If those options are set for your network I would then check the cabling. Might have a loose jack or a short. Then try that safe mode stuff

@whakamaru: The lists that TC is referring to are in the stickied posts and TC's sig. Use those if you can't wait for this month's patches to be ironed out. If you can wait a bit, you should do so.

Nothing is wrong; that is how it works. A full-blown discussion on the odd behaviors of DHCP is beyond a forum post so please refer to this: http://www.dhcp-handbook.com/dhcp_faq.html A lease time isn't *really* guaranteed. Most windows clients request a new IP (lease renewal) half-way through the lease anyway. Bottom line: don't count on DHCP leases if you need a static IP.

I think you missed a digit I may have to fire up a copy of Tiny and see if it accepts this input...

I've never had as much luck with USB 802.11 devices as I've had with other interfaces...but that is just my personal experience. Would you consider springing for a mainstream 802.11 adapter instead of that Edimax one? I've never seen one personally so my thoughts are that it is some obscure product (and Google doesn't have too much on it) but perhaps it is common in other areas. Either way, do this: Disable all authentication and encryption Put them close together Establish connection See how far away you can get If things are OK, then start adding on security You can try that software AP mode but you'll probably have better luck with ad hoc. This is what ad hoc was designed for

Nice find! Does it do everything that you need it to do?

Hopefully you saved a backup of your config, as you should always do, because you need to do a hard reset.

Just found this little gem: http://software.ccschmidt.de/#fdbget But it really depends on the device that it interrogates.

That is too bad. That app really looks like the best one. Take a look at these other options: http://www.mobilenetswitch.com/index.htm http://www.bvrp.com/eng/products/connectio...ger/default.asp http://www.globesoft.com/software_products.asp http://www.interactive-studios.net/index.htm http://www.orbitblue.com/ipfly.htm http://www.netswitcher.com/index.htm http://www.systemnt.com/software.htm http://www.lyrasoftware.com/modules/news/i...hp?storytopic=3 http://www.gold-software.com/download7215.html http://www.netswitcher.com/product_info.htm http://2000trainers.com/article.aspx?artic...=343&page=1 It looks like most cost money, though. We could create a script to do this. I don't have time to do it myself but could probably help you through it.

Everything worked fine before you installed the Tiny Firewall?

There is a guide on how to use the software here: http://www.netsetman.com/index.php?s=help.php&hf=en Does that help you?

What a steaming pile of poo. Steer clear of Vista! (And it is a bad idea to use a beta OS unless you are a beta tester anyway)

A person with access to that router (your brother) can look at all of your traffic. The level of fidelity they can attain is mostly due to the router itself. Some are more flexible than others. There is very little you can do about it, and the little that you can do isn't trustworthy. Every packet that goes through the router can be examined. Even if you have proxy, encryption, or whatever else the data is still there and can be viewed. Ditch that hub for a switch. Switches break up broadcast domains and will prevent users, other than people with access to the gateway device, from sniffing you. The router admin can monitor you but the other users on your switch won't as long as the switch is connected directly to the hub.

Have you disabled any services like DHCP?
