  1. Never put important information on a computer.

    If you do, never plug it in.

    If you plug it in, don't turn it on.

    If you turn it on, all bets are off...

    The ONLY means to real security is a standalone hardware firewall which requires you to disconnect it from network to configure it.

    One that does Stateful Packet Inspection and drops "bad" packets on the floor...

    Any software firewall that can be installed by you the user can also be uninstalled by a clever hacker...

    lol Marsden you are so right. However, you have missed the two most important solutions

    Switch off the internet

    lock it in a room and throw away the key.

  2. I used to be a network admin. Password sharing is punishable by removing all access to your PC for 2 years or death.

    Sharing passwords at any level can cause problems. Your friend could surf and do something with your details and as the account is assigned to you, you would b held accountable.

    I always used to say to people.

    'Would you give your credit card pin to someone?" its basically the same thing

  3. I took absolutley ages to work this out. Basically ICS, sets up its own mini dhcp and dns server, these will be conflicting with your 2003 server. There are two options (unless I am totally wrong cuz 2003 may be ok with this, anyone feel free to correct me)

    1. Use a third party product to do your connection sharing

    2. Set up 2003 dns and dhcp to correctly route your traffic

    3. Do like i did and shell out on a broadband/adsl router, origo do one via ebuyer for about £30

    good luck

  4. ok, so ive put the files back and am now getting the problem with the update now button not working. I have tried all what MS say on their site and still no joy.

    It does mention that microsoft are still researching this problem.

    I suppose for now I'll just have to get the files off the hotfixes thread.

    BTW, it all works hunky dory on a vmware session with the same build but all files back to the c drive.

    Me's thinking it could be a dodgy registry setting somewhere

    mmmmmmmmmm

  5. Ever since I have gone SP1a and have redirected my progfiles dir to the d: drive I am no longer able to DL, Windows Updates off the MS site. I receive an error of 80070052 looking this up on the help does not resolve my problem.

    Also, the automatic updates service fails to start with an error.

    It's really winding me up atm

    any help appreciated.

  6. Since doing an unattended setup and switching my program files to my d drive, i can no longer get windows update, receiving the below error number.

    Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page.

    Select from any of the following pages for information about Windows Update services, or send us your feedback

    (0x80070052)

    This is when i click on windows update and go to the ms website

    hellllllllllllllllppppppppppppppp
