three physical nics, all plugged in and on the same subnet? can you post a network diagram, and what you are trying to achieve?

where clauses go before group by clauses

You could just add your AD users group to the local administrators group of each client pc. Not good for security though...

@LLXX Cheers @crahak I don't think tftpd32 does ftp? Can you recommend any tftp clients?

You wouldn't happen to have an MD5 of that .exe, would you? I found a copy, but I don't trust where I found it from...

I used to run an ipcop box in a house I shared. Didn't stop my housemate Alan from picking up everything available, when his pc finally ground to a halt he'd got 22,000 infected files. I had to run a software firewall just to keep his machine away from mine Now I usually only run outpost if I'm trying new software, to see if it does anything unexpected. I'd keep it on permanently if I wasn't behind a router though, or if I still shared a subnet with Alan

You'll have to lock down the boot order in the bios, and password protect it.

I do the same on one of my machines, but it's one that I don't store data on, don't use for banking, etc. People who know what they're doing can get away with it, but as a mod I'm not sure you should be suggesting this is a good idea, without saying why. People new here might follow by example, and get in trouble.

We used to use winproxy from www.winproxy.cz, which was $300 for an unlimited user count when I bought it. It was quick to install, simple to administer. But now we use squid and dansguardian. It might take you a week or two to set up, but you'll like the control.

Gone for good only if the recipent doesn't use undelete / file recovery programs But hopefully you can trust your relative Could look for a wiping utility just in case

You can get free mail servers that will run on NT4. No need to allow email off-site if you only need internal messaging.

One infection is good? Presumably they didn't spy your bank details and empty your account then...

You can use SET for a bit of command line maths Careful not to over-file that bath

Open relay mail servers get used by spammers, so people tend not to run them intentionally. Which mail server software have you tried? Mercury isn't bad. Alternatively, just use your ISP's smtp server?

If they block any then they probably block all of them. Best bet might be port 53, if you can set up a server somewhere listening on that. But if you break policy you'll probably just end up in the cells

Could try one of the free dynamic dns services?

If you didn't want to use vbscript you can get the day with FOR /F "TOKENS=1 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET day=%%A) edit: just noticed this is the xp forum, seem to remember date output changed since w2k, so this may not work

Some ISPs lock the cable modem so it will only talk to one mac address within a timeframe - could try spoofing the mac of the second nic to match the one that worked

If your security requirements include encryption, then Truecrypt doesn't need to be installed, in traveller mode. Or you could try BartPE, which has lots of antivirus and firewall plugins available, without needing to be installed on the host pc.

You could use pstat to find the available ram, then conditionally run Paraglider's setpagefile: :Begin :: Use PSTAT.EXE from the NT 4 Resource Kit :: to find the amount of RAM installed (in KB) FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=K " %%A IN ('PSTAT ^| FIND "Memory:"') DO SET RAM=%%A :: The following command line is added to round up instead of down; :: change the value from 1023 to 512 for "mathematical" rounding, :: or remove the line to round down SET /A RAM = %RAM% + 1023 :: Convert from KiloBytes to MegaBytes SET /A RAM = %RAM% / 1024 :: Display the result echo RAM SIZE IS %RAM% IF %RAM% LSS 65 %SystemRoot%\system32\SetPageFile.exe c:\pagefile.sys 128 (cheers oscar) You would need to run this early in the boot process, could use peshell or preshell.

you could try net stop tcpip net start tcpip and then restart all the services that depend on it if that doesn't work, you could also add devcon restart =net you'll probably have to download devcon first

A software firewall is sometimes useful in addition to a hardware router. When a suspicious new program tries to use the net, a software firewall should let you know, while your router would just allow it. Paranoia is good

You want to select from the DELETED table, to copy out the row(s) to be updated. This will ignore deletes and inserts, only fire for updates. CREATE TRIGGER savetohistory on [dbo].[Details] for update as BEGIN INSERT into DetailsHistory select * from DELETED END;

Not being Administrator Ok, that's not an app, so DropMyRights instead

If by tapping you mean listening, they could be running kismet and sniffing all your packets, mac filtering or ethereal wont help because kismet doesn't transmit anything. If you can't encrypt it, consider your traffic public.
