With the spread of Hackers and Hacking incidents, the time has come, when not only system administrators of servers of big companies, but also people who connect to the Internet by dialing up into their ISP, have to worry about securing their system. It really does not make much difference whether you have a static IP or a dynamic one, if your system is connected to the Internet, then there is every chance of it being attacked. This manual is aimed at discussing methods of system security analysis and will shed light on as to how to secure your standalone (also a system connected to a LAN) system. Open Ports: A Threat to Security? In the Netstat Tutorial we had discussed how the netstat -a command showed the list of open ports on your system. Well, anyhow, before I move on, I would like to quickly recap the important part. So here goes, straight from the netstat tutorial: Now, the ??a? option is used to display all open connections on the local machine. It also returns the remote syste...

I. Introduction First you'll need a Crossover Cable : A crossover cable is needed to directly connect your computer and Xbox. You would plug one end of the cable to your computer and the other end into the Xbox, there are no devices in between. If you have a hub, switch, or router you will not need a crossover cable though some still will work with one. With connecting to hubs, switches, or routers you should use a straight-through cable. The image below shows the difference between the two: To easily tell if you have a crossover or not, simply look at the two ends side by side. If all the pins, 1 through 8 on both ends are all the same color in the same order, you have a straight-through cable. If pins 1, 3 and 2, 6 are swapped you have a crossover cable. Notice the TX, RX as well. This shows why in pc to pc connections a crossover is required. Otherwise one pc will be transmitting over the same wire the other pc is trying to transmit on. This guide currently gives configuration ...

Cont... Here you've changed static ip back to yes and your gateway address should be the address of your router now. If your router is on a different subnet and by that I mean its ip is 192.168.1.1 and it is giving out dhcp address's of 192.168.1.x then you would make your evox.ini reflect those differences like this: [Network] SetupNetwork = Yes StaticIP = Yes Ip = 192.168.1.3 Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0 Defaultgateway = 192.168.1.1 DNS1 = 0.0.0.0 DNS2 = 0.0.0.0 MXM Dashboard If you run MXM as your dash and want to use DHCP then the MXM.xml file's section should look like this: True 255.255.255.0 Avalaunch Dashboard If you run Avalaunch as your dash and want to use DHCP then make the section of the avalaunch.xml look like this. 192.168.0.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 195.159.0.100 195.159.0.200 8080 UnleashX Dashboard For UnleashX, edit the config.xml file to look like this: 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.7 Yes For all of the dash's conf...

If for any reason your Win Xp Folder View does Not Stay To You're Setting. Grab your registry editor and join in Why Doesn't Windows Remember My Folder View Settings? If you've changed the view settings for a folder, but Windows "forgets" the settings when you open the folder again, or if Windows doesn't seem to remember the size or position of your folder window when you reopen it, this could be caused by the default limitation on storing view settings data in the registry; by default Windows only remembers settings for a total of 200 local folders and 200 network folders. To work around this problem, create a BagMRU Size DWORD value in both of the following registry keys, and then set the value data for both values to the number of folders that you want Windows to remember the settings for. For example, for Windows to remember the settings for 5000 local folders and 5000 network folders, set both values to 5000. Here is how: Follow these steps, and then qu...
