I want to play a (trusted) game online that requires me to allow 4 incoming TCP ports in Windows Firewall. None of them appear to be used by Trojans, not that I run any programs I don't trust anyway. Is it safe to open the ports?
Thanks so much,
Pete

Basically, no, never
In reality, sometimes you have to open ports. Unless there is a known vulnerability with that game, noone will have an additional point of entry to your system, because any connections to those ports will be evaluated by the game.
Your system, however, will be more visible if anyone tries to probe these ports.
After all, I regularly open ports to play games online, but I keep them shut when I do not use the game that needs them.
Cheers,
Sebastian

An alternative, both easy and secure, might be that both of you set up a VPN between both of you.
Your VPN will create a virtual interface, that basically doesn't need a a firewall, but it only accessible over your private network. What you and your friend (well, only the "server") needs to do, is open one port.
I use openVPN for this, which is free and open source. And you can run this over obscure UDP ports.. so all portscanners will see, is -say- UDP port 38492 which is open.. and all traffic have to be encrypted and authenticated anyways.
Hope this helps, it improved my gameplay

If you are using Unix/Linux there are commands for that. I believe you should look up "ln". If you are using MS windows, then you need to start looking at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/aa365503.aspx to see how it can be done. I do remember a program called "junction.exe" written by a company and supplied for free to the public, but I can't seem to find it right now.

That's quite impossible without knowing what the error is.

I encountered similar problem few days back. Turns out to be a virus that creeped in causing it. You may try running antiviru.
In my case, if I tried to run some exe after booting computer, it causes computer to restart. See if your problem is similar to this.

COnsult McAfee technical support. Alternatively, uninstall it and try a different anti-virus package - I use Grisoft's AVG.

When i starting my desktop, I have got a error saying that "Bad CMOS and CMOS Failed, press F1 to continue". I pressed F1 and it took me too CMOS setup, where i just saved and exit. The system got restarted and there is no display after that. Even the Ram checking sound also not comes there after. I tried replacing the CMOS battery as only solution i know, but it doesnt work out too.
Will anyone provide me possible cause, and also a soltion which will recify my problem.
Thanks in advance,
Uma Shanker. K

The CMOS seems to be invalid. That could be an (rather unusual) hardware failure, the result of a aborted BIOS-flashing attempt, or the result of a virus deliberately damaging it.
You can try one more thing: there might be a jumper on your mainboard that clears the CMOS, usually labeled "CLEAR CMOS" on the MB. Power down your computer, set that jumper and power it on for a few seconds, then power it down, reset the jumper and start the computer again. If that works, however, you will have to reconfigure your BIOS.
If it does not work, the easiest way to regain access to your PC would be to replace the mainboard. You might have a socketed BIOS, but depending on the age of your computer, it is a major pain in the bottom to find a suitable replacement.
Additionally, if you buy a new MB, do NOT start your computer immediately after. If a virus caused the problem, it will probably damage your new MB as well. If you need the data on your HDD, buy a new HDD, install Windows and an up-to-date antivirus software onto the new HDD, and then mount and scan the old HDD.
Cheers,
Sebastian

I have problem friends, My computer when I install The winnows XP.
when finish the install, there is no display, where is the problem???
|
|
|
|
|
Does the install finish successfully?
If not, when does it stop/halt?
Í know that Windows uses low res graphics for installation, but switches to something more useful after installation. Maybe the driver Windows uses for your graphics adapter is not compatible. In that case, try restarting the computer, pressing F8 after the POST-Screen and,if that menu pops up, press "Safe Mode". Does that work? If it does, remove the old driver and install a new, compatible driver.
If the installation does not finish at all, try installing as far as possible, then reboot and try to "repair" the installation you began. That might or might not work.
You can also try to boot Knoppix or another Linux-LiveCD, just to see if they have similar problems. Also, with Linux, it is easier to identify a faulty piece of hardware.
Cheers,
Sebastian

I don't have any sample code that is easy to get to, sorry. There are lots of examples on various web sites, including Microsoft's and this one, in lots of different languages on how to use WMI.
As for where different pieces of info are, download the WmiTools.exe from microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6430f853-1120-48db-8cc5-f2abdc3ed314&displaylang=en and it will let you browse the entire WMI space. You can find which class contains the info you are looking for.
