Can you tell me the network topology of your college LAN? Is there any kind of hardware or appliance firewall installed? Blocking ports or traffic at the perimeter before it leaves for the internet would be the ideal way of taking care of things. If there is no perimeter blocking device then...

What is the result that you get when you ping some other host on the LAN? On top of my head I believe its a physical connection issue.Have you checked continuity between the two end of the crimped CAT5 cable? Check it with a Multi-meter & fix the cable if required i.e re- crimp it.

They sure want to expand their network but if i'm not wrong then ADSL is distance dependent i.e distance between the line connection & the telephone exchange should not be more than 18,000 feet[5,460 meters] to be precise. So it wont help if their exchange is within the specified distance...

Naa i'm not couting on some intruder from outside is carrying a attack,it may be a possibility but its rare.I wont trust the guy you contacted if I were you. Instead I would send the log file attached & email a small note to your ISP to take notice of it.I understand very few ISP's care about...

The firewall has blocked internet access to your computer ( NETBIOS Session ) from 203.76.***.*** <---( my ip address ) ( TCP PORT 4849 , 485 TCP FLAG S. Are you sure that IP address is your system IP address indeed? Which ISP is this? Does it have a LAN within the ISP network? I'll break it...

Yeps its the w32.blaster worm using the RPC DCOM vulnerability of unpatched systems. But according to me your AV problem was because maybe there is a setting in Kaspersky which blocks internet activity upon request[which is highly unlikely] but you may as well give a glance over the settings...

Jeez I had replied to this thread,where did my reply go? Anyways can you give us a few details regarding the TCP/IP settings,workgroup name & firewalls present if any?That should get us started to troubleshooting. I assume all the physical connections[crimping & the network cards] are working...

Here is a excellent link which explains the various bluetooth & wireless attacks. Trifinite Group-Bluetooth & other wireless attacks There are applications too for testing out bluetooth[bluesnarf & bluebug vulnerabilities to be precise] like the Bloover application which can be installed on a...

Ahaa awesome news ! Thanks for the heads up mate. This was one of the best tweaking destinations especially for XP.Good that its back from the dead.

I believe windows server 2003 does a much better job having active directory,DHCP,DNS installed serving resources than as a workstation OS much like XP.But thats just me.No hard feelings or offence meant to anyone.

Just make sure the "permissions" set for the shared folders are appropriate.Most of the times its this simple things which cause problem. Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled under the TCP/IP properties? If not then enable & look under network places if they show up.

Yes thats true,the machine acting as a router will have to be on 24/7 or whenever you or your brother need internet connectivity. But with a standalone router device thats not the case,this is the right option imho. As far as your questions go, 1.The BSNL technical people should configure it...

OT: :O :O :O Darky's TE account got hacked for sure,this is not the darky that I know of :rofl:

Which ISP broadband connection do you have? Cause afaik most ISP's now give routers/modems for sale too.Atleast my ISP airtel does.It costs around 2-3k if i'm not wrong.The ADSL router to be precise. As far as buying from the various brands like dlink,netgear available I'm not aware of the...

I wish what you said were true. http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/blankfont_a.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/onehop_a.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/bootton_a.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/doomboot_a.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/commwarrior_b.shtml Although your...

If they are talking of Deep Packet Inspection then I dont know how it doesnt have a engine which has to be updated with the signature from the database along with heuristic analysis.This baffles me the most,I've not seen this in action so I cant comment but the jargon that such products use...

Yeps go for a switch anytime.Although it wont make much of a difference while gaming w.r.t collisions domains as experienced in a hub.A switch is a worth buy considering the fact that you may as well share resources & the cost difference is not much.With that being said All the best !

I meant to say you could use PVC pipe for protecting agaisnt outdoor factors.Sounds lame & maybe no such thing exists in the indian market but a little trial & error should help you in deciding. Also earlier I forgot,I would advise to do a survey & deploy the maximum end point first & notice...

There wont be atleast in theory.But make sure all the cables are handled with i.e bends,twists result in bad signal through the cable which may as well result in a cable cut somewhere. How have you thought of wiring it all up? I mean I would suggest cabling & casing if its gonna be totally...

Ahha mate this is not a sure shot way of troubleshooting but pinging a network card which has been assigned a IP address statically normally should yield echo replies back. Replies mean that the network card is responding to the requests made.Dont count me on this but I'm afraid you may have...
