Your problem seems to be that you havent configured the IP address settings under each host's network connections. The 169.254.x.x is a Automatic Private IP Addressing[APIPA] which the host recieves once if its unable to get a IP address either from a DHCP server or if its unable to get it due...

Yeah try pinging each from the other.Also disable firewalls if any including the default windows in sp2.Though I doubt its because of a firewall,since a crash is a strange. Also could you post the details of the IP address,subnet...blah blah configured under each?

Indeed but if i'm blocking ICMP echo requests/replies by using a firewall or by using this method which works in Windows 2000/XP/2003 : How can I configure a Windows 2000/XP/2003 computer to block Ping packets? Here is a simple example , Microsoft.com blocks ping echo requests from hosts dude...

You mean blocking ICMP echo replies to the echo requests made by a host at the firewall end? Dude bosky no offence mate but I would like to know your clarification on this, I've read the ICMP protocol pretty well & if I'm wrong then please let me know but by blocking ICMP messages you are no...

You can use Tor for staying anonymous by hiding your IP address.Though you better read the faq & docs to get a better understanding. Info & Download

No problem.Glad it helped.

I believe you are confusing this.No offence mate but we are talking bout changing a hard coded mac address of a network card. Correct.But wont both be still with "their" mac address when connected in the network? What are you achieving in the first place by doing that? Where as the original...

It would depend on your budget & what exactly you want to do. Wireless gear is expensive right now as compared to wired where the only requirements are Network card,a hub/switch depending upon how many computers you want to connect & UTP CAT 5 of appropriate length. Si incase you dont need the...

Batty I've used Deep Freeze myself I completely agree with the first 2 parts of your reply.Though I had used it quite sometime back so I dont know if things have changed as yet. Deep Freeze does help when there are conflicts,registry ,OS problems.So there are various aspects for using it other...

I dont know from where you got piece of information but let me explain. MAC stands for Media access Control.Its a 6 byte[48 bit] address that is hard coded into the network card.So just swapping cards from one computer to another just doesnt change the mac address. MAC address are refered when...

Smoothwall running on a old rig.

Its really strange... but you may as well check the respective stop error information 0X0000008e & 0X0000007e Under one of the above I believe its: Could you check event viewer & reply here about errors under system & application? Start>run>eventvwr.msc

For the past couple of months I've been using NOD32.Fast & light on resources.Though I've read it has a decent detection rate.But I've been fairly satisfied with it. Its not freeware though,trialware for 30 days.

Yeah you could.But that would depend on what exatly you want to do.You could use a remote software like UltraVNC which allows connecting remote clients & even transfer files[though this would seriously depend on your pipe[internet connection]]. Though thus sounds easier with a normal topology...

P.S:Mistakingly I posted this here in this section.MODS may as well move it under the appropriate section.Sorry for the trouble. :) Down below i've listed common networking problems,troubleshooting methods & tips that I experienced when I was setting up a network.Its virtually impossible to...

I had seen this problem in many message boards.They even got it even though they had scanned for virus & spyware & were clean.The problem hasnt been clearly pointed out though.

Well I for one was in need of making the most of what I had apart from the main rig which I use for all purposes. With a couple of old machine lying around I couldnt store them there lying dust can I? :hap5: Mission: I wanted one machine to act as a firewall :cool2: The machine specs are a...

Agreed.But that makes you use those anonymous proxy server's which you've no diea who's controlling? Let me ask you this,how do you find & trust that machine? Also could you list other reasons as well ,maybe it could add a layered sense of security to what I already practise.

Thats a scary to know.But you may as well back those statements with a couple of trustable links? I make up my mind that way more faster. Afterall every software is known to have bugs,no 100% code ! Anyways Winproxy is good too which I've already mentioned in the proxy thread.
