Windows 7 - Preventing Cisco VPN From Interrupting Home Super User?
Aug 28, 2012
I just got a new laptop, and for the most part have left its settings alone. Today I was trying to get some sharing going between my desktop and the laptop. Both machines are connected to the same wireless network and both machines consider that network to be a Home network. Both are running Win7 Home Premium. It seems like my laptop is aware of my desktop on the network. It can ping it by IP or by computer name. When I go to Network from the laptop, I can see the desktop in the list of computers. However, my desktop cannot ping the laptop, nor can it see it within Network. My desktop has a Homegroup set up, but my laptop says "There is currently no homegroup on the network". I do have network discovery turned on for both machines. Why can my desktop not "talk" to my laptop but it works the other way around?
Update: Disabling the Windows Firewall on the laptop somewhat fixes the problem. With it disabled, my desktop can ping my laptop, but still my laptop can't see the homegroup. Also, it can ping via hostname, which resolves to IPv6, but can't ping via the IPv4 address. Obviously I'd rather not leave my firewall disabled, so I need a more specific fix.
Update 2: Aha! It is the Cisco VPN software I was running to connect to work computers. Once I disconnected and exited from that, the two PCs seemed to be talking normally and the homegroup was visible to the laptop. So now my question has morphed: how can I prevent Cisco VPN from interrupting my home networking?

I'm building my own home server based on Ubuntu with 4 drives in RAID 10. Its primary purpose will be NAS and backup.Would I be making a terrible mistake by building a NAS Server with a single Gigabit NIC?
I know the absolute max I can get out of a single Gigabit port is 125MB/s, and I want this NAS to be able to handle up to 6 computers accessing files simultaneously, with up to two of them streaming video.
With Ubuntu NIC-bonding and the performance of RAID 10, I can theoretically double my throughput and achieve 250MB/s (ok, not really, but it would be faster). The drives have an average read throughput of 83.87MB/s according to Tom's Hardware.
The unit itself will be based on the Chenbro ES34069-BK-180 case. With my current hardware choices, it'll have this motherboard with a Core i3 CPU and 8GB of RAM. Overkill, I know, but this server will be doing other things as well (like transcoding video).Unfortunately, the only Mini-ITX boards I can find with dual-gigabit and 6 SATA ports are Intel Atom-based, and I need more processing power than an Atom has to offer.
I would love to find a board with 6 SATA ports and two Gigabit LAN ports that supports a Core i3 CPU. So far, my search has come up empty. Thus, my dilemma.Should I hold out for such a board, go with an Atom-based solution, or stick with my current single-gigabit configuration?
I know there are consumer NAS units with just one gigabit interface (probably most of them), but I think I will demand a lot more from my server than the average home user.

I have an old Toshiba Satellite 4015CDT, with Pentium II MMX, 32MB RAM, 4GB HDD. It also has one USB 1.0 port, parallel and serial ports, a 3.5" floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive (probably almost dead). I've installed NetBSD on this machine (full install) and now I want to connect it to the Internet. Although it has one PCMCIA modem card in it, it is obviously not an option.
I've narrowed down my available options to the following:
Connect a USB wireless adapter. I have a Realtek RTL8192U adapter, but although the system gives me the device's name (through dmesg) it fails to recognize it as a network adapter. Connect the laptop to another machine through a serial connection, so that the other machine will serve as a bridge to the Internet. Here is the page from the NetBSD documentation on serial connections. Unfortunately, I was not able to find anything on bridging there.
Status update: tried installing a driver for my adapter using NDISulator on NetBSD. However, the kernel compilation failed. See here.
Status update #2: tried installing using NDISwrapper on Damn Small Linux (kernel 2.4.31). Although the driver installs and ndiswrapper -l shows hardware is present, I cannot configure the network interface (doesn't show up in ifconfig -a and iwconfig). It seems like this adapter is not supported by NDISwrapper (at least it's not mentioned on their wiki.

Normally use internet explorer 9, but I've tried Firefox and Chrome also.For some weird reason the Wi-Fi on my computer is super slow. My roommate has no problems at all. Same issue when only one of us are connected. What's really weird is that it's only on my home network the speed is a problem. At school and at other family members houses everything is working perfectly. I now use wired internet connection, and when I take a speedtest it is around 13MB, so the speed is pretty good.
I can mention that sometimes if my computer has been closed and the cable is taken out, when I turn the computer back on the Wi-Fi is suddenly working perfectly. Only for a while though, and then it's not working anymore. Has happened more rarely recently.I've been having this problem for around 7weeks now. When I first discovered the problem I tried to uninstall the latest updates (among windows updates), and it actually worked. But I want my computer to be up to date, so it's not a go to use those settings.
I have tried to reset the router to factory settings, but that did not work.We share internet with our landlord, so to privatize what we do, it's set up like this: Landlords modem -> switch in our apartment -> wireless router But that should not be problem. It's working on everyone else's computers. My mobile phone as no issues either;I've tried to update the driver on the wireless card, but it's up to date.

Home Group on Windows 7. I have added a room mate to my home group (just two of us in group). I don't want either of us to be able to view or share files, folders, etc. I think I've done everything on my end: turned off Network Discovery; turned off file and printer sharing; turned off Public Folder sharing. Also turned off automatic file/printer sharing in Norton firewall.
1) do I need to do anything else, and;
2) what does room mate have to do on his computer (if anything)?
I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this out on my own but somehow I don't feel quite sure that all my files/folders are not viewable by anyone else.

However, only some of them remain, so I will describe them again here.My router (Belkin) was working fine for over a year. Everything seemed to be working just fine, then this happened to me once but the problem disappeared itself. However, day after that, it happened again after I restarted my notebook.Basically, my connection drops out for few seconds every few tens of seconds. This means that I get regular lags several times within every single minute. Here is screen from "ping [routerIP] -t".imgur: the simple image sharerQuite frustrating, huh... This is only wireless-related issue, connecting to the router directly using RJ-45 solves the problem.
I have tried restarting and reconfiguring the router, including changing SSID, Channels, turning off security, restarting and restoring factory defaults.My notebook seems to be the only PC having this issue (however, I have not been able to test that out yet, but the problems seemed to come exactly after a PC restart, very unlikely a coincidence). I have tried removing windows network profiles, restarting several times, setting a static IP and removing browser proxy settingsI have been trying to google the solution, but all I found were already known (and not working) solutions, also, everyone seems to be having a less frequent drops (few times in a day, or an hour, I would love that xD).

According to the documentation, I'm supposed to be hitting the Esc key when I see the Loading "flash:/[imagename]" ####### ... line, but this doesn't seem to be working. I've tried hitting the Esc key a lot during those lines, holding it down, hitting it early, hitting it late, hitting it in the middle, and still no joy.
I'm trying to break into a handful of malfunctioning 1242AG APs to see if I can get them working, or if they're faulting hardware that's beyond repair. (So far they're all coming back with: no "IP_ADDR" variable set, so how to set that without breaking out of the boot cycle).

I run a home private server on Centos 5.5 I believe. A while ago, a surge destroyed a different computer with pictures on it that my parents would like to access. The hard drive itself is just fine, and I've backed up those files on an external hard drive. What I would like to do is allow my parents to access them through Samba. Samba has already been in long time use, but it is configured to only allow access in a jail inside each user's home folder on the root hard drive. I have a suitable hard drive already formatted and mounted that can fit all the pictures that they wish to have access too. What I'd like to do, is change the path that one of my users use to the mounted hard drive.

Two part question: First is there a way to create a smart tunnel link on a user's home page like you have on the main portal page of the ASA 5550? I see the code that it is using but have not been able to get this to work. Here is that code;
<a href="javascript: parent.doURL('756767633A2F2F70676B636562712E7070757A702E6265742F50766765766B2F4B72614E63632F6E6867752F79627476612E6E66636B',[{name : 'user', value : 'CSCO_WEBVPN_USERNAME'},{name : 'password', value :
[Code]....
Second question when will MACs be able to auto start smart tunnel when the user first logs into WebVPN? Right now the only way I know of starting a smart tunnel on a MAC is a link on the main portal page. I am running code 8.3.2.13

We want to set up a wireless user group in our town between a few friends and new people who are interested to join. As far as I heard I don't need a ICASA License for the 5.8GHz Frequency if we are using it for a non profit orginization, so we may use that.
1 x Routerboard
3 x Radio Plugin Boards
3 x 120degree Antennas
to set up a 360degree HS (Highsite).Then at each person's house we will need:
1 x Routerboard
1 x Radio Plugin Board
1 x Whichever Antenna
Is that correct? Then also if we wanto run VoIP on our network, how do I do that? Basicly we want to use it for gaming, file sharing and VoIP. No Internet of anything else.

Internet VERY choppy on one computer, has happened on more than one network, both wireless and wired. I've even reinstalled Windows 7 on the machine from scratch the problem is still there.The internet goes VERY slow like 10 minutes a page sort of slow. Almost feels like its being choked but from what i can see theres no programs taking bandwidth etc.I've searched all over the net and can't find anything. I can give any information needed.The machine is currently on wireless but the wireless signal is great as i use other device on it in the same area and there perfect.

I used the ASA 5510 and in these days, facing the problem is internet is very slow. When i check in real-time log viewer debugging, i found the following logs 6|Jun 29 2011|15:47:53|106015|123.123.123.123|416|111.222.111.222|80|Deny TCP (no connection) from 123.123.123.123/416 to 111.222.111.222/80 flags ACK on interface Inside 4|Jun 29 2011|15:47:53|106023|123.123.123.123|852|111.222.111.222|80|Deny tcp src Inside:123.123.123.123/852 dst Outside: 111.222.111.222/80 by access-group "Internal_access_in" [0x0, 0x0] a lot of log message are come out and I notice that 111.222.111.222 ip is try to attack my network. In that moment, my network is very slow and nearly to be down. When I block with that ip by access list, network is up again. But after a few moment, attack from other ip, it's so terrible and so tired to block a lot of ip by acl.

I had my Dir-655 router for over a year & this is is a first.My firmware is 1.21 & I only use my router for gaming when I'm not on my PC for home use. I have only one PC in the house that is not shared, I have also not downloaded any virus or maleware.So the past month I decided to buy a wired ethernet cord to connect to my gaming systems rather than using the wireless option to get an extra bit of speed. That has been working fine up till yesterday when all of a sudden my download speeds dropped from around 20Mb down to barely 1Mb down (I can't even get the speed test site to fully load anymore). The upload & ping remains unchanged though. Only my Download speed is being affected. This is both when I'm on the PC & when I'm online gaming.
I unplugged my D-Link router & plugged my modem directly to my PC & I got back the 20+Mb speed, so the modem or cable company are not at fault (I even called them to see if there were any problems on there end).
-I tried turning off my Firewall on my PC.
-Resetting & rebooting both my modem/router/PC.
-using different DNS numbers.
-using /flushdns.
-using /Iprenew.
-Messing around with my router configurations such as:
turning off QoS Engine.
turning off wireless.
turned of MAC filtering.
unchecked "Add DHCP Reservation".
unchecked SIP.
None of it worked. I'm still browsing at around 56k dial up speed for the past day+!I read up on the internet for similar problems, but the only solutions I saw was turning off the firewall on the PC, but that hasn't worked at all.

I have a win xp laptop which connects via wireless to a cheap belkin router I have a Win 7 pro laptop which is hardwired to the router. The Win 7 machine is NOT set up for home groups. We are all on the same workgroup.
I have added the user name from the XP machine to the Win 7 pro machine with admin rights. I shared a folder on Win 7 and added the user name and gave read/write rights. I have no software firewall.
When I try to connect via win explorer via the workgroup I see the Win 7 machine (after 10 seconds). I see 'User' folder which I can browse and I see the folder that I shared but I can't access it. Access denied...

Been catching wind of an upcoming super fast router....the Asus RT-66U.Currently their RT-N56U has been the fastest router tested at smallnetbuilder....at over 800 megs throughput.The new RT-66U has a 600MHz processor, and 1 gig of RAM. State table size (concurrent sessions) at over 300,000.
Supposed to be based on the Broadcom chipset..so it'll probably support DD-WRT...but to be honest, I saw some screenies of the Asus firmware for this unit...and holy crap what cool features.url...

I've got an RVS4000 router with the latest firmware - V2.0.0.3, and just setup Dynamic DNS on it. However as I access the url of the Dynamic DNS, I get pointed to the routers web backend/GUI, which is natural as it's situated on port 80 of the router.
To prevent the whole interwebs from accessing my router's settings, I've quickly forwarded port 80 to a non-existent IP on my LAN. However this solution feels a bit fragile, so how can I ensure that only computers from inside my LAN can access the routers GUI?

This is just a tip that we used on our controllers that I wanted to pass along. We were having issues with unwanted access points associating to our controllers. We had a stack of older 1242s that came up missing and hit our network. On way we came up with to prevent this was to number all of our wlans above I'd # 16 on the controller. By default the default ap group allows all wlans from 1 to 16. By starting with 17 we are not allowing any SSIDs in the default group. All if our production access points are in their own ap groups. Any access point that hits our controllers that has not been configured with the correct ap group name will be in the default ap group and will not be servicing any SSIDs.I know there are other ways to set this up but this was a tricky way for us to set it up and see who calls about there wireless not working.

Just upgraded my E4200 to firmware 1.0.03 (from 1.0.01). I have some new issues, questions, and some outstanding issues.
1) Web interface over https is now painfully slow.
2) Does DDNS work in bridge mode? DynDNS allows the sending of an update without an IP address, so it should be able to work.
3) Does accessing the management interface in bridge mode count as local or remote?
4) I'd really like to be able to get WOL working through the router. I managed to create a static DHCP reservation for 192.168.1.254 to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, but I don't think the router added that entry to the ARP table, is there any way to do this.
(I think have WOL forwarded to 192.168.1.254). 5) Should the router be providing some local dns hostnames? For example I have the device name set up in the local network setup, but it won't resolve. Similar for connected devices, especially those with with a DHCP reservation. 6) In bridge mode, does it matter which port is used to connect to the other network device? Does it have to be the WAN port?

prevent someone from putting their computer on a network with a static ip that is already on the network so it does not cause a conflict. I'll try to do the short version of what happeend (ip numbers wont be accurate) has his laptop with him set to a static ip of 192.168.0.1 and connects it to our network and our file server which is also the dhcp and dns is set to that ip address. So when he connected it it basically brought down our whole network....

Is there a way to prevent resetting catalyst config by pressing and holding in the MODE button after powerup? I had entered in a basic config into my switch including passwords, etc. and was checking out different uses of the MODE button including setting the switch into express mode and I somehow managed to wipe the config and send the switch back into a default state by holding the mode button in for too long.
I want to prevent this from happening once the switch it is in production.
Not sure if it matters, but this is the 24 S model using the LAN lite image..
