Dude, listen to me...enjoy your last moments in college as if there was no tomorrow. Real life SUCKS (at least nowadays if you're a fresh CS graduate looking for a job). PS - and your intelligence level is pretty much average, i.e ur not a genius on 2 legs, having NSA and NASA knocking at your door, begging you to take their job offers PPS - By CS graduate I mean Computer Science, NOT Counter-Strike

I have an Asus V7100Pro. That is a GeForce2 MX-400 w/32 RAM and 2 tv-outs (Coax & SVideo). It can output video at 1024x768 Coupled with my 1333 MHz TBird it can be a bit of a bottleneck, but I really don't notice any slowdowns in FPS games or whatever. Besides, benchmark numbers don't turn me on that much...

MIS courses left me with a bad taste in my mouth during my college years Bla,bla,bla...uninterresting stuff, if you know what I mean.

Uhh, the final version is out for a couple of days now

Muhuhahaha, Fekalen...good job man. Clutch sez that it looks like a Nimda zombie, he could be right. If the remote machine tried to execute a shell prompt, that doesn't mean he necessarly DID it.

Boot with any non bootable CD (audio, data) in the drive, and wait until it "establishes network connections" after login. See if it does it again...

Maybe if you checked the parallel port settings in BIOS, you can get it to work as parralel.

Use Norton Ghost to make an image of your partition, and burn it on CDs. You can restore Windows from those CDs later on...

Bad CD? What PC do you have? What XP version is that?

Its the chip not the card. There are a lot of manufacturers out there that build cards based on this GF2 MX400 chip. And yes, it has some hardware DVD decoding capabilities, but not as good as with ATI cards. I think it cannot do iDCT, im not sure tho.

LiteOn 12101B 12x write 10x rw 32x read BurnProof + 2MB Cache CloneCD loves it too

Man..if it works then LEAVE IT ALONE, lol

What kind of log format are you using for IIS? - IIS Standard - IIS Standard with UserID - IIS Standard with SessionID - IIS Standard with User&SessionID Or extended with all the options above.... Actually on a closer look I think it's the Standard IIS format. The format is the following: hostname, auth user, date, time, service, server name, virtual host, server response, bytes received, bytes sent, status, window status, method, resource, query string This corresponds to: 206.166.234.62, -, 11/12/2001, 12:48:17, W3SVC1, HEADHUNTER, 206.228.118.165, 0, 72, 3387, 404, 3, GET, /scripts/root.exe, /c+dir, W3SVC is the WWW service, so you can say for sure it was sent to the WWW server, not the FTP or other. Before you try to figure out what happened, do some more research on the incoming IP. Also try to run the exploits on your own, see how deep can you get on your own machine. I doubt IIS permits remote execution of shell commands via WWW, lol. Check your permissions as well. No more ideas, maybe someone else is brighter. ---------------------- On second thoughts, by looking at the "method" field, I think is self-explanatory. The attacker tried to execute a cmd.exe by giving an URL, and got the 404 error all the way, except for one case when IIS returned a 500 error; 404 means page not found I hope that was it, couldn't bet on it though

I tried WinGate and it completely phucked up my machine. So that's a no-go. I tried a very small app, freeware, but I forgot the name...did the job

Wait a sec...wasn't IPX support officially removed from XP?

I guess my wording is confusing: when i said XP and GF3 I was thinking of either one of them, or both together. So just by running the new Dets on XP they claim they have some performance improvements.

Do you have the Firewall enabled by any chance?

Puts you in some odd place..hmmm, if that place is away from any enemies, then that's fine with me. I'll leave the mouse settings untouched

Sorry to disappoint you JBrave715, but you still have a Via component on your mobo. The Epox 8K7A is a hybrid chipset, AMD761 Northbridge + VIA686B Southbridge...The VIA bridge is however a second revision (hence the , they claim to have fixed the VIA+Creative bug. (involves the IDE channels actually, that's why the southbridge is hit). The 8KHA+ is a kickass board, pure KT266A chipset, better memory performance. This is what the DDR platform was ment to be.

COuld it be the Nvidia driver versions that are "optimized" for XP and GeForce 3?

PB maybe cannot stop the new ones, but it can surely stop all of the old ones...kinda narrows it down. You can always try to bust the lama thru screenies. Looks like IIS 5.0 is running as default, make sure you stop it or uninstall it.

Helllooooooooo?????? Counter-Strike anyone??????

It would be easier and faster to use a Firewall. You can shut down ports, among other things. Try www.tinysoftware.com for a good rated firewall (for personal use it's freeware). Or if you have a cable/dsl connection, get yourself a router. You can do more fancy stuff with it, like NATing, port redirection, DHCP,etc. All configurable via browser. From looking at your last port, I would suggest you use a Punkbuster server too That would complicate your port range selection though...

Maybe some of you already knew about it, but my NT administrators didn't In a DOS window, press F7 to get a graphical history listing of all commands you ran in the current session. Also, if you press repeatedly F7 and ENTER while running a "ping -t " you will KILL your box! Lol, I even tried it myself and I ended up rebooting

Yea I had the same board, same problems. I solved it by xtracting the Promise drivers on a floppy and using the "install 3rd party drivers" at setup. I wonder if you have a W2K cd with SP2 built-in, would it work straight away? Cos I think they brought ATA100 support in SP2.
