I'm looking for protection for a workstation...

Hi! What firewall and anti-virus software do you gous run? I have tied alot of combos but that can't decide wich one to go with. Here are my cons and pros: Norton Anti Virus 2004 Pros: Good, solid Cons: Resource hog Comment: I used to run this an liked it quite a bit until I one day found a virus on my laptop with an online webscan and NAV didn't find it! I don't trust it anymore... It's quite slow and I don't like the user interface that much Norton Personal Firewall 2003 Pro: Good configuration options, stable Cons: Slow and a resource hog, not so nice interface Comments: A good firewall. Sometimes it could be tricky to find the way in the gui wich is very slow. Otherwise a good firewall Symantec Personal Firewall Pro I couldn't get this to work with my network. Whenever I'm connected to the domain server netmount mounts a couple of network drives for me and I couldn't get this firewall to permit netmount to run. I tried do disable the firewall but still netmount couldn't be run. So no cons or pros here cause I couldn't get it to work... Symantec Anti Virus Corporate 8 Pros: Good, solid, quite fast, nice interface, stays in the background and does what it should Cons: None that I have found Comments: I would have run this If NAV2004 didn't failed for me as it did. Since this is the same comany I don't trust this one either. Panda Anti-Virus Pros: Quite fast, I like the interface alot Cons: It crashes quite often. Comments: I like this one. It's quite fast and I love the interface. I tested Panda Platinum 7 wich includes the firewall. I don't like the firewall. It has to few options. The anti-virus part would be great if it didn't crach as much as it did for me. From what I have heard Panda is a good anti vrus and they have been in the game for a long time. McAfee Internet Security Suite 6 Pros: Nice Interface Cons: Slow, unstable, lot of problem in the privace service with my network and domain controller. Comments: I had to unistall the privacy service to gain access to my mounted network drives. I like the inteface wich is quite like the one ion Panda. But the virus search is slow and takes a long time. These are the firewall and anti-virus I have tried. I can't decide wich one to use since none work 100% for me. I would like to here your opinions about the firewall you have tried and how they worked out for you...[/b]

What is really xp embedded? I have a windows based gameserver that all it does is to run hlds (Half-life dedicated server), a small mysql server to store banned players, a small webserver with php to display some minir stats about the server and remote desktop so I can connect to the server... Would I benifit to run windows xp embeded? Would it improve my performance? How do I work with embeded? Do you install it like the normal xp OS just that it is installed without alot of stuff? Could I just install embeded and on that install my gameserver,database and webserver and have a really small optimized gameserver? Would that be possible?

How can I schedule my 2003 server machine to reboot every night at a certain time?

Actually, my profile info I doeansät really matter. What I don't want is to have an domain admin to rejoin my computer... But I guess that isn't possible... After the format and reinstall of xp I want my computer to still be a member of the domain... I guess that isn't possible...

Do you mean ro create a system restore point? Or what backup utility do you mean?

If I remove my mebership in the domain I can't rejoin again... Isn't there a way I can backup some config and import it after an install so the computer thought that I was a member of the domain all the time...?

The domain server is setup not to allow me to rejoin... Wh I donät know, it's the way the network is setup...

How can I keep the domain membership? Is it possible?

Hi! Is it possible to export/backup a user in xp? On my laptop I have a user that is a member of the domain in school. Is it possible to backup this user so I can re-format my laptop and import the user afterwords and still be a member of the domain? Do you think this is possible?

Cause I want to run två gameservers on the same machine but on different IP's.

I know that it's possbile to have two statics IP on one physical NIC. But is it possbile to have to dynamic IP numbers on one physical NIC? My ISP allows me to have five ip's. So I wonder if I can have two ip's on one nic? I'm running windows 2003 server. Is there any negative side on having two ip on one nic instead of having two nics?

How can I change the cd-key on windows .net server?

True, I only use the server for web and game server now. I moved to apache as for webserver since it works much better with php. Boy was that a speed improvement I have tweak the services but it still consumes a lot of memory. Much more that 2k server.

I did that and it works, but it dowsnät work that good. Sometimed I ger Error 500 Internal server error. Then I have to restart the webservice. And its very slow too. But that could be the mysqlö database but I don't belive it is.
