    - NDTG (NetDesicion Traffic Grapher) (MRTG/PRTG type application) The NetDecision Traffic Grapher (http://www.netmechanica.com/products/?prod_id=1022) monitors network and bandwidth usage as well as various other network parameters like memory usage and CPU utilization, providing system administrators with live readings and periodical usage trends to optimize the efficiency, layout, and setup of leased lines, switches, routers, firewalls, servers, and other network components. NetDecision Traffic Grapher is an easy to use software that monitors network parameters via SNMP or using custom scriptable polling agents. It allows you to quickly and easily set up and run a monitoring station for networks. With just a few mouse clicks you can log the amount of data flowing through routers, monitor CPU and RAM utilization, check disk space usage, etc. The most common case is monitoring the bandwidth usage of leased lines, routers, and firewalls via SNMP. You can also monitor many other aspects of your network environment and computer infrastructure. NDTG provides out-of-the-box graphs and dashboards for CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space usage, interface utilization, service response times, interface errors etc. This helps users gain better visibility into the performance of servers, routers and switches and the overall network. NDTG makes network performance monitoring effortless to set up and users can quickly get live, daily, weekly, monthly, annual or custom period graphs out-of-the-box. NDTG allows users to setup monitoring of custom SNMP MIB variables. Traffic Grapher makes network performance monitoring truly vendor- independent. You only need access to the SNMP MIBs provided by your vendor. Traffic Grapher allows you to monitor critical parameters of any device and setup thresholds. NDTG simplifies the process of setting up initial monitoring configuration by discovering network devices such as routers, switches, servers, printers etc automatically.

    - Network troubleshooting tips? (slow file transfer) I'm looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot a network I'm having some problems with. It's just a simple peer-to-peer, with about ten workstations. Most of the PCs are WinXP Pro but the PC I'm having problems with is our 'file' server and it has Win2K SP4 installed on it. It does very little else other than act as a File Server and a Daily Backup (automated). It's been fine for about two years but suddenly, and I mean very suddenly, the file copy time from one PC to another has increased dramatically. I have some automated jobs that copy a lot of files across the network (a couple hundred files, ranging in size from 5kb to 20mb) and this job used to take about 5-6 minutes. Now it takes over 20. Also, this network is 'isolated'; it has absolutely no Internet access (not even physically). Even so, I ran Spybot and an AV program to check and see if something had inadvertantly been added. These programs came up negative. I ran Network Monitor which showed that indeed the slowdown is with network traffic. At times, the data transfer speed is as low as 50-60kb/sec. Most of the network cards we use are 10mbs (a few are 100mbs). I've checked the task manager and it shows very little CPU usage even during the file transfers. I've checked the disk space and we're using only about 50gb out of the 150gb available. 528mb RAM, Pentium IV, some ASUS motherboard. Rebooted a couple of times, no joy. File copy 'within' the local drive (from Drive C t Drive C) is fine. I doubt that anyone has tinkered with the PC or the network settings as no one really has access to that room, and wouldn't know what to do to screw it up anyway. It's my job to screw it up. :) Ugh... I really, really, really get discouraged with Windows occasionally... Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 234054

    - W2K3 Server Logon Script Question... I have 2 DC's in my environment.

    - Windows 2000 Pro. sp4 crashes my router. I have a Airlink 101 AR680W 4 port/wireless router. I have 4 XP sp2 hardwired computers and 3 wireless laptops that work with no problem at all. If I plug in my Windows 2000 Pro. into the router it crashes the router. What I mean by "crash" is that all four of the lights that indicate traffic flow on each port blink at a very fast rate, you can still network on the LAN, but no-one can access the internet, it times out. This sometimes takes an hour or two to happen, other times it happens in seconds. If I unplug the Win. 2000 cable, reset the DSL modem and routher everything works again. I also plugged in a D-Link router and got the same results. I've looked at the MS knowledge base and found a few things that might have been the problem but the fixes didn't work for me. Any help is appriciated. Thanks, Dennis A. Halbasch Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 234030

    - all of a sudden, network password required? I have a 2 computer LAN and it's been working fine, with no problem accessing either computer from the other and moving files around. There are no passwords required for access. Today I had a corruption on one computer's C: drive and had to boot up to another Win2000 installation on the E: drive. Networking is functioning in the sense that the internet works on both computers(via a router), but when I try to access folders in #1 computer from #2 computer via My Network Places, a window pops up requiring a network password, with two lines to be filled, Connect As and Password. I'm stumped here since there is no password that I know of. How can I troubleshoot this. If I try the same type of access from #1 to #2, I get a message that says "the password of this user has expired". But this particular user name has administrator priviledges and also "password never expires" checked. What to do? I'd appreciate some suggestions.

    - Need EMC AX150 help BADLY, lost major share after reboot. HELP A client of mine has a 2003 server environment and a clariion AX1500SCI, he had a backup drive h:\ and then his c: drive was inflated much biggger that usual, which is an HP server acticing as a controller. He also installed Exchange on the server that is dishing out the EMC data. It was a bad purchase, like a10 man office, so they got ripped off. Anyways, this is all iSCSI, and in Navisphere I have 2 virtual disks Backup (drive H: which holds all the backup to disk stuff) and the Data, which houses the roaming profiles and user data, each about 400 GB in size. They are both assigned to the exchange server, and show as connected. Now, within the MS iSCSI initiator properties, I have everything set for both volumes to be persistent, whenI go to the bound voulumes/devices tab I see "H:\" and then "\\?\Volume\9bb23848-fe31-11db-bcbe-0019bbe55910}\". It has been a while since I have used EC, but H does show up in my computer and is browsable, just back-up dats. the other volume doesnt show and should contain the 2 shares and usually fals under c:\, if I try to remove the odd one from the bind tab it says it doesnt exist, but I can remove H:\. I really need to get the DATA, even if I mount it as another drive, anyone have any ideas?? I tried calling EMC, but they were completely useless. Everything was fine until someone rebooted the server. I didn't set this up, the firm that did took off, I am just trying to help them get functioning again.

    - Domain User get another profile I have a Windows 2000 Pro domain user connected to a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. This morning she login, but her desktop, My Documents and Outlook 2002 files are missing. When I check under c:\documents and settings it showed that she has a new profile folder, but her old profile folder still exist. When I went to RegEdit to do a FIND on ProfileList, her old profile information is gone. Is there a reason why a new Profile got create eventhough I did not delete nor create a new AD account for her? Is there a way she can be re-connected to her old profile folder, otherwise I would have to copy all her folders to the new profile folder.

    - cannot see a computer in My Network Places Hi eveyone! I have this issue that has been going on for about 8 months now and i CANT seem to resolve it. If you can help it would be GREAT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Issue: I Have a computer on a remote network that cannot be seen on my windows 2000 server (in My Network Places). HOWEVER, you can type the netbios name in directly and access all the shares on that remote computer. ALSO, you can access the remote computer's shares by typing in the IP address. You can obviously ping the remote computer as well ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been told that it has to do with the browser service, but I dont know how the heck that works (I have printed out the microsoft document, but it was just too confusing) and no-one can give me step-by-step instructions on how to resolve my issue. If someone can help i would be overjoyed!! :D Many Thanks Matt Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233999

    - setup shared pcs I have setup 2 PCs identically. Both have Windows 2000 Professional. Both PCs are sharing a router for Internet access. I have mapped the both hardrives to the other PC to make sure I have some kind of emergency way in...(hopefully). What I would like to do is allow users to login to either PC and their profile to be shared as one common profile so that regardless of which PC they login to, they will see the same profile information... ie. "My Documents" for the user that is logged in would synchronize? to the other PC. Is there a way of doing this? Is there an more viable solution?

    - Laptop does not allow access. I have a small network at home. Once networked in a workgroup each computer can see the others. I have a desktop (1) and two laptops (lets call them computers 2 and 3). Laptop 2 is a HP machine and Laptop 3 is a toshiba. Brand has nothing to do with the problem. Laptop 2 shows up on the network neighborhood directories of the others, but, when the other computers try to access laptop they get the following message. "\\jmlaptop is not accessible. The network path was not found. When I ping the laptop I get it just fine and Laptop #2 can access both of the other coputers just fine. I think I have fixed this before by reinstalling tcp/ip drivers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. JMAC out Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233991

    - VPN Authentication to my Domain The issue is that my 10+ remote users connect to my network via a Nortel Contivity Client. The remote users are members of my Domain, but use cached accounts to logon to their laptops since the Domain/Controllers are not available. Once logged on they connect to the Network via the VPN client. They are connected to the network, but are not authenticated via the DC/Domain. My question is since they logon first, then connect to the network, how can I make the remote machines authenticate to the domain post logging on and using VPN software other than Microsoft and Ras? I have tried to map drives using IP addresses, but the users are prompted for credentials to access the mappings, which that session ends every time they logoff. I would like the remote users to be able to access everything they have permissions to access as if they were connected locally. Iâ??ve tried using the LMHost file to point to the DC and the TCP/IP Advanced setting to point to the DNS server, but that doesnâ??t seem to work to authenticate as if they were local, and they would need to reload it post logon. Also, I want to make this automated so the users donâ??t have to run any special commands, they just have to connect to the VPN and have everything at their finger tips.

    - User profile and logon script doesn't work over VPN I've been setting up an office with 4 clients using VPN to connect to a remote server. The whole idea is to get the user folders centralised so no matter what computer they're on they have the same files, as they move from the LAN to the remote office from time to time. I've got the VPN connection to work just fine. I can browse the LAN without any latency, but the profile settings does not apply when logging in. I want the 'profile' tab in AD to apply for VPN connected users, in the same manner as for the LAN users today. But I can't get it to work, and I've been all over the net trying to find a solution. The closest I get is this: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/inside/techan26.mspx?mfr=true (the topic RRAS, DUN, and the disappearing login script) This doesn't solve my problem though. I'd like to find a solution where I force the client to use the profile tab in AD. If I understand the above article correctly, it's a matter of a 5 second time-out. Is there no way to edit that time-limit? By editing the registry or whatever works... Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233986

    - How to disable "Network Path Not Found" on Start-Up I have my desktop and laptop computers connected together in a peer-to- peer network with Windows 2000. Each morning when I turn on my computers, whichever one I turn on first stalls with a message that says something like "Cannot connect to computer B." Well, of course computer A can't connect to computer B because I haven't gone down to the other end of my apartment to turn on computer B yet. I can't very well be in two places at once can I? In the meantime, of course, Windows stops loading until I come back to the first computer and click a button to continue loading the operating system. There's also a little box that says something like "do not try to restore the connection in the future." Which I dutifully check each time. But the following morning the same thing happens all over again. How can I configure my network connection so that it will not stall Windows start up each morning when I turn on my computer? I'd like to be able to turn on my computer, go the the kitchen to fix a cup of tea and come back to find the operating system loaded and ready to get to work, instead of finding it stalled at that "can't find other computer" roadblock. Ideally I'd like Windows Networking to just wait its turn, and then after the operating system has finished loading, it could check for the network connection, and if it's not found, to just keep checking at regular intervals until I turn on the other computer. Can that be done? Will in Seattle a.k.a. "Clueless" Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233939

    - M'I`5,Persecuti on ' my respons e to th e harassm ent -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= my response to the harassment. -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My first reaction. in 1990/91 was to assume that if I broke contact then they would not be. able to follow and would lose interest. So I did the things that have been suggested. by other people; I sold my television, stopped listening. to the radio and tried to withdraw away from the sources of abuse as much as possible.. I reasoned that they must have more important things. to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone if it were made difficult for them to continue. their harassment. I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness. of the abusers. They did not let up but instead "got to" people around me,. mainly people at work, to do their dirty work for them. I went. to see my GP, who refused to believe what he was being told, and refused to direct me on. to anyone who could be of practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed. that the GP admitted the matter. was outside his competence and suggested going to the police. In the summer of. 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a private detective agency to sweep our house and telephone. for bugging devices. They conducted a thorough search and found nothing;. but as noted above, since the. existence of surveillance was being forced in my face by the harassers, you would. expect them to have taken the possibility of a counter-surveillance sweep. into account when planning the type of devices to be. employed. In Easter 1995. I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but the police have. not expressed any intention to do anything about the continuing harassment ("we're not. saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening" were the. words used). I think the officer I spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of. it happening, although other members of the police force. obviously do know. From April 1995 until the. present time the matter has been discussed in a lot of detail on the Usenet. (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion has given birth to the. article which you are now reading. My hopes in posting to. Usenet were that wider publicizing would discourage the security services from continuing. their harassment, and "draw people out" into concurring with the truth of what. was being said. Neither of those have followed, but the discussion has served a. purpose in allowing this structured report to be. created. 9038 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233930

    - M,I-5,Persecut ion pur pose in pu blicizing it; censorsh ip in u k.* newsgrou ps -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= purpose in publicizing it;. censorship in uk.* newsgroups -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The postings to uk.misc newsgroup generated a very defensive reaction. from Usenet readers in the UK.. So much so, that they tried strenuously to suppress what. was being said, both by breaking the rules of netiquette in their responses on the forum, and directly by action to revoke. the account from. which the postings were issued. Yet the postings were within the normal. boundaries of behaviour for uk.misc, and. other less partisan spectators did not see justice in the censorship which was effected, as the following. excerpt shows; :Karen. Lofstrom (lofstrom@lava.net) wrote :>It. does seem that the frequency and the size of his posts are :>approaching. net abuse. However, IMHO, they aren't quite there yet. If :>his postmaster were to act in this instance, it would. raise troubling :>censorship. issues. The inescapable conclusion of the. censorship effected on the uk.* newsgroups is that the British are intent on their wrongdoing. remaining concealed, and therefore seek to subvert and. suppress freedom of speech, not only in their. own country where the media shows xenophobic bias and bile against all perceived enemies. within and without, but also in other countries which have their own statutes to. guarantee the basic human right of. free speech. It is absolutely necessary to bring their hate campaign out into the. open where it can be placed under scrutiny. and the harassers seen for what they are. That is the only way of making. it impossible for the security services to. carry it out. There is a wider dimension, though. Xenophobia as demonstrated by. British people and institutions over the last few years belongs to the same stable. as racial hatred. In one case, two youths on a Tube train made that racism explicit by referring to their. victim as a "soft toy, not. up to British Standards". Doubtless others victimize partly on the basis of race (isn?t it odd that they chose to torment someone. who is not ethnically. English?) while expressing their abuse in terms of another. genetic attribute, namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a genetic basis is wrong, but. while racial insults are illegal, abusing the mentally ill is neither against the. law nor subject to similar condemnation when it. is exposed. 6608 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233929

    - M'I`5 Persecution ' a buse in set- up situa tions and in p ublic -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= abuse in set-up. situations and in public -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Strangers. in the street have recognized me on sight many times, and shown awareness of the current thread of abuse.. To give you one example, in 1992 I was seriously ill, and a manager. at work somewhat humorously said that "it wasn't fair" that people were bullying me.. A few days later, I attended for the first time a. clinic in London as an outpatient, and on my way out was. accosted by someone who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis on the word. "fare". He repeated the word several times in this different context; that they should. have paid my "fare", each time emphasizing the word. For. two and a half years from the time their harassment started until November 1992. I refused to see a psychiatrist, because I reasoned that I was. not ill of my own action or fault, but through the stress caused by harassment, and that a. lessening of the illness would have to be consequent to a removal of its. immediate cause, in other words a cessation of harassment. I also. reasoned that since they were taunting me with jokes about mental illness, if I were to seek treatment then the. abusers would think that they had "won" and been proved "right".. Remember, the constant theme of any persecution. is, "we must destroy you because you're X", whether X is a racial or other attribute. In this case the. X was "we persecute you because you have brain disease". The similarity of this. logic to Nazi attitudes to the mentally ill is. striking. The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair" asked me in. winter 1992 why I didn't seek help from a psychiatrist;. was it, he asked, because "they would think they had won" if I sought treatment? That was something. I'd never said at work... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many. such things. over a period of months proves conclusively that people in the company knew what was going on, and in quite a. lot of detail. Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your fare". Most people's imagination does not go beyond moronic parroting. of the current term of denigration.. That is not surprising given the average level of. the abusers; if they do not have the intelligence to distinguish wrong from right. then neither will they have the capacity for anything other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic term. calculated to fit into. their minds. The first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in the. summer of 1990, although they increased in frequency and venom with time.. In July 1990 the first public. incident occurred on a tube train on the Northern line.. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the women sprang to my defence, saying "He looks perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill".. Their boyfriends of course. knew better, and followed the party line; one of them made reference to an "operation", apparently to work at the. tube station but implicitly to a visit that I had made. to hospital a couple of weeks previously. In August 1990 going home from college, soon after getting on. a tube train at. Gloucester Road I was followed by a group of four youths, who started a chant of abuse. That they were targeting me was confirmed by other. people in the carriage, one of whom asked the other "who are. they going on at, is it the bloke who just got on?" to which the. second replied "yes, I think so". I was tempted to reply, but. as in every other instance the abusers are enabled in their cowardice by physically. outnumbering the abused; any confrontation would result in my being beaten. up, followed by a complaint to the police that "he attacked us", and of course. he's ill, so he must have been imagining that we were getting. at him. Shitty, aren't they? But the shittiness. of the four youths on the tube train is as nothing compared to the episode on the National Express coach. to Dover in the summer of 1992.. While going on holiday to the Continent I was verbally set upon by a. couple travelling sitting a few rows behind. The boy did the talking, his female companion contributing only a continuous. empty giggling noise.. He spoke loudly to ensure other people on the coach heard, always about "they" and "this bloke" but. never naming either the abusers or the person he was. talking about. He said "they" had "found somebody from his school, and he was. always really stressed at school". They must have dug deep to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped out. of school, someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous. and keen to get their own back? The boy also said "he was. in a bed and breakfast for only one night and they got him". By a not unexpected coincidence. I had been in a B&B in Oxford a week. previously, which had been booked from work; other things lead me to the conclusion. that the company's offices were bugged for most of the 2 1/2 years that. I was there, so "they" would have known a room in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll. bet "they" didn't tell the company's managers their offices. were bugged, did they?). After a few minutes. of this I went back to where they were sitting and asked where they. were travelling. The boy named a village in France, and the girl's giggling suddenly ceased; presumably it permeated. to her brain cell. what the purpose of the boy's abuse was. This and other set-up situations are. obviously calculated to provoke a direct confrontation which would bring in the. police, with the abusers claiming that they were the ones attacked.. Again in 1992, outside the house. where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with. some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was. something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in. front of me about, "I heard he. was attacked". The UK police have a responsibility for preventing assault occurring, but they. do not seem to take any interest in meeting that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is. that harassment does. not come within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and they will only become involved. once that happens. That is of course quite the wrong attitude for them to take, but as. I now understand, the police investigate only the. crime they wish to investigate; if they do not take your complaints seriously then. there is nothing you can do to make them take. action. 4178 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233928

    - M.I 5.Persec ution . wh o know s a bout it ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= who knows about it?. =- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Many people know, both in the establishment and media, and among. the general public. Despite an absence of its target from. the UK for more than two years, the echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud. and clear from across the water. When it started in 1990, the. only people who knew were those. in BBC television who were spying on my home, and a few radio broadcasters. There were a. few cases of public harassment, but very little compared to the situation that developed a couple of. years later. The list today includes BBC TV. staff (newsreaders such as Martyn Lewis, Michael Buerk, Nicholas Witchell), people from radio. stations such as Chris Tarrant of Capital and Radio 1 DJs, people. in the print media, but also many people in the general public.. All united in a conspiracy which breaks the laws which the UK does have regarding harassment, and. all completely uncaring for any semblance. of decency or elementary respect for individual. rights. The British police (obviously) do know the. nature of the harassment and in all probability the identity of those. behind it. Some time ago I made a complaint to my local police. station in London, without positive result. The UK police are failing in. their duty to see the law enforced in not checking. the abuse. 4178 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233923

    - M.I 5`Persecution . h ow a nd wh y d id it st art? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= how and why did. it start? -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone must have. been there at the outset to give it. a firm push and set the "animals" after me. It looks as if I was. set up in June 1990, and the timing indicates someone from university. was responsible. >One thing which has. been missing from this discussion is this simple >prognosis: that maybe he is right and. that, despite his admitted >mental condition, there really. is a campaign against him organised by >now-influential. ex-students of his university. In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman on Radio 1 read out a letter from. someone who had known me for a few years, who wrote of the one who "wore. out his welcome with random. precision" (from the Pink Floyd song). Freeman went on to say to the writer "that's a hell of a letter you wrote. there". The indication is strongly that people I. had parted from soon before nursed a grudge against me and were trying to cause trouble. for me. The suggestion is that. Freeman might have shown the letter to other people, and things could have snowballed from there. Right from. the start the real source (security. services presumed) didn't announce themselves as the origin, but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they. were the originators. Think about it; if you announce, "we're. MI5 and we have a campaign. against this bloke" then people might not go along with it; but if you say, "everyone else is getting. at this bloke because he 'deserves' it" then people will join in. with fewer qualms. >Why would "they" wish. to assassinate your character? It's. the classic case of hitting a cripple to prove you're stronger. Why would the security services expend hundreds of thousands of pounds and. more than six years of manpower. to try to kill a British citizen? Because they are. motivated by people who knew me at university and feel personal animosity; because they knew me to be. emotionally weak, and it is in the nature of bullies to prey on those known. to be weak; and because they can rely on the. complicity of the establishment, which the security services manipulate and. derive funding from. This is England's biggest humiliation today, and the British security services are. intent on preventing their humiliation becoming. reality by continuing their campaign of attempted murder. to suppress the truth from becoming public. 1748 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233922

Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went through. my head once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to run. this operation.. The partial answer is, there have been periods when the intensity has been greater, and times when little. has happened. In fact, for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very. little happened. Although I don't think that was for reasons of money -. if they can tap into the taxpayer they're not going to be short of resources,. are they? The more complete answer is in the enormity of what. they're doing. Relative to the cost. to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for the persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of. four or five people to. try to bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To the government a million or. two is quite honestly nothing - if they can convince themselves of the necessity of what they're doing,. resources will not be the limiting. factor. 9038 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233921

    - M'I-5,Persecu tion ' Capi tal R adio - C hris Tarra nt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -= Capital Radio - Chris. Tarrant -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the. start. One of the first things I heard in the summer of 1990. was from a Capital DJ who said, "If he listens to Capital then. he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see. We're not bastards). Much of what. came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away the precise details have. been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the details, and although. archives if they exist may give pointers, the ambiguity of what broadcasters. said would leave that open to re-interpretation. In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his Capital morning show. made an aside to someone else in the. studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said, "You know this bloke? He. says we're trying to kill him. We should be done for attempted. manslaughter". That mirrored something I had. said a day or two before. What Tarrant said was understood by the staff member. in the studio he was saying it to; they said, "Oh no, don't. say that" to Tarrant. If any archives exist of the morning show. (probably unlikely) then it could be found there; what he said was so out of context. that he would be very hard put to find an explanation. A couple. of days later, someone at the site where I was working repeated the remark although in a different way; they said there. had been people in a computer room when automatic fire extinguishers. went off and those people were "thinking of suing for. attempted manslaughter". Finally, this isn't confined to the. established radio stations. In 1990 after I had listened to a pirate radio station in South. London for about half an hour, there was an audible phone call in. the background, followed by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of. laughter. "So what are we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk to us now,. isn't he?", which meant that they. could hear what I would say in my room. 6608 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233920

They used scanner devices which go to over 1 GHz and would. pick up any nearby transmitter. in that range, they also checked the phones and found nothing... but if the. tap was at the exchange, then they wouldn't find anything,. would they? CS: >Doesn't this suggest to you that. there are, in fact, no bugs to be found? You. can assume that they've done this sort of thing to other people in more "serious" cases,. where they would know the targets would suspect the presence of electronic surveillance.. So they will have developed techniques and devices which are not readily detectable either by visual. inspection or by electronic means.. What those techniques might be, I couldn't guess. In this case, the existence of bugging devices was. clear from the beginning,. and they "rubbed it in" with what was said by the boy on the coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance. people to be called in, who they knew would fail. to detect the bugging devices, causing loss of credibility to the other things I. would have to say relating to the harassment. I. did all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the bugs. In. addition to calling in professional help using electronic counter-surveillance, I made. a close visual inspection of electrical equipment, plus any points where audio. or video surveillance devices might have. been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance "mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and require. visible supporting circuitry. It seems to me the best. place to put a small video surveillance device would be additional to a piece of. electronic equipment such as a TV or video. It. would be necessary to physically break in to a property to fit such a. device. 4178 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233919

My first reaction was disbelief; nothing of the. sort had ever happened before, the idea that such a thing could occur had not crossed my mind, yet there was no doubt. of what had just taken place. My disbelief eroded as this. recurred time after time. Besides the. news, offenders included shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and "entertainment" shows. There seems. to be very little moral understanding among the people who make these programmes; they. just assume they will never be caught, so they carry on without a thought for. the illegality or amorality. of what they do. The only time I ever heard a word raised in doubt was by Paxman. being interviewed by someone else (I think by Clive Anderson) back. in 1990; referring to the "watching" he said it troubled him, and when asked by the host what you could do about it, replied. "Well, you could just switch. it off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand. in the way of continued surreptitious spying from his own or. other people's shows, though. Now you're. convinced this is a troll, aren't you? This story has been the subject of. much debate on the uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and some readers believe it to be an invention (it has even been suggested. that a group of psychology. students are responsible!), others think it symptomatic of a derangement of the. author, and a few give it credence. Quite. a few people do know part or all of the story already, so this text will fill in the gaps in their knowledge. For the. rest, what may persuade you. of the third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed are checkable against any archives of radio and TV programmes. that exist; that the incidents involve named. people (even if those hiding in the shadows have not made their identity or. affiliations evident), and those people may be persuaded to come out with the truth; and that the campaign. of harassment is continuing today both in the UK. and on the American continent, in a. none-too-secret fashion; by its nature the significant risk of exposure increases with. time. On several occasions people said to my face that harassment from. the TV was happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I spent the evening in. the local. pub with the company's technical director Ian, and Phil, another employee.. Ian made a few references to me and said to Phil, as if in an aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?". to which Phil replied, "Yes, I think. so". I made a number of efforts to. find the bugs, without success; last year we employed professional counter-surveillance people. to scan for bugs (see later) again without result. In autumn 1990. I disposed of my TV and watched virtually no television for the next. three years. But harassment from TV stations has gone on for over six years and continues to. this day. This is something that many people obviously know is happening; yet the. TV staff have the morality of paedophiles, that. because they're getting away with it they feel no. wrong. Other people who were involved in the abuse in. 1990 were DJs on BBC radio stations, notably disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see. the following section). Again, since they. don't have sense in the first place they can't be expect to have the moral sense not to be part of. criminal harassment. 1748 Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233918

    - Home Network I am no longer able to access my desktop computer (Windows 2000) from my laptop (Windows XP). I installed new antivirus software on my desktop computer and lost the ability to access to the desktop from the laptop. I can't remember how I set up my home network. I am still able to access the internet from my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233904

    - Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer I have a winxp box and win2k box both connected to a new Netgear DG834G wired router. My printer is connected to a USB port? on the winxp box. Windows 2000 can see Winxp in My Network places, and with winxp's firewall enabled, cannot see the printer. So I disable the firewall and printer is found ok. What do or can I do to put this right: change a setting in the router, or install a different firewall? Also, and this is maybe unrelated, Winxp cannot see either itself or win2k. Thanks Tag: Idle sessions not disconnected Tag: 233900

Hello,

We have a Windows 2000 Sp4 machine acting as a small file server.
Therefore, we get the 10 sessions limit.

The problem is idle sessions don't get disconnected at all (they show
hours of idle state), preventing new users from accessing to shares.

Initial value was set to 15 mn that I changed to 10 mn, but the problem
is still there even after a reboot.

"net config server" shows all those values OK.

Any idea ? Thanks.

After further investigation (sort of) it seems that it doesn't work only
for sessions which claim to have "Open files" even if it's just the
share that is open (No locks)

Is there a way to force this ?
