    - M,I-5'Persecut ion BB C Newscast ers L ie & Deny T heyre Wa tching Me MI5 Persecution: BBC Newscasters Lie. & Deny They're Watching Me Central to the persecution campaign waged against me for some nine. years now by the Security Service. is their use of the media, and in particular the broadcast media, to make clear to me that I am under. surveillance and being watched within. my own home, even by BBC newscasters while they read the news. This is. really an act of arrogance; MI5 and their tools in the television and radio are so sure that they can never be caught, that. they have many times made explicity clear on. broadcast programmes that they are as. capable of seeing me as I am of seeing the broadcast pictures. Even when they have. known I am taping the programmes they still carry on this practice; for examples of TVand. radio presenters caught "in action", see the Evidence area of my. website. If you wish. to reply to this article...... then please include your. name and fax number! I provide the means for recipients to send me their thoughts on the topics. discussed, but ask that you provide me with your. fax number or email address if you require a response. Also would you please send not more than. one or two pages, if by fax.. Thank-you! It started with a Newscaster,. and it continues with Newscasters today The very first incident in. the story started with a reaction by an ITN newscaster, Sue Carpenter, in June of 1990, almost nine years ago. now. She reacted to what she saw in my living room at home as. she read the news. My mother. had brought an apple for me into the room, whereupon the newsreader smirked and giggled, apparently finding this funny. I. couldn't believe what I was seeing.. I carried on watching news and other television programmes to see if presenters. would show signs of "interactive watching"; to my. surprise, this happened again and again. Unfortunately, I did not have my. wits sufficiently about me to videotape these programmes, and it is now almost impossible to obtain recordings dating back. to 1990. However, I have been. busy recording everything Ive watched the last couple of years, and the taping has yielded some. nuggets, which you will find if you point your Web browser at. the "evidence" area of my website, whose URL address is given above. Strangely it is not particularly the BBC. who are "after me" at the moment (with the. exception of occasional fire from Nicholas Witchell), but that supposed paragon of. virtue and decency Jon Snow. of Channel Four TV News (he actually works for ITN), who once claimed hed turned down MI5s offer of a tax-free. salary. I will cover Snows recent actions in a future. article. BBCs. Hidden Shame The first. ever Usenet post (internet newsgroup article) on the subject of the MI5 bugging / BBC watching occurred, as stated in a. previous article, in early May 1995. It is. reproduced here; Date: Thu May 4. 18:27:24 1995 Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy Subject:. BBC's Hidden Shame Remember the two-way televisions in George. Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched you back? Which you could never. get rid of, only the sound could be turned. down? Well the country which brought Orwell into the. world has made his nightmare follow into the world after him. Since 1990 the British. have been. waging war against one of their own citizens using surveillance to invade privacy. and a campaign of abuse in the transmitted media in their efforts to humiliate. their "victim". I suppose "BBCs Hidden Shame". is more of a wish than a fact. It may be hidden, but the BBC and other. media and security organisations seem to have no. shame whatever in their anti-social, not to say criminal, actions. Nor do the general public, who. seem quite happy to parrot the vilest obscenities without much hesitation. or apparently thought. Martyn Lewis, Nicholas Witchell and. the rest Most of the harassment occurred. in 1990-92, when I wasnt making any recordings, and the BBC wont release copies. of current affairs programmes from that period.... so although I. can remember there were many incidents in that time, even many specifics, I cant dig up. the actual programmes to flesh out the. bones. This year, there. has been at least one incident with Nicholas Witchell as newsreader, which I have. successfully recorded and digitized, i.e. converted. into a computer Quicktime movie file. This has not yet found its way onto. my website (Im a busy man, dontcha know) but you can be sure I will let the. readership of these articles know when that clip makes it onto the web. The Witchell clip was recorded on Saturday 10 April. 1999 at 7pm, and shows Witchell trying to restrain his. features from collapsing into a. smirk. First his upper lip quivers for several minutes, then with the non-excuse of a non-joke his entire face twists. into a grin. It looks as if. he finds me so funny, that he allows himself to submerge any pretence at. professionalism in a sea of MI5-inspired sarcasm and harassment. The two BBC newscasters whose reactions. to me I can remember most vividly over the years are Martyn Lewis. and Nicholas Witchell. I can remember thinking years ago that Michael Buerk was also. seeing me at home; and if the other two are watching then there would be no reason why he. wouldnt be doing the same; but in all honesty I cannot remember. a single clear instance of his reacting through facial or verbal expression. to me. I can remember several. instances of Martyn Lewis reacting to what he saw of me,. however. In early 1992 I was watching the BBC news with Lewis on a small black-and-white portable TV at my then home in Oxford.. I threw a term of abuse at Lewis; he flinched, then gave a grin and made. a comment from which I understood that he. had been on my side, but might have changed. his mind as a result of what Id just said to him. And in spring 1991 I remember Martyn Lewis clearly reacting to what. he saw of me at my then accommodation in Woking, Surrey, by continuing. to stare at some fixed point near the camera after. the news had finished - presumably. this is where the monitor interactively showing pictures of my room was. located. Why would BBC and other Newscasters. Watch and Harass Me, Watching Them? This is a. very difficult question, and I dont actually know the answer. It is a matter of record that the Secret Services are very much part. of the Establishment. The recent exposure of the. "MI6 Agent List" on the internet, and its coverage in the newspapers, reveals how much MI5. and MI6 are recruited from the. ranks of the Establishment. Obviously the relationship. is bi-directional; the Establishment influences MI5/MI6, but the secret services (well, perhaps not so secret now we. know who works for MI6!!!) also influence. the machinery of power and information dissemination i.e. media in this country. So they must have a lot. of covert. leverage with the BBC and ITN. Some of this leverage is obviously through bribery. It is. a matter of record that. MI5 tried some years ago to "buy" Jon Snow of Channel Four TV. He turned them down - obviously they must have approached other. media people as well, and from the lack. of other reports of people turning them down, it may be presumed that some other journalists will have. accepted the sugared carrots put before them. Ironically, Jon Snow. has been taking part in the recent "watching" actions against me. - but why he has allowed himself to be used by the. secret services is something which I do not know. Perhaps the Security Service uses blackmail to twist arms of. journalists into co-operating with. them? I have always thought there was something slightly odd about Martyn Lewiss demeanour. At the time of the Ron. Davies "rough trade" scandal it was reported that MI5 had. known all about Davies predilections and the sham. of his pretence to be a happily married man. Perhaps MI5. have been able to dig something up from Martyn Lewiss private life to blackmail. him into acting on their behalf? And if there wasnt anything before the. "newscaster watching" started then there most certainly is. something now.... once theyve started watching, the newscasters will. surely wish their activities to remain covered-up, and co-operate with the security. service. "Newscaster. Watching" Deliberately Constructed to Mimic Schizophrenia Presumably this is the first case in history of television. journalists actually taking part in acts of real-time, live spying. and reacting against one of their viewers. What you have to understand, though, is. that I was quite mentally healthy in June 1990, certainly relative. to November 1992, when. after two and a half years of harassment I was finally admitted to hospital as an out-patient. MI5 decided from the outset that. they would make me mad; they. constructed the media harassment to resemble what would be reported by a person. with mental illness; and then they carried on years of abuse to inflict on me the. condition which they wished to use as an. excuse to cover up their abuses. I sold my portable TV in. autumn 1990 and stopped watching television regularly. I realise. now that this may have been a mistake. What I should have done. was to watch TV and listen to the radio, but tape-record everything and make a note. of what each excerpt meant to me. I would then be in. a much stronger position as regards to evidence that I am now. That is what I am trying. to do now, but unsurprisingly the TV/radio presenters have. stopped getting at me, now they know they are being recorded. When I started publicising my case on internet newsgroups in 1995,. I was met with the disbelief one might expect to be accorded to a. mentally ill person who talks. about "newscaster watching" and media persecution. Some newsgroup participants thought I had started. a "troll", an invention made to. obtain a reaction; one bright spark even suggested a group of psychology students were behind the articles.. But most people thought the articles were symptomatic of derangement - and. that is exactly what MI5 want people. to think. MI5 chose me as a target because I was mildly mentally ill at the outset in 1990, although I stress. my illness then was very mild. in comparison with November 1992, and because they knew that enough abuse would (a) make me much more seriously ill, and. (b) once I was more ill, they would "get away" with a harassment deliberately. constructed to look like the. symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. Martyn Lewis Denies & Lies, But Wont in. Writing In. February 1997 I wrote to BBC Viewer & Listener Correspondence and asked them to investigate the. claim that their newscasters had engaged in "real-time spying" on. me. They replied that they had asked Martyn Lewis and Michael Buerk whether they had engaged in such. practices, and that they had both. made verbal denials to VLC, but were refusing to put their denials in. writing. To me it looks as if Lewis and Buerk are happy to lie verbally but. not in writing, because written falsehoods would. place them unambiguously in the wrong, whereas they can try to talk their way out of. verbal lies if they are ever caught, or perhaps even. deny the verbal lies completely? If they lie without shame, then why would they have any shame about. future lies about. lying? BBC-VLC. also said that the BBC "would never engage in any form of surveillance activity" such as that described.. Clearly Martyn Lewis and the. rest have lied to their own organisations personnel about their criminal actions.. So much for the "objective", "truthful" BBC, a nest of shabby. liars. Summons. against the BBC, for Nuisance caused by Newscaster Spying In March 1997. I issued a civil summons against the BBC, seeking injunction against further "newscaster spying", and token damages for. what the BBC had done to me until that date. The. purpose of the summons was to try to "smoke out" the BBC, since obviously. I did not have good evidence which would be necessary for either a civil or criminal case to be made. against them. My summons was. worded as follows; 1. The plaintiff is and was at all material. times residing at [home address]. At some time prior to. or during June 1990, persons of unknown identity entered. Plaintiff's premises and installed concealed television equipment. in said premises. 2. A campaign of harassment was launched against the Plaintiff by. the persons of. unknown identity, which in part took the form of instigating harassment by BBC. TV newscasters (including specifically Michael Buerk and Martyn Lewis) as they read news bulletins, by making. direct and personal comments. to Plaintiff. 3. The campaigns purpose was to subject Plaintiff. to great mental stress and induce mental breakdown. As a result of it Plaintiff did. indeed suffer from severe. mental strain in 1990-97. 4. In order to avoid the mental strain being caused to. him the Plaintiff has been compelled to. stop watching BBC TV news. Defendant therefore committed the tort of private nuisance, since normal. use of home was interfered. with. 5. Plaintiff claims a permanent. injunction prohibiting further nuisance, and damages for. nuisance suffered limited to 5,000. Naturally, my attempt. to smoke-out the BBC and its lying newscasters failed. The BBCs litigation. department sought to have my summons struck out; and they succeeded in. doing so, on the grounds of my action "disclosing no reasonable cause of action". I was. also prevented from issuing. further civil claims against the BBC without leave of the Court. Apparently litigants-in-person frequently / usually have. their claims struck out with this wording,. regardless of the merit of their claims. BBC Suppresses my. Claims of "Watching by Newscasters" BBCs staff magazine Ariel ran my advert "BBC Newsreaders. Spying on my home" for one issue. in the Personal category on 8/July/1997 before it was spotted. and axed by editor Robin Reynolds; please see webpage;. http://www.pair.com/spook/evidence/plaint/ariel.htm Clearly the. BBC will not allow claims of its wrongdoing to be made public in. the media channels it controls. 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 the Rose and Crown 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". The reader might. think that mere "watching" by newscasters etc might be a relatively benign happening. But it is not; it is part of MI5s. framework of harassment and lies. On many occasions the. reactions of the BBCs newscasters to. me has been in the nature of sarcasm, implicit contempt and abuse. This is visible in Witchells news programme mentioned. above, where he engages in abuse by laughing at me during his newsreading. It. was particularly visible in the early period of 1990-92, and. as late as Autumn 1993, when during. a Newsnight broadcast Jeremy Paxman interviewed a football person about soccer hooliganism,. and the interviewee gave vent to an unsubtle rant. about "theyre idiots, theyre just idiots, keep up the surveillance". Paxman started grinning, showing. he understood and was taking part in the abuse being perpetrated on that. programme. Conclusion The MI5 Persecution started with harassment by television newscasters,. and today. harassment by TV and radio presenters still forms a key part of MI5s activities against me. When this business started in June. 1990 I was in relatively good health of mind. Years of. persecution by the secret police and their mouthpieces in the. state-run BBC and other media eroded my health until MI5 achieved their aim of seeing me rendered mentally ill. in November 1992. The diagnosis which was forced. on me unfortunately and ironically meant that my. reports of the harassment are disregarded, because the. mentally ill are second-class citizens in todays Britain. Yet TV. and radio harassment continues, albeit in a reduced form, despite my. taping all the programmes I watch, resulting in my being able to obtain and demonstrate objectively on. the website instances of media presenters attacking me. Unfortunately. these recorded instances are quite tenuous; I might understand them, the presenters understand what it. is theyre doing, but. despite many thousands of people knowing the truth of the "newscaster watching", the. omerta continues and they continue to refuse to admit the truth of the. matter. It is a terrible indictment of British society that there is. not even one decent person willing to speak out. I look forward to the day when the. truth does finally emerge, and the mass corruption which has allowed the MI5 persecution to take place is. finally purged and the Establishment criminals. caught and appropriately punished. 5408 Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233876

    - M`I 5`Persec ution - Fo ur Y ears of MI 5 Per secution Post s on Int ernet Ne wsgroups Four. Years of "MI5 Persecution" Posts on Internet Newsgroups For approximately the first three. years of the MI5 persecution, from June 1990. until late 1992, I kept as quiet as possible, in the hope that by not reacting, MI5s interest in me would decrease and they would simply go. away of their own accord. This. is the sort of behaviour some people employ against bullies; if the bullies arent getting a. reaction, then they might simply go away. and victimize someone else. Unfortunately, this tactic didnt. work. The quieter I became, the more shrill and hysterical the noise from the Security Service. operatives. For about two years I didnt watch TV. news at all. Yet this only heightened their obsessed fixation; they continued to. follow me wherever I went, they continued to induce harassment at work. by managers and fellow workers, and they continued to encourage me. to commit suicide. They seemed to regard my refusal to react as a crime which they would have. to "put right" by ever more extreme forms. of abuse. Finally, in 1995, I changed tactics radically. Since late 1994 I had. had accounts with internet providers in Ontario,. Canada. I discovered the cornucopia of. internet newsgroups, on every topic from consumer electronics, to politics and legal topics, and I discovered. online services such as Compuserve and AOL. In. May 1995, I made the first posting to the conspiracy newsgroup, on the subject. of "BBCs Hidden Shame". BBC's Hidden. Shame The internet newsgroup discussion, which. has now reached its fourth anniversary,. started with an article in alt.conspiracy, which I reproduce here. Date: Thu May. 4 18:27:24 1995 Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy Subject:. BBC's Hidden Shame Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched. you back? Which you. could never get rid of, only the sound could be turned down? Well the country which brought Orwell into the world has made his nightmare follow. into the world after him. Since 1990 the British have. been waging war against one of their own citizens using. surveillance to invade privacy and a campaign of abuse in the transmitted. media in their efforts to humiliate their "victim". And the most remarkable thing about it is that what they. do is not even illegal - the UK has no laws to protect the privacy. of its citizens, nor does it proscribe harassment or abuse except in the case of racial. abuse. A lot of people in England know. this to be going on, yet so far they have maintained perfect "omerta"; not a sound, not a squeak has escaped into. the English press, and for all the covert. harassment absolutely nothing has come out into the public domain. Have the British gone mad? I. think we should be told At this point, I did not name MI5 as my persecutors. I was. still unsure that they. were the ones responsible for the "psychological terrorism". In followup posts. however I did name them; and the persecutors have never denied the claim; so I think my guess is valid. (The Security. Service Tribunal in 1997 have said. "no determination in your favour was made", but it is a well established fact that MI5 lies routinely. to the Tribunal which has never found in favour of a plaintiff, so. no conclusions can be drawn from. this.) This. first post was made to alt.conspiracy, but further posts were made to the UK-local newsgroups,. in particular uk.misc but also uk.legal and uk.politics (which is now called uk.politics.misc). Some. time ago I tried to take. the battle to the Compuserve forums, UKPOLITICS (which is now called UKCURRENT - current affairs), but my articles were censored. by the forum. operators. Such censorship is impossible on the internet newsgroups. Police Refuse to. Act I have complained several times to the Metropolitan Police, who. have each time refused. to help.

This in itself dos not suggest. that the police have it in for you. The old bill operates on extremely. tight spending limits forced on them by that pillock Michael Howard, and without evidence, they often have higher priorities than chasing. something that. cannot go to court. I doubt that the police are actually being leant on, but they probably realise. that if they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The met. always stays away from anything that looks like. it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already, because. they realise that they are below these government agencies in the general pecking. order. If I walked. into my local nick and complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would show me the door without even. looking at my evidence, because that bored desk seargant with only five years to go before he retires. doesn't want to start fucking about with somebody who has. incurred the wrath of Stella Rimington. He would rather deal with the lost dogs and driving licence producers, eat his cheese and pickle sandwiches and. piss off home at the end of his shift than have. some high ranking spook having a go at his boss and. getting him a bollocking. In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise. Just. remember that saying about the. enemy of your enemies. Most recently,. I wrote in March 1999 to Charing Cross Police Station CID. They did not acknowledge or reply to my letter. When I. phoned them up, the detective Id written to treated me to a. sadly not unusual display of police bigotry,. with an uneducated rant about "your paranoid rubbish". It would be nice to think that. such uneducated bigotry is something other than wholly typical of police. behaviour, but unfortunately that is an illusion that. is rapidly dispelled. Uncorruptible Jon Snow. of Channel Four News From previous articles the. reader will know what I think Jon Snow has recently been. watching me while he reads Channel Four News in the evening. Recently I digitized a few moments of one such. broadcast, where his face twists into a smile, without there being anything in. the news broadcast to cause merriment. Here is. a usenet post from some time ago on MI5s "bought and paid for" tools in. the so-called "free" press. Peter Harding. (harding@ermine.ox.ac.uk) wrote: : I was at speakers' corner on Sunday. There was one. chap who was bellowing : about something or other, I don't know what, but. one thing he said to :. someone caught my ear: : "BBC,. MI5, same thing."

Corrupt Security Service agents steal. millions from taxpayers Money is of course a. factor in the grand equation which is the MI5 persecution. It costs money for the Security Service to "buy". people in the. media etc. But that is only a small part of their expenditure of taxpayers resources. Most of the expenditure is directly on the. salaries if the agents. involved; and in this post I put forward the theory that MI5 are trying to draw out their involvement for. as long as possible, very cynically, to maximise their income and line their own. pockets. At each stage they have tried to pretend that I am something. out of the ordinary. Either I was. very stupid ("he's an idiot") or very clever ("he's like a genius"). Either I was a threat to Western. civilization (Levin once referred to me as the next Hitler) or I was completely. defenceless ("a soft toy"). Now, it should be obvious to any person with common-sense that I am not. out of the ordinary in any way. I have an IQ which is average for the Web,. I am racially white European, and there are plenty of. other people with schizophrenia or epilepsy out there who haven't. been targeted for MI5 attention, so why me? I think the answer is that the MI5 agents who harass me have cynically. exploited the situation by painting. me as extraordinary in order to assure themselves of well-paid employment funded by the. ordinary British taxpayer. To put it bluntly, they are stealing millions of pounds from the taxpayer to. feed their own pockets. This assertion is supported by the. observation that it's the same agents who are doing the harassment. Six months ago in a local hospital I was. harassed by someone whose face I had seen (he had stared straight at me aggressively, at the. time I just thought it was some nutter. but it turns out he was one of "them") aboard a KLM flight a couple of years ago. It's presumably been the same people. most of the time. I've seen the way contractors act when they don't want their positions terminated.. Would these agents really want to lose their well-paid employment harassing me?. Presumably they are promising their bosses a "breakthrough". (ie my demise) real-soon-now and have been for the last seven years, while all the while these MI5. agents skim millions off. the taxpayer. I wouldn't mind a job like. that. Perhaps if I persecute myself a little bit, like standing in front of a mirror and shouting mindless obscenities, do. you reckon I'd get a slice of the caky. Service Tribunal. This year Nick Brooks, current Tribunal Secretary, confirmed to me that he could not think of. a single case where the Tribunal had found in favour. of a complainant. Here is my usenet post. from two years ago. Subject: MI5:. "It wasn't us" Newsgroups:. uk.misc,uk.legal Organization: Toronto. Free-Net "The. Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have asked me to inform. you that no determination in your favour has been made on your. complaint." Signed ER Wilson, Tribunal. Secretary Well that's a relief then.. All that spamming for nothing eh. Gaw blimey, if they say. they're not doing it then it can't be them, can it? In a recent letter to Mr Brooks I expressed the opinion that. the Tribunal were unable. to fulfil their responsibilities in the face of MI5 falsehoods. Nevertheless, I do intend to make. another complaint to the Tribunal in the near future,. despite the Tribunal appearing to be a toothless. watchdog. Discrimination against a Unit. Minority MI5. have been very clear in their instructions as to what I should do. They have openly shouted at me the word "suicide", and also from. the other abuse it is clear. that they want my existence terminated. This point is covered. in more detail in a previous article. The following post describes the xenophobic nature of MI5s campaign against. me. They have refined their. bigotry down to a unit minority, yet they make use of the discrimination. against the mentally ill which is a feature of current British. society.

Usually this type of 'hidden abuse' is racial and targetted at. a racial minority within a country. You keep. the minorities out of the good jobs, but you don't admit. discrimination exists. It happens everywhere, not just in Britain. The persecution that. is going on now is in reality a refined form of racism. Instead of "nigger" it's. "nutter", and abusing the mentally ill is still socially acceptable today. In 50. years it might not be, but today there isn't any. social or legal sanction against it. So really they've refined racial harassment down to a minority. of one. The words may be different, but. the methods are the same. 3938 Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233875

Somewhere between. 0 and 100% The last few days there have. been no clear recordable instances of abuse. However, while travelling on the.

A comment by a scientist to the BSE inquiry sticks in my. mind. He described the. possible scale of the epidemic as "between 0% and 100%". It might not be happening, it might not. happen at all, to any discernable degree.... or it might be total. Without. clear recording, which seems to have. become impossible the last couple of weeks, there is no way of knowing. whether the harassment really is continuing, whether we have entered a temporary hiatus, or. whether perhaps it has perhaps stopped for now. But for the time. being I think there arent any reasons to dicontinue these faxes.. I only re-started them six weeks ago in response to a resumption of MI5 harassment;. and I think I will need to be more convinced of absence of persecution before I discontinue my. complaints. The Newscasters are still. watching In the last few weeks there have. been at least a couple of fairly overt instances of. "interactive watching" by newscasters. I reported this in a previous "MI5 Persecution. Update". These instances are really very rare compared to. 1990-91, when there were many dozens of such occurrences. Undoubtedly the reduction is. due to my practice of videotaping everything I see.. Recently I had the opportunity of showing this years "happenings" (Jon Snow/Nicholas Witchell) to. my psychiatrist, and he agreed that in both cases. the newscasters were expressing. merriment without visible cause, and that objectively it might be possible for my claims. to be true - although of course other people reported similar thoughts to him, and this thinking is. usually a symptom of. illness. Read About the MI5. Persecution on the World Wide Web The March 1998 issue (number 42) of. .net Magazine reviews the website describing it as an "excellent site".

(Labour - Streatham), my elected representative, as ever refuses to. help. MI5 Waste Taxpayer. Millions on Pointless Hate-Campaign Recently. I was talking to an independent observer about the nature and purpose of the perceived campaign of persecution. against me. The person I spoke to, a highly intelligent man, said he was struck by the. utter pointlessness of the perceived campaign against me.. He also said that, if my theories were in fact true, many people would have to be. involved, in the surveillance itself, and in the technical. side of the delivery of information from my home to. TV studios for example, if the "interactive watching" were happening as described. He voiced these. thoughts without any prompting from me; but both. I and other observers had arrived at pretty much the same conclusions, some. years ago. I saw a. team of four men at Toronto Airport in 1993 To carry out the surveillance alone, full-time, would employ four or. five men, or. their equivalent in terms of man-hours. Each man would "work" an eight-hour. shift, so you would need at least three men doing the surveillance, plus a connecting link /. manager. An indicator that this estimate is correct arrived in 1993, when. I was accosted by one of a group of four men at Toronto Airport; he said, laughing, "if he tries. to run away well find him". Plainly these were the men who had. been involved in the intrusive surveillance of me for the preceding. three years. On. other occasions, I have seen the same man on two or three occasions. On one such occasion, at Ottawas Civic. Hospital in November 1996; he gave his name to the doctor as "Alan Holdsworth" or some such; my hearing is. not very good sometimes and I am not sure. of the surname, although I am sure "Alan" was his first name. I saw. exactly the same man again in Ottawa, at the airport, in. July 1998. Obviously, other people must be "working" with this person; he would not be the sole agent employed in. this case. Usenet readers views. on the Cost to MI5 of Running the Campaign Here's what a. couple of other people on internet newsgroups / Usenet (uk.misc) had. to say regarding the cost of running such an operation... PO: >Have some sense, grow up. and smell reality. What you are talking about PO: >would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of pounds. and lots of PO: >people involved in the. planning, execution and maintenance of it. You PO: >must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth. it. and...... PM: >But why? And why you?. Do you realize how much it would cost to keep PM: >one person under continuous surveillance for five years? Think. about PM: >all the man/hours. Say they _just_. allocated a two man team and a PM: >supervisor. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a. year. Two men, PM: >#20,000 a year each. But. they'd need to work in shifts -- so it would PM: >be six men at #20,000 (which. with on-costs would work out at more like PM:. >#30,000 to the employer.) PM:. > PM: >So, we're talking #30,000 x 6.. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've. got the hardware involved. And PM: >any transcription that needs doing. You don't think. the 'Big Boss' PM: >would listen to. hours and hours of tapes, do you. PM:. > PM: >So, all in. all, you couldn't actually do the job for much less than PM: >a quarter million a. year. Over five years. What are you doing that makes PM: >it worth. the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter million PM:. >on you? 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. At the very least, a quarter million. a year - and probably much more, given the. intrusive and human-resource-intensive methods employed. Times nine. years. Equals well over two million pounds - and probably much,. much more. Its wasteful. for someone with my skills to be unemployed The wastefulness of the MI5. campaign against me is not just that of futile expenditure on their side. It is also extremely wasteful. for someone with my. talents to be unemployed and on a disability pension. I am highly qualified in numerate disciplines, yet am. unable to work, specifically because of the MI5 hate-campaign against me.. It is a terrible waste of resources for a supposedly efficient economy like that of the UK to. be squandering. the talents of a skilled and capable worker. I made every effort to remain. in employment for as long as I could, but ultimately I was defeated by MI5s employment of massive. resources specifically targeted on my workplaces with the sole aim. of seeing me evicted from those. workplaces. You might expect this sort of behaviour from the. Stasi or some other secret police force in a communist country where labour is cheap, and. the governments aim on seeing its citizens confined; but for a. supposedly free and efficient economy like Britains, the wastefulness resulting both directly. and indirectly from the Security Services activities is simply. criminal, and should never be allowed. The international dimension means the costs are. multiplied many times overoer had any sense, then they have surely taken leave of them over. the last. nine years. Four. years of persecution in Canada The persecution re-started within less than. five minutes of my arrival in Canada, as documented above,. and in the "frequently asked questions" article on the website. The words, "if he. tries to run away well find him" spoken by one of the harassers at Toronto. Airport are now imprinted on my. mind. A year later I emigrated to Canada,. intending to find a job and settle there, hoping that MI5s interest. in me might dim with time. I did manage to find work there, but my hopes of avoiding Security Service. interest were ground into dust. As detailed above, I saw. the same man in November 1996 and July 1998, both times. in Ottawa. Apart from these encounters, there were numerous incidents between. 1994 and 1998 of harassment, of an identical nature and in most cases using identical. words to what had occurred in the UK. It became quite clear to me that. the permanent surveillance and harassment operation which MI5. had subjected me to in England was being. continued. For a team. of four or five men to be employed overseas must cost a lot more than. if they operate in their home country. And for MI5 to continue the operation for a period of over four. years, continuously, must cost many hundreds of thousands of pounds. This confirms my belief. that the state is funding the campaign against mehat the. Security Service receives current annual funding of #160M. Divided by 1850 staff, works. out at #86,000. But the unit. annual cost of each "watcher" must be much higher than this, especially given the frequently mobile. and overseas nature of their actions of the last few. years. A very conservative figure might be a little over #100,000 pa for each of a team of five. people, or half a million pounds per year.. For nine years, so far. So the most conservative estimate of the surveillance element alone is perhaps four. or five million pounds since. 1990. This guesstimate is of course theoretical -. I am not privy to inside details of how MI5 split their funding. But to take some other. examples, the cost of a US counter-surveillance specialist. per day is USD 5,000. Even if the agents permanently assigned to me are. not of this calibre - even if they employ specialists when difficult. work planting bugs etc is encountered - their salary and. support costs must still be very. high. The individual agents are doing well for themselves as they are well-paid to. exercise psychopathic instincts which in any sane society would see them in prison; but the taxpayers who must fund. this terribly wasteful exercise are being "done" out. of hundreds of thousands of pounds each. year. It must be emphasised that the. above estimates are highly conservative. Besides the surveillance operation, it. must carry a high cost in man-hours to. propagate covert slanders through the population; to setup. and maintain the "interactive watching" links to TV and radio stations, which. these organisations continue desparately to "lie and deny"; and to induce antipathy in co-workers which would. not otherwise exist. Why they are wasting Millions of Pounds on a "Nobody from South. London" As remarked in the prologue to. this article, it is really most extraordinary that. the Security Service spends a chunk of its budget, every year for. nine years so far, on a meaningless campaign against a "nobody from South London". That they are spending. such a large amount of money has been confirmed. to me on several occasions, usually by oblique references to. "its costing this country millions". The supposed "logic". behind the persecution is that MI5 wish to avoid their harassment of me, and the involvement of the UK media, to be made public;. yet as the reader will appreciate that is a circular. argument, "theyre doing it because they want to keep it secret and avoid. humiliation for themselves and their country" begs the question, "why did. they start doing it in the first place?", to which. in truth I myself do not know the answer. Plainly MI5 with its rich budget can afford half a million pounds a. year to waste on a "nobody from South London". Some time ago I was talking to. a British surveillance professional on Compuserve who. told me "this work costs a lot of money and is usally. because the person I am following has done something (usually criminal) to warrant all this. money and time being spent." Yet in this particular case it. is plainly not the "victims fault" that the harassment is taking place. The hate-campaign. against me is completely the. creation of the obsessive psychologies of the MI5 agents who have. made themselves my persecutors; it is obviously a "personal" campaign. for them, and for years they misuse taxpayer funding to. feed their insane, unnatural and fixated fantasies. 2468 Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233874

    - M'I-5'Persecuti on ' Comparin g th e M I5 Persec ution w ith Germ an Fi nal Solu tion MI5 Persecution Update:. Friday 16 April, 1999 If You Intend To Reply,. Please Read This Please.... keep your response to one page!. Faxes over a page or two. will be deleted without being. read. BBC newscaster Nicholas Witchell. cant stop himself laughing During 1990-91 there were very many. instances of "interactive television" where newscasters. and other TV presenters saw on a screen before them what was happening in my home, and. reacted, frequently by laughing. at me. During this period I unfortunately did not record these programmes. For the last year or. two, I have been recording everything I watch, and there. has been a drastic decrease in such incidents. However, on occasion, television presenters do still engage. in "interactive watching" and react to what. they see. This has been evident with. Jon Snow of Channel Four News recently - a particularly interesting case, since it has been established that he cannot be corrupted. by money (it. is well-documented that MI5 offered him a tax-free salary and he turned them down). I wonder what device MI5. are using to encourage him to do. the "interactive watching"? On Saturday 10. April 1999 at 7pm, Nicholas Witchell on BBC2 News reacted when he saw that I was watching the programme,. and I have his reactions stored. safely on videotape. I have watched this tape several times and I am entirely confident that my. evaluation of his reactions is correct. For several minutes. his upper lip quivered in mirth as he attempted to keep a straight face. Then finally. his self-control evaporated through the excuse of a weak joke and. his face collapsed into a grin. The strange thing is that I dont know why he was laughing at me, what. I had done recently to "deserve" to. be laughed at. The MI5 persecutors usually manage. to invent some justification as to why people should laugh at and/or abuse me ("hes an X", "it was so funny" etc), so. Mr Witchell could have been laughing for any number of reasons. Perhaps. he found the views I have been expressing in these articles amusing? I suppose. if youre paid enough money and ordered to laugh then. even the most innocuous thing becomes. funny. Jon Snow of Channel Four News cant stop. himself smirking, either. On 12 February. 1999 I was watching Channel Four News presented by Jon Snow. As usual, I was recording the. programme, so that if anything out of the ordinary happened, Id be able to go back. and watch it again. Now, Jon Snow, by his own. claim, is uncorruptible. He says he turned down an. offer of a substantial tax-free salary from MI5 - they wanted to make him their. mouthpiece, and he told them where to get off. So you will be most surprised to learn that. Jon Snow "interactively watched" me that. evening, and on many other evenings. Approximately fifteen. minutes into the programme, he announced that the US President would be making. a live appearance at about 7.30pm; I looked at the clock on. the mantelpiece; and Snow saw me looking at the clock, and visibly tried to. suppress a smirk. Uncorruptible, are you, Mister Snow? If not money, then why. are you watching me, Mister Snow? Are. they forcing you to watch me? Cant you turn the. monitor off, Mister Snow? Keith Hill MP (Labour. - Streatham), my elected representative, as ever refuses. to help. Comparing. the MI5 Persecution with German "Final Solution" It might seem offensive. to compare the mass murder of millions of civilians in wartime with the peacetime persecution of. merely one person. Yet. the comparison has been coursing through my mind for several years now, because the brutality of German intent to. "sub-humans" is very much. comparable to the brutality of British intent to someone they vituperate and term "not up to British standards".. The methods may differ, but the persecutors mindset is. the same. The Germans first targeted the mentally disabled,. too During WW2 millions of ethnic Russians, Poles, Jews, mentally. ill, gypsies and other minorities were rounded up and murdered in purpose-built. camps by the German regime, in the name. of "racial superiority". Fifty years on, the British Secret Police, MI5, instituted a campaign of. mass hysteria;. but in their cowardice, limited their activities to one single victim. It is instructive to. note that the early German "cleansing" effort was directed primarily not at Jews, but. at the mentally ill. The Nazis set up the T4 project in the thirties. to "cleanse" away 70,000 mentally disabled people,. including schizophrenics and epileptics. After WW2 the Jews with their. media influence used the reaction from the holocaust to roll back anti-semitism in the Western. countries; however, the mentally ill are today still a persecuted. group in the modern Western world as they were under. the Nazis (the current Jewish home secretary in the UK intends to bring in laws for. incarceration without any criminal charge for some mentally ill people - he protects his own minority, but does. nothing for the other minorities in todays society), and this continuing bias forms. a central cause for the current. acts of persecution in the UK. Widespread knowledge of what is happening. to the "un-British" minority In both the German persecution of the thirties and early forties,. and the current British persecution, many, many people are well. aware of whats happening. There is. widespread complicity through inaction of populace; and in a substantial proportion. of the mainstread population, the persecution had/has widespread enthusiastic support; yet. in both the German case in the 1940s and the British today,. the existence of persecution is a. mass secret which must be never admitted out loud. In the recent Lawrence case this "secret bigotry". has been termed "institutionalised racism", and that is a very good word. for what the British are doing today The persecutory. attitudes and omerta regarding them are so deeply ingrained in the national psyche. that they define the national. mood During WW2 many Germans knew minorities were disappearing, and. through inaction quietly. condoned their government's mass murder of "un-German" minorities and inferior "foreigners";. and in the 1990s, similarly, many English people know what the MI5 British Secret. Police have been doing, and not only condone it, but actively take. part, because of. xenophobia against the "un-British" unit minority that is the target of "British" actions. This attitude by the British. persecutors has been made explicit through the. words "he's not up to British standards"; the British seem to have found their very own "untermenschen" to. victimise. Why these obsessive. "holy wars" happen This. type of aggression occurs when the majority is threatened or humiliated in some way, economically, militarily or. culturally. In pre-WW2 Germany the threat. was primarily economic and military, following Germany's humiliating defeat in the first. world war and the reparations it was. forced to pay. In modern Britain, one might guess that the majority English who are behind the persecution feel pressured. by the swiftly diminishing status of Britain in. the world, and the rapidly increasing coloured colonisation of their country, which in time. will see the ethnic English a minority in their own land,. and their more antisocial elements, unable to reply to the obvious. threat, instead project their aggression onto another, weaker,. unit minority In both cases there. is a whiff of "holy war" or irrational obsession with the persecution.. Certainly the German behaviour fifty years ago bordered on the. not-quite-sane, and the current British behaviour towards their chosen victim is strongly tinged with. a leave-taking of reason. And the choices open to the. victims are the same, since MI5 will never allow me to escape them, "if he tries to run away we'll. find him", just like the commandant of Auschwitz telling the new arrivals, "the. only escape is through. the chimney". The Victim Will Destroy Us if We Dont. Destroy Him First The persecutors propaganda is the same. Fifty. years ago the Germans said, "if we don't do it. to the Jews then the Jews will do it to us"; and MI5's propaganda in the. early nineties concentrated on their victim as a "monster" aesome. "untermenschen" minority. "We. are decent fellows" say the Brutal Persecutors During the course of researching this. article I read part of the very interesting book, "Hitler - A Study. in Tyranny", by Alan Bullock. This volume contains a quote. from Himmler on the "Final Solution"; "Most of you know what it means when a hundred corpses. are lying side by side, or five hundred or one thousand. To have stuck it out,. and at the same time .... to have remained decent fellows, that is what has. made us hard. This is a page of. glory in our history which has never been written and is. never to be written." In the MI5 persecution, too, there. is a thread of deliberate brutality to the sick and. vulnerable, while the persecutors maintain that "we are decent. fellows". There is almost a conscious schizophrenia in the self-attitudes of the Security Service operatives and those in. the public who they employ against me, which. reflects the contradiction evident in the German attitude above. On. the one hand, they stoop to the lowest and most base behaviour; yet at. the same time, the MI5 operatives tell themselves that since. they are civilised British people, then surely they must by definition be "decent fellows".. Any indecency is made the fault of the victim; "hes. making us persecute him, so we need feel no guilt". Yet the conduct is. atypical of the way these peoples see their normal modes of behaviour. Befslaughter was. not typical of normal German behaviour up. to that point. Similarly, the current MI5 abuse goes against the grain of British self-image. as being "reserved" and "decent", since they are using terms. of abuse which are common among blacks and other supposedly less-developed races, but. not among the English. Conclusion The ultimate aim of both persecutions. is the humiliation and physical extinction of the persecuted group. The Germans did this in a. very direct way; the British Secret Police MI5 are acting. indirectly and relying on self-extinction of their target, because. in peacetime and in the current somewhat false climate. of "political correctness" more direct methods are impossible. If MI5 undertook more direct action. the mass "omerta" would be broken. I have written this. article with sincerity to show how a historically recent persecution in another country parallels. what is being done in this country today. In both. cases, the evil-doers are of their countries establishments, and rely on widespread tacit support. to maintain the persecution and. omerta around it. While the holocaust was undoubtedly the greater evil, it is important. to be aware of the fact that had the Germans not been defeated fifty years ago, their plans would have. gone through to total. completion. In Britain today no force threatens the "permanent government" of which the Security Service forms a part; and it looks. very unlikely that the wrongs perpetrated. by the MI5 secret police will ever be revealed to. public view, and the British secret state brought to justice for its evil. actions. 998 Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233873

    - IPX routing in Windows 2000 Professional Greetings: How may I enable or install IPX routing in Win2k Pro? I have a Win98 guest running in a 'virtualbox' vm which has IP and IPX (and a Novell 32-bit client) configured. The host sees two NICs: its ethernet hardware NIC and the virtualbox 'Host Network Interface (TAP)' virtual NIC; I have IP routing working (a registry change enabled it) between these interfaces and consequently Microsoft SMB networking is working on the Win98 guest. The Win2k Pro host has NWLink configured and also has a Novell client installed and is logged in to a NW3.12 (bindery) server. I need to route RIP and SAP for IPX between the two interfaces (host physical and guest virtual) -- as is already working for IP to permit the Win98 guest to login and use Netware services. I have Win2k Server and NT3.51 and NT4.0 Server in case some code is needed to be installed on the Win2k Pro host for this purpose (from RRAS?). All replies appreciated.

    - Win 2K "Forgets" Networked Drive Mapping Why does Windows keep "forgetting" it's mapped drives? I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing, or something being done by some software I'm running. Or could it just be that Win 2K is, like me, getting old and becoming forgetful? ;o) I have just two computers, a desktop and a laptop, connected via a peer-to-peer network. The desktop is a Micron brand and the laptop is a Sony VAIO brand. I've chosen the drive letters "M" and "V," respectively, to represent the C: drives of the Micron and VAIO computers. So on the Micron, I map the drive of the networked VAIO as V: and on the VAIO I map the drive on the Micron as M: Trouble is, the mappings only "stick" for a few days, and then one morning, like this morning for example, when I boot up my computers, one or both of the mappings has just vanished, and I have to map them all over again. As I was typing this, it occurred to me that the problem might be that I've chosen drive letters that are not the next ones in the alphabetical sequence. For example, on the Micron, I have D: drive for zip disks and an E: drive for CDs. I'm wondering if the problem is that in choosing the letter name for the VAIO drive I skipped from the letter "E" all the way down to the letter "V," leaving something like 16 or so unused drive letters in between. I have to admit that that explanation seems a bit far-fetched to me. But with Windows, it seems, anything is possible. Any ideas on how I could get the mapped drive letters of "M" and "V" to stick once-and-for-all? Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233865

    - Remote locations unable to connect to our network I have several remote locations connecting to our network via VPN routers at their locations. Today 2 of these locations were unable to connect to an app on our network. This problem has got me stumped! I can successfully ping them, and they can actually successfully ping the server that hosts the app the'yre trying to log into. I was even able to VPN into most of them, and get the message from the app of what might be wrong. Some of these machines are Windows 2000 SP4, but for the most part, they're Windows XP SP2. The errors were 10004 and 10060, and I'm not able to find anything useful as to what these errors mean. I was able to connect one XP machine by using ipconfig/flushdns then ipconfig/renew, but that didn't work for all of the machines, just a few. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this HUGE issue? I haven't been working for this organization for very long, nor do I have way of knowing for sure what may have caused it in the first place. I've been in IT for a long time, but this place is using things I'm not familiar with. I'm used to the DC running DHCP whereas this place uses Sonic Wall, which seems to be a bit problematic. I've never encountered a problem quite like this before and would appreciate ANY help I can get in this matter. Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233856

    - Server migration - NetBios alias? (Apologies if I'm in the wrong place; feel free to point me elsewhere if so...) I have an application currently [still] running on a Windows 200 server. Client [socket] connections to this application are established using the host name. The underlying hardware is falling out of its support contract, so I need to move the application to something shiny and new[er]. My problem is one of timing. On "Moving Day", I could just move the server application and then spend the next few days or weeks helping people reinstall their client application, pointing them to the new host. I would prefer something a little less intense, along these lines: Leading up to "Moving Day", my users would reinstall the client application, but pointing at "another name" for my current host. I'm thinking a NetBios alias, because my users also access file shares on the same host. On "Moving Day", I would move the server application and then "move" the "other name" across to the new host so that clients, already using the "other name", would just work. Does this sound reasonable? practical? barking mad? Any advice gratefully received ... TIA, Phill W. Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233841

Is there a way to to put this in a btach file or script so I can deploy via group policy if so how? I've also created a registry change I need by creating a a reg file with the change to the key I need. Can I execute this through a script so I can deploy to all users who need it? I have a third progrm that I I can install using the executable name and /s. Unfortuantly at the end of the silent install a box pops up saying the program was installed successfuly. If you click ok it goes away. Is there a way to click ok other than clicking it manually. I want to want to install silently but with this box the user will still have to click ok even thought the install completed successfuly.

    - Using Win2k as a server I'm taking over a support position where the previous tech configured Win2k Pro with a static IP and mapped drives with WinXP Pro clients. My problem is this, everytime the customer's ISP has technical issues the Win2k box has major problems because of the static IP address. I don't know all of the in's and out's of this network nor what will happen if simply set everything DHCP. Any advice. Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233829

    - Finding and Fixing Excessive SMB Server 5.0 License Usage We have a small lab network with a Windows 2000 (SP4) server. There are about 15 machines on the network, most running Win2000 (SP4), a couple of XP machines, and 4 Linux boxes. About a week ago, some users were unable to access the shared drives in the server. In the event log was the following: No license was available for user lab\MrUser using product SMB server 5.0 Event 201 The product view tab of the licensing tool displayed the following: Product: Windows Server Per seat purchase: 0 Per seat allocated: 0 Per server purchased: 24 Per server allocated: -105 (yes, negative 105) MS KB 103138 seems to address this issue, but we already have SP4 installed. The network has been stable for months, so everyone is at a loss to explain this. (About 18 months ago we did have this problem, but the server was rebuilt on a bigger system drive.) The guess is that one of the machines (probably one of the Linux boxes) has started sending out rouge RPC connections, but we are not sure how to identify who has requested what. 1) Is there a way to explicitly identify who is using licenses? 2) Has anyone else see this? What did you do to correct it? 3) Any suggestions aside from rebuilding the server again? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    - Get current external IP I need to connect remotely using WinXp remote desktop. Currently the computer I wish to connect to is connected to a router that obtains dynamic "external IP" from the ISP. So the eternal IP address changes any time the router connects to the ISP. I am wondering if there is any paid or free website that could enable me check the current IP address before connecting. I tried some thing like this a few years ago; then there was a free website one could register at and be able to obtain the current IP of the local machine. I lost info on that site when my machine crashed. I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233824

    - Services.exe spikes CPU on net up/down I'd been playing around with various firewalls, seeing which I liked the best. I decided against either of them (they both BSOD'ed on me). Now, when I bring my network interface (or my company VPN interface) up or down, SERVICES.EXE spikes the CPU at 100%. The firewalls in question were COMODO and ZoneAlarm. I made sure to uninstall the old one before trying the new one. An in-place upgrade didn't fix the issue. Has anyone seen behavior like this, or have any ideas on how to fix this?

    - Win 95 will not connect share drive I have a freshly formatted Windows 2000 Server with SP4 and all available updates. Trying to connect all the CNC lathes to them, which are 95% Windows 95, and the remaining are Win2K Pro. Works fine from the Win2K Pro boxes, but when I try to map the share net use x: \\servername\share I get the following error from the Win95 boxes. "Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located. Make sure you are specifying the computer name correctly, or try again later when the remote computer is available." The Server is not a PDC, only in the same workgroup as all the PCs. I can access the shares/etc. fine, so all usename/passwords are correct. The server has a static IP and all workstations can ping it using the host name. WINS, etc. are all running. I even installed dsclient hoping that would help, but nothing has worked. Does anybody have any ideas? It's nearly impossible to take down these machine for anything more than a reboot, so all the trial and error things are becoming an issue.

    - How my computer can't join the domain Recently I make a little mess on the computer I work on. Basically it's a win2000 computer in a Microsoft network with a domain controller and used to work well, But one time I used a Puppy linux LiveCD to start the computer and connect to the internet via DHCP(actuallly under win2000 i can't get on internet maybe my machine is blocked by sever,and it is using static IP under win2000) ,the computer can't log into win2000 anymore. when start,it has a message:"can't log in because the computer account in it's primary domain is missing..." and wont start. but it's ok if i unplug the net cable it start as normal. as I seacrch on the net ,I find it maybe beacause some "object" is missing,and need to rejoin the domain. the problem is I am not the administrator of the network so I can't do that.The only problem is I want to know how exactly is this happen? is it becuase I use DHCP to connect that will destroy the link between my computer and the domain controller? let's suppose the problem is fixed, because these linux livecd deosn't touch anything on the harddrive and supposed to have no effect on the installed system,if it is so, is it safe next time,that I shutdown the win2000 computer first,unplug the net cable then use linux without network.then shutdown, then restart to win2000,will I be able to join the domain normally? thanks first!

    - Accessing Novell Netware volumes from Windows 2003 server Hi, This is actually a Windows 2003 issue, but I didn't know where best to post it, so I put it here. I have a page on an ASP.NET website running .NET 2.0 on a Windows 2003 server that needs to access a file on a Novell Netware 6.5 server. The Windows 2003 server has the Novell client installed and the server itself can see all the mapped Novell drives (they appear in the My Computer window). However, when the webpage tries to access a file on one of the Novell Netware volumes, it gets the message "Could not find part of a path". Does anyone have any idea what's happening?

    - Has anyone had problems joining 2003 domain/ mac book running/boot First, let me say thanks to anyone that can help me. Here's what going on. Mac has bootcamp with Vista installed on it. Both server and client have latest updates. When trying to join domain you get " the RPC server is unavailable" most of the time, if I see this it's due to dns not set right at the client end. I can and have join new pcs, notebooks to this domain to confirm the problem stays on the MAC. I added static IP to everything and added host A rec. in DNS an can ping every device. the Machine name is added to the server in AD once you try join the domain. Then you get the same errors one or more, all dealing with RPC server. Thanks, Again Bruce Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233792

    - win2k-to-win2k drive share directory list updating odd behavior We have a very large, busy wan (ATT MPLS) network with many sites fully meshed connected, with many servers connected with AD. We have many drive shares with various share arrangements between 2k3 - xp, 2k3 - 2k, 2k-xp, and 2k-2k. Everything is working, but... 2k-2k drive sharing is the problem. While the connection maps properly, the directory contents does not list at all, until the f5 update key is pressed, then it is listed correctly - for that folder in the drive share. File copies from this drive share appear to tranfer at normal rates. Peforming a dos "dir" exhibits the same behavior. The same win2k server mapping to a 2k3 share or a xp share, does not exhibit this behavior - even using the same wan path and utilization rates. Only 2k-2k drive shares is affected. We tried various 2k servers at different sites - same result. Sometimes it appears to work, when the wan is not heavily utilized late at night - but not always. Question - why is 2k-2k file shares more sensitive to this over other type of shares. This started about 2 weeks ago, - trending indicates no configuration or utilization changes on the network. Comments, please. The only bad idea is the one left unstated... Thanks, in advance. Jim Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233776

    - "Printer cannot be removed. Access is denied" I have a problem with a printer on a Windows 2003 server, running terminal services. Whenever anyone tries to print to it, they get an "access denied" error. Whenever I log on administratively to the server, and try to view the properties of that installed printer I get an access denied error. I can't even delete, rename, or remove the share on that printer. No matter what I try to do I get that error. Even if I logon to the local administrator account. I've restarted the print spooler service and the same thing happens. The printer is called "Plain". I created a new installation on the same server, pointing to the same printer, using the same print drivers and the same TCP-IP printer port, and called it "Plain-II". "Plain-II" works fine. But I can't delete "Plain" They should be identical in every way but somehow I am locked out of "Plain" The printer is an HP LaserJet 2430 tn. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might delete the old installation on the server? I'm guessing something has gotten corrupted, but to be honest I am at a lost. I'd like to simply delete "Plain" and rename "Plain-II" but I can't even do that due to the "access denied " error. Tag: Windows xp firewall blocking my networked usb printer Tag: 233772

    - Windows 2000 Server Network Connection drops I'm running a Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 hosting a few websites behind a Cisco Local Director. Occasionally, following what seems to be no specific pattern, the Server will drop off the network entirely, not pingable at all, however, when I view the console, there appears to be nothing wrong with it except for the fact that it has lost it's network connection. However, the NIC still says that it's connected. It doesn't appear to be a hardware issue because this is the second server that I've put in this position and the exact same behavior has occurred. Also, I have been able to clear this at least once by shutting down the switch port it is connected to and then starting it back up again. I can only think that there must be some sort of issue with the amount of traffic and possibly something shutting down the interface, although I just can't believe that is the expected behavior. Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas on the best ways to possibly debug this?

    - rdp printer redirection hello, we have a ricoh 2018d printer in our office - this is attached to the network as a stand-alone machine (ie not plugged into the server just into the hub - sorry if my terminology is not quite correct); we have a windows 2003 server running only TS (it is a workgroup computer); our other office has a windows 2000 server... our win2003 server recently had "issues" and the IT people we brought in re-formatted the drive and installed the operating system - setting up TS only. I added the Ricoh to each desktop and our 2003 server as a network printer so the port was like this \\rnp***\aficio2018d we started having problems right away so I re-installed the printer as a local printer with an IP port (is this the same thing as a dot4 port??) so in our office we can print with no problems from our desktops to the printer; we also rdp into the 2003 server (without printer redirection as I installed the printer on the 2003 server as well) and we can print with no problems. When we rdp into our other office (with printer redirection on the client side and it is allowed at the the 2000 server side as well) the printer is not redirected - BUT only for some of our desktops. I figured from what little i undersatnd that it may be because of the port being an IP address - but why would some desktops still work? I ensured that the 2000 server has the same driver that we are using. Anyway, I just tried setting up the printer as a network printer again on my desktop (ie with the \\rnp---\aficio port) and it is redirected !!- I don't want to have two printers set-up on each desktop if I don't have to and I especially don't want the \\rnp printer to start causing problems again - any suggestions or direction will be greatly appreciated!

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

Update here:
The printer problem was down to a seting I had in windows firewall,
using gpedit.msc. I changed that particular setting to reflect the new
IP address and it works ok now.

I still don't know why WinXP can't see either itself nor win2k in My
Network places.

Yep just got one sorted as well. I found some info that said it was down
to computer browser conflict. So I turned off the browser on my win2k
box, rebooted both machines and hey presto, both machines can see each
other again.
