Networking tutorial?
"Hugh Candlin" wrote in message
wrote in message oups.com... Is there perhaps a good tutorial hidden away somewhere on Win98se networking? For example how a browser would be instructed to use a particular network or how the bindings work? Thanks. You'll get a lot of good information on this site. https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 It may scare you a little once you realize that you are about to subject your PC to a thorough probing of its defenses. I've always like that site too, and I also like it when I scan mine and see this for the results: (like most of you I'm sure) http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/978/grcsu8fb.gif If so, ask yourself if you'd rather it were done in a positive manner, with feedback and advice on how to close the loopholes, as this site does, or would you rather find out the hard way. He [Steve Gibson] also covers bindings in minute detail. Yep it's very good, and although a bit wordy but still it's right on. After I had done mine I made some quicker notes to do it next time.

Try this one: sbcglobal.help.tech.connectivity.dsl they should be able to give you some advice Ah, if I can find the newsfeed that carries SBC groups. I think my problem is Win98se or the NIC or both. How can you tell if a NIC is working? Is the little green/red light on the card lit/blinking?? Also, you should be able to Q your modem and see if it will let you through. Have to ask tech support how to do that. If your on SBC, their news servers carry their own newsgroups! -- The Seabat |

Networking tutorial?
I am all green too with my mishmash Kerio rules! Ah, ha, ha! And I don't exist...!...
........Quote.......... Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice. ......EOQ................ -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Rick Chauvin" wrote in message ... | "Hugh Candlin" wrote in message | | wrote in message | oups.com... | Is there perhaps a good tutorial hidden away somewhere on Win98se | networking?
