PCanywhere question

For some reason, one of the PC's on my network does not display the host icon (little computer) in the tray. Anyone know how to get this to appear? I have gone threw the help files and read me files. And nothing touches on this. The strange thing is I can connect to this PC, and the host service is ...

Besides, anyone who is going to sniff your network is going to bring along an anlyzer to boot and ping sweep your networks.

any advantages from using a HUb?

Get a firewall. Post back which one you get, and someone if not I, can tell you how to configure. Keep in mind, most firewalls will set the programs default ports the first time you connect the app to the net. And if any other ports are accessed, you will get a connection permission warning or ...

Regardless of your firewall type, configure the firewall program to block all remote ports in and out TCP and UDP, except 4661-4663. And set local ports to any for that program. Most software firewalls do this automatically ...

Are you using additional hardware other than what is built into your board? If not, don't worry about it.

I understood from the start. I looked up your mobo. So I was aware you had disabled everything onboard. Just make sure you disbaled the onboard stuff correctly. Otherwise, Win2000 will give you problems. XP automatically disables unused devices most of the time.

Yeah, they are a hassle. Especially when you want to upgrade your sound or video. Even after you disable the onboard device, it can still cause problems because it still exists. On the other hand, for around a $100-$120 you get everything you need built in to the board. I have a DFI AM33-EL on one ...

He has a single layer, mobo. With everything onboard. It will not re-assign different IRQ"s in this case. Now if he had , PCI video, sound and nic, then you would be correct. I have gone through this all ready, and will never buy another mobo like that again.

If it's IRQ 9. thats happens quite a bit in XP. Even if you manually change the IRQ's. most likely you will go back to the prior IRQ.

Not sure what to tell you. Did you delete your file table before you formated? Or just formatted and installed Win2000?

Do you mean they are all asiigned the same IRQ? In Device Manager? Your mobo has all that you mentioned onboard.

Try going into BIOS and search around for " reset data configuration"
