Best setting are the factory defaults in bios, because all hardware
and the o\s have been rigorusly tested,backup before trying new settings.check the intel cpu wether it monitors the load on its processor. most typically overclock at 40% load if you are into
gaming there are to many parameters. depending on your software apps like autocad,then more ram for virtual drive to place work in may help, 8 more

SOURCE: need help dynex security sync wireless

according to the manual that i have, the model if the router that you have, DX-E401, is just a broadband router and doesn't have wireless capability. if that would be the correct model of your device, there's no way that you can enable the wireless encryption since it doesn't have wireless capability. but if you are really using a wireless dynex router, follow the steps below on how to access the router's page and enable the security.

access the router's setup page by typing http://192.168.0.1 on the address bar of your web browser (i.e. internet explorer, firefox etc). by default the username is admin, then leave the password blank.
you will be prompted with the router's page, now go to the wireless settings and look for the encryption field and enbale wpa from there.

if you are not sure whether your router has wireless capability or if you are using another wireless router just give me the exact model and brand then ask me

ciao!

My Atheros AR5007 will only complete a "Local Connection, No Internet Connection" to a NetGear N600 Dual Band Router when Security Options (WPA2-PSK (AES)...ect) are selected on the Wireless...

Since the connection works without the encryption settings, it is NOT a driver issue. It sounds like a missing wireless network security setup problem. So assuming Windows (Mac OSX is similiar):

Connect a laptop/PC to the NetGear via ethernet. It saves on some aggravations later.
Connect to the NetGear and restore the security settings, and remember your keyword.
On your computer, open the list of Wireless Networks (usually Start->Control Panel->Network(ing)->Wireless Networks). The menu sequence might differ slightly, depending on which Windows you're running.
Find and click on "Manage Wireless Networks" (or words to that effect)
Right click on your wireless network's name to get the drop down menu, and select "Properties"
Find a button or tab related to "Security"
Under Security Type, select WPA2-PSK (or Personal)
Under Encryption Type, select "AES"
Under Password (or Security Key), type in your router's WiFi security key word. You may have to log back into the NetGear and find the keyword (yours) or the alternate (gibberish) form.
Save the settings
If you're connected to that wireless network, then disconnect
Try connecting to the wireless network again. It should work this time.

We have a KM bizhub 250, and we upgraded our server to a SBS 2008 Server. Now our scanning is not working. What could be the problem?

If this server is also a domain controler that is usually caused by the following setting:
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always), The default setting for domain controllers is enabled, for others is not configured or disabled. This usually causes problems when acessing the share from devices are not cable of Digitally Sign Communications, like some multifunctionals/scanners or linux machines. This does not happen on all machines since some are capable of Digitally Sign Communications. Usually older machines have this issue.
So, try to disable this setting on the server, on the Domain controller security policy and Default Domain Policy.

Administrative Tools
Domain controller security policy
Local Policies
Security options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally signed communication (always) -> should be changed to DISABLE
Execute Gpupdate /force or reboot the server to apply the policy change

You will not be able to change this setting trough gpedit , local computer policy since it is overrided by the Domain security policy.

On server 2008 one way to get there is the following:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled

Execute Gpupdate /force or reboot to apply policy

Trough gpedit you will be able to see the option but not change it, so I suggest that after the change you cannot scan to the folder check trough gpedit if it is disabled.
If it is not disabled, disable it at the top of the hierarchy. Something may be overriding the setting.

If it still does not work try the following, togheter with the previous setting
Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) -> disabled

Dont forget to execute Gpupdate /force or reboot to apply policy each time you change something.

Also

are you scanning to the server using \\server_ip_address\shared_folder or \\server_name\shared_folder?
Just wondering about name resolution.
Is the domain field configured in the machine? if not you might have to specify the user for authentication like for example: [email protected]

Block ultrasurf

Hi,

UltraSurf is a hard one to block from ISA itself because it uses the local host computer through port 9666 as it’s proxy to intercept browser requests and encrypt them through 443/SSL traffic through your corporate proxy server. UltraSurf uses a network of anonymous proxies like Botnets that can change dynamically at any given time.

So how can you successfully block it? Well I don’t know if you can totally but you may be able to deter it a bit.
A few ways are:

Policy – Do you have an acceptable use policy in-place? If you do then I would think the threat of job loss and termination should be a darn good deterrent.

At the local host – Using group policy, restrict access to the local host site in IE. That would be 127.0.0.1 and Ultra1 that it resolves to. If you have the capability, restrict TCP port 9666 on the local host outbound. Setting software restriction in group policy is another to prevent the UltraSoft application from running.

On the ISA – Go to http://www.isaserver.bm and download Steve’s blocking anonymous domain sets and configure a deny access rule to help block anonymous proxy access. You won’t totally stop access but the list will defiantly put a damper on accessing the most popular sites.

Collective software ClearTunnel is another ISA add-on to help uncover scrupulous activity.

Good luck!

Need to change password from previously changed password

To secure the wireless network or to change any settings on the router you will need to access the router set up interface.
Open the set up interface of the router . Make sure that your computer will be connected to the router with the Ethernet cable.

Once you open the set up page of the router , you will find the place to change the wireless settings of the router. In case of Linksys wireless router , you will see the Wireless Tab at the top.

SSID : It is the name of the wireless network. This name will be shown on your wireless computer or the wireless device so that you can identify your own wireless network. All the routers come with their factory default settings. For example , the Linksys router will come with the Linksys network name.
It will be better to change the wireless network name.

Wireless Security

Change the security mode to WEP. This security type is supported by all the operating system. When change the security mode to WEP, you will find the Network key box to type the network key. Do not type anything in the Passphrase box. Type your network key in the Key 1 Box. If you set the encryption to 65 bits, your network key will be 10 digit hexadecimal number. that means you can use the combination of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and letters a,b,c,d,e,f only. remember it should be exactly 10.
If you set the Encryption to 128 bit, your network key will be the combination of 26 digits. You will need to remember the network key.

WPA

This is one of the most secured type of encryption.
Open the set up interface of the router. Change the wireless security mode to WPA personal. You will find the passphrase box. in this box you can type any password for your wireless network. The password should be the combination of number and letters and it should be 8 or more than 8 characters.
This security type is supported by WINDOWS XP SP2 and above Operating system.

WPA2
This is one of the highly secured type of encryption.
Open the set up interface of the router. Change the wireless security mode to WPA personal. You will find the passphrase box.In this box you can type any password for your wireless network. The password should be the combination of number and letters and it should be 8 or more than 8 characters. Keep the Algorithm to TKIP.
This security type is supported by WINDOWS VISTA and above.

Once you change the wireless settings on the router , try to connect to the new wireless network

Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Iam getting error 80070005 stating it cannot search for windows updates and it encountered an unknown error. I am not a techie, just a grandma who uses the computer alot.

This error can occur for many reasons but generally assocated with IIS connection to a database. Seeing how your are a grandam and more than likely not connecting to anything and that your machine will not connect to windows update. I suspect you have a trogen, rootkit or some other malware. See if you can update your virus software and run a scan it may or may not detect anything. The worst case is that you will need to use your backup disks and re-install windows. You may need to get some onsite help with this. Your machine not being able to connect to either virsus update or windows update is always a dead give away that you have some form of malware infecting your PC.

Not prompted for network security key

Sir,

Under 'preffered networks', which can be found on the Wireless networls TAB in advanced settings, you will see your network there. Click on it and then hit properties. Under the 'Association' TAB, you will see network authentication, choose WPA-PSK or WPA, but I will imagine that your key is a Pre-shared key. Enter it there. Data encryption will be TKIP and not AES. Go to connection TAB, and make sure the box is checked in that section. If these steps fail, then you can always change your encryption to WEP. You can do this using a computer which connects to your internet through the WPA key. Once connected on that PC, open up command prompy using the command cmd in the RUN box when you click on the START TAB. A black box will open, simply type ipconfig and look for "default gateway"...it will have a number with a few dots, like this one: 192.168.1.254.....etc. Enter this code into your internet browser search bar, and hit enter. Your internet providers interface will show up, you can find a tab which will have something to do with wireless security, and there you can change the WPA to WEP, with a WEP key of your choice. If you are prompted for a password then you should know it! Sometimes, the usernames can be simply 'admin'. If you manage to change your security to WEP, you can use your laptop!

All the best.
