I just do not know ATM. This is where I is believe the discussion is focused. UB the Judge! I know where I live. Zero hits since 02/2007. (Personally, on my un-licensed machines, I run Anti-Vir!) Best, Duncan Well I 'gotta' secret to share, you can run NOD and KAV on the same machine without issue, right now. I used to be a KAV supporter - I am not anymore for a number of reasons. Some of which include: price (NOD32 is cheaper), support (NOD32 is better in my experience), performance (NOD32 runs faster and cleaner), and stability (Less weird oddities and bugs). I tried a test of my own sometime ago... I cloned a drive with major infection. I did the clone drive first with KAV and then with NOD32. Then I did the original drive first with NOD32 then with KAV. Guess what NOD32 picked up a bit more then KAV - not enough to throw a 'hissy' about but when I factor in everything else above... -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
Re[2]: [H] Re: Nod32 or Kaspsersky ?
Joe, Thanks for the reply. I have read many stories on the Wilders security forum that support your observations. I just listened to the List banter of the last 2-3 years regarding the various AV products. I was using an old copy of CA's ETrust (?) but it went obsolete (no vdefs!). I decided to give nod32 a 30 day trial. I liked how tiny it was and non-bloated. Quick, quiet, efficient and really strong. Since my initials, I went with their enterprise edition and my LAN is quiet and protected. Will I get hit with something? Sure. Any AV available is not 100%, but for now I'll trust NOD32 for the next 2 years. When the v3.0 AV is finally released, I'll give it a whirl on one of my machines just for a looksee. I do like Eset's use of a fairly strong vdef database and a good heuristics module that does a good job of behavioral analysis. I also like that Eset does AV, malware, rootkits, spyware, and trojans all in one kit. Not a true HIPS, but close. There is a new full security suite (w/firewall) due out soon too. Not ready to test that though. Works for me, but as always, YMMV.

Re: [H] DST glitch again?
Plants and animals don't pay a lot of attention to clocks. I grew up on a farm, and DST is as much a PITA for farmers as everyone else.

[H] Private IP classes
OK, I now use what I read is the Class C private IP address series. I use 192.168.2xx.x. I am told that my sub-net mask should be 255.255.255.0. If this is true, then should not my chosen 3rd quartile of 2xx really be a value 0? Or, does it really mean that my chosen 3rd quartile is somehow ignored? Yes, I do recall discussion about this last year, but back then I was using the Class A private IP series. :) Thank you for any/all de-mystification. Best, Duncan

Re: [H] Private IP classes
There is something like 64 thousand ip addresses in the private 192.168.x.x range. (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255) The subnet mask will determine the range of IP addresses that will be in your local network. Your local network being the computers/devices you have direct access to send data without needing to be handled through a router. The common and default subnet mask that is used in a SOHO network and on a Private C class block is 255.255.255.0. This will allow for a total of 254 hosts. This is the default setting for most consumer routers from Linksys, D-link, Netgear, etc. If computerA had an ip address of 192.168.0.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 it would be able to communicate with the network range of 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254. If computerB had an IP of 192.168.9.5 and the same subnet the valid network range would be 192.168.9.1-192.168.9.254. A ping from computerA would not reach computerB or vice versa because they are on two different networks. Hopefully this crude example shows how the subnet mask determines the ip range; especially, how that particular subnet mask would restrict your ip range to whichever block you choose in the third set of numbers. How did you need to apply this knowledge?? Are you configuring a router or small network in your home??

Re: [H] Private IP classes
Tharin, I am trying to configure both a router and my personal network of 6 (7) devices. 7 if I count the router; which I do. Does that combination have a bearing on this? After 7 years, I was trying to stretch/play a little bit because this is my 2d go-around with high-speed. Perhaps I went too far. I tried to use the 3rd quartile/block of the IP address to define a server and a client PC. It did not work at all. Servers could talk to/see servers but not clients. Clients could talkto/see clients but not servers. Yes, I was trying to use the 3rd quartile/block of the IP address to differentiate servers and clients. Well, no matter. OK, I may now back up and re-implement my old plan of using a Class A network IP address scheme, but use a sub-net mask of 255.255.255.0. This scheme served me well for the last 7 years. You did answer my question and confirmed I did have a grasp about the sub-net mask control. I chose the Class C scheme due to comment here on the list. It just does not work with my chosen IP address series, but now I know that my chosen IP address series may be 'out of bounds.' I will play some more tonight. I will get it to work. More play in process.. Thank you. Best/Most Crisp answer so far... :) Best, Duncan At 16:02 10/29/2007 -0700, you wrote: There is something like 64 thousand ip addresses in the private 192.168.x.x range.

[H] wify printer ?
Have to set up a wireless printer, at the moment have no idea how the network is setup, whether a router or direct. I assume this is no big deal if there is a router. Fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- I have lost my mind, but it must be backed-up somewhere.
[H] Asus bad
Sent back a MB with a blown cap on rma. mb was not giving me any grief. They sent back a different one with the same cap puffed. May have to find another default MB vendor. :'( Be on the phone in the AM to do this again. fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- I have lost my mind, but it must be backed-up somewhere.
Re: [H] Asus bad
Everyone is having trouble with caps lately. I suspected this back when the List started seeing it. I planned 4-6yrs for the inventory to process. Guess we are still seeing stuff with bad caps...$$$ talks! Maybe another few years?
