lol you're quick to give people full access LOL...Funneh...I Don't mean give him r00t access, just access to the subdomain I'll create on my server, I like to know that I can trust people :) Pwnt me LoL!

Wowzers you picked me! What a joyful day.

Pick me! Pick me!!!

I think HJT reports the IE version even if you use Firefox as your default browser. But I'm not 100% sure.

Got any onboard VGA slot you can try? Will be the same blue coloured connection as your graphics card's connector :)

Great, want to show the code when your done? I'ld be interested how you worked it all out :)

Ok firstly, I won't do the assignment for you but theres nothing wrong with a bit of direction. Since your a student at University I don't see why you can't find out the code specifics yourself. I'm going to offer help with building an ASP and MS Access driven script, I'll be pretty high level. When it comes to the structure, layout and process of this script you will probably want to go with something like the following: The Database Ok, starting from the ground up. You should only need 1 Table for this application. In this table, as you have already pointed out, you will have 5 columns. An ID column of type unique identifier, and 4 other columns, the Subject, Author, Date and log content. The last 4 will be of type Text, except the Date column, this should be type Date (format XX/XX/XXXX). From here you can manually enter in a few test entry's to get started. That looks like basically it for the database for now. Index Page - index.asp Here is where the web log summary's will be displayed. You just need a simple ASP document, with HTML tables in it. Organise the tables how you want the data to be displayed then we'll look at what needs to be done for getting the database data into the ASP file. Ok you will need 1 database connection object and 1 Recordset. If you aren't sure how to define these and open/close them then I suggest you talk to your teacher or visit http://www.w3schools.com. You said you understand ADO so you should be able to get on with a start. The database connection should just open the MS Access file for reading and then you can go ahead and create a Recordset. With this Recordset you will only need to query it with 1 SQL query. The query will probably need to look something like this: sql = "SELECT * FROM TableName" So you have your web log's and other needed information stored in the Recordset now, now lets write it to the screen. You know your Response.Write commands, referenece the w3schools website if you do not, so go ahead and write out the details as you want them displayed on the screen. This part of your script may look something like this: </pre><table> Subject Date Author "><%=rs("Subject")%> <%=rs("Date")%> <%=rs("Author")%> </ Again, a very high level view of the code, ask your teacher or reference the above website if you need help with the actual coding of it. So that will display all the current entries in the database. Now you want to be able to dig into the entry and view its content. this is why there is a link added onto the Subject of the entry. This links to a new page, which carries over the ID of the row you want. The Viewing Page - view.asp At the top of this page you would need to grab the value of the ID field from the query string with the following code: <% dim id id = Request.QueryString("id") %> Then on this page you will need to create another database connection and recordset. This time the SQL query would look something more like: sql = "SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE ID=" & id The "id" text in the above query will tell the recordset to only return the results for the wanted web log. Then the rest of the view.asp page might look something like this: </pre><table> Subject <%=rs("Subject")%> Date <%=rs("Date")%> Author <%=rs("Author")%> Web Log <%=rs("Content")%> </ Ok I think that'll do for now, don't hesitate to ask questions about the above code and processes if you do not understand. I have not tested any of the above code, I've written what I think will work and how the application should be put together. Please rewrite the script from scratch using the idea and structure above, copy and pasting this code will just give you hell because it is no where near finished. Another thing we haven't covered is the actual input of the Web log's themself. Instead of having to manually add them into the MS Access database you could setup another page, add.asp for example, and create the neccessary HTML form, and database INSERT INTO commands to make this page. This is something that you may want to try implementing yourself after you've completed the initial task, extra marks never hurt anyone :P Please remember that I have explained this process in very little detail, keeping it high level so I'm not acually doing your assignment for you, just giving you a push into the right directly :) Good luck mate and please feel free to ask anymore questions here!

It's an operating system, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/medi ... fault.mspx

Will you be able to use a Database system like MC Access or SQL Server (if available) for this project? Or is the web log data required to be stored in a flat text file, or another format? If you know the answer to the above I can help you write the code! :)

Strange. Uninstall Sun Java from Add/Remove Programs. Untick all Java options in Internet Explorer. Delete the folder c:\windows\.file_store_32. Restart your computer completely, then reinstall Sun Java.

Close any Runescape client or website you have open then delete the folder, C:\WINDOWS\.file_store_32. This is the local files that are needed for playing Runescape. If for some reason there's bad data in here it might cause the problem your having. If this fails then it could be a firewall blocking it.

Not sure if anyone actually asked, but do any websites load at all? http://www.google.com ?

Yup, microsoft being self-centred again.I would hardly call it a self-centred act. The other browsers choose not to support the protocols, Microsoft doesn't force them to exclude them.I withdraw my statement because microsoft may update their OS however they want. However, other browsers should not be expected to incorporate activex. It's specifically owned by microsoft, and microsoft does not own the web. Active-x is not owned by Microsoft. It's actually patented by an American University. Once again it's the other browsers that choose not to support the protocol. I have no problem with Microsoft using Active-x through Internet Explorer to download updates.

My apoligies, the password is converted to uppercase during the LM Response of a NTLM authentication hand-shake. But this still does not store your password in this fashion. There is still algorithm's run against the initial password to create the hash. And even then the hash is used for a 3 way handshake between client/server. I believe the NTLM authentication process would actually require you to be logged on your computer to begin with, I'm not exactly sure what security process is used for logging onto old Windows 9x computers though.

I've never heard of the LAN manager hash having anything to do with the password you create turning uppercase. My understand is that it is a unique encoded hash that the registry stores and uses for authentication with devices that do not support the new Kerberos authentication protocol's. Specifically Windows 9x systems need LAN manager hash enabled to be able to authenticate with eachother, this includes Windows NT 4 servers. The LAN manager hash is also neccessary for standlone Windows 2000 authentication and any sort of authentication from a client to a Windows NT 4 server. So unless you are running a Windows XP/Windows 2000 server only network then this feature should not be disabled. And even then, I fail too see how it will help with your network security, Kerberos authentication is used by default so the LAN manager hash should be irrelivant on newer computers.

Yup, microsoft being self-centred again. I would hardly call it a self-centred act. The other browsers choose not to support the protocols, Microsoft doesn't force them to exclude them.

Out password expire every 28 days and much be changed, we cannot use the same password again. ;) 8 characters is more than enough to be secure. Anything over 6 is pretty hard to brute force. I touched upon everything except the writing down bit (the logging out part doesn't matter if you have a strong password anyway, the file can't be cracked unless it's Windows, in which case yes you should log out). I'll calculate odds... Assuming full alphabet (255): 10 characters will take a conventional computer 18431691879 years. 8 characters will take it 283455. Which are you more safe with? I'll take 10 thank you. You're right, but what if they had a supercomputer with like 100 Itaniums in it? Then you're screwed too. My computer password is 25 characters long and had 5 symbols, 3 uppercase, 12 numbers and the rest lowercase letters. How's THAT for security! If someone's going to go into the trouble of using 100 processors to brute forcing a strong 8 character password then obviously it isn't a normal runescape, or email, or computer account. 6 letter password with uppercase and letters is fine for a normal password.

I highly doubt that a registry key is needed to find your router's gateway. As long as you have your gateway configured correctly in your network connections then the registry key should not be needed. There may be another network issue that is causing website's to not load.

Good ole' Active-x :)

You really need to ensure your entire Windows system is up-to-date no matter what. Unfortunately this will mean tackling that evil, error driven windows update website of which you speak :wink:

I stumbled across an informative article on the subject at hand, give it a read, its interesting :) http://www.md4pc.com/questions/58.htm

For starts, get the latest version of Internet Explorer, http://www.java.com and download the version 5 JRE. Yes, that is the link for downloading java on the first page. Just sounds like you've got a bad java install, and who knows how stable the old Microsoft Java can be on an out-dated operating system.

He shouldn't need a registry key for it, as long as his default gateway is set correctly for his network connection.

Dialup or Broadband, but I figure you have broadband with HCCNet. I don't know what those IP's have to do with HCCNet, but I guess it won't matter if you leave them there, they are only cached name servers. Maybe someone else might be able to give a better insight. Well alas it seems you do not have any malware on your computer anymore :)

Well the 016 entry is adware, so you can safely remove that one. The other entry is for name server's for a cached IP. How do you access the internet and who is your ISP? The cached IP could be to do with your ISP. But I just find it strange because that IP that is cached in your registry is out of any normal ISP range, it's supposed to be reserved.
