I have a server that clients connect to. I need to be able to sever a client connection when: 1) the client is connected for a certain amount of time and/or 2) the client bandwidth exceeds a certain amount I need to be able to specify which services/ports to monitor and I need to be able to...

When I do a port scan on the external IP using nmap all the ports read either closed or filtered. This indicates that the router is blocking incoming requests on those ports, does it not? How can a software program change the settings of a hardware router (a separate device) without knowing the...

I'm not sure I'm communicating what I mean or perhaps I don't understand the replies. Say I have PC#1 sitting behind a router (which is acting as a firewall). No ports are forwarded to LMI on PC#1 through the router. In fact, all ports are closed. Now I log in to LMI on PC#2 and connect to...

I realize the login thing. I would like to know about the flowthrough particulars. How can LMI allow remote control without forwarding ports on a hardware firewall?

How do programs like LogMeIn and TeamViewer work? By this I mean how are they able to communicate on ports through fire walls and non-public IPs? Can someone give me a summary or a place to start looking on the subject more indepth?

I will try to disable Word as the default editor and see if that fixes it. I didn't think to look for that one. As it is now we can terminate the Outlook process and restart Outlook...

I have a computer that won't end the Outlook 2003 process no matter how Outlook is shut down (Using the X for File -> Exit). The process stays active (can see it running in the task manager). When we try to open Outlook again it won't start (presumably because the process is still running)...

I see all the options now...which one would you recommend?

For Acronis, I mean ;)

Will the Home Version work? I don't see a "Pro" version...or maybe I'm missing something.

I would like to know if there are any freeware apps to image a live Windows 2000 Server (no resetting or going into DOS type things). I plan to put the image on an external USB drive. As well, I would like to be able to schedule daily tasks so I don't have to do it manually. I've looked at...

I don't know the file system type. It wasn't in the manual for the system and tech support for the system is non-existent.

Yeah, the Bios sees the drive and it is named properly as far as I can tell.

I used Easy Recovery Pro and found the data but it was all messed up. I think the data was stored in a proprietary format so the known header signatures aren't recognizing the data. Maybe? I tried this drive on a number of different systems and in an external USB enclosure. The data just didn't...
