Just wanting to get your views/opinions on setting up OfficeScan 10 SP1 built-in Firewall..

I understand its port based so its going to be a huge headache setting up every port for every application for every web server service.

Can anyone provide me information as to what the benefits are of using this and most importantly is Trend going to refine the OfficeScan 10 built-in firewall to include Application based filtering? I cant justify as to why we should go ahead and enable the firewall and waste several man hours of planning and implementing..

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.]]>

McAfee firewall blocked it.

I looked up in the McAfee "Network" tab the IP address of my PC and the Wii, which was now shown in the diagram.

I added the Wii number to the trusted list, and now it works.

BUT I have noticed another IP address when I click the little computers in the task bar.

Which is correct ? Seems McAfee picks up the local IP address.

By using this, have I opened my pc to others whop may share that address ?

Should I ring my internet provider to get a more specific IP address for the Wii ?]]>

Simple Troubleshooting Steps
While the first rule of troubleshooting in the world of electronics is to turn the device off and on again, there is a little you’ll want to do before taking that obvious step. The first thing to do when you get an error is to write down or otherwise record the error message you got and to remember what you did to get the error. This is so you can duplicate the error to find out if you’ve fixed it.

When you run a program, it is loaded into the memory of your computer where it resides as long as it is running. Some runtime errors happen only in that copy of your program that is in memory. When you shut down the program and restart it, the memory is usually cleared. If the problem is only in the memory, restarting your program will fix it. To test that, just restart your program and do whatever it was that you did to get the error in the first place.

Always Restart the Computer before Calling for Help
Sometimes closing just the program isn’t enough. Sometime an error will affect something else in memory, and you need to restart the entire computer to completely clear out the memory cache. This is an essential step to troubleshooting, and one that you should always do before calling anyone for help. After restarting your computer, try to repeat your problem to test if it was fixed.

Software Conflicts and Bad Installations Can Cause Runtime Errors
If you are still getting the error, it may be caused by a more serious issue. The next step is to check for conflicts with other software by shutting down any other program running. This may include your security software, so if possible disconnect from the Internet first. If the problem is fixed by shutting down a different program, you may need to contact the developers of the software to get a fix.

The problem is still happening? Time to reinstall the problem software. First uninstall the program, and then do a clean reinstallation. Do not add any patches or updates yet. Test to see if your problem happens. If not, install patches and updates one at a time and test between each effort. Sometimes a software update can cause unexpected errors. If it does, you should contact the software developers to let them know.

Pulling Out the Big Guns

If that doesn’t fix it, your problem is more serious. You should clean your registry with a registry cleaner and run any security software to check for viruses or spyware. A good registry cleaner will solve many problems that aren’t immediately obvious to a regular user. Some subtle problems can be caused by well-hidden spyware. When all else fails, it’s time to take your computer to an expert. Be sure to let the people at the computer shop know what steps you took to troubleshoot.

Should be done:

- DO NOT use the default SSID
- DO NOT broadcast SSID
- Change the administrator Username/Password for your router
- Use WEP or WPA (if available on your router)
- Use MAC filtering if possible
- Limit the number of DHCP assigned IP address (or use static IP)
- Block ALL unassigned IP addresses
- Turn off default shares on the computer, set permissions for files that need to be shared.
- Turn off Printer sharing if it is not needed.

Optional: (not so basic)

- Limit broadcast range
- Use rotating WEPS
- When assigning IP addresses use class A or B IP’s and a class C subnet (sort of a Security through Obscurity technique against people scanning for active IP’s)
- Use a form of data encryption during transfers
- Rotate assigned IP addresses

In addition to these wireless security percussions that must be taken you must also remember to:

- Keep your operating system fully updated.
- Be sure to update your antivirus program
- Use Strong passwords (a good password should be at least 8 characters long, contain both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters)
- Change your password every few months
- DO NOT use standard passwords (i.e. the same password for everything)
- Be careful what you download
- Use a program such as Ad-aware, or Spybot search & destroy to help control adware/spyware

Viruses can get into a computer system simply by visiting a certain webpage where the virus is hidden and lurking in the pages. They can also infect computers if the user downloads media from a peer to peer file sharing site. The virus can either be caught from another user's files that unknowingly contain a virus, or through a file where a user has purposely added a virus to the file.

Most viruses are given a threat meter, from least damaging to highest alert. There are websites dedicated to compiling all the latest threat data with information on the threat and removal instructions as well. Check them often to be sure you're running the latest updates.
