The unencrypted meebo.com site does encrypt your password but stops there. By accessing …

    Jan 9, 2007 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    In helping a visitor to troubleshoot running my IIS FTP ban script, I realized that while XP makes it appear as though it doesn't support banning users by IP address, it actually does provide that support; you just have to ban the IPs programatically.

    UPDATE 12/18/06: The startup script has been modified slightly (cscript.exe was changed to wscript.exe). Now, console users will no longer encounter a blank black box upon login. UPDATE 11/21/06: Now that banning at the IP level has been added to the script, offending users are completely banned before they can even …

    Apr 28, 2006 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    [super old post, reposted] A few weeks ago, I asked in an IT forum if it was possible to have a "perma-VPN" connection with Windows XP. After searching for awhile, I found that Microsoft calls perma-VPNs "Demand-Dial Interfaces" and these can only be found in the Windows Server family, not Windows …

    Apr 26, 2006 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Last night I got locked out of my Compaq DL360's iLO. I searched the web to find how to reset the Administrator password and read that, for the most part, I'd have to be at the console. Bah! My servers are in San Jose and I'm up here in San Francisco, I didn't want to make a trip just to reset my passwords. I continued …

  • AppleScript: McVPN

    Apr 10, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    This bandaid is mighty handy for pesky OSX disconnects. I don't really know what causes it and unfortunately, I don't have time to fully figure it out. I do know that changing my gateway back to my local gateway helped tremendously. Also, changing my default nameserver to a local nameserver helped too. Now, I get …
