WiFi security issues? Newbie ? for W7

[RayLopez99]

I always learn things from junior developers. There is nothing wrong
with it. When one thinks that he or she is so grate and think they are
supermen or superwoman, most Linux users hit that at some point, then
it's time for them to pack-up the cape.

Well said Steel. That's why you are a chief architect and these 'know-
it-alls' work for you. BTW I liked the way you sent 'know-it-all'
Arne Vajhøj off in the other thread. I see even Peter Duniho, who is
usually on his side, sends him off (see snippet below). But in
fairness to Arne he does have useful stuff to say--a couple of times
he's helped me out. Just that he's dogmatic (like Peter actually,
LOL).

Same with these Linux freaks. They are so sure of Linux and
themselves. So sure they don't see the forest (<<1% market share) for
the trees (some feature of Linux, like virtual directories, that gives
them a woody).

Given that, it's clear to me you do understand the error you made.

I got a clown with a woody on the chase named Egan. Don't tangle with
that clown in the AV ng, because he will have his nose open on you
for the rest of his stinking life. He is kind of pathetic, and he
needs some tissues for his issues and for his funny nose.

I'll keep that in mind.

Hey inspired by you I now am putting a "IsDirty" bool in all my client
side classes for database apps. Saw this tip of yours in another
thread. Before I was just counting on program execution order flow to
do that (trapping certain sequences of events) which works fine if you
think through all the different ways your program can be executed but
this 'built-in' approach is better, easier to code, etc. I've used
dirty bools before for other stuff but I never thought about using
them systematically for databases.

Also I'm excited about the Rx (reactive extentions) paradigm...will
study that early next year, as well as the e-book* you mentioned
below.

Well I do notice Linux servers are ubiquitous and so there is some
advantage to them--I always thought it was cost--no software license
if you run Linux Apache.

What is Linux Apache?

I don't know everything, but usually I'm pretty good with getting
most of the story right.

Not so far. You have much much to learn. You should as I said
previously, take a step back, quit insulting those of us who do know the
subjects better than yourself and take advantage of it; most of us are
willing to share the knowledge, providing you don't make an ass of
yourself to try and get it. IE: Arguing pointlessly because *you don't*
understand the subject. This isn't a place for dick comparisons.

You are like some sort of old-fashioned village idiot. You don't
even understand when you are being laughed at, but continue to make
a fool of yourself.

I am going to leave this thread, before the temptation to write
something rude or insulting overwhelms me.

I've had to word my posts to him very carefully; which was extremely
painful for me to do. He insults the very people he so desperatly wants
to learn from. He over states his actual abilities and skillsets and
becomes very hostile when it's made painfully obviously. Recent example..
some thing called. "Linux Apache.". Linux is one of several OSes, and
Apache is one of several web server software packages; comes in
linux/unix and windows flavors. However, Linux Apache only serves (to me
atleast) to demonstrate that he's essentially, ****ing clueless.

Here's another laughable example from the archives of how to waste
your time and money. It's one of my favourites from D. lol.

That's really sad. I know best buy grade techs who are a little brighter.

Who is "him"? You talking about me? Why are you measuring your words
"painfully"? You want to insult me? Go ahead, no need to be measured
and restrained. This is Usenet, not the real world (I hope you've
noticed, unless you live in your mom's basement posting here all day).

This last sentence in this paragraph does not even make sense. Are
you on drugs now?

I've been on dialup since the dark ages, just now going to DSL. I
haven't worried to much about firewalls - I could unplug the phone
line. I have used AVG (and others) to augment the windows firewall
software. (I've too many friends in Redmond to feel really secure
trusting MS products - but that's another story.)

So what is the deal with a "hardware firewall"? What is it, how
does it work, is it difficult to setup? ("How high is up?") I'd
google all that, but I'm at home, away from the WiFi hotspot...

thanks in advance.

I have a Speedtouch ISP modem/router, with 4 outputs(no wireless).
If you ask your ISP for a router type, most come with a firewall.
Some call that a hardware firewall, but it is just software/linux
running in flash memory.
This device acts as a hardware firewall, without need to install
anything.

On occasion I have had up to 3 computers connected to the net.

In the browser I enter a site like 10.0.0.xxx, to comunicate with
the router, set options, and test the adsl connection.

The router only allows things to your computer which your computer
has requested.

That pretty much stops most attacks, but cannot stop malware which you
yourself install from sleazy websites.

That is where your AVG or others have to help you.

Can be as simple as a router device with Stateful Packet Inspection or
as complicated as a dedicated computer running a software firewall
application. The "hardware" refers to the fact that it is not software
running on the resource it hopes to protect, but running on some *other*
hardware platform 'between' the protected resource and the perhaps
hostile environment.

Its a software firewall in a dedicated box

I own a Watchguard FW appliance that has been setting in storage since
2005, along with a desktop computer that has Linux.

I own a Billion NAT FW and router, and a desktop computer running
linux, that have been in constant use since I bought them.

<snipped I didn't read it.>

then why on earth did you feel the need to respond to it.

See ya I wouldn't want to be ya.

All that, without reading what was written?

Gosh.

So it must have been just my name that you objected to?


Still, you are right, you wouldn't want to be me.

It required things like intelligence and hard work, and intellectual
integrity.

Qualities you obviusly lack.

Okay, that helps.

Now if I could just get the modem to be initialised, I could move
on to the next problem.

Cant help you there, mine came with an install CD from
