edited September 2004 in Software
Grrr! So I installed XP and SP2 because Fish wanted to know what A64s did. So I installed it and try to use it and it's worse then a Qed up 2000! TCPIP.SYS only allows 10 connexions @ a time so Aza and Freenet are screwed unless I do a Q Special on XP which I installed so I WOULDN'T have to. And DEP/NX crashes AIM and a ton of other stuff! And I disable a bunch of unneeded crap and now about

    That's what routers are for, or @ least I find them handy for that.

    when u say 10 connnections do u mean, 10 ports fowarded? cos i swear i have more than that
  • QQ
    No I do NOT mean that. Connections and ports forwarded are NOT the same thing @ ALL!

    Connections are TCP and UCP, well connections. Do a netstant from the DOS prompt and see them.

    Ports forwarded, well you know about them.

    Right, all of the 'ESTABLISHED' ones are (active) connections.

    once again windows XPlosion fucks up again. security my ass. coveinece my ass.
    2000 rocks anyways. xp SP1 is slow as shit.
  • Ka0sKa0s
    See, I dont go disabling tons of things, and I can keep windows working for a looong time. Why? Because I dont like to ruin my OS and need to reinstall, and re-customize it. I just disable the services I know I wont be using, change the theme to classic, the start menu to classic, set my wallpaper and defauly browser and I'm set. DEP doesnt give me any problems. And I DID see that the 10 connections things doing stuff, Im still looking for a way around it.
  • QQ
    Well I'm gonna be in SuSE 9.1 soon so :fist: @ XP!

    -Q
  • SlashSlash
    XP Sucks... I know, you can tune it to be like 2000, to be more faster and secure... but isn't it much easier to install 2000 or 2003??
  • BODBOD
    i dont have any probelms with XP SP2, stuff works now
  • QQ
    Or, as I am about to do, install Linux!

    Don't tell me that you won't get hacked by a random "advanced user" on the net!!
  • QQ
    Rephrase that, I didn't understand...

    -Q
  • SlashSlash
    Everyone who is an advanced internet user, who has a port scanner and a terminal can get full access to someone's WIndowsXP and hack it. Because it's insecure...
  • BODBOD
    you could hack anything if you tried, its whether someone thinks you have anything worth hacking for
  • SlashSlash
    Linux is almost impossible to hack...that's proved.
  • QQ
    Well, provided the Administ (I) don't do something stpuid like leave the root passwd blank or fail to update it.

    -Q
  • BODBOD
    if someone thinks that you have something worth stealing, tehn they will
  • SlashSlash
    How they will? It's almost impossible.
  • BODBOD
    they'll try, probably not get anywhere though
  • QQ
    Easy, hire a few retired NKVD officers and torture the root passwd out of me.

    -Q
  • BODBOD
    i dont know what my password is, just the pattern of keys on the kbd
  • QQ
    I don't know what my root passwd is yet, I haven't chosen it.

    It's not a "maximum of 10 connections" that SP2 enforces. Here's a quote from Microsoft:
    The TCP/IP stack now limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts. After the limit has been reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved at a fixed rate. Under normal operation, when applications are connecting to available hosts at valid IP addresses, no connection rate-limiting will occur. When it does occur, a new event, with ID 4226, appears in the system
  • AnonymousAnonymous
    I'd just like to add ...

    The reason Microsoft implemented that limit was because 10+ simulataneous incomplete outbound connections = port scanning 99% of the time. Limiting these connections to 10 severely slows down people with their port scanners, not to mention any future worms that spread by randomly scanning IP segments.

    I believe I mentioned that in here somewhere - maybe not. But I did notice that MyNapster and Shareaza can no longer connect. But it definately will slow down the scanners, and worms, since they can only make 10 connections at a time, but its still a pain in the ass not being able to use some filesharing networks. It even makes BitTorrent have trouble. Im going to look for a hacked TCPIP.SYS that will allow you to make more than 10 connections.
