Matthew and I just finished a site for a local customer. You can check it out at WestMarkBrokers.com.
At first, a real estate site seems kind of complex, but thanks to the folks over at Open-Realty, we were able to come up with a workable design and very functional site. There were a few bugs that we had to iron out, but after that the design went pretty smoothly.
Of course, this is all being hosted with my web hosting company.
When using tsclient, a remote desktop/terminal services/vnc client, if you connect in full screen mode to a server it can be difficult to disconnect or switch to another application because there is no ‘control bar’ at the top.
To toggle full screen mode, use the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
Today I was setting up a VPN server and had to figure out what ports and protocols to enable on our Cisco PIX 515E firewall. Here they are:
PPTP:
To allow PPTP tunnel maintenance traffic, open TCP 1723.
To allow PPTP tunneled data to pass through router, open Protocol ID 47.
L2TP over IPSec
To allow Internet Key Exchange (IKE), open UDP 500.
To allow IPSec Network Address Translation (NAT-T) open UDP 4500.
To allow L2TP traffic, open UDP 1701.
Here’s the Cisco access list: (gre=Protocol ID 47, pptp=1723, isakmp=500)
access-list OUTSIDE permit gre any host OUTSIDEIP
access-list OUTSIDE permit tcp any host OUTSIDEIP eq pptp
access-list OUTSIDE permit udp any host OUTSIDEIP eq 1701
access-list OUTSIDE permit udp any host OUTSIDEIP eq 4500
access-list OUTSIDE permit udp any host OUTSIDEIP eq isakmp
(edited to update UDP port 5500 to 4500 as noted in the comments)
I had been noticing what sounded like a vacuum leak lately when driving the BMW. Also, the colder the weather has gotten, the worse the car has been idling in the morning. Sometimes it would even die after starting up. Eventually it lit up the ‘Service Engine Soon’ lite.
After a little inspection, it was found to have two fairly large tears in the intake ‘boot’ – the tubing that guides air from the air filter down to the throttle body.
This item is separated into two separate pieces, and I found both with a great website (RealOEM).
I will be ordering the parts soon, and replacement should be fairly easy.
This site allows you to try out a large selection of php and mysql based software, without having to install them all on your own server.
The site is refreshed every 2 hours, so you don’t have to worry about passwords getting changed and other problems with having multiple people having administrator access.
Check it out.
Which is the best? AMD or Intel? Read this review to see why I’ve been a long time AMD fan.
For me, Google was the most relevant.
A public experiment discovering which of the top three search engines (Google, Yahoo, or MSN) really offers the best results. By taking the test you also find out which engine you personally prefer (and it’s a blind test, so prejudice won’t effect the outcome).
What makes Newegg so successful? BW Online talks to one of the best retailers on the net.
Seems like a cool idea.
Black Alchemy’s Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP’s cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables.
These guys deliever a massive table of hashes with corresponding passwords, called ‘rainbow cracking.’ They’re planning on selling it; but I’m sure it’ll be availble on torrent in no time.
Also, this is done for free at http://www.loginrecovery.com with an option to pay to get quicker access.
