  1. I will look into these options. I have not done alot of research about jailbreaking, but I am a little hesitant to do anything that puts my $300 piece of new technology at risk. I would love to have OpenVPN setup for netbook access as well, but I am currently running my PPTP server on my Linksys router. I know it has OpenVPN capabilities but I haven't found a good tutorial to help me get that setup. Additionally, most tutorials suggest that the configuration file can be big enough to brick the router, which is obviously something else I don't want to do.
  2. I suppose that could very well be the case. What would be my best solution knowing this port can be blocked? Are the risks truly that great at a hotspot for basic email browsing? I cannot imagine that many people have a wifi pineapple.
  3. Hello all. I have recently purchased an iPod touch which I have been using to browse the web at home and at public hotspots. I currently have a PPTP VPN setup at home that I wouldn't mind using to secure my connection, but for some reason I cannot connect to it from the iPod at certain hotspots. Any ideas what might be causing these problems and/or are there other ways of securing my browsing from the iPod. By the way I have not jailbroken my iPod, and I am not sure I want to at this time. Thanks, Brennan
  4. Autorun is disabled by Group Policy so I dont really know how it is running. I suppose the first thing I would like to isolate, is what the program actually does. How is the best way to find that out? It wouldnt let me open the autorun in windows, but in Ubuntu, here is the text. From what I can tell, that is just telling the file to run, correct? Is there a way that in a VM I could run the file, and monitor somehow what actually happens? Is there a program that will help me to do that? Brennan
  5. Hello. Recently at my organization, a thumb drive virus has been circulating. It seems to infect the computer and then propagate to any thumb drives that come in contact with the computer. Thumb drives are a major part of how we operate, so getting rid of them is not really an option. This virus is an exe file called ksbdsh.exe. A quick Google search turns up nothing. AVG finds the file and labels it as generic.KLX. A search turns up nothing for this either. Along with the file, comes an autorun, which seems to start the file. Has anyone heard of this, and are their any ways to stop it? Thanks, Brennan
  6. Any experience with this anyone? I have been playing around with it some more, but I just cant get it to work. Gparted in this version doesnt look like any other tool that I have seen. I have also tried chainloading but I cant get that to work. Brennan
  7. Hello, I am trying to set up a multipass. I am in the process of putting GParted on. I am trying to use an older version 0.3.3-0. I cannot seem to get it to work. The files are: Root of drive: boot.images no_emul.00 ISOLINUX BOOT.CAT BOOT.MSG INIT.RD ISOLINUX.CFG LINUX. SPLASH.LSS GPARTED. What do I need for a Grub entry, and what should my folder structure look like on the drive? Thanks, Brennan
  8. I do not believe so. I have a very basic setup with just the DDWRT router.
  9. Hello all. I am new to the forums and have a question regarding a VPN. I am running a PPTP VPN server on my DDWRT router. I am connecting fine and all is well except for one problem. Occationally, if I try to access a network resource by the hostname (ex. \\desktop\Documents) I cannot access it. In addition I cannot ping the hostname. If I access the resource by the IP it works fine. I have also found that if place a period after the hostname (ex. \\desktop.\Documents) it works fine. It seems strange as sometimes it works fine and sometimes I have to add a period. There doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason. Does anyone have any suggestions, or possibly an explanation. Thanks, Brennan
