I need to block internet access on a per- user basis, easy enough, use a logon / logoff script probably by redirecting that users gateway to an invalid gateway, like 127.0.0.1 sounds good, problem is, what command do I use to do this? Been searching technet, COTSE etc. for days. I know it can be done, a sadly departed sysadmin had two closely - guarded 'internet on' and 'internet off' scripts he used to run on miscreant users profiles in the old days when I was just a power user.
I reinstalled my HP printer and camera. Decided to go to msconfig startup, and uncheck them did not need them to run all the time. A day or two before I downloaded a program called cloned cd 42.02 and left the start up alone. While in startup I decided to uncheck all unneeded programs. Received this error: Access denied error returned while attempting to change a service. Youmay need to log on as adminstratr to make the specified changes. Well, I am the administor
After running virus scans in Safe mode I attempted to restart into Normal mode but the computer just hung at the boot screen indefinately. I finally forced it off. When I switched it back on it gave me the usual black screen saying "Windows did not shut down successfully" and instructed me to use the arrow keys to choose how to start windows, otherwise it would load the "last known successful configuration"
However at this screen only the arrow keys do not react, making it impossible for me to select Safe mode, and although Safe mode was actually the last successful configuration, it proceeds to attempt to load Normal mode and stops at the login screen every time
setting up more than one user logon for windows xp home edition w/ sp2 installed (using fat32). What I would like to acheive (if possible) is to limit my teenagers (2) access to certain files and programs. More specifically programs such as windows explorer (including right-click on START button), access to the "RUN" command, control panel, and other system controlling programs. I have searched on C-Net and microsoft, finding bits and peices but not all together in 1 post and not a step by step. I am not afraid to edit the registry.Also I do not want to convert this comp to ntfs (unless there is a way to back up a massive amount of data without a cd/dvd burner, as I am under the impression that a re-install of XP and reformatting of hard drive is required to switch to ntfs). What would be ideal (and maybe easier to do?) would be to have teenage-user1 and teenage-user2 logon bring up only a desktop with no taskbar and/or START button, thus allowing only access to the programs that I shortcut to the desktop (this thought just occurred to me while typing this).
These children are 15 and 16 and are smart enough to type a google search for password/registry/command prompt hacks and crackers and such. I haven't seen anything in regaurds to what I am looking for all on 1 system or complete in 1 post/step-by-step. Possibly I am not typing the correct search words, but seems alot of text for a search ( am not typing "the" "and" etc. and am using/trying as many buzzwords as I can think of...) and I get no way too much irrelavent and sometimes confusing info or no matches at all. I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill with how I want to do this, as it probably has been done before, if so a link(s) would be much appreciated as would any advice from "seasoned/in-the-know" users/programmers.
I’m having problems with my laptop, which started today. Whilst browsing the internet the system locked up, leaving me with no alternative than to hold down the power button until the system turned off. When I turned the computer back on it froze shortly after logging on, before going to a blue screen saying,
‘A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer
Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc00000005, 0xEE1A8B3A, 0xF70E97E8, 0x00000000) Beginning dump of physical memory Dumping physical memory to disk: xx’
I’ve booted Windows several times and the hex addresses all stay the same. I’m thinking it might be useful to upload the memory dumps, but don’t know how to do this. I have made several small attempts to repair the system. Firstly I started the computer in safe mode and scanned the hard drive using AVG Free, which (surprisingly) found several Trojans and other viruses. This made no difference when starting the computer, so I pressed F8 again when Windows was starting and chose ‘Last Known Good Configuration’ which again made no difference. Finally I started the computer in ‘Safe mode with Command Prompt’ and ran ‘chkdsk’ which found no errors...........
After long periods of my internet connection being idle (2+ hours usually), all programs requiring internet access are unable to connect. By idle I mean I leave to run some errands with no programs other than Zone Alarm running. My DSL modem still has all lights flashing and active. There are a couple other scenarios where this occurs as well. Ex. I'm playing WoW for extended periods but not using the internet through any other program, then upon alt-tabbing no other applications are able to connect to the internet even though WoW is still connected and functioning. Rebooting the router/modem doesn't fix it, but rebooting the comp does.
I think that I have a virus which is stopping me from 1) Installing Norton Internet Security 2005 properly, and 2) Stopping me from accessing all anti-virus related sites, for example - www.symantec.com, ww.grisoft.com, www.pandasoftware.com, and when i tried to download AVG 6.0 from another site which was unrelated to antivirus, I found that I could access the site but the download failed.
a pc with windows xp pro suddenly started not to access the internet or the workgroup it normally worked on. ethernet card is present in hardware devices, network connection says it "is there", the IP numbers etc. are all as they were.I have even tried a rollback to the time it worked fine, but no net
My computer starts up normally.It always just autologs on since I'm the only one using my windows xp computer. However, before anything can be displayed it immediatley logs off to the logon screen. I click my username and start the login process (i have no password and before even switching to my wallpaper or anything it says stuff like logging out and saving your settings.
I tried booting in safe mode too and the same infinite logon loop occured to, even with the default administrator account. The last thing I remember doing before this happened is I was playing City of Heroes when it crashed forcing me to restart my computer. This happens occasionally in certain programs but I've never had anything like this happen before. I tried unplugging my keyboard, mouse, usb devices, ethernet cable, no luck. Intel Pentium 4 1.7 ghz Geforce 5600 FX 256 mb windows xp home service pack 1, in case any of that matters
computer in my possession crashed, and when i reset, my internet has gone wonky. I use MSN as my ISP, and before, i could access internet explorer, or firefox, or any program without ever actually having to sign in to MSN. after the crash, however, i now have to sign in to access internet explorer, firefox, and a couple programs. what angers me, however, is that i DONT have to sign in to access trillian. Limewire, also, will connect, but wont download anything without msn being logged in. How do i get back to how it was? And no, system restore did not work.
I've seen another post somewhere and someone else had this problem, but I haven't found a solution. We're using WXP Pro, SP2. After doing a repair install (the other person just had it after using Windows Update), at logon, after entering the correct, AND VALID, password either for a user Or the Administrator, Windows Logon displays the following Logon Message in a box: "!The system cannot log you on due to the following error: "The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect. "Please try again or consult your administrator."
No matter how many times logon is attempted, or with what account, the message continues to be issued. Thus, NO ONE can logon to the GUI. The Recovery Console can be used to logon as Administrator, but no password is requested even though there is one in place. I've searched the MSKB but didn't find any reference. Implementing "Last known good configuration" does not fix the problem.
I have an issue where if any user sends an invitation via Outlook to the administrator for Remote Assistance and the Administrator opens the attachment in the received message to Remotely Assist I get the following error message displayed: Logon Message "You do not have access to logon to this session" If I remotely connect using RDP to the same desktop it works fine.I have enabled Remote Assistance, been through various GPO settings and nothing seems to fix this issue.
When i boot up the system hangs at the blue 'Windows xp' screen, the 'Windows is starting' is missing and it goes no further, the logon screen does not appear so i can't get in. I have recovery console on and i can get into the drive by booting in from another drive/operating system
I just Installed Windows XP X64 onto my desktop PC and cannot access the internet. My graphics is not displaying like it's supposed to, and the sound isn't working. The graphics, and sound I can figure out myself, but the internet I've come to a brick wall. I have a 1394 connection, but there's no local area connection. I'm at a wall, I'm using a linksys router and I get no I.P. address. I've tried going directly from the modem to the PC, and powercycling my modem, and still nothing
I have a problem with a second computer connecting to the internet. I have had my adapter checked and was told it was ok. I have ran the second computer directly into the dsl connection and it still will not allow me to connect to the internet. The only error message I have received is at boot up and it says SymSPort.exe error has occured and needs to close.
I have downloaded numerous programs like some online poker games for example and when trying to open the program it says there is an internet connectivity problem but anoher program I downloaded a long time ago connects to the internet just fine, I've tried everything I can think of like turn off the fireall but that does not work So I'm hoping somebody out there can help me,
Using Windows XP Home Explorer 6 - some of my programs can't access the Internet - they can't update or validate themselves. Email (outlook express) works fine and Explorer works but programs that need to access the internet like AutoCAD return an error message that there is no internet connection found.
I got sick and tired with the scrunny performance of xp and did a clean reinstall (after backing up most of teh files.). Now reinstalled and cant get access to internet, my laptop connected to the router dsl connection works fine but when I connect my pc and set up a connection it ends up trying to dial in whereas I use the ethernet, also the ethernet doesnt show any drivers (and I dont have a driver backup disk).I have access via another computer to download from the internet, so can anyone help me with sites/softwares that can determin the required drivers.
I am running a computer with Windows XP, sp 1 and norton antivirus 2004. I had some bugs on the system Coolweb search or look to 2. Ran hijack and adaware. Went one step to far. I can not access the network or the internet. It worked till I messed with the lsp. Ran lsp fix and what is there is suppose to be. Any ideas, I ran system restore and deleted the network card, no luck, short of reloading windows xp, I am at a loss?
Thanks for any help, buddy is not very happy with me...
I just put together a new computer with a ASUS P5P800 motherboard, 1gb Ram, 200gb hard drive. AMI BIOS, Marvell 88E8001 GB LAN controller (built in NIC) and I am unable to access the Internet. Device manager lists the Network adapter and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It also hangs whenever I try to use dialup. It dials and hangs. Tested modem in Control panel and I can Query the modem fine. I suspect that it has to do with my BIOS settings, but I cannot figure it out. I am running WinXP Pro, SP1.
I have several workstations that can access the internet and xbox and ps3 just fine. but for some reason my main pc can no longer access any website page, but can still browse the LAN and get to the routers homepage, and i can get my dchp from router so we know this is not a physical layer one issue with the nic card or network cable, it seems like its just a http port 80 issue? any suggestions maybe reset my IP stack?I have moved my question to the "Networking section" can you please remove
I have checked on the ntoskrnl subject but it does not relate to mine.After booting up a window popup with the following request:" The following program has recently been modified and is trying to access the internet" Progam name:C:windowssystem32 toskrnl.exe
I have XP Pro fully patched with all service packs. Every time I install ZoneAlarm Pro, Windows Explorer asks for server access to the internet. At this moment, I have Windows Explorer completely blocked from the internet. Why would explorer.exe want internet access?
I have two computers one is running W2000 and the other is running Windows XP Home. They are both hooked up to a Linksys router. Today I cannot access the internet on the XP computer. There is an icon in the system tray and when I click on it it says acquiring network address. Could someone please tell me how to get a network address.
I have a computer running XP1 which does not have access to the internet. I received an xp2 disk in the post and tried to update the computer. Unfortunately, after going through the lengthy update process, the computer freezes - after a couple of opening pages the 'running blue beads' sequence opens up and freezes. Can anyone advise me what to do please - as I can't access my computer at all.
I have a standalone Dell Pentium 4 computer with XP Home SP2. I just recently set up with a password protected account and also a limited account. I want to limit internet access on limited account.
I'm having a problem that I could really use some help with. Two days ago I started having a problem accessing the internet after re-booting my machine. My machine is virus free, I'm sure of that. I thought it was some software that I had installed eg. ProSecurity. I uninstalled all traces of it. Still I have this problem. After re-booting I need to manually re-start my router in order to connect to internet or send/receive mail. I can get an IP but can't ping anyone. In Event Viewer I have these msg's.
1)The IP address lease 192.1 for the Network Card with network address 001151 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.XXX.XXX.X (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
2)Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 001151.The following error occurred: The operation was canceled by the user. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
3)The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error:an invalid argument was supplied.
Hello, my friend at school built me a computer about two years ago. I recently got a debilitating virus on it, so I decided to reinstall the OS. I previously had XP Pro on it, but I didn't have the disk or the serial number so I installed a copy of XP home that I had laying around my house. After re-formating the hard drive and installing xp, I am now unable to access the internet.Also the graphics look very poor on my monitor. I am guessing it has something to do with my motherboard. So I went into device manager and there is a ?! next to the following things: ethernet controller, pce device, sm bos controller, unknown device and video controller.I have an ASUS P5L-vm socket 775 motherboard. I tried going on their website and looking up what to install, but I was unable to decifer which one to grab.
My friend was given a laptop that was totally poluted with trojens (256) and other malware. He could not get on the web at all. I ran Avast, adaware spybot and eliminated the mal ware. Still no internet. Next I went to services and changed the apporiate settings that had been turned off and wow internet sort off. I can access some sites but not all. I was able to update to service pack 2 and do all of the updates.
