  1. I'm looking for a NAS box for my home network so i can use it to back up all my machines and stream stuff to my PS3. So far, I've looked at the Netgear RND2000 and a Linksys/Cisco media streamer and the netgear seems to be winning (partly because of the functionality it offers and also because netgear have a promo running where you can get a free 500gb hdd). Does anyone have any recommendations for NAS drives? (Yes, i know about freenas, but i don't have the space for another PC and i wouldn't want another machine on 24/7 so that kinda puts that idea out the window) EDIT: the Linksys that i was looking at is the nmh410 A bit more information, I'd preferably like to have: 2 drive bays rsync functionality raid 1 (for mirroring)
  2. decrapifier (for new machines, or new builds from restore partitions etc) Avira rescue CD (no need to have a working windows install to scan for viruses as its a linux live CD) Combofix (for the really tough stuff that MBAM doesn't shift)
  3. Please note: This is intended as a joke, not to suggest that you start pirating things. http://i.imgur.com/GxzeV.jpg
  4. That's Brilliant! It's pretty true about Defender though
  5. View topic - DHCP not working on basic red + green? • community.smoothwall.org http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24960
  6. I tried that (well tried to test it in virtualbox) and got a kernel panic in virtualbox and the setup never completed properly in vmware player. and regarding the case sensitivity, it should be -C as filenames are case sensitive in Linux.
  7. HijackThis is another good program to identify stuff installed and possible malware infections. I helped someone on another forum and they said they had run malwarebytes several times. I got them to run HJT which showed that they hadn't run MBAM as their machine still had mywebsearch on it (which MBAM should remove first time). They finally ran MBAM and it found several trojans and other infections.
  8. No. It should be a folder on the top level of the filesystem (eg. /tmp = C:\tmp for windows machines)
  9. delete the dgav .tgz file from '/tmp', then redownload it (& copy it across to the smoothie's /tmp folder) now log into the smoothie via putty (or similar) and type 'tar -zxvf /tmp/DGAV-SW3-2.8.0.6-6.4.4.2-i686-b012.tgz -C /' to extract it. then run '/tmp/install-dgav' to install it Here is the output of a successful installation of dgav: testsw (root) ~ $ tar -zxvf /tmp/DGAV-SW3-2.8.0.6-6.4.4.2-i686-b012.tgz -C / tmp/install-dgav var/smoothwall/mods/filtering/dgav/archives/dgav.bz2 var/smoothwall/mods/filtering/dgav/version var/smoothwall/mods/filtering/dgav/installed var/smoothwall/mods/filtering/dgav/install.pl usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Log/Log4perl/Util/ usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Log/Log4perl/Util/Semaphore.pm testsw (root) ~ $ /tmp/install-dgav About to Install dgav - version DGAV-SW3-2.8.0.6-6.4.4.2-i686-b012 Installing Base Files Installing dgav Files Installing Config Files Updating Green IP Address Information [192.168.1.49] Patching sysinit Restarting Smoothd [OK] Finished Installing dgav testsw (root) ~ $
  10. In which case it probably hasn't been extracted correctly as it should create the needed directories. I'd redownload the DGAV archive, just to rule out any possibility of a corrupt archive
  11. put the dgav .tgz file into /tmp & extract it with the command given on the DGAV install instructions page, then type 'cd /', press enter (which should take you to '/'), then run '/tmp/install-dgav' which should install it for you.
  12. just did a test run on a virtual smoothie. install-dgav didn't run when i was in the /tmp dir, but as soon as i changed to / and ran install-dgav, the script worked edit - as did the command i posted on the last page.
  13. try redownloading the file as it sounds like either the file is corrupt or it hasn't been extracted properly. You haven't forgotten the '-C /' bit on the end of the extraction command have you?
  14. I had this problem and it turned out i needed to type /var/smoothwall/mods/filtering/dgav/install.pl to install it successfully
  15. the dansguardian mod has virus scanning enabled (it uses the inbuilt clamav scanner) as default I don't think urlfilter scans for viruses (it didn't last time i tried it, however i'm not sure if the later versions have it or not)
  16. Not very technical i know but opera has an option to refresh the page automatically every 5/10/15 mins
  17. That is Grub2. Grub 1 (legacy) has a version number of 0.97. The section here, named 'Removing Entries from Grub 2' should help you remove the memtest/recovery options from the menu. Its about halfway down the page.
  18. Its pretty easy to remove the old kernels from grub2. Just uninstall the old kernels (and kernel headers) from synaptic package manager and then run sudo update-grub to remove them. You will need to search for 'linux-' in synaptic as when i typed linux-headers nothing was found on my system. Just make sure that you don't remove all the kernels at it will mess up the system (you can find the kernel you're running by typing 'uname -r' at the terminal - do not remove the kernel/kernel headers from the version displayed in the terminal)
  19. I'm happy with that
  20. I've just seen this thread on another site and it might help you.
  21. Yes, but isn't it recommended to remove all data from ipods/computers/games consoles etc before sending them off for a warranty repair? (that is providing that you can access the device and remove anything which might be hard in the case of hardware failure)
  22. if you do a restore in itunes, then apple shouldn't be able to detect a jailbroken device as when restoring it you do a full OS reload (ie. like installing windows from scratch) also, im not quite sure what you mean by 'Non standard connectors for earphones' as all my ipods (and all the iphones i've seen) have a pretty standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
  23. i highly suggest you jailbreak an iphone/ipod touch as you can do so much more with a jailbroken iphone/touch like the highlighted bits above and other things like themes and ssh access to the filesystem to upload files for example.
  24. or just use something like a ubuntu live CD as it has got me out of similar situations before. the good thing is that there shouldn't be any messing around with permissions on the NTFS implementation in ubuntu (not sure about other linux distros)
