<0> just need to use good key :)
<0> wep is totally broken
<0> can't be fixed
<1> WEP is fine for people who arent transmitting sensitive info
<0> well not if you have a local lan
<1> if you arent terribly worried about people stealing your bandwidth
<2> WEP is useless.
<0> they will be able to read all your files etc
<2> WEP might ward off a complete idiot, but that is about it.
<1> the average person doesnt know how to crack WEP.
<0> dude you don't need to
<0> free automated tools
<1> i dont have to worry about being trying to hack me.
<1> i fyou live in a college dorm or collegr area...perhaps you may 'need' WPA
<2> flyback: But complete morons either cannot find or run the tools.
<1> or, again, if you transmit sensitive info.
<0> just1n- I guess you have to learn the hard way
<1> other than that...there are probably very few reasons why someone NEEDS wpa.
<1> i think youre just too paranoid =]
<1> whats there to be affraid of?
<2> I would just tunnel through a secure VPN with an open-standard algorithm for protection. Such as: Blowfish.
<1> super elite spammer hacking into my wireless and emailing from my cable modem?
<1> ooh
<2> That would provide ample wireless security for most situations.
<3> I mainly dont want others to use my connection...
<1> for a business or anyone who transmits anything sensitive, i agree, anything less than WPA is asking for it.
<3> so this Notebook that won't connect, can't handle WPA...is that it? =P
<2> just1n: Pedophiles could use your wireless network to probagate kiddy porn across the net.
<2> would you want that to happen?
<1> i live on a cultesac in an area where i cant even find another active wireless connection when sitting on my balcony with an external antenna
<1> troopa, and a commet can come crashing through my roof.
<1> maybe i should wear a tinfoil hat too
<2> On average 83% of wireless hijacks are pedophiles.
<1> theyl find no kiddie porn on my computer.
<2> Lmao. They PUT the porn there.
<2> Then they use you has a zombie to share it.
<1> uh, put porn where?
<2> Lmao.
<2> Nevermind. Be a zombie.
<1> rather than laugh, answer the question.
<0> yeah some people are too ****ing stupid
<1> tell me, put it WHERE?
<0> UP YOUR ***
<1> in order for someone to bust me, theyd have to have found the kiddie porn on my computer.
<0> no they just have to track the ip
<0> then the feds coming busting down your door
<1> having access to my router now gives them complete access to my hard drive?
<0> not necessarily
<2> they could also re-route your connection through an insecure proxy (attacker) and force-feed you a rootkit, dumb***.
<0> that's true also
<1> riiight.
<1> now this super elite pedofile is hacking me on my cultesac
<2> No. Anyone can do it.
<1> rather than going down to the local super 8 hotel with free internet access
<1> which, btw, is accessible from nearly 2 blocks away
<2> Just drop it. You will learn eventually.
<1> maybe not 2 blocks, but quite a distance
<2> We just wanted to help you.
<1> oh yea, ill learn when to psuedo elite crazy kiddie porn hacker comes force feeding me a rootkit.
<1> l0lz.
<1> troopa, i suggest you invest in high quantities of tinfoil
<1> dont just wrap your head...id suggest the entire body
<1> to hell with the 3 dozen open networks on main street, come hack justin and his super fast cable modem.
<3> so I turn off WPA??
<4> be there in a second.
<2> I would. Because I know you don't have some possible honeypot waiting to nab my ***.
<1> ill stick to playing the lotto
<1> better odds
<3> but how do I block access still?
<1> i used WEP (WPA wasnt mainstream) back when i lived near the dorms
<5> anyone know a simple msdos CPU diagnostics tool _
<5> ?
<6> i just replaced the fan on my Dell Latitude C840 because the original one seemed to have died for a few days -- later i realized that it simply wasn't coming on until the CPU got very hot, above 70C, but now the new fan is behaving the same way ...?
<1> i use WPA now simply because i handle sesntive information
<0> he just can't get over this sensitive info thing
<0> what a ****ing idiot
<0> probably voted for kerry too
<5> anyone?
<6> is there any software that can take over control of the laptop system fans so that the fans are on constantly?
<2> Hey, be nice. He handles sensative information! Probably guys numbers.
<2> :)
<0> kostix iI would bootup UBCD and run mprime or something
<2> You have to love the childish stabs.
<0> CPUBURN
<1> i voted for bush.
<0> there is a dos thing
<0> well that's good smart thing you did
<1> flyback, maybe you just live around too many pedo's.
<0> dude
<0> there is a whole business
<1> you just cant get over the fact that what you describe is 1 in million odds.
<0> underground business
<6> they used to start blowing as soon as i turned on the laptop, and if i ran graphics-intensive programs the fans would kick into a higher gear...
<6> anyone?
<0> OF PEOPLE SELLING COMPROMISED NETWORKS AND PC'S CHEAP
<1> there is a whole underground business in selling the feces of movie stars too.
<0> joe hmm
<1> there are SOOOOO many unprotected (not even WEP) networks in every town.
<0> just1n- yes I know sadly
<1> just look at the maps on netstumbler for christ sake
<0> joe check your bios for settings
<1> why even waste 10 mins cracking WEP when there are more unprotected networks than there are protected
<5> thanks
<6> nothing there flyback... dell bios is s**t
<0> joe I dunno what else :/
<1> im more worried about 'sensitive information' than i am someone using my bandwidth, thats just me.
<0> mabye it's got a bad temp sensor or something
<6> what about windows xp software that can control the system fan?
<6> i doubt it... this free hardware monitor software i have is reporting the temp just fine
<1> id be more affraid of some teenage neighbor kid cracking my WEP to use free internet that his parents wont buy him than some supposed pedophile sitting on my cultesac downloading kiddie porn
<6> and like i said, before a few weeks ago the fan would be on 24/7 at a low setting
<6> as soon as i boot
<6> i read in some forum that some dell machines have a bios that won't turn on the fan until the CPU reaches 80C
<2> Doubt that. 80C could fry the CPU
<6> of course, this fan worked fine for over 3 years... then one day it just stopped
<2> 70C is a risky temp
<7> flyback, how do I remove the heatsink off a Slot 1 Pentium II?
<6> well that's just what i read... i doubt it applies to my laptop b/c normally the fan runs all the time on low
<1> pentium-m's run in the high 60's all the time
<1> ive seen mine go into the 70's under the right circumstances...working hard while sitting on my bed in a warm room :)
<6> plus ever since i noticed the fan stopped working 90% of the time everything is VERY slow
<6> particularly boot time
<6> at least 3X slower
<6> yeah i know they can get hot, but it makes no sense for the fan to only kick in at REALLY high temperatures when for so long it would be on a low speed 24/7 and increase speed at higher temps
<8> without any air circulation, the chip will get very hot, very fast.
<8> you're probably getting throttled because of it
<0> mabye something in windows
<6> what pisses me off even more is that i spent $30 on a new fan b/c ebay was the only place i could find one for this model, then i had to wait 2 weeks to get it, and now i figured out the old fan probably isn't broken
<7> flyback, how do I remove the heatsink off a Slot 1 Pentium II?
<0> has reset the temp turn on
<0> grange haven't done it yet
<7> Oh ok.
<6> temp turn on in windows?
<8> joe4444 - what brand of laptop is this?
<6> dell
<6> latitude c840
<8> how old is it?
<6> 3y+
<0> joe check around the cpu for a temp sensor
<6> but the fan i just installed is brand new
<8> you poke through the bios?
<0> i'd try resetting the cmos
<0> also check for any bios updates
<0> mabye there is a known issue with the cpu fan
<6> nerp, yes... the bios is very limited
<6> i didn't notice a sensor when i took it apart, but considering the fact that usually the fan starts _immediately_ when the laptop gets power (before the bios loads), i really doubt it's a sensor problem
<0> well I had a bios issue with my mom's winbook
<6> plus this hardware monitor software i have for windows is working just fine
<0> had to update the bios
<0> else in win2k or xp the fan never came on
<0> but in win9x it was fine or linux
