<0> anyone recommend a torrent client?
<1> ?? bitpump
<2>
<1> Figures
<1> uTorrent or BitPump
<1> It's not "u" it's supposed to be the Greek letter for "micro" actually but it looks like "uTorrent" - it's called microTorrent
<0> yeh im downloading bitpump now
<0> thanks
<3> i got a friend who bought a 250gig sata and it wont work in his dell computer, bios doesnt find it, and he did a bios upgrade
<4> so what else did you do ?
<5> hirogen: if it doesnt see it in the bios at all
<5> it sounds more like a cabling/hardware proble
<5> *problem
<3> dunno this guy is a bit dence when it comes to the computer
<4> hehe
<1> "dense"
<5> Mill's just dense all around
<3> dence
<1> This sounds like an example of the deaf leading the blind, more or less :P
<3> im gonna get this guy to come here
<3> yes
<6> what dell model is it hirogen
<3> i used to be good at IT hardware but i lost interest about 3years ago
<1> Nothing has really changed
<3> ill find out
<5> that's not true
<5> DDR2 has become popular
<5> SATA
<5> PCIe
<5> dual core
<3> oh
<3> ah duel core
<1> SATA is the only real major change, DDR2 was around for a while, PCIe means nothing to most if not all people, dual cores ain't all that, etc
<3> i got no idea what graphics card r at now
<5> yeah it's not hard to lose touch with graphics cards
<5> at one point I just got sick of reading pages and pages of benchmarks
<6> http://www.tomshardware.com is a good place occaisionally
<5> if I read a review at all these days
<6> for reading up etc.
<5> I usually just read the intro/conclusion
<3> yeah i used to remember them all
<3> hold on let me c if u recongise it
<3> www.theunderground.com
<3> athlon something
<6> what dell model is it hirogen
<3> man hold on
<6> you think i have all day ?
<3> getting info out this guy is a real friggin pain
<3> no i told him to come here
<3> dimension 4600
<6> ok
<6> did he press F2 to enter the bios and set the SATA channel to on for the drive he connected (i'm ***uming it's a second hdd)
<3> il ask
<3> i dont think he has
<6> has what ?
<6> tell him to get into the bios and set the drive on
<6> ...
<6> by default it's most likely off to avoid bios errors of missing hdd's on boot
<3> this guy wreckens he cant enable nothing in the bios, **** man hes thick,
<3> he goes into cmos setup
<7> what's EFI?
<5> and his sata controller has a separate bios?
<5> sulwyn: bios replacement
<5> that's being used on itaniums and the new intel macs
<6> it doesnt have a separate bios
<6> he just needs to scroll down to SATA
<6> and figure it out
<7> obviously, it's a bios replacement, but i just wanted to know why
<5> he probably has the drive type set to none
<6> theres two sata connections on the mobo
<6> he's now probably using both
<5> sulwyn: becuase the bios is a very antiquated hack
<6> the first is enabled by default from the factory (as its delivered with one sata hdd)
<5> that's been extended at least as many times as the x86 architecture
<6> he shoves in the second hdd and he needs to tell the bios that
<6> otherwise it will not appear
<5> the beauty of EFI is you can actually have installable modules
<4> "why reinvent the wheel" ... cuz the wobbles like son of a bitch ? ;)
<5> and you can run programs without an os
<7> ahhhhhhhh, now that's very awesome
<3> hes rebooting to double check his bios
<7> that would be very good
<1> ?? erfi
<2>
<1> ACK
<1> ?? efi
<2>
<1> Dammit just defined that like last week... GRRRRRRRRRR
<5> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface
<1> !learn efi Extensible Firmware Interface, aka the death of computer BIOS finally. It's the future of computing hardware so get up to speed with some info from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface
<3> guyz who here obviously works in IT
<8> yeah
<3> i do but im in a help desk positiob
<3> positiob
<3> position
<8> as long as it doesn't get to be a closed vendor lock in pos
<8> EFI will own your "canuck"
<8> see?
<8> I love the delta force
<8> I never get sick of it watching it
<3> thats lame **** like commando
<9> Does anyone here use trend micro pccillin internet security 2006?
<9> I'm trying to find out if it's normal behavior for tmproxy.exe to listen on tcp port 6999
<9> I can't find any information at all via google about this process other than that it's used to scan webmail and pop
<8> hang on
<10> its part of the program, leaveit
<9> I know it's part of the program vern, but I don't know if listening on port 6999 is normal behavior. Seems to me it shouldn't be listening at all since I have all security features of the program disabled at the moment
<8> status has a point
<8> I am trying to find out
<11> hirogen, tell your friend that under 'drive configuration' he needs to set the SATA SEcondary drive (if this is a second drive) to AUTO
<9> I know the process itself isn't a trojan and that it's installed by PC Cillin, however I'm afraid a worm or some other application might have injected a dll into tmproxy or something
<11> by default it's OFF
<10> The tmproxy.exe process may watch as you access the internet and prevent potentially harmful files and/or activex controls being downloaded and executed on your computer. If this process is stopped, PC-Cillin security will not be able to effectively protect your computer, and you run the risk of being infected by viruses, trojans and other malware.
<10> its acting as a proxy to minitor your internet usage..
<9> Vern, yeah, I saw that. Why would it need to listen on TCP 6999 to do that? 6999 is a common IRC port used by many trojans.
<1> BitTorrent uses that port also if you set it up right
<1> 6881-6999 range
<10> bittorent should really use ports other than that, they say random is actually best, heh
<9> Yep - which is why people scan those ports because millions of people use bitorrent and leave them unsecured so they can download
<9> heh
<1> Doesn't matter what you use, ISPs can tell
<10> Status, it may be a port you dont like, its just a port they chooose, maybe its a common proxy port or something
<9> Vern, sure. But I would like to know for sure before I decide the process is harmless :)
<10> uninstall pc ccillen if you dont like it
<11> hirogen, did you get your friend to check yet ?
<3> yeah
<3> he said he cant c no options in cmos
<3> expcet primary secondrary
<11> tell him to look harder
<11> is he sure it's a dimension 4600
<3> yeah
<3> 2003
<11> because under 'drive configuration' it has SATA primary/SATA Secondary.... and ide ....
<3> ok
<3> he said he remembers seeing that option
<3> but what to do there he asks
<12> i've never seen that option
<11> ok in drive configuration
<11> is this SATA drive the SECONDARY sata drive ???? YES/NO (ask him)
<3> yes
<3> his normal dell hd is the primary
<11> ok
<11> in the 'drive configuration' section
<11> scroll down to SATA Secondary Drive
<11> and change it from OFF to AUTO
