Is a satellite-based WAN connection right for you?
Talkback Security: actually VPN methods such as L2TP, PPTP and IPSec are seldom used in the satellite industry because they disable the TCP Acceleration, Spoofing or PEP (performance enhancing proxy) technology built into most shared broadband satellite...

Why you should ditch Norton AntiVirus
Talkback Installing a firewall on top of your windows firewall and enabling them both WILL (not a question of if but when) cause TCP corruption. Luckily MS thought about this and provides a free tool to re-build the TCP connection, however, you will need...

IT professionals must have short memories
Talkback C is not a product, nor is the tcp stack. I'm mystified. Ok accepted, the survey was for the most influential tech product of the last 25 years. But if you go back to 1982, was there a PC on everyone's desk?

Why MyDoom has spread so fast
Talkback After infecting a system, MyDoom opens TCP ports 3127 through 3198," Why haven't you people quit using the wide open trash that comes out of Redmond? When will you learn? How long has it been since Trustworthy Computing, or whatever it was called?

Survey: Digital rights management about to boom
Talkback However, DRM (TCP, and a number of other discarded names and anagrams) is instead being developed to track and control personal use of one's computer, and various peripherals. The true concept of DRM, with an end goal of protecting data, and...

Netgear WGT624
Member Review If you have problems with VPN tunneling consider using UDP rather than TCP. I have been pleased with the product. Had some issues setting it up and the installation documentation is poor. However, I bought this with two 54g cards for £150 in a...

Spammers get fussy as zombie army grows
Talkback I use a very good firewall with filter rules in place to stop TCP and other protocols inbound. Just a quick comment on fairness and honesty. Every time I go to the Microsoft Update site for critical downloads my machine gets infected with spyware.

Putting broadband to work
Talkback New satellite technologies use prefetching and TCP acceleration which compensate for latency and make a typical user internet browsing experience almost the same as ADSL. I think it is inaccurate to describe satellite broadband as being expensive...

Windows admin 'feature' poses latest hazard
Talkback If the attack is coming from the outside through a TCP/UDP port exploit then NetBIOS/SMB ports like 137, 138, etc.should be blocked on the external interface. This is a bit of a stretch, as the NET SEND command would have to be locally executed in...

Lazy developers throw clunky applications over the wall
Blog They optimise TCP and HTTP/S protocols, they offload certain functions from the app (like SSL) and they accelerate the delivery of application data, but really, it’s only their ability to perform caching that really helps developers.

RE: Windows 7 Needs Liposuction
