Institutes Running Technical Programme without AICTE Approval

2008-07-07T23:40:00.000-07:00

All India Council of Technical Education or AICTE is the statutory authority in India that is responsible for improving and maintaining the quality of technical education in India. Its purview covers programmes of technical education including training and research in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering Technology etc. at different levels.

The national board of accreditation conducts periodically evaluation of technical Institutions and Programmes and recommends to AICTE regarding recognition and de recognition of the Institutions or Programmes. Therefore all technical institutes try to get the approval of AICTE so that their institutes do not face any problem in the future.

AICTE approval of programmes and Institutes depends on quality of teaching, level of research, faculty expertise, evaluation of teachers, standard of infrastructure available in the campus, such as hostel facility, library, medical facility etc. But there are some institutes in India that are running technical programme without AICTE approval.

Although you may get employment opportunity even after completing a course from a reputed institute, which is not approved by AICTE, you face some problem while applying for education loan or further studies. There in this page we are providing the list of institutes that are running technical programmes without AICTE approval at present. This list may not be exhaustive and it was last updated in 2006-07 and it is subject to change as AICTE approval is periodical.

Institutes Running Technical Programme With Foreign Collaboration Without AICTE Approval

2008-07-07T07:35:00.000-07:00

For running technical programme with foreign collaboration in India, Institutes need to seek approval of All India Council of Technical Education as AICTE is the apex body in India that is responsible for improving and maintaining the quality of Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering Technology etc. at different levels.

The national board of accreditation conducts periodical evaluation of technical Institutions and Programmes and recommends to AICTE regarding recognition and de recognition of the Institutions or Programmes. Therefore all technical institutes that are running programmes with foreign collaboration try to get the approval of AICTE so that their institutes do not face any problem in the future.

AICTE approval of programmes and Institutes depends on quality of teaching, level of research, faculty expertise, evaluation of teachers, standard of infrastructure available in the campus, such as hostel facility, library, medical facility etc. But there are some institutes in India that are running technical programme with foreign collaboration without AICTE approval.

Although you may get employment opportunity even after completing a course from a reputed institute, which is not approved by AICTE, you face some problem while applying for education loan or further studies.

Therefore in this page we are providing the list of institutes that are running technical programmes with Foreign Collaboration without AICTE approval at present. This list may not be exhaustive and it was last updated in 2006-07 and it is subject to change as AICTE approval is periodical.

Institutes Whose PGDM is Equated with MBA

2008-07-07T07:34:00.000-07:00

The growth of the Indian economy over the last decade has increased the importance of management professionals to a great extent. As a result, the number of management institutes has also increased manifold in the private sector.

Most of these institutes offer postgraduate diploma in various branches of management. However, not all the postgraduate diploma in management courses are recognized as equivalent to MBA.

The Association of Indian Universities, which represents the Indian Universities and acts as liaison between the Universities of India and the Government has come up with a list of institutes whose PGDM is equated with MBA degree.

Although it does not necessarily mean that pursuing a postgraduate diploma course from some other reputed institute of management would not be valuable, completing a postgraduate diploma in management from the institutes mentioned below would help those who wish to pursue further studies for which a Masters of Business Administration may be the minimum requirement.

Therefore on this page, we are trying to provide the details of the institutes whose postgraduate diploma in management is equated with MBA degree. So far as we are concerned the list of institutes whose PGDM is equated with MBA is correct and updated. However, if you come across any discrepancy, please inform us. We would appreciate any such move on your part that would improve the quality of the site.

How to Fix Internet Explorer

2008-07-03T07:18:00.000-07:00

How to Fix Internet Explorer Has Encountered
a Problem and Needs to Close

Have you ever been browsing the Internet using IE happily until all of a sudden you get this horrid “Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close” error message, after which IE completely shuts down and you lose all of your tabs along with any forms you might have been filling out? Now that I use Firefox religiously, this has not happened to be even once, but it happened all the time with Internet Explorer.
So for those poor souls still using IE 6 or 7, here’s a quick list of steps you can take to try and fix the underlying problem. The cause of this error can be any number of things, so you may have to try a few things before it actually fixes the problem. Your error may look something like this:

Error sign
AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer. 7.0.5730.11 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 61eb77e0

So what the heck to do if you get this error? Try each one of these steps and see if the problem goes away:

Open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, and clear out the temporary Internet files. Click Delete All and choose the option to delete all offline content also. In case you downloaded some executable file that is causing the problem, this will remove it.
Run anti-spyware and anti-virus software on the computer. Download Adware and Spybot and run each to remove any malware. Also, download CCleaner and HiJackThis and run both applications. Remove unwanted entries that you see when you run HiJackThis (you’ll have to read the docs to know what to remove).
Go to Start, Run and then type in MSCONFIG. Click on the Startup tab and uncheck all items and then re-start the computer. This disables all startup programs from running. If you still get the error, go ahead and turn them back on the same way.
Disable Smarts Tags in Internet Explorer by going to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab, and then clearing the Enable Smart Tags check box.
Install the latest updates from Microsoft Update web site. If you started receiving this error AFTER installing the latest updates, you will have to perform a System Restore to the point before you installed the updates. You can access the System Restore feature by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then System Tools.
Use System File Checker to scan for changes or modifications to Windows protected files. If any files were overwritten or deleted, etc, SFC will automatically retrieve the correct version of the file and replace it. You can run SFC by going to Start, and then Run, typing in CMD and then typing sfc /scannow in the command window.
Re-register Internet Explorer DLL files. Click on Start, then Run, type in CMD and then type the following lines and press Enter after each one:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
Disable all third party addons to Internet Explorer by going to Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, Advanced tab and then un-checking the “Enable third party browser extensions” check box. You will have to scroll down a couple of lines.

Hopefully if you’ve been getting this error, one of these methods mentioned above will fix the problem.

Troubleshooting the Windows XP Professional Setup

2008-07-03T02:26:00.000-07:00

Troubleshooting the Windows XP Professional Setup

This article covers troubleshooting the Windows XP Professional Setup.

Troubleshooting the Windows XP Professional Setup
Usually when you are going about your Windows XP Professional installation, you will not run into any issues, particularly if you are sure that the installed system hardware meets the minimum Windows XP Professional hardware requirements by verifying all of the hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) at the Microsoft website.

Windows XP Professional supports only the devices listed in the HCL. If your hardware isn't listed, contact the hardware manufacturer and request a Windows XP Professional driver or replace the hardware to avoid potential issues.

Support means that while the operating system may load and run on unsupported hardware and software, any issues that come up with the system will not be covered (i.e. supported) by Microsoft Technical Support if you should need to engage them.

If this has been done beforehand and issues do arise, there are a couple of "textbook" events that can be looked at first that will cover some of the more common problems you might encounter during installation and these will generally be what is at issue most of the time.

Common installation problems and Troubleshooting Tips
Media errors - When you are installing Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM and run into problems, the quickest way to try to resolve the issue is to use a different CD-ROM. Even if the CD-ROM you are using has worked a dozen times before, the drive it is in at the time of the error may have trouble reading it or the disk itself may have been newly damaged by a fall or some other issue. You can attempt to clean a finger print laced CD-ROM as a troubleshoot point as well. If you should need to request a replacement CD-ROM, you can contact Microsoft or your point of purchase.

You can also try using a different computer and CD-ROM drive. If you can read the CD-ROM on a different computer, you can perform an over-the-network installation if that option is available to you.

If one of your Setup disks is not working, download a different set of Setup disks. (The ability to directly create setup floppies has been dropped from Windows XP. Setup boot disks are available only by download from Microsoft. The Setup boot disks are available so that you can run Setup on computers that do not support a bootable CD-ROM. There are six Windows XP Setup boot floppy disks. These disks contain the files and drivers that are required to access the CD-ROM drive through generic PCI drivers and begin the Setup process.

You may also find that the Windows XP Professional setup program is unable to copy files from the CD-ROM. In this event, it may be possible to either replace the drive with a supported drive (as this is usually the issue) or you can attempt your installation via a different method such as installing over the network (as mentioned above) or by copying the files to the local drive first, outside of the installation program, as sometimes the copy failure only crops up after the Windows XP Professional setup program is running.

Insufficient disk space errors - The current minimum hardware requirements for Windows XP Professional at the time of this writing is as follows:

300MHZ or higher processor clock speed recommended (233 MHz minimum required, can be single or dual processor system) Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended
128MB of RAM or higher recommended (64MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)
1.5GB of available hard disk space
Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor
CD-ROM or DVD drive
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

If you do not have 1.5GB of available hard disk space on a single partition, you will not be able to complete the installation in most cases.

You can use the setup program to create additional partitions that are large enough for the installation if there is enough space on the drive or you can elect to delete existing data on the current partition to make enough room for the installation.

Troubleshooting using Setup Logs
Windows XP Professional generates a number of log files during the setup routine that contain information that was logged during installation that will assist you when you are attempting to resolve problems that may have occurred during the setup.

[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] - For the purpose of the Windows XP Exam you need not remember the exact contents of these files, they are supplied here so that you can get an overview of what would be in them commonly.

Error codes are often cryptic, whether in a log file or the system event viewer but taking the time to understand what error has occurred and why, will help you better understand and troubleshoot the system.

The list below outlines the purpose of each file, and also a portion of the file contents for you to examine.

Action Log (SETUPACT.LOG) - The action log records the actions that the Setup program performs in chronological order and is saved as SETUPACT.LOG.

The setup log that I have available from my system is 165KB in size and too large to post here in its entirety, but I have cut a few sections out so that you can see what some of the entries look like.

(The SETUPACT.LOG can be found in the \Windows directory in a default Windows XP Professional installation)

As I mentioned before, the log file is much larger and has a lot more to it, but this cross section gives you an idea of what is there.

Error Log (SETUPERR.LOG) - The error log shows any errors that occurred during setup and their severity level. If errors do occur, the log viewer displays the error log at the end of setup.

(The SETUPERR.LOG can be found in the \Windows directory in a default Windows XP Professional installation)

The log will be created even if no errors occur. (I do not have anything available to show you from the error log as mine is empty. Sorry.)

Setup also creates a number of additional logs during setup.

\Windows\comsetup.log - Outlines installation for Optional Component Manager and COM+ components. A subsection of mine is here.

\Windows\setupapi.log - Receives an entry each time a line from an .inf file is implemented. If an error occurs, this log describes the failure. A subsection of mine is here. (The full size was 245KB)

\Windows\debug\NetSetup.log - Logs activity when computers join domains or workgroups. (This entire log was only 7KB, so I copied all of it).

\Windows\repair\setup.log - Provides information that is used by the Recovery Console. A subsection of mine is below. (The full size was 204KB)

[Paths]
TargetDirectory = "\WINDOWS"
TargetDevice = "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3"
SystemPartitionDirectory = "\"
SystemPartition = "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1"
[Signature]
Version = "WinNt5.1"
[Files.SystemPartition]
NTDETECT.COM = "NTDETECT.COM","b28f"
ntldr = "ntldr","3a7b2"
[Files.WinNt]
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\kbdclass.sys = "kbdclass.sys","e756"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mouclass.sys = "mouclass.sys","8cd9"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\usbuhci.sys = "usbuhci.sys","11ded"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\usbport.sys = "usbport.sys","22ffd"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\usbd.sys = "usbd.sys","40af"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\hidparse.sys = "hidparse.sys","acd7"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\hidclass.sys = "hidclass.sys","88de"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\usbhub.sys = "usbhub.sys","ee45"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\intelide.sys = "intelide.sys","dec0"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\pci.sys = "pci.sys","1a257"
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\oprghdlr.sys = "oprghdlr.sys","b001"

(The whole remainder of the file looked as it does above, detailing drivers and path information for the whole system).

Well, that's a wrap for this week.

RIS Installations of Windows XP Professional

2008-07-03T02:23:00.000-07:00

RIS Installations of Windows XP Professional

In order to install Windows XP Professional using the Remote Installation Service, you must install the RIS on a Windows 2000 server (either Server, Advanced Server or Datacenter) using the Remote Installation Services Setup Wizard. The server can be a member server or a domain controller, it doesn't make a difference, however, what must be present on the network in order to use RIS are the following services:

DNS	RIS relies on the DNS service for locating both the directory service and client computer accounts.
DHCP	The DHCP service is required so that client computers that can receive an IP address.
Active Directory	RIS relies on the Active Directory service in for locating the RIS servers.

The shared volume where the RIS data is installed cannot be on the same drive that is running Windows 2000 Server. The volume must be large enough to hold the RIS software and the various Windows XP Professional images that are installed and that volume must be formatted with the NTFS 5 file system.

You begin the RIS server setup by logging on to the server with an account that has administrative permissions, and go to the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. From here you will need to choose Add/Remove Windows Components and make sure that you have either the Windows I386 directory available for the installation or the Windows 2000 Server CDROM.

In the Add/Remove Windows Components window, select Remote Installation Services.

From this point, the remainder of the installation is automatic. (If the I386 source files cannot be found the system will prompt you to locate them.)

When the installation is completed, you'll need to restart your server to configure your RIS services.

You need to go back into the Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Windows Components again in order to start the configuration. (You can also type RIsetup from the run line or a command prompt as well.)

This will launch the Welcome to the Remote Installation Services Setup Wizard, as shown below. (The window below is the first thing you will see if you choose to type RIsetup from the run line or a command prompt.)

Once you continue you will be prompted with the default Remote Installation folder location of D:\RemoteIstall. You can elect to keep the default path or browse to a new location.

The volume you opt to use must be large enough to hold the RIS software and the various Windows XP Professional images that will be installed and the volume must be formatted with the NTFS 5 file system.

By default, Remote Installation Services servers do not respond to requests for service from client computers. There are two settings available to use on the server.

If you select the Respond to clients requesting service option, Remote Installation Services is enabled and will respond to client computers requesting service.

Additionally, if you select the Do not respond to unknown client computers option, Remote Installation Services will respond only to known (prestaged) client computers.

You will also need to provide a name for the Windows installation image folder, as well as a friendly description for each image you install on the RIS server.

The last step the wizard performs is actually a series of events, as outlined in the image above. Once the final step is completed, the setup wizard starts the required services for RIS to run. The server is complete at this point and will service client requests for CD-based installs.

Additional details of RIS configuration and administration from this point forward actually goes beyond the scope of what is required for installing Windows XP Professional CD-based installs via RIS. For additional information on RIS for Windows XP Professional, you can visit the Microsoft Website

Client computers that support remote installation must either meet the Net PC specification (which is, effectively, a system which can perform a network boot) or have a network adapter card with a PXE boot ROM and BIOS support for starting from the PXE boot ROM.

Some client computers that have certain supported PCI network adapter cards can use the remote installation boot disk as well.

This support is somewhat limited and can only be used with certain motherboards, as the BIOS settings for booting the system from the network needs to be configurable.

The RIS service provides the Windows 2000 Remote Boot Disk Generator if your system does support starting from the PXE boot ROM. You can create a Remote Boot Disk by typing RemoteInst\Admin\i386\rbfg in the RUN box or at a command prompt. (The drive letter is the drive where you installed the RIS services and will vary from server to server).

The boot disk simulates the PXE boot process on your system when your network card does not have the required PXE boot ROM for a RIS installation. (Again, only a small number of PCI network cards currently support using the Remote Boot Disk. This includes mainly 3COM and a small cross section of other major vendors.)

The user account used to perform a RIS installation must be assigned the user right of Log On as a Batch Job. The users must also be assigned permission to create computer accounts in the domain they are joining if this has not been done ahead of time. There are other factors as well, such as prestaging a client. For the purposes of this overview, we will go through a "plain vanilla" RIS installation from a boot floppy.

When the client system starts from the boot floppy you would press F12 when prompted to boot from the network.

The Client Installation Wizard will start and you will need to supply a valid user name and password for the domain you're joining as well as the DNS name of the domain. Once this is done you can press Enter to continue.

You are then given the option of performing an Automatic Setup, Custom Setup, or to Restart a Previous Setup Attempt, or use the Maintenance and Troubleshooting Tools installed on the RIS server. You would choose one of the options and then press Enter.

The next screen will show a number of RIS images (including the default CD-based image) that you can use. (The number will depend on what has been placed on the server by the administrator and whether or not you have the proper access permission to read them.) Choose an image and then press Enter.

You will be presented with one last opportunity to verify that the settings are correct. Once you're sure that they are, you would press Enter to begin the RIS installation. When it is complete, Windows XP Professional will be deployed to the client system and available for use upon restart.

Well, that's a wrap for this week.

Best of luck in your studies and please feel free to contact me with any questions on my column and remember,

If you allow a bad guy to upload programs to your Web site, it's not your Web site anymore.

Install of Windows XP Professional

2008-07-02T22:39:00.000-07:00

Install of Windows XP Professional

This article covers attended installations of Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM.

Installing Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM to a clean hard disk consists of these four stages:

Running the Setup program:- Partitions and formats the hard disk (if required) for the installation to proceed and copies the files necessary to run the Setup Wizard.

Running the Setup Wizard: - Requests setup information about the local workstation where the installation is taking place.

Networking components: - Installs the networking components that allow the computer to communicate with other computers on the local network.

Completing the installation:- This final phase copies files to the hard drive and configures the final stages of the setup.

There are some noted differences in the Windows XP Professional installation and older Windows NT4 and Windows Professional installations.

The design of the installation program assumes that your system has the ability to boot directly from a CD-ROM or that you will use a Windows 95/98/ME boot floppy to begin installing from a CD. The ability to directly create setup floppies has been dropped from Windows XP. Setup boot disks are available only by download from Microsoft. The Setup boot disks are available so that you can run Setup on computers that do not support a bootable CD-ROM.

There are six Windows XP Setup boot floppy disks. These disks contain the files and drivers that are required to access the CD-ROM drive through generic PCI drivers and begin the Setup process.

If your computer does support booting from a CD-ROM, or if network-based installation is available, Microsoft recommends that you use those installations methods.

Setup will not prompt the user to specify the name of an installation folder unless you are performing an unattended installation or using winnt32 to perform a clean installation.

By default, the Setup Wizard installs the Windows XP Professional operating system files in the WINDOWS folder. If this folder exists on the partition you have chosen for the install, setup will warn you that you are about to overwrite the current operating system installed on that partition. In order to keep it (e.g. dual or multi booting scenario) you would need to choose another partition for the installation.

To start the Setup program, insert the Windows XP Professional installation CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive If an operating system is detected on the hard drive, the following message will appear:

In this scenario, you would need to press any key on the keyboard to continue with the CDROM installation.

After the computer starts, a minimal version of Windows XP Professional is copied into memory. This version of Windows XP Professional starts the Setup program.

After all of the files are copied and the system is restarted, the text-mode portion of Setup is started which prompts you to read and accept a licensing agreement.

You would select "F8-I agree" to continue. (If you elect not to accept the agreement, the installation will end)

You are then prompted to select a partition on which to install Windows XP Professional. You can select an existing partition or create a new partition by using any unpartitioned free space on the hard drive(s).

(The above example shows a partitioned and formatted drive)

Once a partition has been selected the next step is to select a file system for the new partition. Next, Setup formats the partition with the selected file system. (This would assume that a file system didn't currently exist. In this example, one already does and it is formatted in NTFS so I have elected to leave it as is. Any formatting done here during setup will destroy any existing data on the partitions formatted.)

From here Setup copies files to the hard disk and saves configuration information.

Setup restarts the computer once the file copy is completed and then starts the Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard, the graphical user interface (GUI) portion of Setup.

The GUI-based Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard is the next stage of the installation process.

Regional settings - In this section you are able to customize settings to your language and where you live as well as setup Windows XP Professional to use multiple languages and regional settings.

Personalize your Software - In this section you can enter the name of the person and the organization to which this copy of Windows XP Professional is licensed. This can be your own name and nothing in the organization field or the name of the company in both places if this installation is being performed in a place of business. Software installed on the system later will often use this information for product registration and document identification.

Your Product Key - This page is where you enter your 25-character product key in order to install the software.

If you incorrectly type the key, an error message will be generated.

Computer Name And Administrator Password - Here you enter a name for the computer or use the auto generated one that Windows XP Professional provided.

The computer name will always display in all uppercase letters, no matter how you type it. The name is not case sensitive.

In the Administrator Password box on the same screen, you will enter the password to be used for the administrator account and in the Confirm Password box you will re-enter it to make sure that it is entered correctly.

If the passwords do not match, the above error message will appear and you will need to enter them again.

Modem Dialing Information - This section will begin only if an installed modem has been found on your system.

Enter the correct country or region if it is not selected. (It should match your selection from the Regional settings page.) Type your area code or city code and any number you might need to dial to get an outside line. You can also select either tone or pulse dialing on this page as well.

Date and Time Settings - This section of Setup allows you to verify that the correct date, time and time zone are entered and whether or not the system should adjust itself automatically at the daylight savings times events each year.

Network Settings - The next section of setup deals entirely with installing the Windows XP Professional networking components on your system.

Installing Windows XP Professional networking components involves the following processes:

Detect network adapter cards - The Setup Wizard detects and configures any network adapter cards installed on the computer. By default, it attempts to locate a DHCP server on the network. If none is found it will use an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) IP address. (The APIPA IP address feature of Windows XP Professional automatically configures a unique IP address from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 when TCP/IP is configured for dynamic addressing and a DHCP server is not available.)

Select networking components - The Setup Wizard prompts you to choose typical or customized settings for networking components.

The Typical (selected by default) installation includes the following options:

Client For Microsoft Networks. Allows your computer to access network resources.
File And Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks. Allows other computers to access file and print resources on your computer.
QoS Packet Scheduler. Helps provide a guaranteed delivery system for network traffic, such as Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) packets.
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Allows your computer to communicate over local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). TCP/IP is the default networking protocol.

You can install other clients, services, and network protocols during the Windows XP Professional installation by choosing CUSTOM, but it is recommended that you wait until after the installation has completed to add additional services. (The exception would be if the lack of these services would prevent the system from coming online to your network properly upon restart.)

Workgroup or Computer Domain - This section allows you to choose to join a domain for which you have administrative privileges or to join a local workgroup. You can create the computer account in the domain you are joining ahead of time or during installation. (The Setup Wizard prompts you for the name and password of a user account with authority to add domain computer accounts if you elect to create the account during the Windows XP Professional installation).

After installing the networking components, Setup starts the final steps of the installation process, which include:

Installs Start menu items - Shortcuts that will appear on the Start menu are installed and configured during this stage.
Registers components - The configuration settings that you specified earlier during the install are configured now.
Saves the configuration - The Setup Wizard saves your entered configuration settings. Once the system is restarted, the computer uses this configuration by default.
Removes temporary files - Any files used by the Setup Wizard that are no longer needed are deleted.
Restarts the computer - The computer is automatically restarted. This is the final step of the Setup Wizard.

Upon restart, the computer will either boot directly to Windows XP Professional or it will bring up the operating system selection window (the text of the BOOT.INI file) if you have more than one operating system installed.

After you start Windows XP for the first time, you will come to the Welcome to Microsoft Windows screen to finish setting up your computer. Click on the Green NEXT arrow at the bottom right hand corner of the display.

The system will then check to see how you will connect to the Internet. If Windows cannot detect the settings it will prompt you for input. (You can also select SKIP to by pass this section).

The Registration of your Windows XP Professional software IS NOT REQUIRED. You can skip this step and never go back to it.

The Windows Product Activation screen appears next. Windows Product Activation has been designed by Microsoft it protect their intellectual property as much as possible from software piracy. According to Microsoft through the setup feature, you do not need to send any information at all when you activate the product, not even a name. This step is required, at this time or within the first 30 days.

If you decide to skip this registration step now, you will only be able to use Windows XP Professional for 30 days. At that time, the operating system will not function without activating the product. You will have no other option but to either blow the partition away and reinstall the OS for another 30 days or activate the software.

If you skip this step, Windows XP will periodically remind us during our 30-day period to Activate the product.

The next screen we are brought to is the Internet Access screen, which allows us to configure our Internet connection at this time as well. You do have the option to skip this step as well.

The next screen that appears is the User Setup screen. On this setup page you are able to enter the name of each person that will have local access to this computer. If you choose to do this now, Windows XP Professional would create a separate user account for each name entered.

These names would first appear on the Welcome Screen in alphabetical order. At that point, users would be able to select their name from the Welcome screen to use the computer. The local administrator can use User Accounts in the system Control Panel to assign these users with passwords and system permission limits. It is also where additional users can be created, in lieu of doing here or in addition to entering some here.

At least one name needs to be entered.

This first user becomes a local administrator by default.

Best of luck in your studies and please feel free to contact me with any questions on my article and remember, "If a bad guy can alter the operating system on your computer, it may not be your computer anymore

Upgrading To Windows XP Professional

2008-07-02T22:37:00.000-07:00

Upgrading To Windows XP Professional

Before we get started with a direct upgrade to Windows XP Professional we need to know which operating systems support a direct upgrade.

Windows XP Supported Upgrade Paths

The following direct upgrade paths are supported by Microsoft and are considered viable for both the Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home operating systems.

Microsoft Windows 98

Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

Windows XP Home Edition Retail (Full) Version
Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade Version
Windows XP Professional Retail (Full) Version
Windows XP Professional Upgrade Version

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation

Windows XP Professional Retail (Full) Version
Windows XP Professional Upgrade Version

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

Windows XP Professional Retail (Full) Version
Windows XP Professional Upgrade Version

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

Windows XP Professional Retail (Full) Version
Windows XP Professional Upgrade Version

All Versions of Windows NT 4.0 require Service Pack 5 to be installed prior to upgrading to Windows XP.

Currently, there are no supported direct upgrade paths for the following Microsoft operating systems:

Microsoft Windows 3.x

Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Workstation

Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Server

Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Server with Citrix

Microsoft Windows 95

Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server

Having this information available or knowing where to look it up is important before you get started.

[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] - I often get the question, "how do you know all of this stuff", when I am working with desktop or system admins. The truth is, I often do not know the information off the top of my head. Sometimes I do, and it is often due to the fact that many people throughout the course of the year come to ask me different questions and because many of them are repetitive I often have immediate recall of them. Many times, (more often than not) I don't remember the answer, but I have a vague idea of where I looked it up when I was asked it before and I head right "battle" is knowing where to look up the information when you need it. If you can do that, you're ahead of the game and ahead of most other people you might work with.

Once you are certain that the operating system you're currently using can be directly upgraded to Windows XP Professional, you then need to be sure that the installed system hardware meets the minimum Windows XP Professional hardware requirements by verifying all of the hardware is on theHardware Compatibility List (HCL) at the Microsoft website.

Windows XP Professional supports only the devices listed in the HCL. If your hardware isn't listed, contact the hardware manufacturer and request a Windows XP Professional driver.

Support means that while the operating system may load and run on unsupported hardware and software, any issues that come up with the system will not be covered (i.e. supported) by Microsoft Technical Support if you should need to engage them.

You can test the computer for compatibility by using the Windows XP Professional Compatibility tool. During a system upgrade you will see the option for this on the introductory screen. (You also run the tool from the command line by typing :\i386\winnt32 /checkupgradeonly. You can perform just the check and then exit the tool without installing the operating system, if you wish.)

If you have AUTORUN enabled on your system the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP setup screen will appear.

The Windows XP Professional Compatibility tool can be run by selecting Check system compatibility and then Check my system automatically.

If any issues are found they will be reported in the Microsoft Windows Upgrade Advisor Compatibility window.

During an OS upgrade on a system with pre-installed software, you can use upgrade packs to make the existing software compatible with Windows XP Professional. Upgrade packs are usually available from the appropriate software manufacturers. You can also get updated setup files from Microsoft during the upgrade installation if you are connected to the internet.

As time passes from the point of original software distribution, (many vendors often call the first official release of a software platform as a GOLD distribution) many files may be updated before a Second edition of the software (such as Windows 98 Second Edition) or a service release (Office XP Professional SR1.) is distributed. Dynamic update allows you to do this as you start your installation. You can also elect to not perform it during the installation, in order to do so at a later time.

The next point of the Upgrade installation is the setup type. Even though you are within an existing operating system, you are not forced to upgrade to the new operating system. You can choose the option to perform a clean installation at this point. (The default recommended option is Upgrade, as shown above.)

The next page is the License Agreement, where you will need to click I Accept This Agreement, in order to continue.

Next, you will need to enter your 25-character product key on the product Key page.

The next phase from here will vary slightly depending on whether you are upgrading from a Windows 9x system, where you will be asked whether you want to upgrade to the NTFS file system from your FAT or FAT32 partition, or if you are upgrading from Windows NT4 and already using NTFS, you will be displayed with the Upgrading To The Windows XP Professional NTFS File System page.

After you choose how you wish to handle the file system upgrade, setup will continue, reboot the computer and finish the upgrade of your system on its own.

Additional Installation Methods of Windows XP Professional

2008-07-02T22:34:00.000-07:00

Additional Installation Methods of Windows XP Professional
This article covers the additional installation methods of Windows XP Professional of over the network installations and automating installations using Windows Setup Manager.

Installing Windows XP Professional over the Network

Before you can begin a network installation of Windows XP Professional, you need to copy the Windows XP Professional installation files to a server, normally a file or distribution server, and share out the directory so that people who need to perform an over the network installation can attach to the share. (These people will also need the proper level of Folder and NTFS permissions to attach to the share.)

The distribution server share will need to contain the installation files from the I386 folder on the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM.

From the target system, you connect to this shared directory and then run the Setup program.

The target system needs to be prepared ahead of time in order to be successful with an over the network installation. First, you need to create a FAT or FAT32 partition on the target computer of at least 1.5 GB of disk space and format it ahead of time and you also need to either boot from a client diskette that includes a network client that enables the target computer to connect to the distribution server or install the client directly to the local system hard drive with some sort of system installed, such as formatting the hard drive with a Windows 9x boot disk with the "s" switch.

(FORMAT /S Copies system files to the formatted disk to make a boot disk. This also works on a local hard drive).

The preferred method is to boot from a client diskette that includes a network client that enables the target computer to connect to the distribution server.

(As we continue from here, we will assume we are using the preferred methods of installation. As variables come up, I will mention them as a side note.)

The Setup program copies the installation files to the target computer, which is why you need to create a FAT or FAT32 partition on the target computer of at least 1.5 GB of disk space and format it ahead of time.

You begin from the target computer by booting from a floppy disk that includes a network client that can be used to connect to the distribution server. Once the network client on the target computer is started, you connect to the shared folder on the distribution server that contains the Windows XP Professional installation files and Run WINNT.EXE to start the Setup program.

[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] - WINNT.EXE is used for an installation using MS-DOS or Windows 3.0 or later versions on the source system. WINNT32.EXE is run for an installation using Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Me, Windows NT 4, or Windows 2000 Professional.

Running WINNT.EXE from the shared folder does creates the $Win_nt$.~ls temporary folder on the target computer and the Windows XP Professional installation files are copied from the shared folder on the distribution server to the $Win_nt$.~ls folder on the target computer. Once all of the files are copied to the target system, setup will reboot the local computer and begin installing the Windows XP Professional operating system.

[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] - WINNT.EXE and WINNT32.EXE can be modified by using switches. I have outlined the available switches below.

Modifying the Setup Process Using WINNT.EXE switches

Switch	Function
/a	Enables accessibility options.
/r[:folder]	Specifies an optional folder to be copied and saved. The folder remains after Setup is finished.
/rx[:folder]	Specifies the optional folder to be copied. The folder is deleted after Setup is finished.
/s[:sourcepath]	Specifies the source location of Windows XP Professional files. This must be a full path x:\[path] or \\server\share\[path]. The default is the current folder location
/t[:tempdrive]	Specifies a drive to contain temporary setup files and directs the Setup program to install Windows XP Professional on that drive. If you do not specify a drive, Setup attempts to locate the drive with the most available space by default.
/u[:script_file]	Performs an unattended installation. (Requires the /s switch.) The answer file provides answers to some or all of the prompts that the end user normally responds to during Setup.
/udf:id[,UDF_file]	Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database File (UDF) modifies an answer file. The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDF file are used. If you do not specify a UDF_file, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $UNIQUE$.UDB file.

Modifying the Setup Process Using WINNT.EXE32 switches

Switch	Function
/checkupgradeonly	Checks your computer for upgrade compatibility for Windows XP Professional. On Windows 98 or Windows Me upgrade checks, the default filename is UPGRADE.TXT in the %systemroot% folder. For Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000 upgrades, the default filename is NTCOMPAT.TXT in the %systemroot% folder.
/cmd:command_line	Specifies a specific command that Setup is to run. This command is run after the computer restarts and after Setup collects the necessary configuration information.
/cmdcons	Copies to the hard disk the files for the Recovery Console, which is used for repair and recovery as a Startup option after the Windows XP Professional installation has been completed.
/copydir:foldername	Creates an additional folder within the %systemroot% folder, which contains the Windows XP Professional system files. You can use the /copydir switch to create as many additional folders within the %systemroot% folder as you want.
/copysource:foldername	Creates an additional folder within the %systemroot% folder. Setup deletes folders created with /copysource after installation is complete.
/debug[level] [:file_name]	Creates a debug log at the specified level. By default, the debug log file is C:\WINNT32.LOG and the default level is 2. Includes the following levels: 0 (severe errors) 1 (errors) 2 (warnings) 3 (information) 4 (detailed information for debugging) Each level includes the level below it.
/dudisable	Prevents Dynamic Update from running. Without Dynamic Updates, Setup runs only with the original Setup files. This option disables Dynamic Update even if you use an answer file and specify Dynamic Update options in that file.
/dushare: pathname	Specifies a share on which you previously downloaded Dynamic Update files from the Windows Update Web site. When run from your installation share and used with /prepareinstall, it prepares the updated files for use in network-based client installations. When used without /prepareinstall and run on a client, it specifies that the client installation will use the updated files on the share specified in pathname.
/duprepare: pathname	Prepares an installation share for use with Dynamic Update files that you downloaded from the Windows Update Web site. You can use this share for installing Windows XP Professional for multiple clients and it can only be used with /dushare).
/m:foldername	Instructs Setup to copy replacement files from an alternate location. Directs Setup to look in the alternate location first and, if files are present, to use them instead of the files from the default location.
/makelocalsource	Instructs Setup to copy all installation source files to the local hard disk. Use this switch when installing from a CD-ROM to provide installation files when the CD-ROM is not available later in the installation.
/noreboot	Prevents Setup from restarting the computer after completing the file-copy phase.
/s:sourcepath	Specifies the source location of Windows XP Professional installation files. To simultaneously copy files from multiple paths, use a separate /s switch for each source path. If you type multiple /s switches, the first location specified must be available or the installation will fail. You can use a maximum of eight /s switches.
/syspart:[drive_letter]	Copies Setup startup files to a hard disk and marks the drive as active. You can then install the drive in another computer. When you start that computer, Setup starts at the next phase. Using /syspart requires the /tempdrive switch. You can use syspart on computers running Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows 2000 Server. You cannot use it on computers running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me.
/tempdrive:drive_letter	Places temporary files on the specified drive and installs Windows XP Professional on that drive.
/unattend [number]: [answer_file]	Performs an unattended installation. The answer file provides your custom specifications to Setup. If you don't specify an answer file, all user settings are taken from the previous installation. You can specify the number of seconds between the time that Setup finishes copying the files and when it restarts with [number]. You can specify the number of seconds only on computers running Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4, or Windows 2000 that are upgrading to a newer version of Windows XP Professional.
/udf:id[,udb_file]	Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a UDF modifies an answer file. The UDF file overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDF file are used. If you do not specify a UDF file, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $UNIQUE$.UDF file.

For the most part, an over the network installation of Windows XP Professional from this point forward is almost perfectly identical to installing Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM to a clean hard disk. For more information, you can take a look at my article Attended Install of Windows XP Professional.

Installing Windows XP Professional using Windows Setup Manager.

Using the Windows Setup Manager will help you automate certain Windows XP Professional installations. In order to use the Windows Setup Manager you need to install the Windows XP Professional Deployment Tools from the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM.

To start, you need to log on with a user account that is a member of the Administrators group and insert the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. (If you have AUTORUN enabled the Welcome To Microsoft Windows XP screen, shown below, will appear. Click Exit to close it).

Open the Windows Explorer and create the folder where the files can be extracted to.

The E:\Setup Tools folder in our example will be used to contain the files extracted from DEPLOY.CAB on the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM. (You can also choose to create a new folder to where you want to extract the files when you open the CAB files. We have performed this step ahead of time in the example)

Computer Maintenance Tips

2008-06-26T22:44:00.004-07:00

Ten tips to keep your computer running smoothly:

Never, never, turn your computer off with the power switch until Windows has shut down.The one exception to this rule is when your computer locks up and your hard drive is not running (hard drive light is not blinking). In this situation, you can turn the power off without harmful effects to the hard drive. As cutting the power can also result in lost data or Windows files, you should only do this when you have to.Following this rule will prevent permanent hard drive defects caused by the hard drive heads contacting the surface of the drive disc, and it will prevent a host of Windows problems.Whenever possible, recover from crashes by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time. Press them again to reboot your computer.
I highly recommend that you purchase an ups (uninteruptable power supply) for your computer. This will keep your computer from crashing during power outages, and will protect your computer from low and high voltage occurrences.An ups is far superior to a surge protector and will save your computer from almost any power type of disaster. (See #1 above for what happens when your computer crashes.)
Backup, backup, backup, any data you cannot afford to lose to at least two separate physical drives. So backup data to floppies, Zip disks, CD-RWs etc.The time to backup is when you create something you can't afford to lose. Don't wait until tomorrow.
Run Scandisk and Defragment at least once a month. This will keep your hard drive healthy and prevent crashes. Alternatively, purchase Norton Utilities and use it to keep your hard drive healthy.
Never unplug peripherals from the computer when it is powered up. Unplugging with the power on can short out the connector socket or the motherboard.The only exception to this rule is if you know a peripheral is "hot pluggable". If you do not know what "hot pluggable" means then ignore this exception.
Do keep at least 124 MBs of your C: drive free for Windows to use. If you use Windows Me or Windows XP then you should have 200 MBs of free space on your C: drive.If you do not have enough free space you will choke Windows and it will start dumping data to your hard drive, or it will just get really, really, slow.Use the ADD/Delete tool in the Windows Control Panel to delete unneeded programs from your drive.You can also use Cleansweep included in Norton Utilities to clean up your drive. If you do use Cleansweep or another hard drive cleaner, do not delete shared files unless you back them up. The cleaners do a rotten job of knowing if another program uses shared files.
Do not let a lot of programs load up when you start your computer. They use valuable memory and Windows Resources (Windows internal workspace).All programs in your Windows System Tray (in the lower left of your screen) are running on your computer. Close them if you don't need them or run them and configure them not to load when you boot up.Other programs running in the background can be found by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete at the same time.
Do use a virus checker regularly. Everyone should use a virus checker. The best type of protection is continuous monitoring from a dedicated anti-virus program like Norton Antivirus.The second best thing is to use is the free online virus checker Housecall provided by Trend Micro.
If you have a high speed Internet connection you need a firewall program. A firewall program keeps those who want to hijack your computer from gaining access to your system. You really do not want someone else running your computer.I suggest you purchase and run Norton's Personal Firewall program. Your firewall should boot up with your computer to protect it from invasion. A free personal firewall program is available from Tiny Software.Case in point: When I run Windows Me for 10 hours or more with my dsl connection, my computer is usually attacked by a hacker at least once.Do not think you are safe from hackers!! Hackers use search programs to seek out computers at random. Get a firewall program and use it.
Keep track of the software disks you receive with your computer and new peripherals. These disks contain valuable software drivers and programs for Windows and are needed when Windows must be reloaded. Keep these disks and your Windows software disks in a safe, dry, place -- you never know when you will need them.Hopefully these computer maintenance tips will keep you out of trouble. However,

if you have problems with your computer, feel free to ask for help on our InfoHQ Help Board.

Hack-Brake XP Passwords

2008-06-26T22:43:00.001-07:00

If you want to hack or break the password of any windows Xp system then you should have physical access to the system and then follow these simple steps.In case of user password boot the pc in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and then selecting the Safe Mode option.

You can now log on as an administrator and XP wont prompt for the password. Incase of an administrator account try rebooting the pc in DOS.

access C:\Windows\system32\config\sam .

Rename sam as sam.mj

Now XP wont ask for password next time You Login.

AlsoGo to the cmd prompt.

Type net user *.

It will list all the users.

Again type net user "administrator" or the name of the administrator "name" *.

e.g.: net user aaaaaa *(where aaaaaa is the name).

It will ask for the password.

Type the password and there you are done.

Logging In As Administrator:Hold the Ctrl-Alt key and press Del twice.

This will bring up the normal login and you can log on as Administrator.

To unhide the Administrator account so it does show up:

Start RegeditGo to hkey_local_machine \ software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserListUnhide the Administrator key by giving it a value of 1.

60 Alt + F4 (<9>) FileCloseOrExit Closes the current document, or if no documents are open, quits Word. Horrible command, as it makes it a long winded business to quit Word. But there's a simple solution - assign Alt+F4 to FileExit instead.
61 Alt + F4 (Word 97) FileExit Quits Microsoft Word and prompts to save the documents (does intercept the menu item, but not the keyboard shortcut, or the x button. An AutoExit macro is usually a better way of intercepting this).

In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make it work).

While the Internet is very useful for applications like e-mail, web browsing, or instant messaging, the Internet can also be used for disreputable purposes. The Internet makes it possible for hackers, worms, and viruses to also attempt to communicate with your computer in order to steal files, install bad software, or even take control of your computer from a remote location.

A firewall guards your computer from Internet threats like hackers, viruses, and worms by filtering out any suspicious communications sent to your computer. In much the same way that you use caller ID on a telephone to identify who is calling before answering the call, a firewall can identify who is trying to talk to your computer and determine whether or not to allow that communication to come through. A firewall is one of the most important security tools available, and any computer connecting to the Internet should use some type of firewall.

In addition to preventing attacks coming into your computer from the Internet (which is sometimes called “inbound firewall protection”), firewalls can also be configured to prevent communications from leaving your computer and going out to the Internet (sometimes called “outbound firewall protection”). Outbound firewall protection allows you to monitor and control which programs are allowed to send information out to the Internet. This can be very useful in preventing things like spyware from sending private information without your knowledge.Firewalls are available in hardware or software varieties.

Software firewalls (sometimes called “personal firewalls”) can, and should be installed on every computer you have in your home. Software firewalls add extra features, like allowing you to specify which applications on your system can communicate over the Internet. This provides additional protection from unknown spyware that may be trying to communicate from your system. Dell recommends using a software firewall on each computer.

Hardware firewalls can also be very effective if properly configured. If you have a broadband Internet connection with a router, you most likely have a hardware firewall built into your router. Check your router documentation to determine if you have a hardware firewall and to understand configuration options.

NOTE: You can use both hardware and software firewalls at the same time.

Do I Need a Firewall?

YES! Any computer connecting to a network or the Internet should use a firewall. Without a firewall, it is much easier for hackers and viruses to gain access to your computer over the Internet and install malware. Whether you’re connecting to the Internet through a dial-up modem, cable, or digital subscriber line such as DSL, a firewall is a key component of your computer’s security.

If I Have a Firewall, Do I Still Need Anti-virus Software? YES! A firewall will protect you from unauthorized attempts to connect to your computer. It can also protect you from unauthorized attempts to share your private information outside of your computer. Applications like e-mail are authorized to communicate over the Internet. Viruses and other malware can get into your system by attaching, or being attached to e-mail or any other authorized communication channel. Because of this, you need to have both anti-virus software and a firewall to be safe.

How Can I Tell if I Have a Firewall?

If you have McAfee Security Center, perform the following steps:

• Right-click the McAfee icon in the system tray, point to Personal Firewall, and then click View Summary to check the status of the Personal Firewall.If you have Symantec's Norton Internet Security, perform the following steps:

• Right-click the Norton Internet Security icon in the system tray, and then click Open Norton Internet Security to check if Personal Firewall is "On" or "Off" under System Status.If you have Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security, perform the following steps:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, Trend Micro PC-cillin, and then click Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security.

2. Click Network Security, and then click Personal Firewall to check if the firewall is enabled or disabled.

If you did not find one of the previous firewall products installed on your PC, you may be running an operating system that came with a simplified firewall feature set. If you are using the Microsoft Window xp service Pack 2 (SP2) operating system, you can check to see if your firewall is turned on through the Windows Security Center.

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Security Center, and then click Windows Firewall.

If you have Windows XP, but you do not have Service Pack 2 running on your computer, you can download SP2 by visiting the Microsoft Update Web site. You can also check to insure that the firewall is enabled with the following steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

TIP: If the Network and Internet Connections category is not visible, click Switch to Category View on the upper left of the window.

3. Under the Dial-Up or lan or High Speed Internet category, click to select the icon of the connection you want to help protect.

4. In the task pane on the left, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection (or right-click the connection you want to help protect, and then click Properties ).

5. On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, make sure the box is checked next to Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet. If a check mark is in the box, the firewall is already enabled. If the box is clear, the firewall is off and your computer is potentially vulnerable on the Internet.

How Do I Obtain a Firewall if One is Not on My Computer?

If you have an operating system earlier than XP that did not come with a firewall such as Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows 98, or you need to obtain and install a firewall product, If you only require a simplified feature set, you may wish to utilize the Microsoft Windows Firewall that came with Windows XP.

What is a Proxy Server

2008-06-26T22:34:00.000-07:00

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes. Web proxies

A common proxy application is a caching Web proxy. This provides a nearby cache of Web pages and files available on remote Web servers, allowing local network clients to access them more quickly or reliably.

When it receives a request for a Web resource (specified by a url), a caching proxy looks for the resulting url in its local cache. If found, it returns the document immediately. Otherwise it fetches it from the remote server, returns it to the requester and saves a copy in the cache. The cache usually uses an expiry algorithm to remove documents from the cache, according to their age, size, and access history. Two simple cache algorithms are Least Recently Used (Lru) and Least Frequently Used (lfu). Lru removes the least-recently used documents, and lfu removes the least-frequently used documents.

Web proxies can also filter the content of Web pages served. Some censorware applications — which attempt to block offensive Web content — are implemented as Web proxies. Other web proxies reformat web pages for a specific purpose or audience; for example, Skweezer reformats web pages for cell phones and PDAs. Network operators can also deploy proxies to intercept computer viruses and other hostile content served from remote Web pages.

A special case of web proxies are "cgi proxies." These are web sites which allow a user to access a site through them. They generally use php or cgi to implement the proxying functionality. cgi proxies are frequently used to gain access to web sites blocked by corporate or school proxies. Since they also hide the user's own IP address from the web sites they access through the proxy, they are sometimes also used to gain a degree of anonymity.

You may see references to four different types of proxy servers:

Transparent Proxy - This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used for their ability to cache websites and do not effectively provide any anonymity to those who use them. However, the use of a transparent proxy will get you around simple IP bans. They are transparent in the terms that your IP address is exposed, not transparent in the terms that you do not know that you are using it (your system is not specifically configured to use it.)

Anonymous Proxy - This type of proxy server indentifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonal anonymity for most users.

Distorting Proxy - This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers.

High Anonymity Proxy - This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. Open Proxies, abuse, and detection

An open proxy is a proxy server which will accept client connections from any IP address and make connections to any Internet resource. Abuse of open proxies is currently implicated in a significant portion of e-mail spam delivery. Spammers frequently install open proxies on unwitting end users' Microsoft Windows computers by means of computer viruses designed for this purpose. Internet Relay Chat (Irc) abusers also frequently use open proxies to cloak their identities. Because proxies could be implicated in abuse, system administrators have developed a number of ways to refuse service to open proxies. Irc networks such as the Blitzed network automatically test client systems for known types of open proxy. Likewise, an email server may be configured to automatically test e-mail senders for open proxies, using software such as Michael Tokarev's proxycheck.

Groups of Irc and electronic mail operators run dnsbls publishing lists of the IP addresses of known open proxies, such as Blitzed opm and CBL.

The ethics of automatically testing clients for open proxies are controversial. Some experts, such as Vernon Schryver, consider such testing to be equivalent to an attacker portscanning the client host. Others consider the client to have solicited the scan by connecting to a server whose terms of service include testing. Anonymous proxy risksIn using a proxy server (for example, anonymizing http proxy), all data sent to the service being used (for example, http server in a website) must pass through the proxy server before being sent to the service, mostly in unencrypted form. It is therefore possible, and has been demonstrated, for a malicious proxy server to record everything sent to the proxy: including unencrypted logins and passwords. By chaining proxies which do not reveal data about the original requester, it is possible to obfuscate activities from the eyes of the user's destination. However, more traces will be left on the intermediate hops, which could be used or offered up to trace the user's activities. If the policies and administrators of these other proxies are unknown, the user may fall victim to a false sense of security just because those details are out of sight and mind.

The bottom line of this is to be wary when using proxy servers, and only use proxy servers of known integrity (e.g., the owner is known and trusted, has a clear privacy policy, etc.), and never use proxy servers of unknown integrity. If there is no choice but to use unknown proxy servers, do not pass any private information (unless it is properly encrypted) through the proxy.

Internet Anonymity

Internet anonymity is, in essence, the subject of internet privacy and its issues. Internet anonymity is basically the method by which people send messages and conduct business via the Internet without revealing their true identity. The information that they do reveal is controlled by the user him or herself. It includes the obvious personal information, however maintaining Internet anonymity extends far beyond the user: it includes computer information and location as well. To maintain Internet anonymity means to utilize the Internet without giving anyone the ability to trace or link web activity, or personal information, back to the user.

Those who are concerned about Internet anonymity often discuss several risks to personal privacy. Cookies are among the most talked about privacy risk. Cookies are text sent to a web browser about a site or page that has been visited. The text is stored by the computer’s server and sent back every time that particular web page is revisited. It makes for downloading the page quicker since the computer accessing the page is authenticated by the cookie. Cookies also contain specific information about the user, such as preferences, passwords, log-in IDs and even electronic shopping cart information. This is why the cookie is considered a privacy risk by Internet users, and has thus been disabled by many computer owners prior to surfing the web.

Advocates for Internet anonymity argue that it is the most important aspect of free speech on the Internet. Anonymity allows for Internet users to express themselves freely without worry of being discovered or tracked, ridiculed, or harassed. This is important to online discussions and forums, especially those involving personal questions or topics, in which those participating do not want to have to admit who or where they are. A perfect example of the importance of such anonymity is in medical forums where patients are free to ask medical questions of doctors or others with similar medical afflictions. Advocates also maintain that Internet anonymity is essential for transmitting information that must remain anonymous. The reporting of illegal activities and criminal behavior via the Internet is also an example of how vital anonymity can be: it gives witnesses and reporters the comfort and security necessary to offer their testimony.

Opponents argue that certain abuses and illegal activities are perpetuated by available Internet anonymity. Spam, or unsolicited email, is a common abuse of Internet anonymity. Most spam emails are junk mail and non-threatening; however, there have been cases where spam has been utilized to communicate hate-speech, threats, and harassment, and the anonymity of such spam has made it difficult, if even impossible, to track their originators. Opponents also debate that anonymity protects criminals and sexual predators. These offenders utilize the forums and discussions groups that protect the identity of all users to target their prey via the Internet.

The reality of Internet anonymity is that it will be a subject of heated discussion for years to come. Fortunately there exist avenues that Internet users can take to protect their identity, preferences, and IP addresses, if anonymity is important to them. Disabling cookies is common choice and some web browsers, like Mozilla Foxfire and Opera, have a setting that automatically deletes all cookies at the end of an Internet session. Overall, users need to remain cognizant of what information they provide on the Internet, including that in on-line screen names and profiles, if they want to maintain anonymity while using the web.
