[CGUYS] Fwd: [Slashdot] Mac OS X Problem Puts Up a Block To IPv6
Fwd: [Slashdot] Stories for 2010-05-05 +--+ | Mac OS X Problem Puts Up a Block To IPv6 | | from the twenty-five-or-six-to-four dept. | | posted by kdawson on Tuesday May 04, @17:50 (OS X) | | https://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/05/04/2029255/Mac-OS-X-Problem-Puts-Up-a-Block-To-IPv6 | +--+ An anonymous reader lets us know of an experiment conducted in Norway to determine [0]real-world problems in using IPv6 today (Google translation; [1]Norwegian original). "According to a Norwegian article in digi.no, Redpill Linpro did an experiment with regard to IPv6 on one of the largest online newspapers there (www.vg.no). They added a hidden iframe that pointed to an IPv6-enabled domain to test real-life problems about the reported IPv6 holes. The result was that mainly Mac OS X, older versions of Opera, and a few Linux distributions exhibited problems. For Mac OS X it took 75 seconds to time out before failing back to IPv4." >From the [2]consultant's report: "Mac OS X has a problem in that it will prefer 6to4-based IPv6 over IPv4-based connectivity, at least if its local IPv4 address is an RFC 1918-based private address as commonly found in NAT-ed home network environments. This is unfortunate, as 6to4 has shown itself to be much less reliable than IPv4."

Re: [CGUYS] webbugs in webmail?
FWIW gmail does a good job of blocking spam. Perhaps just forwarding his mail to a gMail address will do the trick.

[CGUYS] Converting mixed upper/lower case to all caps
Windows XP SP3 I have several dozen files from outside sources, whose filenames don't conform to our filename format. They're a mix of upper & lower case letters, while our format uses all caps. Is there some cut/paste trick I can use to copy the filenames, then paste them as all caps? tia. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.

Re: [CGUYS] security softward - trendmicro - any information?
I have already used this approach once when someone got infected with this XP antivirus scam. They are getting worse and will literally paralyze the system from doing anything, even in safe mode, so the only option is to run the boot disk. These have all been windows XP systems. Have not run into it yet with 7.

More and more I like the idea of periodically booting into Linux from a CD and then running a virus scanner from there. BitDefender has such a disk and it is free. It creates a RAM disk and downloads the latest definitions. Then it runs against the inactive Windows drive. That means it can bypass rootkits and other defenses that a virus could have inserted into Windows. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

[CGUYS] webbugs in webmail?
Hi Guys, I'm confused again and would appreciate any help... I have a friend who uses webmail via Network Solutions email. He asked me about Spam that he started getting about a month ago (mostly Viagra ED etc). I told him there isn't too much he can do to stop the Spam other than to use a good filter and to just ignore them. My friend called Network Solutions and the Tech told him to report the messages using their Spam Reporting feature in their webmail. My questions are; 1. If you load a Spam message in webmail to report it to Network Solutions won't any Webbugs identify the IP address and the recipient of the Spam for future Spamming? The Network Solutions Tech told my friend that Webbugs would not work in their Webmail if the recipient did not reply to the message. 2. Is the Network Solutions Tech correct in that Webmail is disabled in their Webmail? 3. Is there any other way to report Spam to Network Solutions using Webmail? Thanks for any help! * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
