Garth, my condolances..
yep, and Norton too.. part of the Axels of Evil..
I use network Magic, and stand alone AVG free ware on each of the systems here,
no problems..
and Computers were supposed to make time management easier..
the more I am living outside here at the farm, the more I want to just chuck
the computers in the dugout..., I've already unsubbed from almost all of my
mailing lists, as well as all newswire press releases.. I was a month here with
no internet and no television, and now that it is installed in the house, I
wish it wasnt..
I went to corner gas to check emails and bank accounts, 5 minutes and that was
good enough... I've had time to take some pictures too.. of all the stuff I
want to list on ebay.. antique wheels for some kind of model A or something.. a
vintage snow machine.. antique grain threshing machine ( Rumely) and a really
antique one.. made out of wood..
Hope everyone has a great new year.. I'm headed back to camp for a month...
north of Cambridge Bay on Wednesday..and I dont want to go, there is no sun
there this time of year...
Cheers.. Timothy-Keith: Randles

Well, I've just blown most of Saturday trying to re-acquire
connectivity
amongst the various elements of my LAN. The problem, as I eventually
discovered, is that I installed the newest version of McAfee's virus
scanning/security product called "McAfee Security Center" (because
their
simpler product, Viruscan, is no longer available), which promptly
lobotomized my LAN in the name of Internet security.
Here's the e-mail I sent to their Customer Service division:
"I am now in the process of de-installing your product from the two
home
office computers I purchased it for approx. two weeks ago. While the
virus protection is good, your networking protection appears to have
turned my entire home LAN into a slavering idiot, none of the parts of
which can see each other. Attempting to run your Network Discovery
service seems to produce lovely network maps (which tells me that
McAfee
actually sees the entire network), but is unable to allow me to
re-connect to any computer from any other computer. This may be the
ultimate in security, but it renders my LAN useless.
Please refund my money. In the future, if you wish to re-acquire my
business, make the network protection features optional, have a clear
and easy way to turn them off *completely*, and make sure the silly
thing actually works as advertised when it's on and supposedly allowing
PCs on a previously trusted LAN to see one another."
Just thought someone here might benefit from my unfortunate experience.
