I have 50 stations with 1 user that THINKS he’s brilliant but knows just enough to….well, YOU know! Apparently, My Cisco PIX515 was not sufficient enough for him so he chose to download and install a free ‘home’ firewall ware from Sygate(?). Preparing to install another server, I pinged some addresses to confirm consecutive ip addys. I hit his addy and got ‘Request Timed Out’. Checked my database. I was correct. Pinged it again. I called to ask if his station was on. “Yes.” Had him confirm ip addy in nethood. “Yep.” When I visited his station, he wanted to know what I was looking for. i told him i couldn’t see his machine. “Oh! that’s my firewall.” ;-( Now, as I was pinging away, I was also logged on to two of my servers AS ME, running some maintenance. That crap he had boxed out my station and both servers from the rest of the network.
BESIDES changing out NICs, any suggestions on how that ware did it? Registry on PDC or 3 machines logged on as ME? I’ve talked toeveryone I know and folks are stumped on this one
