App imitates sending out a virus over the network

The last time I ran the Classic App called "Farallon Ping" which came with my old Farallon NC I bought years ago was back in 2003 or 2004 and I was told by IS of the University I was attending not to run it again as the app makes it appear to be sending out viruses over the network. The app is useful as it tells me my IP address and the IP address of every computer in my domain and offers many other features some of which that are lacking in the built in OSX utilities.
I am at a much larger University these days and I was wanting to run this app for the features but not sure if I should.
Is this post appropriate for this group and if so what do you say?
Thanks

Know nothing about Farallon Ping. Would MacPing at http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://dartware.com/downloads/leg acy.html do the same thing?

    Hello,
    Here is my 2 cents.
    Oracle recommends you set the Oc4jCacheSize parameter to reduce the occurrences of MOD_OC4J_0087 and
    related errors in your Apache error logs. To change this parameter, follow these steps:
    1. Stop the OPMN processes on the middle tier.
    2. On the middle-tier computer, open a terminal window and go to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf.
    3. Enter the following command:
    cp mod_oc4j.conf mod_oc4j.conf.pre3604573
    4. Edit the mod_oc4j.conf file by adding the following line after the </IfModule> line, but before the
    Oc4Jmount /j2ee/* line:
    Oc4jCacheSize 0
    5. Start the OracleOPMN processes on the middle tier.
    I would still suggest to analyze the stack trace further for exact issues.

  • Send BufferedImage over the network

    I have already successfully setup a client/server connection. The issue, is when I send the BufferedImage over the network, it says:
    "Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: java.awt.image.BufferedImage"
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

    Like the exception say, BufferedImage is not serializable. You cannot serialize it. The problem will go away if you don't try to serialize it. Of course, that doesn't answer the question you really meant to ask... which I'll leave for somebody else.

    why do my ical invitation acceptances send out multiple acknowledgements to the meeting intiator?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    So we have DSL Modem <-> Base Station <-> Computer connected by Ethernet.
    Is the Modem Routing ?
    Is the Base Station set to "Share An IP" ?
    (i.e are there two DHCP servers on your LAN ?)
    Is Internet Sharing On in th G5s System Preferences > Sharing pane ?
    In the Base Station is Port Mapping Protocol Enabled if it is doing routing ?
    It is in the NAT tab of the Internet Pane.
    Is the G5 also doing WiFi to the Base Station ?
    Also check the Modem is not Blocking PINGS as this log shows no PING (But I am not sure it even got that far)

    OK, so I know the system administrators where I work can send me text messages over their network directly to my computer.  How do you do this over the Linksys wireless network?  (Directly - as in not using an IM program).  Thanks!

    There is this nifty little program you can use over a LAN... http://www.dynatalk.com/

  • Bluetooth mouse cuts out when transferring files over the network

    Just as the title says: whenever I copy files to a PC over the network (via SMB I think its called) My bluetooth mighty mouse will start getting very jerky and makes is very difficult to move the cursor on the screen. However, my Bluetooth keyboard is comply fine. Both are using Lithium batteries and where just replaced about a month ago. Also, both are in close range...about 2 feet. And it only happens when coping files.
    Any ideas?
    -Scott

    I don't connect to network volumes that often, but I did again today and noticed that my bluetooth keyboard completely cut out (had the "discounted" HUD come up) and then the keyboard would not reconnect until the file copy was complete. I don't know about the mouse as lately I've been using my Microsoft mouse that hasn't been giving me any troubles. (like really, Microsoft and "no troubles" in the same sentence??? lol)

  • Sending Connection Object over the Network using RMI

    Hi,
    How can a Connection object be sent over the network and run on another JVM. I need to hold connection object to execute processes one after other, that require Oracle connection without ever connecting again. I do not have J2EE container or webserver setup to hold connection/connectionpool,but need to run the process on command line. I am using RMI infrastructure to pass parameters/return values but connection object is not serializable and connot be marshalled and failing. Please explain, if there is another way using JDK 1.4
    Sudheer

    I think that what you want to do is connect to the database on the RMI server object, then use the server object from your remote clients to execute the processes you require to rrun.

    Sudheer

    I don't believe this is possible. A connection object has a number of associated structures on the operating system, which generally makes it impossible to move. From a fundamental networking level, you also cannot, in general, cause a connection to machine1 to start communicating with machine2-- that would introduce all manner of security problems.
    Why don't you want to just create another connection on the other machine?

  • Installing an app from DVD-ROM on an iMac, over the network, to an iBook G4

    I have a rather broad question: my in-laws want to install Office 2008 onto an iBook G4. Unfortunately, the G4 only has a CD-ROM drive (ie, read-only), and the Office 2008 install media is DVD-ROM.
    They have a new iMac (onto which Office 2008 has already been successfully installed), and my suspicion is that you can share the install disk over the network, but I can't seem to find any detailed instructions on how to do so. I am (unfortunately) Mac-less at the moment, so I can't experiment myself, and my in-laws are about 2,000 miles away, so I can't just pop over and play around until something works.
    Anyone have any guidance on how to use the DVD drive on one machine as a way to install on another over the network?
    The iMac has Leopard installed, the iBook G4 has the latest version of Tiger.
    Don't worry, no licensing issues as it's the Student/Home edition of Office 2008; you're entitled to install it on up to three machines.

    Go to System Preferences/Sharing and make sure that DVD or CD Sharing is checked. Ensure both Macs are connected to the same network. Insert the Office 2008 DVD into the Mac with the DVD drive. Open a finder window on the Mac without the DVD drive connect to the other machine. You should see the Office 2008 DVD in the finder window and you can install from here.

  • No JMS over the network

    hello,
    Im learning JMS and trying the examples from the tutorial. Both my SDK's are version 1.4.
    At home, I have a Linux machine directly connected to a win-XP machine. Im trying to connect the two machines as in the example "Running JMS Client Programs on Multiple Systems" I do exactly what the turorial states. I check, as recommended, that the JmsFactory does exist.
    What happens is somewhat dissapointing: when i issue the command "run SimpleProducer MyQueue queue 3", instead of messages get send over the network they end up in the own local queue at the side of the SimpleProducer. Both on the linux as on the win machine the same happens. I used both the IP-address and the netbios name of the remote machine in "ant add-remote-factory -Dsys=sys-name". The effect is the same.
    Anyone an idea what is wrong??
    Thank i.a.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • I want to share my external hard drive over the network

    I found a lot of threads and discussions about this, but no answers.
    I have a WD My Book External Hard Drive that I'm looking to share over the network. However, when I add the volume to the "Shared Folders" or even a folder within the volume and the "Users:" are grayed out.
    When getting info on the volume, Sharing & Permissions says, "You can read and write"
    Any ideas?

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your response; however, the first screenshot is through the Sharing settings in the System Preferences.

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

    Hi,
    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
    I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
    I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
    I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
    I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
    ''add a local printer;
    'new port'
    'localport'
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
    but still nothing!
    There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
    I Really appreciate your HELP!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
    Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
    Let me know!
