How do I close an open DNS Server

I have received an email from my internet provider stating I have an open DNS Server and my network has been used to attack other networks (DOS) Denial of service. I can't figure out how to secure my network. or close the open DNS server.

You should at least update your Mac to 10.6.8 although I am not sure there are any particular security issues that would be there.
Of course running later OS is always better.. as the latest security updates are implemented in the most recent OS.. but I am not sure one follows the other as some weaknesses are introduced as well in later OS. Any security updates should certainly be installed.
The main point is what modem and what router do you have?
There are a number of these notices being sent to users with apple routers which are hard to believe can be involved. It is more likely the ISP equipment. But we cannot really help you with exact details of your network .. or any more precise details the ISP has given you.
Ring up and talk to their technical help dept. and ask for their help. Even if they won't help you fix apple router.. put the modem in router mode or buy a new modem with router mode and change the apple router to bridge.. then the issue is not caused by you and the ISP can remotely adjust their own box.

  • How can I close all open subVI front panels, without closing my top level VI front panel when all VIs are built into executables?

    I'm using the code shown in the sample VI discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/353A696A3F393D9B86256E8B007A2912
    to close all open VIs except my top level VI.  My top level VI is actually a separate executable and the sub-VIs are their own executables.  All reside under the same project.  It works very well if I'm running in LabView but will not work when I build them.  I added all the sub-VIs to the Always Include box in my top level VIs properties which did nothing.  I also tried adding them to the Startup VIs box.  This allowed me to close them all programmatically from the top level VI but it also open all the VIs at once (which was expected and not desired).  I think the problem is the executables are not able to see outside their own memory space so the top-level VI never finds any other open front panels to close.  Is this correct?  Is there another way to go about doing this? 
    Thanks!

    Where do I begin…..
    I’m using a “server” to control 4 “client” PCs.  My server opens references to 4 VIs on each client then executes them sequentially.  So on a normal day, the server will run everything itself and I will have no contact with the clients.  But on a several occasions, I’ve needed the ability to walk up to one of the clients and run just one of the 4 VIs. 
    We are updating from LabView 6.1 to 8.5 and we want to run executables rather than VIs for various reasons.  I have a new VI running on the client PCs who’s only function is to initialize the shared variables and open/close the VIs.  I initially thought of making the remaining 4 VIs sub-VIs but I will loose the ability to run them individually.  I think I would also have to rewrite the VI running on the server since the 4 references it originally opened do not exist.  I don’t think you can open a reference to a sub-VI on another PC.  Can you???
     As you can see, this is a huge mess.  I’m still pretty new with LabView so any help you can provide would be great. 

  • How do I create a backup DNS server?

    Hi All,
    I've got my production server (Xserve Intel) running 10.6 and it is our primary DNS server. I've gotta take it down to do some work on it, but by doing so, no one in the organization will be able to access the internet.
    I'd like to set up my old Xserve (G5, running 10.5) as a backup DNS server that can handle the DNS requests whenever I need to take the main server down. Unfortunately, I'm kind of a DNS n00b.
    What is the best way to go about this?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Oh, quite embarrassing. I complained about not understanding the author of the article when I was actually speaking to the author. How rude! Apologies, kind sir.
    I've now got it set up correctly with your help, it seems. I've just got a few other questions regarding the Secondary DNS Server if you don't mind:
    1) Do I set any forwarder IP Addresses on the secondary server? Should I put the same forwarders that I use on my primary, or should I put the IP address of my primary in there, or should I just leave it blank?
    2) *Edit - Ignore question 2; found the answer in your guide*
    3) When I look at the secondary zones, they don't seem to be populated with any data. . . Does this mean that the secondary server is completely reliant on the primary server to function correctly? In other words, *when I take my primary server offline, does the secondary server still work?*
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How to create A record on DNS server

    How do i create an A record on the DNS server (windows server 2008) that would resolve into two ip addresses: PUB & SUB ip addresses respectivly, to enable EM redundancy in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1.
    Right now when the PUB failover to the SUB the EM does not work. the Phone services as well as the global directory does not work. the CUCM is fully integrated to LDAP.
    Cisco recomends using an SLB but right now i am trying to use the DNS option. what i need now is how to create the A record on the DNS that would resolve into the two ip address of the PUB and SUB.

    You can do this but your results won't be quite as expected.  I've played around with this and you'll see that the request for when you press the services button will go to server A, then when you click on the EM service your request will go to server B, then the login back to server A even though you started the login session with server B and back and forth, then with the authentication information, etc.  Also DNS doesn't know about the state of your servers.  If a server is down you'll still have issues if the name resolves to the down IP address.  As far as I've seen DNS will always round robin with multiple records for the same name (unless you use an SRV record).

  • How can I disable the internet ( DNS server ) contact for an executable generated in LV?

    How do I disable this DNS server connection attempt?
    I see an old thread for this, but no resolution.
    Thanks

    A DNS lookup does not mean much. Do you know if it generates any real traffic afterwards, e.g. contacting the server it just tried to resolve? What server? What port?
    Does the DNS query also happen if you run the code in the development system?

  • How can I close or open a layerset

    Hi,
    I want to close a layerSet which is contain one or more layers in it close or open. How can I do that? please look below image.
    thank you.

    I also don't think there is a easy way. The frist problem is there is no way for a script to know if the layerSet is open or closed by checking the layerSet properties( neither DOM or Action Manager ).
    To open a closed layerSet you can make one of the layers in that set the activeLayer.
    To close a layerSet is much more involved. You first would have to get all the layerSet properties. Then check to see if it has a channel or vector mask and if so get their setting and dupe them. Then un-group the layerSet( the layers will all be selected after ungrouping ) and group the selected layers( the new layerSet will be closed ). Then reset all of the layerSet properties and restore the masks if needled. With CS6 you also have to deal with possible layer effect.
    I have seen a script on PS-Scripts.com that does some of that but I think it misses some setting like layer locking, layer color, channel restrictions. It also doesn't check for vector masks nor keep the channel mask settings.

  • How can I close an Open PDF form without crashing the browser

    Hi
    We have build a webdynpro application in Java. In this application, we are make using of the Interactive form to bring up  a PDF form that the users can print. Our issue is that no matter what approach we take there is no gracefull way to exit once the PDF is displayed.
    Here are the approaches we took.
    1) Embed the PDF in the existing Window. The form comes up correctly with all fields, but there is no way to get out from it. A browser back doesnt help, nor is there a default close button in the PDF window.
    2) Bring up the PDF on a separate window.The PDF does come up fine on this new window. We were hoping to use the window.destroyInstanece() method on this new window to both close the window and gracefully exit the PDF form. This too dint quite work out and resulted in a browser crash.
    I am sure others must have faced a similar problem. Are there any suggestions on how we can handle this. I found a few other posts with similar issues but no clear answers.
    We are using Adobe 7.0.9 Reader on the client end.
    Regards
    Aju Paul

    I have been working with Aju on this issue. We are still experiencing the issue.
    We have tried using the destroyWindow() method and using a fireplug to redirect the application. When we have an Interactive form embedded on one of the views in the window, the application will cause a browser crash when we try to destroy popup window or redirect the applicaiton.
    If we remove the Interactive form from the view, we can destroy the window and we can redirect the application. The problem only  occurs when the Interactive form is present.
    We have recently upgraded our server to SP10. I have also reloaded the ACF on my pc. Neither of the steps resolved the issue. What else can we look at to see what may be causing the issue.
    Thanks.....Tommy Knight
