What is stealth mode and is it good for your computer

what is stealth mode can you please help me i just found it through my firewall and i am scared about it

Stealth Mode just means that the computer will not respond to a "ping" or similar network enquiries. This means that anyone trying to communicate with your computer will not receive any reply.
It will not harm your computer to turn it on, but it may adversely affect any networking programs which you use. I would turn the firewall on, but leave Stealth Mode off unless you really know you need it.

  • What is the best and most stable firmware for wrt1900ac?

    I recently got the wrt1900ac and I wabt to update the firmware. What is the best and most stable firmware for wrt1900ac?

    The most current version is pretty stable aside the Network Map App which is known to cause a router reboot. Linksys is aware of this and is working on fixing it. Just don't use this app.
    Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
    What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
    What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
    To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
    1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
    2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
    3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
    4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.
     Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html to find out. Use v3. How many? 
    My current WiFi settings that are working well are Mixed Mode on both radios, Mixed Channel width on both radios, WPA2 only. Manual channel 11 on 2.4Ghz and 149 on 5Ghz. However those channels for your use will depend on whos near by your surroundings found in the InSSIDer app and you'll need to adjust accordingly to channels that are not being used which are preferred 1, 6 and 11 or (13 for out side of the north america region) on 2.4Ghz. WPS, Media Filter and IPv6 disabled. USB Drive Share, WMM and Media Prioritization enabled. LinksysSmartWiFi is enabled along with mobile access app on Iphone 4S works.

    Hi Bobi1346,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
    There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
    iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
    Learn more about updating OS X.
    Learn more about updating Windows.
    Restore using another USB cable.
    Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • What ideal Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs

    What best Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs?
    - Processor
    - Memory
    - Storage
    - Network
    - Etc...
    Following is the scenario:
    - The server will be for development and test DBs
    - More than one databases will be installed each for each project
    - Maximum 4 databases will be accessed each time
    - Maximum DB size for each DB will be in couple of GBs.

    Which version of 11g ? For 11gR2, see the requirements here - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#i1011417
    Any server that exceeds these requirement will suffice. Obviously the more the number of processors, the faster the processors, the more the RAM, the more the disk etc etc, the better.

  • What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad and iPhone?

    What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad?

    Richard-
    The best and easiest is to use the iPad's built-in AirPrint system with an AirPrint-capable printer.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    If you do not have an AirPrint-capable printer, all printing Apps are a compromise.  I have an HP non-AirPrint printer connected to my WiFi router.  The free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz works OK with photos.
    Print n Share and PrintCentral each have their own browser, mail, text and photo programs that work well with the printer, but they can only be accessed from within other programs that have the "Open In" option.  (So far, I think GoodReader is the only App I have with that option.)
    You can run a program like Printopia or FingerPrint on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  They both are reported to work well.  However your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

  • I am suspicious about  my billing. What am I going to do? Awaiting for your urgent reply.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    As you don't say what you are supicious about it's difficult to know what problem it is that you think that you have.
    You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu option on your computer's iTunes), though I'm not sure if that shows in-app purchases and/or auto-renewing subscriptions .  If you haven't purchased anything and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes support via this page if you have charges that you don't think that you should have : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • My account is good for one computer. Or is it?

    My iTunes setup says that my account is good for one computer. Would that include using the iPod (account) connected and synced to my PC? Do I need to similarily setup the same or different account on my iPod? Please explain. (Note: My iPod already syncs with the CD I added to iTunes in my PC.)
     How many pieces of gear can used in this fashion (ie: iPod, iPad, iPhone, and computer), I'm guessing management on one computer plus another piece of hardware like iPod . . . or am I wrong?   
    I guess to avoid confusion . . . is one account for both sufficient and agreeable to Apple?
    Any advice or help will be appreciated.
    TIA

    Well, I'm getting on since I hit Trafalger when I was 18 (old enough to hit the pubs there but not here). I hung out at the Friend At Hand and drank Watneys (and anything else). Made it to Liverpool, Torquay, and in between. Some of my best memories. Almost had a ideal job at BOAC, but immigration quotas from the far east nixed that.   Still listen to Radio Caroline on this side of the Atlantic.
    Got my connection and account to iTunes working on both the PC and iPod now. Haven't located iTunes radio though on the iPod. Do you know if it is even possible with the older 4.2 version?
    Thanks, again.

    If you remove Downlite according to my instructions on that page, it's gone.
    The trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
