WRT160N - VMWare (WinXP host) bars all guest OS from Internet

I have a Linksys WRT160N wireless router, bought new last fall to replace a used DLink DI-625. Currently the main computer is a homebuilt running WinXP SP3, connected by Ethernet cable. No issues on this main setup.
I am running VMWare Workstation 6 and trying to learn my way around Ubuntu Linux as a guest OS. The virtual Ethernet connection is set as Bridged. Unfortunately, I am unable to get any Web browser to connect. I also tried Windows 2000 as a guest OS and cannot connect to Web from there either. Nothing improves whether I use Bridged or NAT connection. Nothing changes whether I have Comodo Firewall Pro running or not (on principal host: WinXP SP3). On the other hand, I am able to run Microsoft's own VirtualPC with Win2K as guest, and connect to Web just fine.
I suspect that if I go into the router config and set Application permissions just right, I just might get what I need. However, I need help doing this because the available parameters are a little over my head. Please help!
P.S. I asked elsewhere for a different problem and was told to update firmware. The router came with 1.02.4 from December 2007. The latest v1 file from the company file library was 1.02.2 from November.  What the hey...? (I "downdated" and hope I don't suffer the consequences)

I have no trouble with HTTP, FTP, BitTorrents or other Internet activity on my host OS. My primary computer is wired to the WRT160N. The ISP is Aliant, providing "ultra" high-speed ADSL; a step up from regular.
(I also have a newer HP laptop running Vista Home, which does suffer intermittent connects whether by wireless or cable, but that is a separate topic.)

    Question
    I imported all my favorites from Internet Explorer, but in the Firefox window I don't see a favorites tab. I've got a bunch of favorites that I don't want to have to redo. Any advice?

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
    If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
    That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Pix501: allow all incoming smtp to one host and all smtp out from one host only

    I have a pix501 and I have a mail server. What I would like to do is ensure that smtp traffic from the web only goes to my mail server and that my mail server is the only machine on my local network that can send to the internet on port 25. This is to secure the possibility of bots on my childrens PCs spamming other users. The mail server has been relay secured for selected PCs only.
    To the pix501; I think the following is what I need, but would like somebody to confirm or correct me:
    interface ethernet0 auto
    interface ethernet1 100full
    nameif ethernet0 outside security0
    nameif ethernet1 inside security100
    access-list inbound permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit tcp host x.x.x.x ant eq smtp
    access-group inbound in interface outside
    access-group outbound in interface inside
    Most important:
    1. Have I got the access-lists right? Does pix501 support host x.x.x.x (ip of local webserver 192.168.x.x)
    2. Are the access lists the right way around?
    3. Is the access-group setup right?
    4. Is there anything else that needs doing/
    Any help appreciated.
    Note: I am a Cisco newbie and trying to learn,

    Thanks for that information.
    I thought about this some more, after seeing your response, and I was wondering; if I only want to restrict smtp outbound traffic, but allow all other traffic, would the following work, as I dont have to allow each specific port/ip address:
    access-list outbound permit tcp host 192.168.1.3 any eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit tcp host 192.168.1.36 any eq smtp
    access-list outbound deny tcp any any eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit udp any any
    access-list outbound permit tcp any any
    I realise that this would open all sorts of other security risks, but at least trojans/worms will not be able to spam from PCs other than those listed as per the first 2 lines ( which is my major concern at the moment). As I learn more about the traffic on my network I can block more undesirable ports.
    Sorry to be a pain, but this could be useful to other and the more complete the setup, the easier it will be for them.

  • How do I get Firefox to import ALL my bookmarks from Internet Explorer?

    I've recently installed Firefox on my WXP computer, to replace IE. During installation, Firefox automatically put up a dialog offering to import all my bookmarks (i.e. Favourites) from IE, and I accepted. The resulting page confirmed that my bookmarks had been imported. However, on looking at the actual list of bookmarks "Imported from IE", I saw that the main Favourite headings had been imported in alphabetical order - which is fine - but that the import had stopped at the letter S. That meant that some important main Favourite headings (e.g. "Travel") hadn't been imported.
    I then went to your tutorial pages and followed the instructions for "Importing Personal Data from Other Browsers", asking for just bookmarks to be imported from IE. What happened was that once again, FF imported only the Favourite titles up to initial S. (And now, furthermore, all the imported ones were duplicates of the ones already imported at set-up). Would you tell me, please, what I need to do to get the complete list of Favourites imported from IE?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Isolating guest VMs from each other (not just the host)

    Hello Everyone,
    I've been playing around with visualization for a long time, but largely for testing and educational purposes.
    For the first time I'm thinking of actually running some production systems in virtual machines instead of on physical hardware which which raises some new concerns for me that weren't really relevant previously, namely, security.  In particular, I've been thinking about how to isolate the guest VM processes from each other.
    It's decades-old best practice to isolate different server services to different machines to help prevent, say, security problems with your web server also comprising your mysql server.  When you start virtualizing your infrastructure, you lose this benefit to a degree, if someone manages to compromise one of your VM servers and manages to exploit a vulnerability in your hypervisor to gain access to the host, it's no big leap to assume that they may be able to get access to your other virtual machines running on that host.
    It seems to me, that if you want to improve your resilience to this kind-of exploit that you want to increase the isolation of your VM processes from each other.  You could, say, run them as different users.  If you're careful about permissions, then you gain back some of the security of running your servers on seperate physical hardware.  An attacker could still exploit a local privilege escalation bug, but it at least provides another line of defense.
    This sort of thing seems to be possible with qemu virtual machines, though it does require some work to get anything besides user mode networking working. 
    On the other hand, this sort of thing seems to be largely impossible with libvirt.  It's possible to run as qemu vms as different users using 'qemu://session' but the documentation seems to suggest that this limits you to using the qemu user mode networking, which isn't practical for running publicly accessible servers.  Since, as far as I can tell, all of the visualization management products around are based off of libvirt, this surprises me.  It seems to me that someone would have wanted to try and do something like this before, but nobody has (as far as I can tell).
    Indeed, there seems to be very little documentation out there about using qemu with tun/tap networking when running as non-root user.  There is some documentation out there about using VDE (mostly via the deprecated vdeq wrapper), but alot of qemu write-ups skip over it.  There's enough out there to suggest it's possible, it just doesn't seem to be written up anywhere (yet, maybe I'll write it up myself someday).
    So, this makes me wonder, 'why not?'.  Are there other things people are doing to isolate guest VMs from each other?
    What are people running production services in VMs doing?

    I suppose this is also something to think about, but I don't think I'd be that worried about it for my use-case.  The majority of systems I plan to run could run completely headless and the physical security for the host computers should be pretty good.  I'm more concerned remote code exploits in one particular VM allowing an attacker to execute on the host or in other guest VMs.

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
    Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

  • Is it possible to speed up the network between a host and a guest-vm?

    I need to copy some template PVM files about 1GB-4GB size from my hosts into a guest VM under Oracle VM. I did a scp -p <sourcefile> [email protected]:/  (Destination of the guest-vm IP).
    The copying took about 2.0Mb/s. It took 8mins+ for a 1GB file. I checked on my adapter. There's eth0 and bond0. I am using adapter1: bridge and adapter2: host-adapter. I noticed the copy is using the host adapter "bond0" which is much slower. Is there anyway to speed up the copy?

    Hi Budachst,
    I just recalled. I downloaded some Oracle media installer. These are zip files. I would like to get them installed into a guest-vm. These installer are currently residing in the Host OS. I need to copy them into the guest-vm.
    My current OVM Server sits on top of Virtualbox in laptopA. In Laptop B, I have Virtualbox running and installed OVM Manager. OVM Mgr is able to discover OVM server and managed to get a guest-vm created as well. Two HOST computers are connected via bridge.
    OVM Server is currently configured with bond0 and eth0. Yes, bond0 should be fast. I am getting 3Mbps while copying from Host OS in laptop A to guest-vm.

  • File transfer problem between Host OS and Guest OS

    Hi,
    I have WIndows7 32 bit as a host OS in C drive. and i have installed the Virtualbox in D drive and installed CentOS 6 in virtual box as a guest OS.
    After installing the Guest Additions in CentOS and set the Drg n Drop-Bidirectional. it permits to create shared folder in CentOS but i am not able to drag n drop to any file from host to guest and vice versa.
    Also when i plug the pendrive it copy the partially data in guest OS then it show unpluggeed automatically in guest OS. It copy only .rpm file in guest OS (CentOS)
    please suggest how to copy the file from Host OS to guest OS and vice versa.
    I have installed VirtualBox-4.3.20-96997. i have installed also Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.20-96996.vbox-extpack on windows ( on host OS).
    Thanks.

    The following is from the virtualbox user manual:
    Drag’n’Drop This setting allows to enable Drag and Drop: Select a file on the desktop, click the left mouse button, move the mouse to the VM window and release the mouse button. The file is copied from the host to the guest. This feature is currently only implemented for Linux guests and only for copying files from the host to the guest.
    I guess that explains your experience with Drag'n Drop.
    Regarding USB and the pen drive, you cannot access a USB device in the host and guest OS at the same time. The technology does not support this. You will either have to capture the device to be used/mounted in the host or guest OS. Unless you configure the USB device in the virtual machine settings, the device will normally be captured by the host OS and become inaccessible by the guest OS.
    To copy files between Windows and a VirtualBox Linux guest you can use Putty and it's pscp.exe to copy files from Windows to Linux and vise versa. You may have o enable SSH on your Linux side. There was a post here yesterday, please check the last forum discussions. Alternatively you can also use WinSCP if you want a GUI tool.

  • Teaming options with Windows 2012 R2 Host for HV Guests

    Hi
    We are configuring Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers for Win 2008 / Win 2012 Guest servers. We have 3 NICs and using one for host management and other two in windows teaming. We read many blogs and supported configurations, but still not clear about
    the options with teaming.  Usually with teaming we select the default options such as Switch Independent Teaming mode, Dynamic Load Balancing mode with no standby adapter. Recently with this teaming configuration we faced issues with host servers on multiple
    Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers (the guest hang multiple times) and when we removed one of the NICs from team it started working fine. With the switches we didn't find any issues nor with NICs. Is it because of the default team options? Should we go
    with Hyper V port Load balancing mode?
    Expect support from you guys. Thanks in advance

    There has been posts claiming that your router works on 2.4 MHz. Versus the 5 MHz. Available on A/C/B/G/N wireless routers.
    See if a solution has been found other than switching to 2.4
