Clicking The Advanced Tab in Outlook Causes Error
Hi Carey, I am a computer tech. at a GIS business in Georgetown. I have been introduced to an Outlook Error that I would like to seek help on. In Outlook 2002, click view, click Current View, click Customize Current View, click the Filter button, and then when you click the Advanced Tab a Microsoft error appears saying that Microsoft Outlook needs to close.

Scanner Won't Scan After Upgrade
Hi Carey:
My OS is Win 98 SE and had a perfectly running HP scanner 3530c untill I updated to IE6 from 5.5. Every time I try to scan something now an IE box opens (not the browser itself) and tells me I have an error on the script of this page and do I want to continue running it. No mater what I choose to do it scews up file://C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardDigital Imagingbbfedirectordirector.htm /line 261 char 4, which then adds more lines and characters as I try to get it to dissapear.

Monitor Malfunctioning
Hi Carey,
The original monitor with my eMachine eTower 566i2 started blinking a few months ago. It would slowly grow dim and then brighten up again. and then one day it just stopped functioning altogether. Then I switched to another used monitor and put on a spike buster just to make sure that this was not because of power fluctuations. But this one started behaving the same way.

Trouble With Task Scheduling
Carey: My wife has a windows xp system & I am having trouble scheduling any maintenance tasks to run automatically. No matter what I do on the status page it says "the scheduled task did not run because an incorrect password or user name was used". I specifically would like to run the disk cleanup when ever the system is idle or when she logs on, as for some reason her "compress files" area just fills up a whole bunch each day 32,000 or more. Is there a way we can stop that also?
Thanks,
Jim Wallace

RedHat and USB devices
I started to use RedHat 7.3. Although it has come a long way and I really like how all the Linux Distributions are turning out, RedHat 7.3 makes me mad for only a few reasons:

Sniffing with Net::Cap to stealthily managing iptables rules remotely, Part 1
In our saga that began several weeks ago, we're trying to create a firewall setup that allows no inbound access by default that can be modified remotely to allow a small window of inbound SSH connectivity. Remember that this machine must have no inbound TCP ports accessible to pass muster with the Windows-biased IT administrators, yet we want to allow inbound SSH dynamically when needed.[1]

The Care and Feeding of Your iPod
Before I ponied up the bucks and bought my first iPod, I had one of those peewee flash memory MP3 players that held about 32 megabytes of music and sucked down AAA batteries like a Tampa Bay linebacker guzzling Gatorade on a hot Florida day. When I saw the light and bought an iPod, the realization that I was not going to have to keep feeding the Energizer Bunny every other day was a joyous one. The iPod's rechargeable battery promises hours and hours of music on the go, and all I had to do was remember to plug it into my Mac or an AC adapter to charge it up when it needed more power.

Blue Screen On Startup Woes
Reader Question:
Hi Carey,
I've got a problem with my win98se; hope you can enlighten me-- every time I boot up windows the OS goes to the blue harddisk scan screen indicating that I've not shut down the PC properly. I'm pretty sure the PC is properly shut down after each use. What could I do to rectify this? Do I need to reinstall windows?

Mysterious Error Message
Reader Question:
I have just got a new computer with Windows XP installed on it. I have had the usual password problems but it also does not disconnect after receiving/sending mail although I have told it to do so. I also get an error message when I shut down from outlook express - "the instruction at ox 77fs2004 referenced memory at oxo 7f4608 the memory could not be written." Any idea what this means please? And how I can make it disconnect until I get broad band?

IE Malfunctioning - Or Is It?
Reader Question:
I have Windows XP home edition with IE ver.6.0 installed on it. My problem is with the IE icon in the bottom toolbar - it will not keep multiple windows open. If I click the back button to access a previous site, the present window closes, meaning I have to retype the address of that site in , or use the drop-down menu, in order to access it again. Any advice? Thanks!

Building A Linux Router
Building a reliable, full-featured broadband router can be very easy and cost-efficient. This article is about building one for routing a LAN to the Internet with NAT (Network Address Translation -- Linux users also call it as IP Masquerading) using an old computer and a Linux micro-distribution designed to have very low hardware requirements. We'll end up having a very simple and stable system, yet featuring e.g. iptables based stateful firewalling and remote administration.
