MatthewScars said:im having an issue getting my OSPF network segment to work with my EIGRP network segment. Im sure you know how to redistribute dynamic IP routing protocols in a multi-protocol ENV? I also have BGP on my edge for ISP redundancy and need to configure it.
This is for my home network.
i have a more simple question. how can i add a local disk on a workstation with 2 partitions(1 visible/1 hidden) and allow only the hidden partition to be visible by other work stataions on a workgroup network. simply put, i dont want the workstation where the disk resides locally be able to see and/or access this partition but allow other workstations to see and/or access to this partition.
thks for the info.Assuming the drive is formatted NTFS, apply NTFS permissioning to the volume; permitting only only the users/security groups you want to access it.
Would that work?
thks for the info.
i have done that, but how do i hide that partition to the local workstation and allow other remote workstations to access it?
A local workstation has access to all of its own drives and partitions. While in some situations you can prevent a user from having local admin rights, you can't prevent the computer from seeing itself or its parts. (However, you can prevent an OS from seeing a partition, but now we're just getting into some ugly, ugly stuff...)
Can I ask WHY you would want to do this?
Natively not sure if Windows can hide a partition without the use of 3rd party tools. What you can do is not assign it a drive letter, but create an NTFS mount point so it'll look like a folder, then apply the NTFS permissions. Now you've piqued my interest, I'll try it under a VM client.
if i unassign a drive letter(hide a partition), the partition/folder is not visible/accessible by other workstations.
i'm using paragon hard disk manager server 10 and acronis remote server.
thks widdy, i may have to resort to mounting partition within partition(merging) option.
Of course all that can be circumvented by a semi technical savvy person. But it can deter the average user and young children, I only say young because I know 14 year olds that can Powershell me till the cows come home.![]()
or i can just put it on a portable drive. lol!
OK here is a rather pedestrian question: I live in a house on a college campus and the campus is a free wireless hot spot. I get the signal in my house, but only in some of the rooms ( the back half of the house ) and then only weakly. I had been using a cheap Belkin signal booster to beef up the signal, but that for some unknown reason has ceased to work-- hardware issue?, something change on the campus network end? I'm not sure.
So the question, how should I best go about grabbing and boosting the signal? Please remember that I do not understand that strange language you are all speaking above![]()
