ExWNYer Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 So I go into the office on Wednesday to file a travel voucher (after being gone for over a week) and find that they've done something to our server. I never had any problems getting to or using TSW...until Wednesday. I can get to the TBD homepage, read the articles, etc. with no problem. However, when I try to go to TSW I get a blocked message. Damn firewalls! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Any suggestions or am I just SOL? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter, I'm usually off early enough where I can check in at home. I'll just miss my lunchtime fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OS is on a CD and runs in memory. Even if someone did an exploit for virtual root and managed to upload some sort of rootkit, a simple reboot of the computer and its gone. But on the safe side, I do write the log files to a backup machine I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What OS is the backup server running? What's the IP address, I'll look around CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
