How to Access the Internet Through a Router Hardwired to a Desktop ComputerIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Check that your router is connected to your Internet modem using an Ethernet cable. This may be a cable, DSL or satellite Internet modem, depending on the type of Internet service you have.
Connect the router to your computer using an Ethernet cable. Most routers will have four ports to connect computers to. These ports are usually numbered, one through four, in a row in the back. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into any of those four ports and the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
Turn on your modem, router and desktop computer, in that order. Windows will automatically configure your Internet connection.
Run an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome. You will find a browser in your start menu under “All Programs”. Internet Explorer comes with all copies of Windows.
Type the address of any site into the address bar of the browser. You can now enjoy the Internet.

How to Make an XBox Boot to UnleashXIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Download an FTP program available online and install the program to your computer. Double-click on the FTP program set up file to install it. Click 'Next' when prompted and choose a directory to which to install the program.
Power on your Xbox and go to the Evolution X dashboard. Open the FTP program on your computer and go to 'File,' 'Quick Connect.' Set the port to '21;' the default user name and password for the Xbox are 'xbox.' Click 'Connect' to connect to your Xbox hard drive. The FTP program will display your computer drive on one side of the screen and the Xbox hard drive on the other. You can copy files to and from your Xbox by dragging and dropping the specific file into the directory you want to place it.
Copy the 'xboxdash.xbe' on the Xbox C:/ drive to your hard drive to make a backup copy. This is the original Microsoft Xbox dashboard file.
Place the UnleashX 'default.xbe' on the Xbox C:/ drive and name a replacement dash name such as 'evoxdash.xbe' Copy the UnleashX 'config.xml' file to the Xbox C: drive also. This config.xml file can be edited to control different settings of the Xbox such as fan speed and dashboard settings.
Close the FTP program and power down your Xbox. Turn your Xbox back on and it should boot to the Unleash X dashboard.

How to Troubleshoot Network Connection IssuesIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Determine whether the problem has to do with the network connection. For example, are you trying to access a webpage and your browser keeps prompting you with a 'Page cannot be displayed' error? Use a major search engine to find an alternate link to your original destination. If that works, then there is most likely a problem with the website and not with the network connection.
Check your computer's physical connection to the network. This will require you to check your data jack or Ethernet cable. Verify which port your Ethernet cable is connected to. In many cases, network connection issues can be resolved by checking to see if the correct cables are being used, or if they are plugged in the right places. In addition, you should test your router to make sure that it is working properly.
Find the network connections setting within your operating system if it's not a physical connection issue. In Windows 7, right-click the 'Internet Access' icon (appears as several vertical bars) in the task bar and select 'Troubleshoot problems.' The Windows Network Diagnostics dialog appears. When prompted what type of networking problem you're experiencing, click on 'I'm trying to reach a specific website or folder on a network.' Then enter the address or path you are trying to connect to.In Mac OS X, go to 'System Preferences' and click on 'Network.' Select the built-In Ethernet option, and click on 'Configure.'
Examine your firewall to confirm that it doesn't prevent you from connecting to the network. In many cases, your settings may be too high. You can also disable any background applications that may be running and preventing you from accessing the network. In a worst-case scenario, you may have a virus other malware that prevents you from properly accessing your network.
Contact your department's or campus technical support (IT) staff if your issues still have not been resolved. There may be something else that is wrong that needs to be addressed. Hopefully they will be able to troubleshoot your network connection issue.

What Is a Port Scan Attack on a Computer?In Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
A linear port scan involves scanning every port on a system. Internet Protocol ports use a 16-bit numbering system, which means a total of 65,536 ports can exist on a single IP address. A liner port scan will scan all of these ports to see which ones are open, closed or hidden.
Random Port Scan
A random port scan is similar in concept to a linear port scan. However, with a random port scan, only a specified number of random ports are scanned instead of all of the available port numbers. The reason for doing this is to speed up the scan, particularly when the attacker is scanning multiple computers in attempt to find vulnerabilities. With a random port scan, if any of the scanned ports are found to be open, the attacker will investigate that computer further.
Well-Known Service Port Scan
Many services run on established 'Well-Known' ports, such as ports 25 and 110 for e-mail, 21 for FTP and 80 for the Internet. A port scan that only targets well-known ports is similar in concept to a random port scan, except the port numbers are predefined instead of random. Like a random port scan, if any of the tested ports are found to be open, the attacker will investigate the computer further.
Reconnaisance
After the specified method of port scanning has completed, the attacker views the results and further investigates those computers containing open ports. When a port is found to be open, it means that some type of service is running on that port, and there's a chance that the attacker can exploit it for the purposes of gaining remote access to the computer system. With a proper access exploit in place, an attacker could potentially gain control of the computer system.
