Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Problem Building a PC

I just finished building a PC from scratch for a friend, but I've ran into a small problem. When I power it up, everything appears to be working fine. The CPU fan starts spinning, the hard drive comes on, the CDROM's LED light lights up, etc. However, when I plug a monitor in, the monitor doesn't receive any sort of signal.

Ive got a Radeon 6800 in it, and it appears to be installed correctly. That is what I am hooking the monitor up to. Another problem I have noticed is that the CDROM, although the LED lights up, it will not open when the button is pressed. Right now this is not a major issue, I am mainly concerned with getting the monitor working. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should check?

Default Re: Problem Building a PC

Make sure the motherboard isn't being shorted out anywhere. I had a friend build a system where one little screw was touching the motherboard and the case, causing a short. The fans turned on an all, but no video.

Check that.

Also, try pulling out all a cards, drives, etc and see if you get a video feed.

Moving to T&T.
