" Long ago, owners of computers running Windows XP, trying to copy files across the network to another computer, would see a cryptic message Not enough server storage is available to process this command. It appears that, under Windows 7, this message continues, now phrased as Not enough storage is available to process this command. In some cases, the file copying may involve just one computer - or maybe one obvious computer, connected to a digital camera . This message is connected to an obscure registry setting in Windows Networking , IRPStackSize. It looks like Microsoft, as an attempt to make Windows 7 less mysterious, removed the word "server" from the message. Unfortunately, Googling for "not enough storage is available to process this command. windows 7" turns up a few search hits - but many discussions seem to fumble around a bit , before arriving at the original article KB177078 from Microsoft Support . >> Top 3 comments Links to this post Topics: File Sharing , KB177078 , Windows 7 , Windows Networking Share This Post! Del.icio.us Digg Facebook StumbleUpon Technorati Twitter Web Sites Increasing Vigilance Against Malware These days, if you're publishing a web site - or surfing the web - you have to watch your back, constantly. Merely publishing a secure site - or only surfing to secure sites - may not be enough . Any link on any web site might link to another web site, with malware. Worse, any link on any web site might not link to a web site with malware, but to a web site that links to another web site, with malware. And so on ... How do you draw the line how far to look? You can use a browser add-on which monitors your surfing , and tells you which web sites are safe, or aren't safe - but that add-on better go beyond just checking the immediate web site. This month, we see progress in that direction. Just yesterday, I was asked, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken I see that Blogger says "Blog Unavailable" Upon further investigation, I found interesting reports from "safebrowsing.clients.google.com", which appears to be a database fed by Google and StopBadware.org. The top level reports simply says that "earnovertheinternet.blogspot.com" is a dodgy web site. Here I won't comment on the name, more commentary will be found elsewhere. We click on the "Why was this site blocked" button, and see the report for "earnovertheinternet.blogspot.com" . "earnovertheinternet.blogspot.com" is clean, but it links to "popuptraffic.com". We click on the link for "popuptraffic.com", and see the report for "popuptraffic.com" . "popuptraffic.com" is clean, but it links to "javapo.t35.com", "downner.blogspot.com", and "lpspain.galeon.com". We click on the link for "javapo.t35.com", and see the report for "javapo.t35.com" . "javapo.t35.com" is not clean . Reports for "downner.blogspot.com", and "lpspain.galeon.com" contained similar warnings. I'll note here the stated dangers from "javapo.t35.com" 25 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent ...

The owner of "earnovertheinternet.blogspot.com" (you'll note that I won't be linking there) states his intention to clean up his act, and to convince at least one other web site to do likewise . I will remove those popups ... I asked the admin of popuptrafic This is a start. Get the responsible web sites to remove their links to dodgy web sites. Enough action here, and one day, maybe no more dodgy web sites .

Del.icio.us Digg Facebook StumbleUpon Technorati Twitter Getting Internet Service Requires More Than Excellent Signal Strength As computers in general, and WiFi in particular, become more like home appliances and less tools or toys owned by the geeky or the wealthy, not everybody who needs Internet access will be able to get it at any given time. Some people aren't aware of the details involved, especially when using the convenient WiFi connectivity. Reports like My Internet connection is Excellent, but when I start Internet Explorer, I see The page cannot be displayed. What is going on here? are becoming more and more common in many forums. Between turning on on your WiFi equipped computer, and seeing the home page of your choice pop up in the browser window, there are a few details which you need to consider. Is this your WiFi access point ? Setup your WiFi access point so you connect only to it. Are there any signal interference sources inside your home ? Make sure that noise doesn't prevent your connection. Is your WiFi security setup properly? Make sure that you can connect, but your neighbours can't hijack your connection. Is your selected WiFi channel available? Make sure that there is bandwidth available. Have you run a WiFi environment survey ? Make sure that there is a channel available. Have you tried using Ethernet ? Make sure that the problem is with WiFi, not your Internet service in general. All of these are issues which involve WiFi connectivity, and all different ways. The bottom line, though, is that WiFi will never replace Ethernet . And there are other issues which affect Internet connectivity in general, but might still affect this computer, alone. >> Top 4 comments Links to this post Topics: Nitecruzr.Net , WiFi , WiFi Security , WiFi Troubleshooting Share This Post!
