implementation of the Hosts file on the server for the entire network?

I see a lot of information on how to edit the local Hosts file on individual computers. But, is it possible to edit a Hosts file and have effect throughout the network?

We have a network of a little over half a dozen of Mac mini, who take their DNS information from another Mac Mini running the application server OSX (under El Capitan). This server is the primary DNS machine for the network. I want to implement a Hosts file for the entire network.

Parental control seems to be broken in OSX El Capitan, so this seems like the best next to us, short option to buy some third-party service, which I prefer not to do.

I think that dnsmasq installation on your Mac server and configuration of all your computers to use as your "DNS Server" will achieve what you want.

See osx https://oracle-base.com/articles/misc/dnsmasq-for-simple-dns-configurations-mac-

Why do you feel you must do this?

  • Flex 2 network slows down the entire network

    I bought a Flex 2 a few weeks ago. Installed the software Office 365 and creative cloud by Adobe. Everything worked well on both networks, I connect to.

    Today, performance on the entire network is now gone to the dogs. At first, I suspected the provider or router so crossed all the routines of standard service (this disconnect, which reboot) again and again. Same face, deadly slow performance of several PC and Mac on the network.

    Then, I hit on the idea to close my Lenovo. Suddenly, network download speed of 2 MB/s and the ping from 2000 MS to more normal speeds returned.

    I restarted the Lenovo a couple of times, from 2, 4 GHz to 5 with the same result.

    At some point when I plugged the Lenovo directly into the modem (part of the diagnosis) direct speed seemed faster.

    Because the router works perfectly with all the other machines and I haven't changed a thing on it, and because the symptoms get carried away on the network when the Lenovo is cut, I can only assume that there is something to do with the Lenovo Flex 2 and how it communicates with the rest of the network.

    I should also add that I tried to plug an ethernet cable to make sure that it wasn't just a wireless thing. Still had the slow performance.

    I'm pulling my hair out over this, if I can't fix it, I can't work (no one in my office will be able to work) and will have to return the machine...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the reply.

    After much pulling hair and analysis where the traffic was, it turns out it was a Microsoft cloud service a too aggressive drive that decided to download dozens of large files at the same time instead of in series. This excessive series of connections slowed down the rate of time and transfer of ping everything on the network. Disable updates for OneDrive during periods of work seems to have solved the problem.

    That said, working on this, I see that updates from Lenovo is continually a significant overhead. Do not understand why it takes so resources...

    Thanks again for the response...

  • TCP.invited_nodes settings for the entire network


    I have a test 11.2.0.4 DB which will eventually become a production DB. I am applying the MARINE DISA to. One of the parameters is to use either the Oracle connection manager or apply tcp.invited_nodes. I have about 100 computers that will access the DB via their client software. What is the best way to apply control STIG. I can't foresee adding all 100 ip addresses in the sqlnet.ora file. Thank you.

    Emad Al-Mousa wrote:

    Hello

    I don't think that 1000 hostnames in your file sqlnet can be easily. If your objective to protect illegal database access, while they cannot access unless you have the name of user and password to one account in the database.

    But if someone does not have the credentials (for the argument, let's say he stole their) he can get to the database from anywhere if the network routing allows.

    And, uh, the OP said 100 jobs, not 1000.  This fault of typing is an order of magnitude difference.

    I feed the pain of the OP.  I also had to deal with the DISA STIG spotted requirements which, in this case, are very short.  Secruity level network (for example invited_nodes of tns) should really be done by the router/firewall. TCP.invited nodes requires constant manual adjustment.  Suppose we go to the effort of registering manually the IP 100.  (The parameter even that accepts several?) One could assume that those are the addresses of the workstations that receive their address from the DHCP server.  So as soon as the administrator creates the list, it starts wrong as data workstations will receive new addresses.  And they will receive them often.  Also, the same environment that requires this solution requires that all windows machines apply to all windows updates "immediately".  So every Tuesday you get a group of workstations is restarted and quite probably get new IP addresses.

    Not to mention the new machines to come on the line and old machines being purchased - all without notifying the ADMINISTRATOR to update its list.

    To the op.  In the light of what I have described above, if your list of 100 workstations all in the same subnet, your job is actually quite easy.  You just need to crack coding these 100 addresses.  You could do it now.  To avoid the question of maintenance I have indicated above, you want to go ahead and list all * addresses of potential.

    I hope this helps someone out there.  It took a lot of research and trial and error to figure.  It's a solution and not a question, moderators, please put this in the correct area - I'm sure that's probably not the right one.

    QUESTION: My Internet crashed and this was the situation for several weeks.  I used a hotspot from my phone for connectivity, it was so bad.  If I want to run a speed test, she would record .03Mbps.  Company Internet is out (twice), replaced new modem, dial-up, everything.  Modem became a signal strong, but it was not to reach all devices.  Literally spend days trying to understand this - constant speed running test.  Type a chance, but I noticed that if I turned off my wi - fi, my other devices to get internet antenna full.

    This is my note to the At & T internet tech:

    «I realized the problem - it's a mac question.»  If you see this once again, it's how to diagnose.  If they have a mac running El Capitan or Sierra (both latest versions), it will be a feature for the Photo program that attempts to download all your library - and sometimes loops constantly (this is the bug). When that happens, it will take ALL the bandwidth and choke the internet.  The way you can tell, if you turn off the WIFI antenna on the mac and the speed goes back to normal on all other devices.   You can see if you look at the activity monitor - the Application folder-> utilities-> monitor program - > Network tab.  You will see a function suck bandwidth, called NSURLSESSIOND.  Immediate fix is to run the PHOTOS, click on the PHOTOS-> PREFERENCES-> TAB, either "iCloud library" iCLOUD deselection or pause the update photograph (it does for 24 hours).  Network activity will return to normal, resolved to connectivity issues.  NOTE: you'll still the problem, if connect you the computer to the modem, wifi so isn't the issue. »

    I hope this helps someone!

    Interesting, but I didn't and isn't the problem with El Capitan or Sierra on more than a Mac. It takes some time to download a large Photo library according to your connection speed. I never knew 'loop' a Photo. Maybe some have. Could be a bad installation.

  • Corrected the host file corrupted, now showing 2 host files in XP

    I have a corrupt host file and 2 host files have now for some reason any. What to do to fix this?

    After explaining all this several times, here are some notes:

    The hosts file is a read-only file, hidden system.  It is just a text file that you can manipulate with WordPad, Notepad or any text editor.  Before you modify the hosts file, make a copy of the current in case you need to restore the original.

    The hosts file is (or should be) a file read-only, which means that if change you it, you will not be able to save the changes until you remove the read only attribute of the file.

    You may be able to create a new one or reset your hosts with Microsoft Help file:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034 (this does work as expected the last time I tried).

    If you use the Fix It from Microsoft, you will have no hosts file when you're done (which is not necessarily a bad thing) so you can just read and follow the instructions to find out how to fix it yourself.

    Some third-party software analysis tools (like Spybot) may add entries to the hosts file on purpose to block your browser from loading WWW websites completely or block ads from certain sites WWW.  They claim to have a list of sites that most of the people want to block and insert them into your file hosts for you.  You can always delete the entries in the hosts file manually if you wish.

    Another good option to block ads sites is to use Firefox with the Adblock Plus extension (it is updated regularly with new sites).  If you use that combination, you don't have to worry about your hosts file and these two together really do a good job.

    Malware can also add entries in the host file to redirect the browser to another site than the one you really want to visit WWW.

    For example, if you try to browse to www.google.com, you can find yourself on a WWW site that is inappropriate or simply an advertisement for a product you never heard and do not want.  Your browser will always be redirected away from www.google.com until correct you the hosts file.

    The malware can also modify your hosts file to block your browser to go to Web sites where you might find a solution for how to remove the malicious software.  The malware sometimes knows what you're going to try to find and remove, so it will prevent you to do so.

    If your hosts file has been manipulated by malware, edit the hosts file does not remove the malware.  You will still need to scan your system with software tools to make sure that the malware has entirely disappeared.

    Malware analysis tools can also remove the malicious software and leave the bad entries in the hosts file.  Analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the file hosts were made on purpose or by malware you still may need to edit the file hosts manually in case of redirection of the browser once the malware has been removed.

    Some analytical tools will report changes to the hosts as a suspect file and allow you to review the changes and allow you to decide whether the changes are appropriate, and to take action.

    Sometimes, analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the hosts file have been put there by malicious software or you put there on purpose so cannot do not report any problems with the hosts file.  This does not mean that the hosts file has not been adjusted by malicious software.

    A hosts file is not required for your browser to operate.  If you suspect a problem with the hosts file, you can rename the hosts file and test your browsing without it.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    To manipulate the hosts file, you need to make hidden files not hidden and remove the attribute only read the hosts file.

    In Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

    Click on tools. Of files, display options.  In advanced settings, enable (check) the box option for:

    Display the hidden files and folders

    Click OK.

    The hosts file has also no extension (for example, .exe or .doc) and it may be useful to also see the file extensions for all files in
    the folder.  While you adjust the display of folder options, bring up the file extensions.

    Click on tools, Options, view.  In advanced settings, clear (uncheck) the box:

    Hide extensions of known file types

    Click OK.

    Now the hosts file must be visible and you can also see the file extensions.

    Make a copy of the current hosts file and name the copy something he can remember so that you can find it later and cancel
    any change if the changes don't work or things get worse.

    The host file is usually a single reading, so to change it, you must remove the read-only attribute:

    Make a right-click the hosts file, properties, uncheck the box that says:

    Read-only

    Click OK.

    Now you can edit the hosts file with a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad).  Be sure to save the hosts file after any changes.

    You will need to decide what is in your hosts file.  The default hosts file has only one entry (and a lot of comments) so if you think that the hosts file are the part of your question, you can remove all but the default entry and save the file.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    You should make hosts read-only folder again when you are finished making changes.  Obviously some programs or malware do not pay attention to the attributes of a file read-only, but it is advisable for the host file to be unalterable.

    If you want to, reverse explore changes to hide system files and extensions of known file types.

    If you think your hosts file is irretrievably, replace the contents with the default values of Windows.

    The default for Windows XP hosts file looks like this:

    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address must
    # be placed in the first column, followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    space #.
    #
    # In addition, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the name of the machine indicated by a symbol "#".
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    There are places on the Internet to download information to your hosts file which is based on what other people think your hosts file must block or allow for your Internet browsing.  Sometimes that works very well, but you now need to know more on the manipulation of the hosts file now so that you can decide what's best for your environment.

    Here's some additional reading on how to manipulate your hosts file:

  • Synchronize with the server not search entire site?

    I went to Dreamweaver CS6 CC recently, and when I hit the button "Synchronize with the server" to compare local files on the server, it seems to ignore this file I selected in the "files" window and compare the whole site.  It takes forever and I thought that it was "suspended" in the beginning, but without meaning to, let him consecrated in the background while I was doing another thing and found that it has finally completed the task, but rather than simply verify that a folder, he compared all the and all the files on the server for my entire site!

    I do the same thing, that I used to do with CS6, but the behavior is different.  I do it a lot, and if I can't fix this, I'll have to give up CC and return to the CS6.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you!

    Theo

    Thanks for the reply!  The link you sent me is a completely different topic, synchronize my Dreamweaver with the Cloud parameters, considering what I've been struggling with syncs my files from the local site with files in the site on the remote server.

    But by going over it again just at the time, I discovered that I wasn't paying attention: when I used to hit the button "synchronize the files on the remote server" on CS6, there was a parameter in the dialog box that came that said to synchronize "local files only," while the same setting in CC said , "Holy Cross the entire Site" ("Holy Cross" is the site I'm working on the Church's web site) and I've done this so hundreds of times, I just wasn't looking for these options, and more, and it didn't occur to me that one of them could be causing my problem.

    Of course, when I set it to "only for local files", he did what I wanted.  I apologize for not having understood what was the problem before.

    Thanks again!

  • How to hide the user network in Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a domain where we changed windows XP customers 7. It is one of the many areas in the school, so we do not want users to be able to see the network.

    I got through a few Registry hacks and an adm template to hide all references to the network in windows Explorer, but the open/save file dialog boxes do not respect this setting and the entire network is available.

    I managed to control this behavior in windows xp using "no entire network in network locations" policies and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only. Will there be an equivalent value in Server 2008 R2 group policy that applies to Windows 7?

    Can anyone help with any suggestion to prevent users from being able to see and browse the network in this way?

    I scoured the group policies, but I have not been able to track down a setting that will allow me to control this behavior.

    I disabled the network discovery and I have also disabled the following computer policy:
    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the IO of the Mapper (LLTDIO) driver

    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the answering machine driver (RSPNDR)

    I'm now hacks out of ideas other than the registry to turn off the navigation pane in the open/save dialog box, but I already know of one application that we use does not respect the windows way of doing things so that the network will still be visible through this application.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    As I posted yesterday, I solved this by a pretty messy workaround. It is to import registry fragments set some properties of the Solution Explorer and using a custom ADM template to show and hide items in the open/save dialog boxes. It took a lot of time to work this out and it's not ideal - but it works at an acceptable level.

    Group Policy settings that are supposed to control this behavior (as I said in my original question) are "no entire network in network locations" and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only" - it seems (to my surprise) no equivalent Windows 7 workstations. I tried to define these policies in case there has been an error in the description - but these settings have not been respected on the desktop.

    I posted this in several other places - another microsoft site and several other sites and have not found information on the relevant group policy settings.

    As I said - I found a workaround for this thread can be resolved/closed - but repost in another forum management should not be marked as an answer, because it does not help people who find this thread at a later date. I can reach some fragments of registry (for later import with a startup script or group policy preferences) and the appropriate adm templates if moderators think that here would be useful.

  • Cannot migrate through the required network. Someone please...?

    I've set up 3 ESXi hosts connected via 2 parallel networks. One is a slower network (base 100) on 192.168.12.0/24, and the other is a speed gigabit on 10.1.1.0/24 network. Each host is to have two physical network adapters for each network.

    Home #1 Config is as follows: (also see attached photo)

    vSwitch0 (connected to vmNic0 )-> a

    -Network VM (Machine Virtual Port group)

    -Management network (VMKernel Port) vmk0: 192.168.12.30

    vSwitch1 (connected to vmNic1 )-> a

    -Network SAN (Virtual Machine port group)

    -VMKernel-Special (VMKernel Port) vmk1: 10.1.1.30

    NOTE: Host 2 also has a similar setup with a different set of IP addresses.

    My problem is that when I try to cold migrate a virtual machine from one host to another (in the left pane you see, sound of 192.168.12.30 to 192.168.12.32), he's still doing the migration through the slower network (vSwitch 0). I want to be cold migration through the fastest gigabit set to vSwitch network 1.

    I have not yet tried make clusters or vmotion, because I can't seem to properly configure the network I want to serve. so can you please help me with this? I want to make sure when I do the migration (migration to cold to start), happens through the network of my choice, which in this case is the gigabit network. Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The stream migration cold traffic over the first Appliance for management of the system detects. In your case, there are two, with the slower network, being the first one it finds. There is no way to route based on activity, so that you either the entire network managemernt vSwitch1 or you live with slower speeds. Personally, I'm not sure that I would never have my network of virtual computer on the same link as my device/network management since they are generally two areas of different trust, etc..

  • Vista does not recognize the printer network driver.

    Recently, I built a new desktop computer and install Vista Home Premium (64) bits.  I have a HP Deskject 5650 connected to another computer on desktop running Windows XP.  When I try to add the shared printer on the 64 bit Vista computer it will not find the drive.
    I was able to share this printer on 3 laptops 2 running HP Vista (32 bit), one XP and shared with friends running a variety of OS including Ubuntu and OS10.
    I managed to install the printer directly on the new office.  It works very well with a direct connection.
    I have found the correct driver in the prnhp001.inf of the Windows/inf directory, it contains this listed
    "hp deskjet 5600 series (HPA).

    I have attached the printer either by browsing or via its TCP/IP address.  Windows says that the xp machine doesn't have the right driver.  It askes for the directory with the correct driver.  I have it to point to the directory, but he comes back and says window cannot find an appropriate driver.  Contact your administrator for help to find and install an appropriate driver.
    Is there a way to force Vista to load the correct driver, as he did for the version 32 bit on my laptop?
    Any other suggestions would be helpful.  I would like to use Office XP as a print server for the entire network, but this problem is to thwart this attempt.

    Hi bobxnc,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    You will have to visit the HP website and download and then manually install the driver for Vista 64-bit on the Vista machine.  After installing the driver, it should connect and locate the driver on your computer to the printer.  Driver for 64-bit system are usually different 32-bit system, this could be the cause of the problem.

  • The bridge network to the ethernet ports

    I have an Airport Extreme base station for my wireless at home. The problem I have is that the base station is not near a few features, that I need to hard wire. I read that you can set up a network bridge and if I understand correctly, this concept, it's like setting up of another wireless device, but this second device provides you with the required Ethernet ports for connectivity. Is it possible to do with the Airport Express secondary device?

    Most of the other posts that I read said to extend the wireless range, but the range of my base station is not the issue. I just need a couple on the way ports. I've heard this can slow down the entire network however. Is this feasible? All known reserves? Advice is appreciated.

    Is it possible to do with the Airport Express secondary device?

    Yes

    Most of the other posts that I read said to extend the wireless range, but the range of my base station is not the issue. I just need a couple on the way ports. I've heard this can slow down the entire network but

    It all depends on if you configure the AirPort Express to "extend" the network... which will lower the maximum speed potential of the network by all 40-50%...or...whether that you set up the base AirPort Express for simply to 'join' the network... which causes a decrease in the speed of the network... but it will provide 2-port Ethernet for wired devices.

    If you need more than 2 ports Ethernet on the Express, you can add an Ethernet 5 port, 8-port switch, etc., to create as many ports as you need.

    Don't know what kind of speed you need for the Ethernet ports, but they are limited to 100 Mbps, then that would be the maximum speed available ports Ethernet on the Express.

  • E4200 block a URL on the WHOLE network

    I'm trying to block two URL on the network through my E4200. I'm having a devil of a time to do this, I have connexiona my router via the browser (web Setup) (because I think that Cisco Connect on the Mac is the worst software ever written.) And I go to the page of Access Restrictions. I understand that I have to use the part of the strategy of Internet access to do some more advanced than the Parental control settings.

    I have a name for my rule, well. Activate it. Go to the page of PC applied. Open the page for entering the MAC and IP addresses. I'm going to the range of IP addresses and buried in the numbered box 01; 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.51 which in my case is the enitre network. Save the settings and close this window.

    I do not restrict access to refuse because it seems to block the entire network set.

    So I'm going to the blocking of the website by address URL option and enter the URL to block.

    I do not have anything with the Applications blocked because I don't want to block an application or a specific service. If I click on save settings.

    And yet when I go to the URL to block it does not work! Why is this?

    Here is a screenshot of my settings:

    http://CL.LY/2V42291z1W2h3a1Z0v19

    What I am doing wrong?

    Your settings are correct, except that you must leave the slash at the end of the URL.

    The deny/allow buttons are for internet access, which is why when you clicked on refuse, you have lost the connection to the internet.
