IP addresses static, annihilated, changed automatically obtained

I would like to believe that Windows XP SP3 updates and patches do not lower its security settings, but I start to doubt.  Since 12-31, all user machines here have been updated and some users began to have conflicts of IP. I studied, I found that many of the machines in my organization had connection of local area from the static IP address settings to obtained automatically.  Is it possible that windows updates has changed that?  Otherwise, everyone is aware of a worm that will do this?  I'm at my wits end after changing the static IP on all these machines in recent days.  Thanks to all those who can provide insight.

It depends on how the network is configured in general and how its servers and routers work.

Since you do not provided any description about the network and its configuration, there is no way of knowing.

P.S. If it is a commercial network, you are much better handled in the IT Pro Forums on TechNet.

  • V to V conversion Exchange address static IP to DHCP - help requested

    We had a problem following a conversion from V to V that we need help on.  We are the conversion of computer virtual running on a server ESXi 4 hardware version 03:53 to make it compatible with some older servers running ESXi 3.5 only because they are not on the HCL. ESXi 4 list.

    Prior to conversion, Windows servers have static IP addresses.  Following the conversion, the static IP address is changed to DHCP assigned addresses.  Someone can advise to what setting in VMware converter controls this behavior and how to maintain IP address static of the OS to convert the same after the conversion, as it was beforehand?

    Thank you!

    The loss of an IP address in any conversion process is normal and expected.  Expecially for windows, since a new MAC address is assigned to the NIC cards.

    If you want to change the static IP address, you will need to either save the IP settings before hand... or... use the functionality of SysPrep converter for re - assign everything.

    Overall, it is perhaps easier to reallocate IP addresses just to hand post p2v.

  • Apple compromised account? My phone number has been updated and the address has been changed

    Earlier today, I was working on my mac and a notification popped up saying "AppleCare would like to view your screen". Since I didn't ask help or whatever it is I clicked on the decline. The message kept appearing for 5 times or more, whenever I clicked on the decline.

    A few minutes later I received an email saying that my phone number had been kidnapped to VoicePass. So I logged in my support profile and my phone number had indeed disappeared, replaced by another phone number. My address was also changed. I tried to delete the phone number and add new my phone number, but he wouldn't let me.

    My account has been compromised? I tried to contact apple, but I can't do, and the first call that I could program online is on Sunday.

    Thank you.

    Why were you not able to change the phone numbers on VoicePass? Did you change your password immediately Apple ID? I would recommend that do you if you have not yet.

    See you soon,.

  • My address bar has changed color in itself

    I use the default theme in Mozilla and today the address bar has changed color from clear blue to windows blue, and the arrows and the "home" button are white instead of black. Since I haven't done anything intentionally and don't want it to appear like that, how can I reverse it? Curiously, the address bar when 'Help' is opened seems the usual way.

    Hi Jscher,

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my question. I managed to me after a little sorting (Finally, a little) tweaking autour. It seems that I unchecked the "always show the bar of tabs" under Options/tabs and made the section of bar any transparent address as the windows and buttons next to him white instead of black. After I checked it again, everything is back to normal.

  • Windows 7 change automatically the compatibility on steam

    Hello

    I just had a strange error output of steam, in which Windows says it has detected problems of compatibility and changed automatically in response to this. There is no option to cancel the changes, and looking at the exe of steam, no compatibility setting have been changed.

    However, when I go to open steam now, it detects that it is in compatibility mode and does not open. Anyone has any idea how I would like to undo changes?

    I do not understand why Windows has changed the settings in the first place, as it has been working well since the RC is released.

  • How to set or change automatic backup settings

    Original title: computer

    My computer makes a noise whirring of laborious struggling. I cleaned with care, but still, it looks like a car that won't start. I'm afraid he's going to die on me and nothing is saved as backup of the island is due this Sunday. Can I replace the Sunday backup in case he dies? Any advice on what has happened to my computer works very well. A bit slow but everything ok my chap of the computer is on vacation until next week.

    Hi Nicky,

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    If you want to change the time of backup runs, in the time list, check the box for every hour of the day you want your backup to run. Clear the check box for any time that you do not want Backup to run.

    Select one of the following options:

    • Custom. Does not set a default time for the backup to run.

    For more information see set or change automatic backup settings.

    Also as you mentioned that your computer makes a noise, I suggest you check if all cables are tied up and the CPU fan is properly cleaned.

    Meet us, then we can help you further.

  • Definition of custom alarm == > changes automatically Green State?

    Greetings,

    I set two alarms for preventing me from certain actions (like opening a console to a virtual computer), that works. However the alarm also changes the "status" of the machine to "alert" until I have manually reset the alarm green or 'normal '. Is it possible to run a command that sets the virtual back to normal computer or even better, not change the State of the virtual machine to "alert" when an alarm is triggered?

    I know, it seems logical that this is not possible, but you never know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bram

    If there is an alarm representing a State he should change automatically as soon as the alarm has disappeared. But if there is an alarm represents an event, why should he disappear automatically? By confirming the alarm, you show that you recognized.

    Open a console is an event, not a status. Try to set the status not to alarm but normal, vCenter should show nothing then, but maybe you get triggered action (if you defined one).

    If you keep it as an alarm or warning, you need to confirm.

  • Why the menu items change automatically?

    As I'm changed some stuff around on my test Business Catalyst site, I noticed that if I change the URL of a given page (I've changed the 'Shop' page to / sponsor), the menu item URL has not changed automatically. I don't even know the name of it has changed (I can understand as a 'function'). I thought it was a reason to use a CMS like this, that a lot of things like link exchange occur automatically. I'm sure other CMS like Drupal and Joomla do this automatically. There are chances that this will change in the future? Or maybe there is a reason why it's like that I forget?

    Thank you!

    Hi umiwangu,

    In my experience with BC as well as other systems, it is important to note that the pages and menu items are separated from each other.

    When a user creates a page it is not automatically added to a menu. Similarly, when a user changes the URL of a page that has been added to a menu, the menu item URL in question not is not updated automatically.

    So, if you changed a URL of the page that ends by "/ shop" to "/ sponsor ' you should be able to easily view this new URL in a browser. However, if you want the menu item that is linked to the old URL to reflect the new URL, then you will need to change the URL of item of the menu so they can talk to each other in the future.

    Yes, it's an extra step (crucial) update your menu items, but (in my experience) URL decisions are not something that is changed frequently - especially when it comes to SEO.

    In any case, I hope it helps! -Alex

  • Since the update to version 27.0b2 on Win8.1 x 64 my buttons extension (on my address bar) keep changing positions whenever I start Fx.

    As I said, version 27.0b1 worked very well. But once I upgraded to 27.0b2, the icons of the extension (buttons) on my address bar would automatically change position and sometimes even go MIA! (will not be displayed even)! Whenever I have customize and drag the icons in position, it stays that way until I close Fx and then restart. Then the same problem occurs.

    This exact behavior also happens with the 28 all night (Australis) that I have on another PC. Which affected the devs with this update from 27.0b2? It's driving me crazy. Can someone please help?

    On my system: Win 8.1 (64-bit). Only the profile of Fx (default). I have not recently installed any new plugins or extensions.

    Best is to check the problems caused by a corrupted in such cases localstore.rdf file.

    Note that the installation of the toolbar is maintained in a pref (browser.uiCustomization.state) Australis.

    Note that Aurora is currently Firefox 28.0a2 and the Nightly build with 29.0a1 Australis.

    Australis is very different from that of the previous layout of the toolbar and many extensions will get broken.

    Things can change at any time when the new land code, so be prepared to learn more (perhaps unpleasant) surprises.
