    You cannot be attached both a domain and a workgroup at the same time. It won't work. If you are connected to a domain, you will not be able to see the resources on a network of working group and vice versa.

    Hello
    A Windows Server domain is a logical group of computers running versions of Microsoft Windows operating system that share a central directory database. This central database (called Active Directory from Windows 2000 [1], Domain Services Active Directory in Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2, also referred to as NT Directory Services on operating systems Windows NT, or NTDS) contains the user accounts and the security information for resources in this area. Each person who uses computers in a domain receives its own unique account or user name. This account can then be assigned access to resources within the domain.

    In a domain, the directory resides on computers that are configured as "domain controllers." A domain controller is a server that manages all aspects related to security between the user and domain interactions, centralizing administration and security. A Windows Server domain is usually adapted to the companies and/or organizations when more than 10 PCs are in use.

    Working groups Windows, on the other hand, is the other model to group windows computers in a network environment that comes with Windows. Workgroup computers are considered to be 'standalone' - i.e. There is no formal affiliation or the authentication process formed by the working group. A working group has no servers and clients, and as such, it represents the paradigm of Peer-to-Peer network (or from Client to Client), rather than to centralised architecture constituted by Client-Server. Working groups are considered difficult to manage beyond a dozen clients and lack of unique signature, scalability, resilience disaster recovery and many features of security functionality. Working groups of Windows are more suitable for small or office networks home.

    A domain does not refer to a single location or a specific type of network configuration. Computers in a domain can share a physical proximity on a small LAN, or they may be located in different parts of the world. As long as they can communicate, their physical position is irrelevant.

    Active Directory computers within a domain can be assigned in OUs based on location, organizational structure, or other factors. In the area of the original Windows Server machines system (shipped with Windows NT 3.x/4) could only be seen in two States of administrative tools, 1) computers detected (on the network) and 2) computers which were actually in the domain. Active Directory makes it easier for administrators to manage and deploy changes to the network and political (see Group Policy) to all connected machines to the domain.

    Computers can connect to a domain easily via LAN or WAN using a VPN connection. The users in a domain are able to use enhanced security for the VPN connection with the support of a certification authority that is granted when a field is added to a network, and thus the smart cards and digital certificates can be used to confirm the identities and protect the stored information.

  • What is POP, POP3 and IMAP, when I set up my email account in the HP ePrint App?

    I did as much research as I can do regarding the implementation of the HP ePrint App e-mail accounts.  If you do not see your e-mail information listed here, feel free to post below or contact your internet service company provider, by phone or e-mail, or to anyone else who might know this. I am sure there are many others that could be added, but this is a pretty comprehensive list.  I hope you find what you need to complete the setup of your e-mail applications.

    I noticed information differs from site to site, but as I've learned over time, masking the area and companies buying other companies, I just studied all the information that I could find and also if one of the names of hosts or ports does not work, then you can continue see below on this page to see if this information is the same. At that point, if you do not find what you need here, I would say that you have done all you can do before contacting appropriate for your information by email support team.

    Most of the links is active and those listed below should send you directly the pages I pulled this information since then, but only a few of them came from the real support of the sites themselves (Apple support was vague, as well as Microsoft, Macintosh and commonly used Internet services providers). Save you time by searching here first.  I hope that you will find what you need in this one-stop-shop and if you get an email that is not listed here, please report it below and I'll add it to this original document.

    Finally, as this information comes to the forum and other non-official sites, I want to add that it is a document of copy/paste/edit-for-easy-read I created in my spare time. It is a very long document, so I do is recommended to use the search and find keys to find the email that you need, but the upper part of this definition has as to what the servers, ports and are host names and the basic setup in case you need to know what are these options and their meanings.

    Here are the most common settings needed to implement most of the Clients POP3/IMAP e-mail or devices:

    The following information below can be found at http://www.swestcom.com/Support/q4.htm

    "What is POP3?

    Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard messaging protocol used to receive e-mail from a remote server to a local e-mail client. POP3 allows you to download e-mail messages to your local computer and read them even when you're offline. »

    "What does IMAP mean?

    The Message IMAP (Internet Access) protocol is a messaging protocol that is used to access e-mail on a remote web server from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most common of messaging Internet protocols to retrieve emails. The two protocols are supported by all e-mail clients modern and web servers.

    "Main difference between IMAP and POP3:

    The POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox. On the other hand, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by several users. »

    "What is SMTP?

    SMTP simple Mail Transfer Protocol () is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. SMTP uses TCP port 25 or 2525 and sometimes you may have problems to send your messages in case your ISP has closed port 25 (How to check if port 25 is open?). To determine the SMTP server for a given domain name, the MX (Mail eXchange) should have more information."

    "When you set up:

    • POP - choose that POP-UP and the port entering the default server to 110
    • IMAP - choose IMAP and the port entering the server by default to 143
    • All other parameters are the same.
    • Username = [email protected]
    • Password = the password you set up when you set up your mailbox
    • = Incoming mail server mail.yourdomain.com
    • = Mail server outgoingsmtp.yourdomain.com
      • Outgoing requires the authentication of the server (typically found in the settings or advanced options)
      • Do NOT select "Log on using Secure Password Authentication".
      • Use the same username and password as incoming or select "use same settings as incoming.
      • Outgoing server port= 2525 or 587
        • It is subject to change according to individual preferences of your ISP.

    Note - Replace with your domain name for "yourdomain.com" and replace the first part of your e-mail address for "user".

    Email ports
    For networks, a port means endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here's the e-mail ports by default for:

    • POP3 - port 110
    • IMAP - port 143
    • SMTP - port 25
    • HTTP - port 80
    • (SSMTP) - port 465 secure SMTP Protocol
    • Secure IMAP (SSL IMAP4) - port 585
    • IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
    • Secure POP3 (POP) SSL - port 995.

    It is just to recap, a series of ports for people who need this information when you configure the HP ePrint app so that they could see their email from the app, I've collected over time.  I am sure that other applications also need this information.  Although long, I couldn't find a more complete place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information or other associates subject below that it is simply a collection of data and it would be virtually impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • What is the domain of the cookie?

    Hello
    In the cookie class there is a method to define the domain of the cookie. What is this area? It's what? What is the use of it?

    No, it isn't. the path control the subset of URLS for a given domain for which the cookie will be returned.

    about all of this is documented or linked to the javadoc:

  • Cross-domain and Flash Player 10

    Hello, I used the same file crossdomain.xml years. Now with the release of flash player 10 my application has stopped working. All my users on Flash player 9 work fine, but for some reason any 10 does not work.

    I have my swf on a domain and I get my data from another domain; always forced me to use crossdomain.xml file which worked perfect so far. I think I need to change something in the file I'm not sure what. I have attached the code that is in my current crossdomain.xml.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I think I understand my problem and I wanted to post here because I couldn't find any documentation on it. If someone does not know where the documentation on this is please reply with the url.

    Years, I had my crossdomain.xml file to:
    http://mydomain.com/data/crossdomain.XML

    It worked up to flash 10. A new security feature has been added (do not know what or why) and it stopped working. The solution? I had to add an another crossdomain.xml originally from my domain name:

    http://mydomain.com/crossdomain.XML

    Yet once again, I don't have documentation to support this place, but for some reason any, he worked.

    I hope this helps someone else who has this problem.

    During the closure after a browsing session I find several windows behind the window of the main browser I have not opened and they must be closed individually. What is the cause and how can I stop it? Edit

    These windows display ads? They could be 'pop-under' designed to show when you are finished with your main window. Orbitz has these, for example. Irritating. I'm not sure of the best solution, i.e., advertising blocker blocker vs.

    If they are not ads, can you think anyway that they are related to the sites you visit?

    In addition, to close a tab (or window, if there is only one tab), you can press Ctrl + w. could speed up the process of their release until you find a real solution.
