What's Your Computer's Name

[Mr Pilkington]

Apparently I held a gun to his head and foced him to do so. I dun know?

I guess John Q. Law is just out to fuck us all. It's kind of guilt by assiciation thing. My filters didn't pick up the activity, the site got up due to neglegence, therfore your old buddy Mr. Pilkington gets it the ass. It's justice, see. Besides when it's you pay $XX,XXX or $X,XXX and jail time or just simply shut down your smut-capitol, you say "crazy not supid."
Its all good. I'm staring down an opertunity to reopen for online orders only. Now that would be good! And This time with a 60/40 partner, that way I go down so does he!

Did you run the business, or were you a gear in the machine?

All this talk of modding makes me wonder if I could fit a PC in a model one Sega Genesis...AND preserve the ability to play Genesis games .

You indeed can. Computers are so small now...




Yes, it is a PC. Like a Java TINI board, except cube sized!

[Leanan]

I think I put in Lestat a long time ago. I don't really call my computer anything except "piece of crap".

Piece of crap? What you have is a supercomputer compared to mine...

Well my computer is ok. My power supply is shot, though. I'm too poor to buy a new one, though.

[VicBond007]

Right now, mine is Claire. My previous models were all named Rei, but they were all suicidal, so I figured it'd be best to change my naming scheme for my latest model ^_^()

[danielwang]

I used the DotNetGundam version of "NetInfo Manager" (I think) to set a network alias for the local DNS... I named my computer "localhost", ".localhost", "localhost." and "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa".


Net Info Manager sounds familiar, though,


That way, hopefully someone using one of those dumber Linux boxes will try to ssh into his "localhost", get my computer instead, and go insane thinking someone is messing with his box...

Why the f*ck is localhost going to 10.136.0.100 instead of 127.0.0.1? And when I try to nslookup resolve for 127.0.0.1 it ends up saying I'm "Zaku"? Someone has been messing with my box!
Though, when I change DNS servers to the one at OtherISP and set my domain there... it seems to be fine?

It's in the DNS, you moron.
Screenshots coming soon!


Microsoft Active Directory and DNS Server, unlike that "BIND" aka "BLIND" crap, will allow you to import zone files for the domain "in-addr.arpa". And it will allow you to register as 1.0.0.127 in that domain. Unlike Windows, Linux cannot be configured to set name resolution priorities on servers, so by default it will look up "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in the DNS server. Instead ofreplying with the requester's name, Active Directory DNS will reply with the name stored in the zone file, which is my PC. Ah, the wonders of Microsoft software!
