GRC | Shields UP! -- Officially Unofficial ShieldsUP! FAQ
Drop to the Console (DOS Prompt) and type "netstat -a". If you need help interpreting the results, read some in the newsgroup. Also, you will probably see a lot of stuff here. Don't "panic-post." It's okay--relax. http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers Q. I followed the instructions on Steve's Network Bondage pages, but now my dial-up connection won't remember the password.

How do I find out what my machine's memory is being used for? How can I tell if I need more memory?

SunManagers Frequently Asked Questions
To discover how much virtual memory (i.e. swap) is free, run "swap -s" or "vmstat". If you're using tmpfs for /tmp, "df /tmp" will also work. Discovering how physical memory is being used can be more difficult, however. Memory pages that are not being used by processes are used as a sort of extended cache, storing pages of memory-mapped files for possible later use. The kernel keeps only a small set of pages free for short-term use, and frees up more on demand.

How can I tell if there's an attempted access to a non-public area of monitored machine?

VisualLookout Quickstart Guide
First if your machine is a private machine which most at-home systems are (i.e. your system is not a Web Server) then anyone visiting is unwelcome. If you do offer public services such as being a Web Server then you need to be aware of what ports are being used. A Web Server usually uses port 80. If you see an "established incoming" connection on another port then this should concern you. You should identify the port being used to validate the service is not a public service.

Q : How do I tell if my WW II period sword is traditionally made or a machine made sword?

How can I tell if my design is to big for my embroidery machine before I write it to the blank card?

How do I tell the machine where I fixtured the piece of material to be machined ?

DeskProto >> support >> DeskProto faq
This is in fact machine-dependant. Obviously the machine does not know where to start: you will have to tell by setting the workpiece zero point. DeskProto makes that easy by using the left-front-top corner of the material block as zero point. So on most machines you can just move your tool to that position and tell the machine to use that position as workpiece zero point. Please consult your machines manual or your dealer for more help on this subject.

Why don't you put a pressure gauge on the machine to tell me how much pressure is against the reel?

Hogg & Davis : Facility
There is no practical way to measure the pressure between the drive rollers and the reel flanges. A pressure gauge on the power unit cylinder is susceptible to false readings and therefore can become a safety problem. Any readings at the cylinder or extrapolations of such readings would vary from pull to pull depending on the cleanliness of the slide rails, the lubrication to the rails, the internal integrity of the cylinder and other factors that make it totally unreliable.
