The network brings convenience to the application, but also brings the danger, therefore, the management and the security becomes the very serious problem. Windows XP as a replacement for Windows 9x/me and Windows 2000, its support to the network has reached an unprecedented level, perhaps the busy work you have not fully discovered these useful features, below, let us one by one to show you, there are always some for you!
1, the installation of wireless network
When you insert a wireless network adapter into your computer, XP automatically pops up a "Connect to wireless Network" dialog box. Right-click the wireless network icon in the system bar and select "View available wireless network" From the pop-up menu, select the wireless connection you specified, and then click the "Connect" button. If you do not see this icon, type Control Panel/network connection in the Explorer or in the address bar of the folder window, and then right-click the wireless network connection icon.
2, SP2 system access to the network alert
Some users just installed SP2 asked why the FTP, QQ chat, QQ games, MSN Messenger login will pop-up "Windows Security Alert" prompt box? Are there any security implications of these procedures?
This is actually a problem caused by the increased Windows Firewall feature in SP2. Its use is somewhat similar to the famous "Skynet firewall", we must manually set the application's network access state. When Windows Firewall is in the "enabled (recommended) no exception" state, all packets will be blocked, this feature can better address the network attacks and malicious programs caused by the trouble.
Workaround: When using the application, click the Unblock button in the pop-up Windows Security Alert dialog box.
3. XP Selected Desktop Vulnerability solution
Windows XP provides remote Desktop functionality and is now proven to have design flaws that could lead to an attacker getting account information on the system's remote Desktop to help them further attack. When the connection is established, use Windows XP Remote Desktop to MINGWENFA the account name to the client connected to it. The account name that is sent is not necessarily the user account of the remote host, but the account name most often used by the client, and the sniffer program on the network may capture the account information.
Workaround: Download the appropriate patches to the Microsoft home page and temporarily stop using the Remote Desktop. Right-click My Computer, choose Properties, and in the pop-up window, select the "Remote" tab, tick off the "Allow users to connect to this computer remotely" check box before the hook, click "OK".
4, SP2 system access to the network when the image in the HTML file can not be displayed
Some users are reflected in the installation of SP2, sometimes in IE open HTML file, there will be an ActiveX error information, and the picture does not display correctly.
This problem may be caused by the enhanced security feature in SP2, which, by default, SP2 enable security policies that help users with their computers against malicious attacks.
Workaround: Open Registry Editor and enter the Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internetexplorer\main\featurecontrol\feature_ Localmachine_lockdown Branch, change the value of the "Iexplore.exe" and "Explorer.exe" two keys on the right side of the window to "0" and then restart Windows.

There is no problem with the computer! What would you think if you turned on the computer and found that you couldn't connect to the Internet? Do you suspect that the network is out of the question or that the local area network is faulty? Do you want to unplug the network card? Don't panic, a new network Diagnostics tool is added to the tools under Windows XP Accessories/System Tools/System information, and you can choose this feature to perform multiple tests to collect different information. Network Diagnostics allow you to see if your current system has network connectivity and whether your network-related programs and services are running, and so on. If we select the "Scan your system" item, we can make a network diagnosis of the current system. This scanning process does not take a long time, and then you can see a lot of information about Internet services, computer information, modems, and network adapters, and if you find any problems, the system will report faithfully to you (e.g. "Fail", "Not Configured", and so on), click the "+" number in front of a project, and you can see more detailed information.
If you want to configure the project for the diagnosis, you can click on the "Facilities scanning options" to customize the settings, these are simpler, I will not say more.
