To download some opensource code behind the office firewalls I am exporting the Proxy like this export http_proxy=http://username:passwdatXYZ.com:portnumber export https_proxy=http://username:passwdatXYZ.com:portnumber export HTTP_PROXY=://username:passwdatXYZ.com:portnumber export HTTPS_PROXY=://username:passwdatXYZ.com:portnumber How do I know wether my this export with the above password and login is correct or not or working or not!

We want to use Cisco NAC and need to check if client Desktop has a firewall installed. This may be not the default Windows Firewall. Is there some Windows registry key that can be checked? For non-Windows firewalls, you can use WMI API to detect the presence of a firewall if it's registered with Windows. Namespace = "Root\SecurityCenter2" (might be "Root\SecurityCenter" on pre-vista) Query = "SELECT * From FirewallProduct" And you can use this little gem to detect if it's actually on or off. For Windows Firewall detection, it's INetFwMgr and friends. Maybe just check if you can establish

When I type in "git push heroku master" I get an error that says: ssh: Could not resolve hostname heroku.com: nodename nor servname provided, or not known I am on my computer at work and I believe this problem has to do with proxies/firewall. Does anybody know of a way around this error in the command line? Or any other type of fix? Thanks. try ssh'ing directly to heroku from your command line ssh git@heroku.com -T if you don't get a response ! You can only access Heroku by ssh via git push and pull commands. then it's connectivety issue or a firewall in the way that's blocking your requests.

Anybody know how to programmatically add an IP address to a Server 2008 Windows Firewall with Advanced Security rule? i.e. I've setup a Block Action firewall rule which has some IP addresses listed under the "Remote IP address" section of the Scope.

I've been trying to fix a weird 403 Forbidden error I get when I try to go to one of my pages via WAMP on the localhost. After adding a rule to open up port 80 via Windows Firewall, which apache uses, I notice that this does NOT fix my problem and instead gives me a 403 forbidden for ALL my pages via localhost. Removing the rule I just made (which caused this to begin with) does not fix it. Disabling Windows Firewall does not fix it. Restarting my computer does not fix it. Any ideas? EDIT2: I AM able to go to localhost/phpmyadmin for whatever that's worth. EDIT3: The contents of my httpd.conf:
