Scoilnet down :-(
After checking my logs, I decide to close Scoilnet for the day. Sad because I feel useless against such denial attack.
I am not sure if it's related to the Mydoom story (well I didn't know I was famous as Microsoft or SCO;-)), but the imbeciles behind this forced me to shutdown the site for today.
The log entries increased by a factor 3 in less than an hour so unfortunatly it doesn't let me other choices.

Folder permissions in Windows 2003
Is there something special in the security approach in Windows 2003 ?
I have really a painful experience with this OS on one server with folder permissions. What I want to do is a really basic thing, an upload folder where users can upload their images.
Works fine on my laptop with WinXP, but there, not a chance. I really tried everything, including giving full control permissions to Everyone on this folder.
I know it's not the best practice, but I can't figure out why it's still not working. The only thing I have 'special' is that the website itself is not under wwwroot, like I usually do in production sites.
Any idea ? -

Dispose and close or close without dispose
I just finished reading the comments on Rory's last post. And well I can admit I am confused.
The comments posted there make me think that nothing is absolute in the way you can deal with .Net coding. That sounds strange. -
