Internet Issues
There is currently a worm doing the rounds at the moment, which is impacting the performance of the internet around the world. The worm is designed to target known flaws in SQL Server, a database application produced by Microsoft. However, the worm scans so aggressively that it can actually affect the performance of your own internet experience. Those of you on broadband will probably be very likely targets and should look at blocking port 1434 on the UDP protocol if you have firewall functionality that supports specific settings. Otherwise, a general firewall such as McAfee Firewall or ZoneAlarm should do the trick. Those who do actually run SQL Server or MSDE (a desktop version of the server) should check they are patched as this is an exploit that has been known since July 2002.

A change in policy
Due to the amount of harassment I am getting on IRC from certain parties, I will no longer be conducting EH business over IRC. I am there to relax. If you contact me on IRC about EH business, I will ignore you. I will only be conducting EH business via email from now on.

New Training Board
We have a new Training Message board located here. Cadets are free to use this board to post any questions they may have about their training where I'm sure helpful members of the TC will respond.

EHCOC Website
inally I managed to get time to create a professional EHCOC Website. It can be found here. The Combat Manual is still the old version. There will be a new one with updated stuff soon. The Manual can be found here. Feel free to eMail me your comments. But be aware, not everything is working yet and the site is not fully finished. You also need at least Internet Explorer 6.0 or Netscape Navigator 7.0 to view the XML Scripts of the site. Please do not include this problem in a bug report!
