Hi Hong, 

For Win2k, go to properties, go to settings, click on ASCII setup.
Uncheck "local typed characters locally"

Hope this helps. 
 
Thank you and best regards, 

Kim Seng

Thank you so much for all your help.
When I telnet Cisco rouer IP address from dos prompt,
I can see the password as I typed.  

your "local echo" of hyperterminal may be turned on, 
That's true for hyperterminal.  (thanks)

Is there anyway you can turn off echo when you telnet
from dos prompt?

Thanks,

Hong


In addition, your "local echo" of hyperterminal may
be turned on, 
which would let you see the password or anything else
you typed.

Other than that, the PC moving slow is unlikely to
be an indication that you
were "hacked", especially if there are no unusual
processes running or
unusual ports open.  Note, if NMAP turned up ZERO
open ports, the scan
probably did not run properly or you have a
locked-down firewall (in which
case, getting hacked is very unlikely).

Hi, all

I think my workstation was hacked.  (windows 2000
professional) When I connect to the router
to do some configurations through hyperterminal and
I
can see the password on the screen, even with
encrypted password.  The pc was incredible slow.  I
tried netstat -na and did not see the suspicious
connection. Show processes and only see one
suspicious
"webcompserver.exe" 
(did not google this yet).  I tried to use nmap to
scan ports and shows all posts are closed.

Any idea or suggestions whether the pc was hacked?

Thanks in advance,

Hong
