I hope this is posted in the right spot. I've been having issues with my Internet connectivity, I have no clue where to start or what's going on. I'm connected to WiFi and it shows I have Internet and connectivity, then randomly sometimes I'll try loading websites and it'll say can't load website or not connected, etc. Every time this issue occurs it shows strong signal and that I still have...

How to get rid of "Lock" symbol in folder Icons?
Some of my folders in Windows Explorer contain in the lower left corner a "lock" symbol.
See attached snapshot
What does that mean?
How do I get rid of this sub-symbol?
Simply it can NOT mean "this folder is shared" since I have many other Folders which are shared as well but do NOT have such a sub-symbol

Expert advice needed on DHT
So I asked this question (https://serverfault.com/questions/1036810/dht-port-with-a-vpn-ip-address) at serverfault.com and a bunch of morons down voted it for what I don't know. It's a straight up, honest question and I have done my reading on DHT at Wikipedia, but my suspicion lies in the fact the VPN provider may be leaking IP addresses via DHT especially since Shodan reports a lot of these IPs...

Solved cannot share printer to network any more
I have a Canon D450 printer, connected to my Windows 7 machine via USB.
In the past, I had no trouble sharing it onto the network.
Recently, I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional (both 64-bit).
For some reason, ever since then, I cannot share it onto our network; everything appears to be set properly, but my wife's Windows 10 machine simply does not see the printer...

It's been doing this for a few days, and I've not made any changes to the OS or old Netgear router recently....

Lost access to local network after using VPN program
This is a weird one for sure. Last month, I was testing a VPN program (Cisco QuickConnect) for a customer to make sure that their setup works. Ultimately, the test was semi-successful, and we ended up pointing them in a different direction for VPN, but I lost access to all network resources on my laptop's Ethernet interface after that experiment. Here are the specifics of the symptoms:
