Advanced XML filtering windows event viewer

Nice link here:

Contains stuff that helps narrow down event filtering on win server

      <QueryList>
           <Query Id="0">
              <Select Path="Security">
                 *[EventData[Data[@Name='SubjectUserName'] and (Data='test9')]]
               </Select>
           </Query>
      </QueryList>

Much better than usual limiting filters

Network issues and ping returns strange characters

Had some issues with computer not working correctly on the network. Could not ping NetBIOS name, so presumed it was a DNS issue.

Then whilst pinging ip address I noticed weird ascii characters were returned

I was led to doing another "netsh winsock reset catalog" command and this resolved it.
