All About Computer Tips

You may be wondering which external hard drive is the right interface for you, USB, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, eSATA or Ethernet?

I am going to give you a real basic understanding of the different uses for each interface and we're sure you'll know which is right for you when we're done.

Ethernet or Cat5/Cat6 is a standard method of connecting to a network. All of us plug our computers into our router or model using an Ethernet cable. In a similar fashion an Ethernet enabled external storage device plugs into a router using an Ethernet cable. Gigabit Ethernet (maximum 1000 Mb/s) allows you to transfer data extremely fast if you have a Gigabit capable network. Otherwise you will be forced to use whatever standard your network is running on, be it 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s. Either way, this is an excellent way to add NAS (Network Attached Storage) to your home or business infrastructure. You will plug your Ethernet NAS external storage device into your router and access it like a mini storage server. Keep all your music and data in one place and play it from any connected computer system on the network.

Can a firewall software block file and printer sharing on an ad hoc network? How to configure firewall to allow file and printer sharing in a home network?

Firewall software is designed to control access to/from a computer from/to a network or the Internet. This is done technically by opening and closing certain computer ports only to certain programs or computers. A full blown firewall software will provide protection for both incoming (inbound) and outgoing (outbound) connections and allow its user to customize many of its parameters.

This website provides an extensive list of step-by-step guides to create a direct computer connection or ad hoc network using several connection types, i.e. Ethernet, serial, parallel, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, IrDA, and FireWire. Readers have reported access problems in such an ad hoc network that can be attributed to the-not-properly-configured firewall software on one or both computers. Many just leave their firewall with its default setting which frequently hinders network access, specifically for file and printer sharing. However, the explanation about firewall configuration in this article also applies to an infrastructure-based network which consists of more than two computers and has a hub, switch, access point, or router to interconnect them.

Below is a Windows error message that pops up when a firewall blocks a network access. You may have noticed once during your network setup.

If you rely only on your Windows Firewall to protect your computer and don't have a third party firewall installed in your PC, the solution is very straightforward. By ticking "File and Printer Sharing" on the "Exceptions" tab, you can access all shared resources on your network provided other computers - in which the shared resources are stored - have been configured to allow file and printer sharing. To make sure that your related computer ports are only open to other computers in your home network, select "File and Printer Sharing", click "Edit". There you can find a list of service names and ports alongside their scopes. The scope can be any computer (including those on the Internet), internal network (those with the same subnet), or custom-defined by each computer IP address.

Steps to resolve USB Storage Device problem with Vista

1. In the run command (Start menu bar) type "regedit" to bring up the Registry Editor.

2. In Registry Editor, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

3. In the details pane, double-click DevicePath.

4. Add a semi-colon to end of the existing text, and then add the path to %SystemRoot%\System32. The result should be similar to: %SystemRoot%\inf;%SystemRoot%\System32

Do not remove the %SystemRoot%\inf file path from the DevicePath registry entry.

5. Click OK to save the new value, and then close Registry Editor.

6. Delete “INFCACH.1” FROM C:\Windows and C:\Windows\Inf Directories (if it exists)

7. Ensure that there is a copy of the usbstor.inf file in C:\Windows\Inf
If there isn’t – follow the below steps:

a) From another Vista system (copy it out of another Vista system and copy it directly into the C:\Windows\inf directory

OR

b) From the problem machine, run Command Prompt ( as administrator). From C:\ do a dir usbstor.inf /s . Wherever the file is found, go to that directory and copy all the files located in that directory to C:\Windows\inf directory

8. Open device manager, uninstall all unknown devices (right click, uninstall) so they all disappear from the list

9. Reboot the computer

10. Plug the device in (the drivers will now install and the device will be usable!)

There are plenty ways to faster internet. And know I'm going to discuss the SSH Tunneling Technique. What the hell is that??

Tunneling, or port forwarding, is a way to forward otherwise insecure TCP traffic through SSH Secure Shell for Workstations. You can secure for example POP3, SMTP and HTTP connections that would otherwise be insecure

SSH tunneling

An SSH tunnel is an encrypted tunnel created through an SSH protocol connection. SSH tunnels may be used to tunnel unencrypted traffic over a network through an encrypted channel. For example, Windows machines can share files using the SMB protocol, which is not encrypted. If you were to mount a Windows filesystem remotely through the Internet, someone snooping on the connection could see your files. To mount the Windows filesystem securely, you can establish an SSH tunnel that routes all SMB traffic to the remote fileserver through an encrypted channel. Even though the SMB protocol itself is unencrypted it is secure because it travels through the encrypted SSH channel.

To create an SSH tunnel, an SSH client is configured to forward a specified local port to a port on the remote machine. Once the SSH tunnel has been established, the user can connect to the specified local port to access the network service. The local port need not be the same as the remote port.

SSH tunnels provide a means to bypass firewalls that prohibit certain Internet services provided that outgoing connections are allowed. For example, an organization may prohibit a user from accessing Internet web pages (port 80) directly without passing through the organization's proxy filter which provides the organization a means of monitoring and controlling what the user sees through the web. The user may not wish to have their web traffic monitored or blocked by the organization's proxy filter. If a user is able to connect to an external SSH server, it is possible for them to create an SSH tunnel to forward a given port on their local machine to port 80 on a remote web server. To access the remote web server the user would point their browser to http://localhost/.

Some SSH clients support dynamic port forwarding that allows the user to create a SOCKS 4/5 proxy. The user can configure his/her applications to use their local SOCKS proxy server. This is more flexible than creating an SSH tunnel to a single port as previously described. With SOCKS the user is not limited to connecting only to a predefined remote port and server.

First You need an SSH Application Software.. You can use Putty..
This is an open source software. You're free to download from here.

Second, Move the Putty.exe file to c:\Windows

Third, Start->Run->type "putty -P 22 -N -D 9999 -C username@IP"
Without quote
You can use net as username with IP : cepat.abangadek.com
and 123 as password.

You can use other SSH server that offers free service. I'll tell you more later.

Fourth,
For Internet Explorer

• Open Internet Explorer,

• Tools->Options

• Click Connection tab

• Click LAN Settings

• Enable "use a proxy server" and Click Advanced

• In the Socks Column fill : localhost, with port 9999

• In the Exception Column("Do not use proxy server for address beginning with") fill with : 127.0.0.1;192.168.1.1/16

• Click Ok and close the dialog box

• Refresh the Internet Explorer. And you are free to go

For Mozilla Firefox

• Open it

Simply open the terminal or konsole
type : "ssh -o "CompressionLevel=9" -C -D 9999 -p 22 -N username@IP"
(without quote)
You can use net as username with IP : cepat.abangadek.com
and 123 as password.

And change the Browser Setting
For Mozilla Firefox

Wireless networks are helpful because they let you use your computer and connect to the Internet anywhere in your home or office. However, most wireless networks use a wireless router, which can be expensive. If you have more than one computer, you can set up a wireless network without buying a wireless router and save yourself some money.

In a traditional wireless network, a wireless router acts as a base station, much like the base station for cordless phones. All wireless communications go through the wireless router, allowing nearby computers to connect to the Internet or to each other.

Ad hoc wireless networks work more like walkie-talkies, because the computers communicate directly with each other. By enabling ICS or Internet Connection Sharing on one of the computers, you can share Internet access.

1.Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Internet-connected computer.
Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Internet-connected computer. You can skip this step if you don't need to access the Web.

2.Set up the ad hoc wireless network on the Internet-connected computer.
Set up the ad hoc wireless network on the Internet-connected computer.

3.Add your other computers to the wireless network.

Feeling confused about Movie Code and Screen Quality??
Now I tell you all about these movie code

CAM -
A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. A mini tripod is sometimes used, but a lot of the time this wont be possible, so the camera make shake. Also seating placement isn't always idle, and it might be filmed from an angle. If cropped properly, this is hard to tell unless there's text on the screen, but a lot of times these are left with triangular borders on the top and bottom of the screen. Sound is taken from the onboard microphone of the camera, and especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we're lucky, and the theater will be fairly empty and a fairly clear signal will be heard.

TELESYNC (TS) -
A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled.

Type rest of the post here

TELECINE (TC) -
A telecine machine copies the film digitally from the reels. Sound and picture should be very good, but due to the equipment involved and cost telecines are fairly uncommon. Generally the film will be in correct aspect ratio, although 4:3 telecines have existed. TC should not be confused with TimeCode , which is a visible counter on screen throughout the film.

SCREENER (SCR) -
A pre VHS tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a VHS tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (full screen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any serial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occurred, some looking better than others.

DVD-SCREENER (DVDscr) -
Same premise as a screener, but transferred off a DVD. Usually letterbox , but without the extras that a DVD retail would contain. The ticker is not usually in the black bars, and will disrupt the viewing. If the ripper has any skill, a DVDscr should be very good. Usually transferred to SVCD or DivX/XviD.


DVDRip -
A copy of the final released DVD. If possible this is released PRE retail again, should be excellent quality. DVDrips are released in SVCD and DivX/XviD.

High-definition (HD):
High-definition (HD) video generally refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, most commonly at display resolutions of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080i or 1080p). This article discusses the general concepts of high-definition video, as opposed to its specific applications in television broadcast (HDTV), video recording formats (HDCAM, HDCAM-SR, DVCPRO HD, D5 HD, XDCAM HD, HDV and AVCHD), the optical disc delivery system Blu-ray Disc and the video tape format D-VHS.
A common resolution used in HD Ready LCD TV panels is 1366 × 768 pixels instead of the ATSC Standard 1280 × 720 pixels. This is due to maximization of manufacturing yield and resolution of VGA, VRAM that comes with a 768 pixel format. Hence, LCD manufacturers adopt the 16:9 ratio compatible for the HD Ready 1080p standard. Nevertheless, every HDTV has an overscan processing chipset to fix resolution scaling and color rendering, e.g. LG XD Engine, Sony BRAVIA Engine. Only when viewing 1080i/1080p HD contents under HD Ready 1080p where there is true pixel-for-pixel reproduction, and for HD ready LCD TV, do some signals undergo a scaling process which results in a 3-5% loss of picture. Most HD-ready CRT TVs use 1080i resolution.
