The Network Bottleneck

Bottleneck :-

The delay in transmission of data through the circuits of a computer's over a TCP/IP network. The delay typically occurs when a system's bandwidth cannot support the amount of information being relayed at the speed it is being processed. There are, however, many factors that can create a bottleneck in a system.

Bottlenecks affect network performance by slowing down the flow of information transmitted across networks. TCP/IP connections were originally designed to transmit only text files, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive transmissions such as high-resolution graphics has caused bottlenecks in the process; therefore, the data moves more slowly across networks

Network Balancing

Subnetting your network and putting multiple NICs in your servers will help to solve the bottleneck, but you must figure out how to split the network so that the load will be evenly distributed - one connection may be lying idle while the other is saturated.

Dynex Webcam Issue - Black screen

One of my project manager faced the black screen issue in dynex webcam.He asked me to solve this issue.I gooogle and find out the simple solution.The solution is below.

I know this camera has had a bit of a bad rap, but I'm here to clear all that up. After getting it set up right after some research, I found this webcam to be a nice & neat gadget. The video & picture qualities are somewhat more refined than the Microsoft VX-3000 (which I own as well). And the mic on the camerca works fine as long as the echoes are cleared out (which happens to all mics once in a while).

I strongly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a nice lil webcam with multi-functionality with a low price tag.

For direction on getting beyond the black screen:

I realized that 99% of customers (PC) have problems getting beyond the black screen so here's the step by step instruction on on to set your Dynex DX-DTCAM correctly.

1.) Without plugging in the webcam, install the driver directly from the CD-ROM
2.) Now plug in the webcam into the USB, and Windows will say "new device detected"
3.) Click the advanced option in wich you can choose the drivers folder. Then on the next window you click on the *manually choose* option.
4.) You will see the Dinex drivers appear, select it and install.

DO NOT UPDATE DRIVERS FROM THE DYNEX SUPPORT SITE. It's useless & will confuse the hardware.

CCNA NEW EXAM PATTERN

Previous CCNA exams were

CCNA composite : 640-801
INTRO : 640-821
ICND : 640-811

The above exams are valid only upto Nov 6 2007 and after that they will be removed and the below exams will come into affect.

ICND1 640-822
ICND2 640-816
CCNA Composite 640-802

In order to obtain your CCNA you can take and pass the ICND1 and ICND2 exams at $125 , or try for the CCNA Composite 640-802 exam at $150.

You can go with two exam approach or can simply go for one test approach as no body has actually proved that two test approach is easier and the chances or probability of your getting passed is reduced. So i think one test approach is the better one.

If already you are on your way of preparation, please take the old exam only as the content of the exam is much more easier. In the new exam/pattern new contents and new technology has been added so you may need more time for the preparation.

Here’s a short list of the new technologies covered:

Secure Device Manager
Virtual Private Networks
IPv6
2960 Switches
Lots of troubleshooting
Cisco Network Assistant
Advanced EIGRP and OSPF
Introduction to Wireless networks
More security

Remote Desktop Connection ( RDC ) Port Forwarding

Yesterday,I unable to access my remote desktop via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), I got an error message "Unable to find the remote server".

After that, i checked the both Remote Desktop properties and internet properties, but no luck.

Prevent Group Policy Settings from applying to administrator

Typically, if you want Group Policy to apply only to specific accounts (either user accounts, computer accounts, or both), you can put the accounts in an organizational unit and then apply Group Policy at that organizational unit level. However, there may be situations where you want to apply Group Policy to a whole domain, but you may not want those policy settings to also apply to administrator accounts or other specific users or groups. The following procedure can prevent Group Policy from applying to administrative accounts (or any other group or user account you specify) by editing the Access Control List (ACL) for the policy:

1.	Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
2.	In the left console tree, right-click the name of the domain where the policy is applied, and then click Properties.
3.	Click the Group Policy tab.
4.	Click the group policy object that you do not want to apply to administrators. By default, the only policy that is listed in the window is the Default Domain Policy.
5.	Click Properties, and then click the Security tab. If the group or user who you do not want policies to apply does not appear in the list, use the following procedure: a. Click Add. b. Click the domain where the account resides. c. Find the account, and then click it in the list. d. Click OK. Continue with the remaining steps.
6.	Click the administrators group (or other group or user) that you do not want the policy to apply to.
7.	In the Permissions windows, click to select the Deny check box for the Apply Group Policy permission. This prevents the group policy object from being accessed and applied to the selected group or user account.

Symanntec PCAnywhere - Unable to attach the specified Device

For the past two days, i had a problem with Symantec PCAnywhere remote connection.When i tried to connect the remote server, i received the following error message.

Then i verified the IP settings and PCAnywhere configuration in the both systems and it was everything correct, but the issue was not solved.

Finally, i checked the Router settings and i found the Symantec PCAnywhere Port forwarding was not done.Then i configured the port forwarding in our router.

After that, i was able to connect to the remote PC.

Can't able to open SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager

Today, i got a new compliant that SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager is not opening.When i try to open the SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager shortcut it prompts an error message.The message is

"MMC cannot open the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file."

Initially I tried to restart the SQL Server 2000 Agent service,but it failed, then again restarted all the SQL services, but it was useless. Then started to search out in Google with the error message. Finally I got a solution and implemented in the PC which made my SQL Server 2000 to work fine.

Steps to resolve the issue :-

1) Select Start - Run.
2) At the Open prompt enter: mmc
3) Click OK
4) Select File - Add/Remove Snap-in...
5) Click Add...
6) Select Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager
7) Click Add, then Close
8) Click Ok to return to the mmc.
9) Select File - Save As...
10) Delete or rename the original (offending) file out the way.
11) Save the new msc file as C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC

Now your original shortcut should work.

Still wondering what might have caused that file to get corrupted.

Setup Windows XP Backups & Scheduled Tasks

Recommended Backup Schedule:

* Four (4) days a week: Run a DAILY DIFFERENTIAL BACKUP. A DIFFERENTIAL backup will backup only those files that have been created or modified since your last NORMAL backup.
* One (1) day a week: Run a WEEKLY NORMAL BACKUP. A NORMAL Backup will backup ALL your selected files and mark them as backed up.

How long will backups take to run and what is the impact on my computer?

Daily differential backups will take a shorter time to run than your normal full backup since this backs up only modified and new files. Depending on how many files are involved this backup may only take a few minutes. You should be able to work normally on your computer, but may notice a slight slow down.

Weekly normal full backup will of course take longer since it backs up all your selected files and will hold more data. Again, how much data you have will determine how long. If you have 2GB or less of data the backup should take less than one hour. During this time you may notice a slow down in computer performance. So, you may want to schedule this during a time when you are not using your computer.

What is involved?

There are four (4) processes involved in setting up your backups. Repeat for all backups to be scheduled.

Love Your Job : Extract of Mr. Narayana Murthy's speech during mentor session

I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more. Some people do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only temporary. Other people I know have put these hours for years. I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are in the office this long. Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in overtime, working long hours over the long term is harmful to the person and to the organization. There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit. being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way for potential errors. my colleagues who are in the office long hours frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue.

Correcting these mistakes requires their time as well as the time and energy of others. I have seen people work Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 pm on Monday. another problem is that people who are in the office long hours are not pleasant company. They often complain about other people (who aren't working as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry. Other people avoid them. Such behavior poses problems, where work goes much better when people work together instead of avoiding one another. As managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office.

First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves on time. I work with a manager who chides people for working long hours. His words quickly lose their meaning when he sends these chiding groups e-mails with a time-stamp of 2 am, Sunday.
Second is to encourage people to put some balance in their lives.

For instance, here is a guideline I find helpful:
1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.
2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.
3) Go home.
4) Read the comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the dirt, play with your kids, etc
5) Eat well and sleep well. this is called recreating. doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2. working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts.

They are hard for some of us because that requires personal change. They are possible since we all have the power to choose to do them. in considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my eldest son. when he was a toddler, if people were visiting the apartment, he would not fall asleep, no matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of day it was. He would fight off sleep until the visitors left. It was as if he was afraid that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over tired and would scream through half the night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for his fear of missing out. perhaps some people put in such long hours because they don't want to miss anything when they leave the office. the trouble with this is that events will never stop happening. that is life!! Things happen 24 hours a day. allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical. so, take a nap. things will happen while you're asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up when you wake.

Hence "Love your job, but never fall in love with your company because you never know when company stops loving you... "

Windows 2003 IIS Server - Permission Error

Problem

If the Web based Install will not start and you have installed to Windows 2003 Server, an error like the one below can occur.

Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\acb\1a6d1ed3fe0f4362" is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\acb\1a6d1ed3fe0f4362" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

Solution

The Asp.Net user needs read/write permissions to this directory. This is the temp directory .net uses for the compiled files.

The default installation of .Net doesn't appear to give itself rights to a directory it needs.

In Windows Server 2003, the ASPNET account does not exist. ASP.NET in IIS6 uses the "NETWORK SERVICE" account instead. Add the permissions using that account, as directed in the error message text posted below.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Outlook PST Size Limits

That old version is compatible with prior Outlook versions 97-2002 and its maximum size limit is 1.933 GB. If so, you better create the new 2003 PST file format which permits up to 20 GB of storage!

How to display html code in blog post

Suppose you are writing a article which includes HTML code and that code you want to share with rest of the world. But displaying HTML Code on a webpage is not easy because the browser tends to interpret the HTML tags instead of displaying them. It will be simple to understand the reason behind it if we know how does the browser know something is an HTML tag? Browser looks for opening and closing brackets that starts and ends a tag. So those brackets (i.e. < & >) are the key. Now it is obvious that if we change those starting and ending brackets sign with something else, our problem will be solved.

Solution:

1. Replace < (i.e. less than sign) with &lt;

2. Replace > (i.e. greater than sign) with &gt;

3. Replace “ (i.e. quote mark) with &quot;

Example:

We want to display the code below on our webpage –

<a href=http://topaix.blogspot.com/>Digital Knowledge Center</a>

We would replace <> sign with &lt; and &gt; respectively. The result will look like this –

<a href=http://topaix.blogspot.com/>Digital Knowledge Center</a>

Making links in a Blogger Beta link list open in new window

In Blogger Beta, if you add a Link List, the links created open in the same folder by default.

Here is how you can make links open in new windows/tabs. Sign into Dashboard, for the relvant blog, click LAYOUT, then EDIT TEMPLATE. Check EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES. Look for this block of codes:


<b:widget id='LinkList1' locked='false' title='Blogger Resources' type='LinkList'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'><h2><data:title/></h2></b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<ul>
<div id='link'>
<b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target' ><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</div>
</ul>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>



Look particularly for this code:
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target' ><data:link.name/></a>

Replace it with
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target'target="_blank"><data:link.name/></a> //in other words, add target="_blank" after expr:href='data:link.target'. Make sure there is a space between them (see update).

Save template and check that the links actually open in a new window. This has been done for this blog. Try clicking on the links in the link lists (Blogger Resources) and confirm that they actually open in a new window/tab.

Note: As always, whenever you make changes to the template, backup the current template first.

UPDATE: 2 person commented of problems executing this hack. Read the comments. I retested it for this blog Good Health Information and confirmed the hack work. Check for yourself. The link list is titled "Blogger Resources" and is the second last in the right sidebar. Click on the links and confirm for yourself that they open in new windows/tabs. Just a note. Make sure that there is a space between
expr:href='data:link.target'
and
target="_blank".

CCNA FAQ

Attention Test Takers in China, Hong Kong, India, and Pakistan

Q. Why is the enhanced test center network being introduced?
A: The enhanced test center network is designed to begin introducing additional technologies and processes to safeguard the value of Cisco certifications in the IT professional marketplace. Focusing on security, the new test centers will employ advanced security technologies and newly refined procedures. The desired outcome is to protect the integrity and value of Cisco's certification for the certification holders, which will also increase demand for Cisco training. Test centers will be centrally located and will be operated by Prometric personnel.

Q. When will this change take effect?
A. May 1,2007

Q. I have candidates already registered to test after the effective date, can I administer the exam?
A. If the test is registered under Prometric's system, kindly facilitate rescheduling or refer the candidates to Prometric and have the candidate scheduled to take the exam at a site in the enhanced Prometric-operated test center network.

New registrations for exams to be taken with Pearson VUE will close on May 1. After the introductory period, the features of the enhanced test center network in China, Hong Kong, India and Pakistan may or may not become permanent features at Pearson VUE and Prometric locations

After April 30, please direct the candidate to take the exam at a site in the enhanced Prometric test center network.

Q. I have already purchased Cisco test vouchers. Can I still use the voucher to test?
A. Yes, if the test voucher was issued by Prometric, has not previously been redeemed, and is not expired. Standard terms and conditions apply.

You may administer the exam if candidate requested test date is before the date of the effective change.

If test date is on or after date of the effective change, kindly refer the candidate to Prometric to reschedule their exam.

If the test voucher is from VUE, it will have to be replaced by a Prometric voucher.

Q. I am a VUE site and some of my customers have VUE vouchers. Can the VUE voucher be used at a Prometric Testing Center?
A. No, but it can be exchanged for a Prometric voucher. Prometric's voucher team will receive and verify vouchers issued by VUE and will provide a replacement which can be redeemed at Prometric.

VUE vouchers will continue to be honored for Cisco exams at locations outside of these four countries.

Q. How should my students register for Cisco exams after the change?
A. Option 1: Online. www.prometric.com.

Option 2: Voucher. Either through you or through the applicable contact (see bullets below), your student should contact Prometric at the email address below. After the student has purchased the voucher, he/she can log on to www.prometric.com and schedule to take the examination at the nearest applicable Prometric Testing Center.

Option 3: Walk-in. Your students can visit a Prometric Test Center to schedule a test.

Q. Where can I find the location details of applicable Prometric Test Centers?
A. You can find a complete list through the Prometric web site (see bullets below) via the Test Center Locator function.

Alternatively, you can also call your local Prometric registration staff to identify a suitable location and directions while securing a testing appointment.

Q: What certification exams will be offered at the enhanced test center network sites in China, Hong Kong, India, and Pakistan?
A: All Cisco CCIE written, CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, CCIP, CCSP, CCVP, and all specialist level certification exams are included. CCIE lab exams will not be offered in the enhanced test center network. To register for a CCIE lab exam, please go to www.cisco.com/go/certifications.

Q. Are the exams that will be used during the study different from exams offered in other regions?
A. No, they are the same Cisco exams that are offered worldwide.

Q. Will there be a change in test centers outside of these four countries?
A. Cisco continues to partner with both Pearson VUE and Prometric. Outside of these four countries all test centers locations for both networks will continue to be available.

Q. How will my business process and contract terms change with Prometric for Cisco testing program?
A. There is no change in APTC Operating Agreement for Authorized Prometric Testing Centers. However, your Testing Center will no longer be able to schedule CISCO exams. Instead, you have an opportunity to earn revenue by purchasing CISCO vouchers at a discounted rate (depending on the quantity purchased), and re-selling them to your candidates at the full, published retail CISCO price while assisting candidates in providing Cisco training.

Q: Will Pearson VUE still offer Cisco exams outside the four countries?
A: Cisco continues to partner with both Pearson VUE and Prometric outside of these four countries. Test center locations for both networks will continue to be available for Cisco exams.
