			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">It&#8217;s about time for an IP address upgrade, don&#8217;t you think?! Well, before I go any further, if you&#8217;re not sure, an IP address is a unique address that is assigned to a network device by the network. Every computer that connects to a network or the Internet is assigned an IP address. It basically allows that computer to communicate with the network or the Internet. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The current IP address standard, called IPv4, uses 32-bits, which looks something like this: 192.168.0.1. This IP address standard was created in 1981 when the Internet was just a baby. The early creators of the Internet did not believe it would become as large as it is today, especially since it was originally designed only for a few universities and the United States Government. Over time, many large corporations and even the U.S. Government have come to realize that there is a large need to switch over to a new IP standard. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The new version will be called <strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">IPv6</span></strong> and it will use 128-bits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> The IPv6 IP address looks something like this: 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7334.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">On August 2, 2005, the Federal Government of the United States issued a memorandum, stating that all Federal Government agencies will transition their network backbones to IPv6 by June 30, 2008. The IPv4 version only allows for four billion IP addresses, which greatly limits the number of devices that can be given a unique, globally routable location on the Internet. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The IPv4 standard has slowed the growth of the Internet worldwide and it constricts the amount of computers and other devices that can be connected to each other via the Internet. On the other hand, the IPv6 standard allows for an almost unlimited number of IP addresses. In all actuality, the IPv6 allows for over 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different addresses. (And no, I&#8217;m not kidding!) </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The movement from IPv4 to the new IPv6 will allow us users to have more technology in our lives, because we will now be able to assign more IP addresses to more devices. Soon, mobile phones, televisions and even toasters will be assigned IP addresses! Imagine this: you&#8217;re leaving work and you would like a hot cup of coffee when you arrive home. With the IPv6, you would be able to do much more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">This transition is not going to be easy or simple, it will require a lot of manpower professionals to get involved and oversee these projects. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered why when you are trying to bid on an otem on ebay and you are the highest bidder then all of a sudden you right before the auction ends, someone comes in and snatches it from you whether it is in the middle of the day or middle of the night, it just happens. The chances are, the person overbidding you is not really sitting in front of the computer, all what this person did is use a sniping program or a website service like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gixen.com/index.php?gixenlink=xahmed13x">Gixen </a>where you enter the ebay item number and the highest amount you are trying to bid and what the website service do is go out a few seconds before the auction ends and place the bid for you. This way you avoid getting into bidding war, you do not have to stick around the computer to find out make sure no one overbids you, and lastly, you bid like a pro.</p>
<p>We have evaluated different programs and website services that offer snipping services, truth told, the real nice one we liked was Gixen. It is a website service that is offered to the public for free and you can bid on as many items as you want. it uses SSL for encypting and securing the data transmission.</p>
<p>Other competitor websites and programs would charge you a fixed percentage of won items or insertion fees.</p>
<p> I have been using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gixen.com/index.php?gixenlink=xahmed13x">Gixen</a> for a few months and have been very pleased with the service therefore, have decided to share the wealth about this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gixen.com/index.php?gixenlink=xahmed13x">free ebay sniping website service</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people have encoutnered issues with the TOE on the Dell PowerEdge servers (especially the 2900) where it caused weird issues with networking components, most noticeable on VMware boxes and ISA servers.</p>
<p>A few days ago I had the same issue with our PowerEdge 2900 after I upgraded to the latest drivers and firmware, the server was running windows 2003 with SP2 loaded on it, once the server was rebooted, the host OS could not access the guest systems via UNC or RDP ( Remote Desktop) however I was able to ping the guest OS by IP and common name with no issues.</p>
<p>after researching the issue, I discovered, it is a problem with the Broadcom Network Cards, Windows 2003SP2 and the TOE (Tcpip Offload Engine)</p>
<p>I tired many different thigs except uninstalling the SP2 from the Host OS as it was not a fix for me (not good enough solution) so what I did was opened up the case and removed the TOE component which is like a little white adapter that plugs into the motherborad of the 2900 PowerEdge server. The connector itself is like a phone plug. I have attached a picture of the adapter.</p>
<p>To remove the TOE adapter, slide open the case, look in the center next to the CPU, there will be a white chip (looks like a one of those tranceievers) sticking out and labeled TOE 2) Just unplug it (you would unplug it just like how you unplug a phone from a phone jack).</p>
<p>Once I removed the TOE adapter from the server and powered it back on, everything worked like a charm. I phoned Dell and talked to their senior techs and they did elaborate that this was a problem they have been running into recenlty and this was the right fix.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you out. if it does please post to let me know.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="3" face="Arial">If you have a device running Good Messaging (formerly known as GoodLink) and it stops syncing, the first thing to do is make sure you have a data connection by attempting to go out to an internet site (such as <a href="http://www.google.com/">www.google.com</a>) from your device. If that doesn&#8217;t work, then contact your wireless provider, because your data connection is not available or you have no data coverage where you are. If you can get out to website, you probably just need to reset the Goodlink software.</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial"> Here are instructions for to reset your goodlink software on a treo or a PDA device:</font></p>
<ol>
<li><font size="3" face="Arial">On your wireless device, go into Good Preferences | About Good Mobile Messaging</font></li>
<li><font size="3" face="Arial">Type in “debug” without quotes. You will not see the text on the screen as you type, but it will open a hidden command prompt.</font></li>
<li><font size="3" face="Arial">When a command prompt window opens, type in “reprov” without quotes and press the enter key.</font></li>
<li><font size="3" face="Arial">You will be prompted that this will erase all data from the handheld. This only refers to data synced with the Good software. Type in “yes” without quotes and press the enter key.</font></li>
<li><font size="3" face="Arial">Your device will restart and the Good software will resync all of your emails/calendar/contacts/etc.</font></li>
</ol>
<p><font face="Arial">This usually does the trick and all should work like a charm. </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I remember back in the days when I had two or three favorite sites, but nowadays, with so many different topics, gadget news, website deals, and more, it is hard to keep visit all of them more often, this is where RSS comes to the rescue and offer you the ease of keeping up with all the sites in one simple application with highlights of each website&#8230; Not all website have RSS capability, but it is becoming more and more common.</p>
<p>There are two main ways to get the RSS feeds, the first way is through a web application (kind of like different Google Reader where you have to have your web browser open and logged in to your Google account, Yahoo, and MSN offer it too) or a desktop application where you can open it up like Microsoft Outlook&#8230; I have been through a few RSS readers and found Sharp Reader to be the best one out there due to its simplicity, new RSS notifications, and most of all, stability (the coolest thing, it is FREE).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many passwords, only a few can be remembered, the ones that are hard to remember usually are the ones that are seldom used. This is the case with my friend Jane who setup a password on her PST file a few months ago and now needed to get some emails out of it, the only problem is she could not open it as she did not know the password.</p>
<p>Thankfully, when she called me, I had the PST Recover Password utility available and was able to crack it open. It is a free utility, almost impossible to find one like it for free.</p>
