Well slap my thigh!

Step 1. Setup authentication info (credit to chatchavan ) Now, you should check what type of authentication your network use. Personal:  Typical home router require one password to connect. (Keywords: WPA, WPA2) Enterprise:  If you use the enterprise network, e.g.,  eduroam  at the university, you will have user name and password. (Keywords: PEAP, MSCHAPV2) For security reason, we will create a hash of your password. This hash will be used in the configuration file for the authentication info. This avoids saving your password in plain text. At the command prompt create a MD4 hash of one of your password by entering the following command, typing your password and pressing enter: (read -s PASS && echo -n $PASS | iconv -t utf16le | openssl md4 > hash.txt) This will create a file called hash.txt within this you will see something like: (stdin)= c612f89cd9678868a69e93beecfa10b6 You will need the bit after the equals sign. Now you can add prop

After migrating to Windows 10 one of the many issues I came across was being unable to map windows 10 to one of my ubuntu samba shares with \\hostname or a \\fqdn ( it was returning system error 64 has occurred and specified network name no longer available) I found a fix by doing the following: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy Under Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options Set "Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)" to "Disabled" Restart the computer For reference: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-April/162201.html Unfortuantley whilst fixing one issue it highlighted another and that was not being able to communicate with one of my windows servers obviously requiring digital signing. The root of the issue is that I am running Samba version 3.6.25, so I will update this to at least 4.3.11 as I know this works as per another Ubunt

This is to help anyone having problems with the initial ASDM download that according to Cisco should happen straight out the box, well as with a lot of Cisco's equipment it isn't always as friendly as the documentation says. My particular problem occurred with version was ASA Version 8.6(1)2 and ASDM 6.6(1) I tried with three machines Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP only the windows XP machine worked, atleast I knew at that point there is hope.  I noticed that when connecting via the windows 7 box I would sometimes get the error message:  Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap) At this point I had a good search around the internet and managed to find the following line of code in a forum: ssl encryption rc4-md5 rc4-sha1 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 3des-sha1 After this was entered at the conf t prompt everything worked as it should. I can only put this down to late

I wanted to use Thunderbird portable on multiple machines but synchronize all machines. I use Microsoft's live snyc. this worked well until I started getting duplicate mail boxes! To resolve this I have to do two things 1)install Remove Duplicate Messages 0.1.07 not the alternative version.. this didn't seem to work for me. 2)go into Thunderbird and copy all messages from the duplicate folder into the main folder and then just to make sure you don't get mixed up, copy all combined messages into the duplicate folder the desired result would now be to have two folders with exactly the same messages in. 3)repeat this step for in boxes, sent and trash if so desired 4)right click each of the mailboxes and run "remove duplicates" continue this through all folders 5) the final step close Thunderbird and open the following \Data\profile\Mail\ your mail box name can be found by right clicking your inbox and selecting properties you should see something like mailbox:/// /D

quite simply go to Microsoft Web Platform Installer http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx this is more for my notes as I forget easily

I spent in the region of 5 hours on this one! admittley I was trying every method under the sun be it perl, php, javascript jquery.. anyways I found a very simple method that works 1)go to http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net and create a form, add a page then click on page one and start creating your fields, once you have done this and filled in all the other bits and bobs download the zip folder. 2)Open up the file processor.php and put the following line at the top of script, just under < ? php ini_set ("sendmail_from","webmaster@MyWebSite.com"); 3)Save the file :) and upload the contents to your website content folder and navigate to the www.yoursite.com/form.html file from a browser. Hopefully you should be up and running.
