3com Office Connect Wireless 11g

Have been wiggling with 3com Office connect wireless router which was on loan while my Dlink 2640T sent for warranty claim. Having some issues with the wireless and connectivity since first installed. It seems that the router managed to connect to the internet and wireless client also able to connect vie 40bit encryption with client mac address control.

However I experience that only domestic internet can get connected, any address that is International, it won’t show any pages. Had been wasted for a day today trying to solve this issue. Only tonite when I resetted the router to factory settings and remove the client mac address control I am able to browse the internet internationally.

Palestinian being bullied by the world!

What’s going on with the world? Why is it the american always backing up on Israeli. This is really double standard policy which adopted by the American.

This is the best and proudest policy backed by its people and around the world. The best part of it is the Arab country also is keeping their mouth shut.

All actions taken by Israeli’s are seems to be defensive, and what ever the Palestinian do is a terrorist act.

Wake up people! Please wake up! This must stop….

Acronis True Image 10.0 Home Edition

Had a preinstalled Acer Aspire One 150 and was not provided the recovery cd. This product is been provided a “Disk to Disk” recovery option by the manufacture. What I wanted t do is actually keep the original copy of the installation and reinstall a clean Window XP home on to the netbook to get rid of all the garbage application which came with the installation.

I use the Acronis True Image Home 10.0 edition and perform backup image on another external hard drive. Upon finishing the task I went ahead formating the drive and install the netbook. Once I started installing a message prompted me that the hard drive cannot be formated and had to end the installation.

I then boot up my system with the Acronis to restore the image copy which was saved earlier. Halfway restoring Acronis prompted that the archive is corrupted and the restored is incomplete. Both partition cannot be salvaged any more. What a disappointment I felt after all the hard work done prepping the system.

I sat down and try to recall what when wrong, and came to remember that I had made the backup image under maximum compression to save space and I didn’t validated the image is useable before formating my HDD. Luckily the image stii can be browse through and manage to copy the I386 folder and the oem* files from the C:/windows/../I386.

Look up the internet to read on how to recreate an OEM Window XP from a pre-installed systems, and from what I gather the easiest way is to use nLite. I read the nlite faq and guides, and go ahead with the process. I also slipstream IE7, SP3 and motherboard drivers on to the installation cd.

However, upon completing the installation my windows XP home still require me to activate my windows. I have read in some forums that OEMs installation should not have the activation process since it has been pre-registered. I have no choice and turn to Crack friend and stop the activation, (although I am the original user on the original netbook).

Moral of the story…. always check, confirm and validate your backups regularly before over writing or wiping of your HDD. To Acer, they should have included the recovery DVD on together with the hardware….

Windows Live Messenger Beta

I am ver frustated that Microsoft has disable the usage of MSN messenger 8.5. All new download of MSN messenger would be the latest which is the Live beta version. This version has a high requirement on resources and it will cluttered your screen once it logged in.

To whom is having larger screen should have no issue but if you are having netbook, this will definitely slows you down. Hoping Microsoft will do something that will enable the the msn messenger 8.5 again soon. The beta version is good, there’s a lot of enhancements such as the writer and etc, but it just kill the netbook.
