Setting Up LAN using Cross Cable...

The steps below are only to set up TWO computers running Windows(XP-2-XP, 7-2-7, XP-2-7) using a cross cable / crossover cable...

Cross Cable / Crossover Cable...

First step of all, you should have a crossover cable, which is also known as cross cable... If you dont have one, dont worry, i will show you how to do, step-by-step... As I am writing this for home use, I am not going to arrange the colour codes according to the real one... Now, grab a network cable and cut the insulator skin two inch from the end of that network cable... Now, you can see eight small wires, twisted to form four twisted wires... If you see the twisted wires, they all are twisted in a pair and have the same colour codes... Green with White Green and Orange with White Orange... Now, untwist all the wires and place them so that they form a row without any gaps... Now arrange one end of the cable in this order : Blue, WBlue, Orange, WOrange, Green, WGreen, Brown, WBrown... After arranging it according to its order, cut the excess wires one inch from the insulator and make sure it is uniform in length... Then insert it into a RJ-45 connectors [the one more wider than normal telephone connectors] with the metal pins facing you... Insert it and make sure that the small wires stay in order and crimp it... In the other end, do the same thing, cut the insulator, untwist the small wires but arrange them in this order : Orange, WGreen, Blue, WOrange, Green, WBlue, Brown, WBrown... Then, follow the steps above n crimp them too...

Blue - Orange

White Blue - White Green

Orange - Blue

White Orange - White Orange

Green - Green

White Green - White Blue

Brown - Brown

White Brown - White Brown

Now, you've got a cross cable.. Its time to set up your computer to communicate to each other...

Communication Settings..

Install your cross cable between your two computers / laptops... Open Local Area Network Status window on both of the computers... Open Networking tab... Open "properties" of TCP/IPv4... Set up both of the computers so that it will look something like this :

I.P. Address - 192.168.0.1 on PC1 and 192.168.0.2 on PC 2

Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway - 192.168.0.3

Preferred DNS Server - 8.8.8.8

Alternate DNS Server - 8.8.4.4

Then, go to Control Panel, double click System find and change the workgroup name into "HOME" ...

Now, both of your computers are communicating... You can enjoy a LAN game by now...

File & Printer Sharing

If both of your computers are using Windows XP OS, go to Network Connections... Create a New Network Connection... Choose the right settings for your computer, and at last, enable file and printer sharing on both computers.... If one of your computer running WinXP and another Win7, do the same step for your WinXP computer... For Windows 7, Open Network and Sharing Center, click HomeGroup on the bottom left of the window, Click the link inside the yellow box and make your LAN Network as your Home Network... Enable File and Printer sharing... Open My Computer and navigate to Networks (bottom left)... You can see whatever files and printers you share at there... To share a file, simply click on the properties of a folder, click sharing tab, click on the "Share" button and click with who you want to share with... If you still have any questions to ask, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on this post... Thank You...

Piratebay at a Glance...

Downloading pirated software is a crime and the downloaders can be punished according to cyberlaw... That is why certain countries had blocked piratebay.org from being accesses by their citizen... But who wouldn't love free softwares.. One day, i came across this site called polysolve.com... This web is providing access to blocked websites across counrties... And yes.. You guessed it... piratebay.org also can be opened via this web... So, please spread your words to your friends to make their life easier... But from my view, we better buy the original one as the company who made it put lots of efforts on it... So, be rational... Thank you...

Games in Windows 7...

This trick can be used on any Oberon Media Games... Let me make you understand a bit about how this thing works... When you click on the shortcut of the game, it will open the Launch.exe which is located on the Game's Folder... This Launch.exe is the one which is keeping a track on the programs expiry time... What you have to do is just rename the Launch.exe into Launchy.exe... Then rename the game's application into Launch.exe... You are ready to go.... Now you can click on the normal shortcut to enjoy playing the game, for an unlimited time...

[ UPDATE ] : This option can be used on a new computers / laptops because Oberon Media Games had already provided an update for all Oberon Media Games which comes along with computers / laptops... The update will silently patch the game's executalbe file to automatically keeps a track on its time of usage... So, if you want to perform above trick... Please do it on a new computers / laptops... If it doesn't works, your computer's Oberon Media Games most probably have been updated...

It doesn't work on my computer, Acer updated it's games with a patch. The patch is still there even after I reset my laptop to factory defaults. So sorry guyz if above info does not solve your problem...

Logging into your profile with speed...

This step is quite simple... After you've logged in your profile, remove as many file folder, shortcuts or files that is in your desktop and reorganize it into another file folder... If possible, there should be only two icons in your desktop; Recycle bin and another folder which contains all these files that previously kept in your desktop... If you can, keep that folder in another hard disk drive and keep a shortcut of it on your desktop... Believe me, it will reduce the time needed to log in to your desktop...

Updated on  29 January 2012 :

Install this program - "Startup Delayer by r2 Studios". This program can delay the startup of some programs after you log in, resulting in a faster response rate of your computer. I installed this on both my laptop and my desktop. I can open windows media player and some folders right after logging in my profile. Always remember to configure how your "Startup Delayer" should work. Just give it a try, maybe it will perform more better on your computer...

How to speed up your pc...

You can speed up your pc without downloading and installing any utility programs... It's simple, just follow these easy steps... There are three built-in Windows utility programs you can use to speed up your pc... These programs are Disc Cleanup Utility, Check Disk Utility and Disk Defragmenter Utility... Well, to get the most from these, you should know how to use it in orders...

First of all, go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... A new window will appear... On the 'General' tab, you should see all of the basic information about that hard disc drive... You should notice that there is a small button(Disc Cleanup) at the 'Capacity' section... It will calculate the space that this utility will be able to free and this will take some time... After that, a new window will appear and check all of the checkboxes in the 'Files to delete:' section... After you checked all the checkboxes, you can click the 'OK' button(Be careful to not delete any data that you need. For safety precautions, you can view the files which is inside the Recycle Bin by clicking on the 'View Files' button under the 'Descriptions' section)... Then, a confirmation window will appear and you just need to press the 'OK'(Do this only if you want to perform this action)... Disc Cleanup Utility will clean any unnecessary files... This might take some time... After it deleted all the unnecessary files, the window will close automatically... Do this another time for the same hard disc drive... You can do this for all other hard disc drives you have...

The second step of this process is defragmenting your hard disc drives... You can navigate to Disc Defragmenter window by two ways... The first one is by Start Menu... Click Start\Control Panel\*Performance and Maintenance*\Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Storage\Disc Defragmenter... The second one is quite simple... Go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... Navigate to 'Tools' tab and under 'Defragmentation' section, click on 'Defragment Now...' button... A new window will appear and all you need to do now is click on 'Defragment' button... This process also take some time to complete... After it is done, you may defragment other hard disc drives...

The last step is the simplest one... Go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... Navigate to 'Tools' tab and under 'Error-checking' section, click on 'Check now...' button... A new window will appear... You should check the 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors' ... The above one is optional because the result will be same either you check or not... Then, click 'Start'... This process also a time consuming process...

Another altenative way to improve your pc speed is uninstalling any unused programs...

Give your Facebook a new look...

Boring with the same look of your Facebook??? Well, there's a way to make it look better... First of all, download Mozilla Firefox (it works in Google Chrome too)... After you completed this first step, it's time to get some add-ons... Go to 'Tools' in the menu bar and click 'Add-ons'... A new window will appear... In the window, navigate to 'Get Add-ons' type 'Stylish' in the search box... It will take some time to find that add-on, depending on the speed of your internet connection... The add-on will appear on that window and all you need to do is just click the 'Add to Firefox...' button... You are almost there... Now, restart the Mozilla Firefox and you will find a new button '[S]' on the bottom right corner of your browser... Now, log in to your Facebook account... Then, click on the [S] button and click on 'Find styles for this site... You will be redirected to another page (userstyles.org) where you can find a lot of styles for your Facebook account...

This style is visible to you only, not to the other facebook users, even your friends...
