The Computer Problems Thread

Ok I'm back and picking up where I left off.

Beginning with coreshot.

Problem A:

We are talking about issuance of device cal's in terminal server no?

[Odin]

Ok, as far as issuance and reissuance and deactivation goes:

All of this happens through the Clearinghouse for microsoft. In other words.

Say I am in a 2003 mixed mode environment migrating my terminal server from 2000 to 2003. After going through the intial setup steps on my new terminal server I get my temporary licenses and now am ready to set up my cals on the new server.

I have to call the clearinghouse (# found through the licensing manager and going to activate and selecting telephone) and tell them that I want to deactivate my terminal server and move the cals to a new server. The will deactivate and then reissue your cals from your old server to the new one (via your involvment of course)

Here is a friendly white paper on the hand removal of a cal from a device by way of the registry BTW.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315262

1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit.exe, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing\ Store\
3. Delete the TS CAL key, probably LICENSE001.

NOTE: Typically, LICENSE000 is the license for the operating system and LICENSE001 is the TS CAL. To verify this information, check to see whether the ProductID value is present; this value indicates the license for the operating system.
4. When the client attempts to reconnect to the Terminal server, it will request a new TS CAL.
If deleting the LICENSE000 or LICENSE00x key to troubleshoot connection failures does not let a client connect to a Terminal server, back up the whole MSLICENSING key, and then delete the whole key. Try to connect to a Terminal server. This causes the generation of a new hardware ID. This enables the client to request a new license, and to successfully connect. The MSLICENSING key and all subkeys are recreated.

As Always extreme caution should be taken while modifying the registry and if at all possible use other methods before going to this solution.

I would ask Mssr Highman to comment here but he traisping aorund the us griswold style and would scarce comment pon yon term problems.

Coreshot if you would care to elucidate more upon what you have tried and further info on the problem I can give you more detail.

Is it that you are maxed on your licenses and need to transfer uno from computer a to computer b?

The espresso holder in my computer tries to put itself away before I finish my coffee.
This jams the holder and spills the coffee.
Is this a mafia conspiracy to enforce proper espresso drinking habits? Where can I change the timing?

TAKE YOUR COFFEE OUT OF THE CD DRIVE.

REPEAT

Coreshot:

In reply to problem B:

Let me know if this solves the problem.

Open up terminal manager and get it full screen in your console session (or if you are standing right at it)

Then instead of closing out via the handy X, use ACTIONS, exit.

THEN, open up terminal manager (it should open up full screen), MINIMIZE the window, and right click it on the toolbar and select close.

The next time you open up terminal manager, it should open up at the bottom only. if you reverse the steps above it should open full screen every time.

It's the old... my internet explorer doesn't open full screen trick.

Last night I was feeling a bit lonely, so I took my computer to bed with me.

Now my crotch itches, my asshole is sore, and my computer isn't speaking to me.

What can I do?

You should talk to FRL. I heard he is really Iceman.

[snow_slider]

Isn't everyone?

This is why I don't fuck things from taiwan.

I'm just saying.

[snow_slider]

This is why I don't fuck things from taiwan.

But they're cheaper and have more features.

Oh well, it could have been worse. It could have been an Apple....

Windows Firewall: Friend or Foe (definitly foe)

After the installation of SP2 to your machine you may notice the new features in the security center of Windows. Namely windows firewall. Now this may SEEM like a good idea, but there are many many drawbacks to running windows firewall. The difficulty communicating via ports on the internet. Running internet gaming, running services from your computer and on and on and on.

So You decide to turn it off..... right?

Well no go kemosabe. If you decide to turn off windows firewall it will automatically re-enable itself.

There is only one way to slay the beast. Turn it off completely at the services. For this exercise you will need a windows xp sp2 computer.

Step 1: Center yourself

Step 2: Empty your toxins (some suggest a barium enema or perhaps a nice chi cleansing) I suggest drinking a beer.

Step 3: Start, run, services.msc, ok button

Step 4: Find the Windows firewall and internet connection sharing service.

Step 5. Properties (or double click) Turn the service to disable and stop the service.

Step 6. Download those fetish pics of Georgette the goat like you wanted too in the first place.

I have an ad hoc 802.11b network of 2 win xp boxes, using ICS for a Sprint wireless connection to the tubes. Everything's working fine thus far.

Problem: I need to extend the range of that network to the neighbor's house.

Solutions?

I haven't done my share of research yet, but afaik plugging the WAP won't do the trick since that would break the ad hoc... Repeater? If so, how does that play with the rest of the devices? I have never worked with one...

[Free Range Lobster]

range extenders.

So I have downloaded some radio shows I want to put on cd and listen to on my ride to work. Problem is cd's only play like 80 minutes and the shows are like 94. Know any good programs for splitting mp3 files to put them on two cd's?
