Windows 2000 與 WPA

事緣公司入面有個位(windows 2000 機)個lan 頭壞左, 又唔想整條線, 所以是但搵左個usb wireless client (linksys wusb11)俾佢用.
但係公司既router 都set左 WPA,而個wireless client driver只係可以响windows xp 上面support WPA. 即係唔support windows 2000.

去到microsoft 度搵左一輪,俾我發現左

"Microsoft 尚不提供 WPA 支援，不過 Microsoft 以外的公司可能有提供。"

死得, linksys driver 唔support, 而windows 個度又話唔得

好彩俾我搵到原來mcafee 放左個wpa client 出黎,裝左之後部機就會support WPA.

Manage OS entries Tab: add windows legacy for xp-drive letter c:
Bootloader Tab: Click Apply at "Reinstall the Vista bootloader"
5. Make sure boot.ini, ntldr and ntdetect already at root drive c:
(can also copy from the xp cd folder I386)
6. Restart computer to see the dual boot menu.

Burn ISO in Windows XP, 2003 and even Vista

事緣今日想試下用部vista 既notebook去燒下cd, 諗住vista應該有built-in 既燒碟software. 搵左一輪發覺vista好似 xp 咁只可以 drag-n-drop d files 去個 writer drive 度, 之後就燒 而唔可以燒 iso.

google完之後竟然俾我發現左件好野, microsoft 有套叫 Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools 既筍野, 入面有好多command line既tools. 而我要用既就叫 cdburn.exe

用法如下:
C:> cdburn.exe D: C:\xxxxx.iso

如果你唔係一碌木, 你必定明白個command點用, cdburn.exe 之外仲有個dvdburn.exe 總之就正啦.

之後再講下點做ISO檔案

Remote X -- Windows' Clone

SeamlessRDP, a seamless windows implementation for rdesktop. SeamlessRDP makes it possible to run individual applications rather than a full desktop. In this mode, rdesktop creates a X11 window for each window on the server side. The remote applications can be moved, resized and restacked.

To start using SeamlessRDP, a few simple steps are required:

1. Get rdesktop 1.5.0 or later from http://www.rdesktop.org/.
2. Get the server side component, "seamlessrdpshell". It is available in the seamlessrdp CVS module. You can also download a pre-built binary from http://www.cendio.se/files/thinlinc/seamlessrdp/seamlessrdp.zip . Unpack the files to some directory on the server, such as c:\seamlessrdp.
3. Run rdesktop with:

rdesktop -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe notepad"
