Enable ping on Windows Server 2008 On February 12, 2010, in  Article , by Luis Ventura Bydefault Microsoft disables Ping on the Windows platform, probably has an added security measure. However Ping maybe needed for testing or monitoring purposes. The process to allow Windows Server to respond to Pings is minimal, requiring minimal changes to the Windows firewall. Go to  Start  >  Administrative Tools  > Windows Firewall with Added Security On the sidebar look for  Inbound Rules  >  File and Print Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-IN)  > right click on  Enable Rule The rule has now been enabled and the server will respond to Pings. If you wish to later disable ping all you have to do is right click on the rule and select > Disable Rule

Introduction In the past when you needed to resize a partition in Windows you had to use a 3rd party utility such as  Partition  Magic , Disk Director, or open source utilities such as Gparted and Ranish Partition Manager. These 3rd party programs, though, are no longer needed when using Windows Vista as Vista has partition, or volume, resizing functionality built directly into the Vista Disk Management utility.You may be wondering why someone would want to resize a Windows volume. One reason would be if you want to install another operating system such as linux, but do not have enough free space to create a new partition for it. By shrinking  the  Windows  volume, you can free up enough space to create a new partition that can be used to dual boot into linux. Now lets say after trying linux, you decide its not for you. Now you are left with all this leftover space that is not being used by Windows. To reuse this space, you simply need to expand, or extend as Vista calls it,

Hi All, Here I am explaining you about Samba Server Installation and configuration . Samba server will helps us to share the files between Linux and Windows Computers. Step 1 : Package : Samba*              Port       :  445 Step 2 : yum install samba* -y (if any issues with your yum repository use yum install samba* --skip-broken -y) Step 3 : Configuration file : /etc/samba/smb.conf Step 4 :  chkconfig smb on By default it will start the smb service in the 3 4 & 5 run levels.

I have a built-in bluetooth in my laptop and a bluetooth dongle in my desktop. Both now work with my iphone and other bluetooth headsets. Here's what you need to do : - Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' ( current version is 6.1 ) which you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx this works for both Vista and Windows 7. I've tried it on both. - Install the downloaded software but it may not look like it worked on Windows 7 PCs. Vista automatically configures the settings on the bluetooth devices but for those who have Windows 7, here are the things you should do: - Go to 'Device Manager' from 'Control Panel' -Or- just right-click on Computer Icon and choose 'Properties' and then click on 'Device Manager'. - You'll see an 'Unknown Device' named 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device' - Right-Click it and click on "Update Driver Software"
