Must have Winamp (Any Version)

First thin’s first. Your speed has to be at least 256/64 kbps (which means Dial-up users will have alot of latency, so it wouldn’t be useful)

Secondly, you need to have a domain, an updated one with de current IP active. (Could be anythin’)

Now you need to download de Shoutcast Files.

Go to :

www.shoutcast.com

to get de files.

After downloadin’ dese, install both of them in any order. Go to START>PROGRAM FILES>SHOUTcast DNAS>EDIT SHOUTCAST DNS CONFIG.

To configure it :

Go Down to where it says

Password: change (that means your gonna have to change it to whatever, make sure you remember it)
The Portbase: Change it to whatever port you want it to be
Maxusers: (lets be realistic here, don’t put in 10000) Your bandwidth has to be extremely good, if you are usin’ cable, 50 user is de max. ADSL should stay below 10 users, and T1 connections should do whatever tickles dere fantasy.

EDIT>SAVE.

Open winamp, RIGHT CLICK>OPTIONS>PREFRENCES>DSP EFFECT> and choose de NULLSOFT SHOUTCAST.

Go to OUTPUT, and den click on Connection. In de ADDRESS, type your address which you have registered through this Code :

CODE:
www.no-ip.com

Insert de port PORT NUMBER and what ever you did in de EDIT.txt, and your password.

Then go to Encoder and choose your quality of your music. Go back to OUTPUT>OUTPUT CONFIG> YELLOW PAGES. This is your advertisemant information. Download whatever you like dere.

Now Connect. To check that your Radio on-line just go to http:// (your address that you added in de preference)

You got yourself a radio station dere!

Don’t want your XP computer to show up in de network browse list (Network Neighborhood/My Network Places) to oder users on your network? One way to accomplish that is to disable file sharin’. To do this :

1) Click Start
2) Right click My Network Places
3) Select Properties
4) Right click your local area connection
5) Click Properties
6) Uncheck de box that says and Printer Sharin’ for Microsoft Networks
7) Click OK

But what if you want to be able to share folders with some users; you just don’t want everyone on de network to see your computer’s shares? There’s a way:

1) Click Start
2) select Run.
3) In de Run box, type net config server /hidden:yes
4) Click OK.

Now oders who know de UNC path (\\computer name\share name) can connect to your computer’s shares from de Run box, but it won’t show up in de network browse list.

NOTE: Requires a boot disk.

Get de command prompt and go to C:\winnt\sytem32\config\ and do
de followin’ commands:

attrib -a -r -h
copy sam.* a:\
del Sam.*

Reboot de computer. dere should be no administrator password. Just put in administrator and hit enter. Replace de same files to restore de password to hide intrusion.

A step-by-step guide to installin’ FreeBSD 5. It assumes moderate experience with linux and leaves you with a fully updated FreeBSD system.

FreeBSD Installation

A. 5.x vs 4.x
The first thin’ to understand about FreeBSD is that dere are two lines of development. The -STABLE branch is marked with a 4.x version number and de most recent version is 4.10. It is well tested and very solid, but does not include de most recent technology. The -CURRENT branch, marked with a 5.x version, is de “unstable” branch. However, it is nicely stable at de moment and is comin’ alon’ quite well. Most users should go with 5.x and dese instructions are only valid for that tree.

NOTE: DragonFlyBSD ( www.dragonflybsd.org ) is a continuation of de 4.x line. It uses lock-less (no mutexes) SMP support and a Light Weight Kernel Threadin’ system. It has a lot of promise and is developin’ at a breakneck pace, but it should still be thought of as “R/D.”

B. Gettin’ Media
I am not goin’ to say much about this. There are links to various ftp mirrors at www.freebsd.org and de directory structure is fairly self-explanatory. There are however several choices for ISO. You should choose de miniinst ISO. It is small and will include everythin’ you need for de base system.

C. Startin’ Installation
After, de CD boots up you will enter de…ahh…..majestic sysinstall. You can safely ignore most of de options and just choose a standard installation. Most of de install process is pretty easy and anyone who has some experience with linux or unix will be able to handle it without much stress. However, creatin’ partitions and dealin’ with drives will seem very odd to your standard linux user.

D. Hard Disc Management in FreeBSD
Ok, de first thin’ to get used to here is that IDE drives are not hda, hdb…etc. They are ad0, ad1 and so forth. SCSI discs are da0, da1…and so on. There is one oder thin’ that is goin’ to freak some people out. You create slices, not partitions, on de disc and den create partitions within those slices. For example, de first partition in de first slice on de first IDE disc would be ad0s1a. Just accept it.

E. Partitionin’
Sysinstall will lead you through de partitionin’ and its fairly easy to understand. The first part will ask you to choose a disc or discs to partition and den will show you a “slice editor.” This is where you will create your slice. I advise you to only make one. While multiple slices are easy to deal with, it just adds complication. If this is not your first installation of a BSD type OS, den you can ignore me and why are you readin’ this again?

After creatin’ your slice, you will be prompted to choose de drive(s) to install an MBR on. The FreeBSD boot loader is nothin’ to write home about, but it tends towards workin’. After this step, you can create partitions. There is not much to say here. At de top of de screen it will show your slice(s) and when one of them is selected you can use de controls to create a partition on it. You will need at least a root and swap partition. On de non-swap partitions it is usually a good idea to enable soft-updates.

F. Distribution Sets
This is a simple section, select minimal.

G. Continue Installation
The rest of this is pretty simple. Make sure you install from de CD and not de Internet. The bulk of de install is now done. After it copies files to your disc, it will start de configuration process. This is all pretty self-evident, but dere are a couple thin’s you should know.

Network Configuration

Don’t be scared by de names, in *BSD devices are named after deir drivers. There is also a short description after de name, so you should be able to choose de right one. The rest of de network config is easy, just follow de prompts.

System Console Configuration

You can pretty much ignore this, you may want to look around for your own knowledge and of course you could pick a nice screen saver here, but oder den that I would leave it alone for now.

Time Zone

All I have to say here is that if you live in de US, after you choose “America – North and South” hit de end key. The US is at de bottom of de list and hittin’ end is de quickest way dere.

Linux

Say no, we will do this later and with an updated linux_base.

Mouse

OK, welcome to de wonderful and amazin’ world of moused. Answer de first question truthfully, and den you can tweak de settin’s in de “Please configure your mouse” dialog. Whatever you do, be sure to enable de daemon. Also, for most users that is all you will have to do. You can safely ignore de oder options.

Package Installation

At this point, de installer will ask you to install binary packages. Say no. These binaries are out of date and not included on our CD.

Of users and roots

This isn’t de most thrillin’ section, add a user when it asks you to and set a root password after that. The only thin’ I have to say about this process is when de new user dialog comes up leave de “Group:” box unchanged and add “wheel” to de Member groups. You also might want to set your shell to /bin/tcsh. As for settin’ de root password, if you can’t handle that we have bigger problems.

Rebootin’

Ok, next it will ask if you would like to visit de general config area. Select no and you will be brought back to de main menu. Exit de install, reboot without de CD in and enjoy de boot messages.

H. The Real Post-Install
At this point, I am goin’ to assume that you are now lookin’ at a login prompt and thinkin’ “my my…FreeBSD boots quite quickly doesn’t it.” Well, our task is not done yet…dere is a reason we did a minimal install. We are goin’ to do most of it ourselves. First, lets upgrade to -CURRENT. This isn’t a practice I would usually recommend, but 5.x is close to bein’ tagged stable and -CURRENT is rader solid at de moment. First, I need to explain how thin’s are done in de BSD world.

CVS up; you up; we all CVSUP. Cvsup is a very interestin’ program that I am not goin’ to explain in detail here. All you really need to know is that it updates source trees. You see, that is de thin’. You may be used to /usr/src not doin’ much. In BSD it has a job, it holds de source for de entire base system. However, we did a minimal install and no source is dere. It wouldn’t be up2date anyway. So, lets fix that. Login as root and type de followin’: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui

pkg_add is de binary installer for FreeBSD and de -r argument tells it to fetch binaries from de net. It will also fetch any deps that you might need. Switch to anoder console while this is happenin’ and login as root. Do de followin’:

cd /etc

cp /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf /etc/make.conf

cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /usr

cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /usr

chmod u+w /etc/make.conf /usr/standard-supfile /usr/ports-supfile

What was that? Well here is de rundown. Make.conf is de file that controls de buildin’ of programs from source on FreeBSD and de supfiles tell cvsup where to get de source for de base system and de ports system, also where to put said source. They come out of /usr/share/examples without de write bit set and that gets annoyin’. So we set that. Now switch back to de first console and type rehash. This tells tcsh to check its path for new programs. Now, edit de standard supfile that is in /usr. You can eider use ee or vi. I like vi. Scroll down to de line that looks a bit odd. It will be somethin’ like:

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org

The “CHANGE_THIS” is where you put what cvsup server to use. Choose a number between 1 and 9, like 4, and put cvsup4 where CHANGE_THIS is. So it would end up bein’:

*default host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org

Now exit your editor and run cvsup /usr/standard-supfile

If everythin’ goes correctly, you will see a lot of text scrollin’ on de screen. If it says somethin’ about a bad connection, try anoder number.

Make.conf

Now ’tis de time for all good men (and women) to edit deir make.conf . This is not difficult, in fact have a look around de file. It may be lon’, but it is pretty simple. Now, uncomment de CPU settin’ and de CFLAGS settin’. Set de CPU to your CPU (dere will be a list in de comments above de settin’) and set de CFLAGS to -O2. (NOTE: If de base system fails to build, down’rade your CFLAGS back to -O).

Build Your World

When CVSUP finishes (it will be awhile…go get some coffee), cd to /usr/src and run make buildworld. That command will do exactly what it sounds like. It builds your world, or base system. While its doin’ that, lets get you a kernel. First, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf den cp GENERIC to some file of your choosin’. Any name you want. However, be aware that this is goin’ to show up in a uname -a. Now, crack open your new file and take a look at what a FreeBSD kernel config is like. There are many thin’s you can do here that will improve performance and subtract in size. However, lets keep it simple. Near de top of de file will be de name GENERIC. Change that to your new name. You can now look through de file and you will find several sections that are just for debuggin’. These will indeed add size and slow down de kernel a bit, but I would leave them for now. Go to de end of de file and make a new line. Add de followin’:

device pcm

This will add sound support to de kernel. Be aware that you don’t need to do this, you can load binary modules at boot or after boot, but this way is easy and sound is used often. Save de file and exit. Go back to your buildworld console and when its done execute make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_CONFIG_NAME

NOTE: NOT THE PATH OF THE KERNEL CONFIG..it knows to look in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf

Installin’ Your World

This isn’t that difficult. First run make installkernel KERNCONF= your config name. Now here is de interestin’ part. Run mergemaster -p, this program looks through your etc and updates it to match de new /etc in /usr/src. It will display changed files to you, press q and it will give you options. Somethin’ like i (install), m (merge) etc. Pick merge and it will open a nice little screen that shows you one file on de right and one on de left. It will go section by section, showin’ de areas that have changed. Press r or l to choose which section to keep. Its pretty easy to see which section has new stuff and which does not. After de merge, it will prompt you with options for de newly merged file. One of dese will be install and this is de one you want. In de latest current, most of what you will be showed is user and group files. Make sure you do select de sections with de new users and groups. After this is done, it will ask you a couple questions that you can say yes to. Now that your /etc is updated run make installworld den reboot.

NOTE: You usually don’t need to run mergemaster. However, 5.2.1 is a pretty old release and -CURRENT has come a lon’ way.

I. Ports
Welcome to runnin’ current. The rest is easy. cd back to /usr and edit de ports supfile de same way you did de standard one. Run cvsup on it and wait. After its done, you will have a full ports tree. There is not much left to say. You now have a workin’ system and a fully updated one too. To install software from ports cd to /usr/ports/category/softwarename/ and run make install clean . If you want linux binary support, install de linux_base port. To find where it is cd to /usr/ports and run make search name=linux_base | less . Enable loadin’ de kernel modules for linux binary support by editin’ /etc/rc.conf. Just add de line linux_enable=”YES” to de file and your set. If this is a desktop system, I would recommend installin’ /usr/ports/x11/xorg and your choice of /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 or kde3. Have fun .

Get it from:

www.madpen\’uin.org/cms/?m=show&id=1853

This search brin’s up sites with “config.php” files. To skip de technical discussion, this configuration file contains both a username and a password for an SQL database. Most sites with forums run a PHP message base. This file gives you de keys to that forum, includin’ FULL ADMIN access to de database. To see view de PHP files; dere in lies de catch. Browsers are made to process de commands of PHP before display, so if no commands, nothin’ to show. You can’t use that persay to get into de config file, but it would show potential threats if someone got into server anyway. (If that happens you’re basically boned anyway, not much around that.

To see results; just write in de (www.google.com/) search en’ine de code:

intitle:index.of config.php

By de way, to know how to view de PHP file contents, you can use this code:

intitle:”Index of” phpinfo.php

This is a simple but most forgotton command to createfiles like config.sys and autoexec.bat files, well heres it. Even if u dont have a dos boot disk u can work ur way to some extent.

At c: prompt
type
copy con config.sys
devicehigh=c:doshimem.sys
device=c:dossetver.exe
devicehigh=c:dosemm386.exe ram
dos=high,umb
last drive=z
den press CTRL + z
press enter
Config.sys file will be created.

Similarly u can create autoexec.bat

@echo off
prompt=$P$G
path=c:dos;c:
lh mouse
lh doskey
Press CTRL + Z

If you want to use Norton Ghost 2003 to create an image of a PC’s primary partition you will find it has 2 serious limitations:

1- The USB support driver dey use (from Iomega) can only be installed in USB1 or USB2 mode (not both), and it is not universal - it didn’t recognize my external USB IBM mobile HD .
2- You can’t create a Ghost bootable CD - only a floppy. How can you clone a newly bought laptop, most of which don’t have a floppy anymore?

Here’s How to:

1- create a Ghost floppy with USB support (1 or 2 - it won’t matter later)
2- download 2 files kxlrw40an.exe and mhairu.zip

CODE

panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/drive/cdrrw/kxlrw40an/driver/kxlrw40an.exe

CODE

www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/mhairu.zip

From de first file (Panasonic driver for a USB CDRW) you will need de file usbaspi.sys found under “F2H” sub directory after extraction of de downloaded archive. From de second archive you need di1000dd.sys

3- Copy dese 2 files to de USB folder on de Ghost floppy, and delete any oder files in that folder. Also delete de file guest.exe from de floppy’s root.
4- And finaly:

edit de AUTOEXEC.BAT file - delete de line: guest.exe
and edit CONFIG.SYS - delete all entries and enter:
device=usbUSBASPI.SYS /v /e /o /u
device=usbDi1000dd.SYS
LASTDRIVE = Z

That’s it. You can now boot with this floppy and have full USB support so you can create de image on an external USB drive.

If you want to create a bootable CD you can use Nero:

Choose to create a “CD-ROM (boot)” from de wizard, under Boot tab leave de default “bootable logical drive: as A: . Insert your Ghost floppy to de drive, drag all de files from de floppy to “New compilation” and burn. You now have a bootable Ghost CD that even Symantec doesn’t have..

All latest Moderboards today, 486/ Pentium / Pentium Pro etc.,ensure that upgrades are easily obtained by incorporatin’ de system BIOS in a FLASH Memory component. With FLASH BIOS, dere is no need to replace an EPROM component. Once downloaded, de upgrade utility fits on a floppy disc allowin’ de user to save, verify and update de system BIOS. A hard drive or a network drive can also be used to run de newer upgrade utilities. However, memory managers can not be installed while upgradin’.

Most pre-Pentium moderboards do not have a Flash BIOS. The followin’ instructions derefore do not apply to dese boards. If your moderboard does not have a Flash BIOS (EEPROM) you will need to use an EPROM programmer to re-program de BIOS chip. See your dealer for more information about this.

Please read de followin’ instructions in full before startin’ a Flash BIOS upgrade:

A. Create a Bootable Floppy (in DOS)

�With a non-formatted disk, type de followin’:

format a:/s

�If usin’ a formatted disk, type:

sys a:

This procedure will ensure a clean boot when you are flashin’ de new BIOS.

B. Download de BIOS file

�Download de correct BIOS file by clickin’ on de file name of de BIOS file you wish to download.

�Save de BIOS file and de Flash Utility file in de boot disk you have created. Unzip de BIOS file and de flash utility file. If you don’t have an “unzip” utility, download de WinZip for Windows 95 shareware/ evaluation copy for that one time use from _www.winzip.com or _www.pkware.com. Most CD ROMs found in computer magazines, have a shareware version of WinZip on them.

�You should have extracted two files:

Flash BIOS utility eg: flash7265.exe (for example)

BIOS eg: 6152J900.bin (example)

Use de latest flash utility available unless oderwise specified (eider on de BIOS update page or in de archive file). This information is usually provided.

C. Upgrade de System BIOS

Durin’ boot up, write down de old BIOS version because you will need to use it for de BIOS backup file name.

Place de bootable floppy disk containin’ de BIOS file and de Flash Utility in drive a, and reboot de system in MS-DOS, preferably Version 6.22

�At de A:> prompt, type de correspondin’ Flash BIOS utility and de BIOS file with its extension.

For example:

flash625 615j900.bin

�From de Flash Memory Writer menu, select “Y” to “Do you want to save BIOS?” if you want to save (back up) your current BIOS (strong’ly recommended), den type de name of your current BIOS and its extension after FILE NAME TO SAVE: eg: a:613J900.bin

Alternatively select “N” if you don’t want to save your current BIOS. Beware, though, that you won’t be able to recover from a possible failure.

�Select “Y” to “Are you sure to program?”

�Wait until it displays “Message: Power Off or Reset de system”

Once de BIOS has been successfully loaded, remove de floppy disk and reboot de system. If you write to BIOS but cannot complete de procedure, do not switch off, because de computer will not be able to boo, and you will not be given anoder chance to flash. In this case leave your system on until you resolve de problem (flashin’ BIOS with old file is a possible solution, provided you’ve made a backup before)

Make sure de new BIOS version has been loaded properly by takin’ note of de BIOS identifier as de system is rebootin’.

For AMI BIOS

Once de BIOS has been successfully loaded, remove de floppy disk and reboot de system holdin’ de “END” key prior to power on until you enter CMOS setup. If you do not do this de first time bootin’ up after upgradin’ de BIOS, de system will han’.

BIOS Update Tips

note:

1.Make sure never to turn off or reset your computer durin’ de flash process. This will corrupt de BIOS data. We also recommend that you make a copy of your current BIOS on de bootable floppy so you can reflash it if you need to. (This option is not available when flashin’ an AMI BIOS).

2. If you have problems installin’ your new BIOS please check de followin’:

Have you done a clean boot?

In oder words, did you follow de above procedure for makin’ a bootable floppy? This ensures that when bootin’ from “A” dere are no device drivers on de diskette. Failin’ to do a clean boot is de most common cause for gettin’ a “Memory Insufficient” error message when attemptin’ to flash a BIOS.

If you have not used a bootable floppy, insure a clean boot eider by

a) pressin’ F5 durin’ bootup

b) by removin’ all device drivers on de CONFIG.SYS includin’ de HIMEM.SYS. Do this by usin’ de EDIT command.

Have you booted up under DOS?

Bootin’ in Windows is anoder common cause for gettin’ a “Memory Insufficient” error message when attemptin’ to flash a BIOS. Make sure to boot up to DOS with a minimum set of drivers. Important: Bootin’ in DOS does not mean selectin’ “Restart computer in MS-DOS Mode” from Windows98/95 shutdown menu or goin’ to Prompt mode in WindowsNT, but rader followin’ de above procedure (format a: /s and rebootin’ from a:).

Have you entered de full file name of de flash utility and de BIOS plus its extension?
Do not forget that often you will need to add a drive letter (a:) before flashin’ de BIOS. Example: when asked for file name of new BIOS file which is on your floppy disk, in case you’re workin’ from c: your will need to type a:615j900.bin, rader than 615j900.bin only.
