Get More Out of your Router

If you have currently a Linksys or Buffalo router there is good news for you. You can easy tweak your router settings and get your current router to do more.
You first need to know if your router is supported.

For Linksys models it works with:
WRT54G, WRT54GS to ver 4, WRT54GL ver 1 to 1.1, WRT54GS
For Buffalo models it works with:
WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54

In Linksys you download the Tomato Firmware and do a firmware upgrade with the Tomato bin file.
In Buffalo it's tricky. You hold down the reset button and hand wire your computer to the router. Edit your TCP properties to 192.168.11.2 and mask 255.255.255.0 with the gateway to 192.168.11.1. Unplug the router power cable for a minute and the power up the router and run the wh4_intall.bat file in the Tomato archive.

Optimize Vista for Bitorrent & eMule

Microsoft did an update on Service Pak 2 to limit TCP connections. What this did was slowed down Bitorrent & eMule downloads.
With the new version of Vista it put greater restrictions so that the Vista Ultimate version has only 25 and the Vista Home edition with just 2.
If anyone wanted to speed up the download for Bitorrent & eMule they would have to seek online tutorials to undo the restrictions.

Here are the steps to optimize your downloads.

1. Download patched tcpip.sys: 64-bit tcpip.sys or 32-bit tcpip.sys.
2. Open command prompt, and run the following 2 commands:

takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys
cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys /G “username”:F

Replace username with the actual user name that is currently being used to log on.

3. Disable the TCP/IP Auto-Tuning feature by running the following command in command prompt:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable

4. For 64-bit Windows Vista (x64), the integrity checks need to be disabled as it needs all drivers to be signed. So run the following command in DOS prompt:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

5. Replace the tcpip.sys in C:\windows\system32\drivers folder with the patched tcpip.sys downloaded during step 1 (remember to use the correct x64 or x86 version. Normally this procedure can be done by simply logging into Windows Vista with an administrator account. However, if the process fails, reboot the computer and then press F8 to boot up in Safe Mode, and then copy and paste to overwrite the tcpip.sys.

6. Next, the maximum number of TCP half complete connection limit needs to be set in the registry. Open registry editor (regedit), and navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCALL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

7. Right click on the right pane, select “New”, then select “DWORD value”. Enter the new value name as “TcpNumConnections” (without quotes).

8. Double click on TcpNumConnections registry value, and modify the value data to the desired maximum TCP/IP connection limit that you want to allow, in decimal value. For example, enter 500 as the value data for TcpNumConnections. You can use any limit that you prefer. Alternatively, download this registry registration file that when executed, will set the TCP simultaneous connection limit to 16777214 (you can always modify the value in the file or in the registry after applied).

9. Restart computer.

Decrypt iTunes & WMA files

Link: QTFairUse6

For WMA you need a decrypting software known as FairUse4. You can find it on Google and install it. But you'll need a version of Windows Media player 9 or 10 for the program to work effectively. Windows Media 11 bypasses the decryption software.

Mobile Broadband Cards

If you currently have a laptop and searching for a broadband card. You'll have a difficult time guessing who has the best peak performance and perks.
If your a traveler, Cingular is the way to go. But for fast upload and download speeds in the U.S., Verizon should be your choice.
Besides the two year required service agreements, you have special rates if your a current subscriber or not. So make sure you read up on the broadband connect service costs. Cards for laptops will run you any where from $50.00 up to $100.00 and can have broadband limits. Verizon for example is changing it's unlimited plan name to limited because it prohibits file sharing.
I don't understand why buying a mobile broadband card should be so difficult.
Carriers should just keep everything standard and keep cost's across the board. What's the point on offering mobile broadband connections if you can't file share. File sharing is your business. I don't hear any complaints when someone goes over their plan minutes so why the sudden cap on mobile monthly limits.
But if you really want to be mobile. Mobile broadband cards are the way to go. I will just wait a little longer until the price drops and caps are removed so that mobile broadband can be my way of life.

IE Favorites Alpha Fix

How to have all your favorites in Alphabetical order using Internet Explorer.


Note:
Be careful editing your registry keys. If you delete the wrong one. You PC will not operate and you have to re-install Windows again loosing everything.



There are two ways to do this:

One is to delete the key in the Windows registry

1- Go to run type regedit and find this file and delete the order key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites

the new key is made and your favorites is in order.


2- copy/paste the following in notepad and make a program to do this.

Type in notepad :

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites]

then so that it is recognized as a registry key name it "NoMenuOrder.reg"
make sure it's in quotes otherwise notepad will make it a text file.
Now what this does is that it deletes the file in the Windows registry because it has a minus sign in the beginning of the file. And then it creates a new file order for your bookmarks.
This program can correct the bookmarks every time you update the list, by clicking on it.
