Ever been caught without that rescue disk, thinking that everything was lost? Well, then, it's tomsrtbt to the rescue! Works with Linux and Windows, too! Read more here.

Last weekend, the auto-update on Windows XP completely corrupted the OS and the box went into a frenzy reboot cycle. There was no way to boot up in windows, even with a boot/rescue disk. I used "MandrakeMove", a complete OS on a single CD. This automatically recognized the Windows OS and mounted it to "/mnt/windows" and also recognized my external Iomega CD Writer. From this point on, I backed up everything from the home directory on Win OS, formatted and installed Linux...

On the XP box, you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing. This should be in your network connections, and probably in the properties of your Dial Up connection. Once this is done, then you need to make sure that both computers have network cards installed and working. After enabling ICS, it should set your Network card to a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 . This is a private IP (doesn't get routed over the internet) and is used for internal networks.

The next step is to configure your linux box. You need to have router or a share hub, but if you only have 2 computers and wanted to connect them up and share the internet connection, you need to use the twisted/cross cable to connect them up. Then configure the network information as follows:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (where x is any number between 2 and 254)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

The gateway is very important as it tells the linux how to find the route through to the internet.

If you're looking to block online site ads and offensive Web content, you don't need to buy special software. Instead, you can use the HOSTS file built into Windows.

Few web sites host their own banner ads. Typically they sign up with ad servers that deliver content and track views and clicks. Thus you can block most web site ads by blocking a fairly limited number of ad servers. HOSTS files can block web ads by blocking access to these ad servers. Similarly, you can also block other sites serving objectionable content.

What Is the HOSTS File?

Unless a computer is configured to use a proxy server, the HOSTS file is the first place a browser looks for an IP address when you type in a URL such as www.permutations.com. Only if the domain name is not found in the HOSTS file does the browser then query the DNS server. It is this fact that makes the HOSTS file an effective means for blocking web site ads.
