Have Multiple IP address on single LAN card

Hi all,

Lets consider a scenario. Your ISP is providing you a LAN facility. But the LAN is divided into 2 or more sub networks... Now by the principle of network, we can communicate to only those users who have the same Network ID. But at the same time you want to communicate to all the users on your network...

For this purpose you need have multiple IP addresses on your LAN card... so for windows users the trick goes as follows.. Dont worry, its not a hack but its legal. :)

Step 1: Go to Network and Sharing Center and then click on Manage Network Connections

Step 2: Right Click on Local Area Connection and click on properties

Step 3: Single click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on properties

Step 4: Now click on Advanced and add the new ip addresses which you want

Step 5: Thats it :) now click on OK and Open the Command Prompt

Step 6: Now type ipconfig... you will see that your LAN card adapter has multiple IP addresses and your would be able to ping your friends in other network

So Enjoy ur LAN and Have fun!!!

Step 1: Boot from the DVD and Press F8

Step 2: Now try cpus=1 -v ; cpus=1 indicates referring to the core 1 of your CPU and -v means verbose

Step 3: Now when the installation screen appears, click on Utilities and then go to disk utility

Step 4: Now Format the partition as Mac Extended Journaled, note: Make sure that you create a partition using Windows, else you wont be able to see the free space in mac..

Step 5: Now select the partition which you have created.. make sure you dont create 2 Partitions with filesystem as Mac Extended Journaled

Step 6: Click on Customize the check those which are mentioned below:

Step 7: Now let the Mac OS X get installed on your system

Step 8: Once the Mac OS is installed... your system will reboot... now again set the boot parameter as cpus=1 -v -x; where -x stand for safe mode.. This because ATI Mobility HD 3670 is not supported by Mac OS...so might see a scrambled screen on normal boot...

PC Running But No Display On The Screen

There might be many cases in which you see that your PC or Computer is starting... There are led light which are lit and blinking... but you don't see any display on your screen....

At the same time your Monitor or LCD is showing a blinking Green Light...

This scenario means that, there is nothing wrong with your Monitor, since the led is green..

Now the problem lies inside you chassis... though you may think that, since all the lights are lit and the CPU fan is running, my system is prefectly fine and there is some issue with the monitor or its connectivity...

But the real problem lies in the RAM (Random Access Memory)

So what i will recommend you this that, power off your system... remove the RAM modules... use an eraser to clean the base pins... so that the carbon accumulated will be wiped off...

Now insert the memory modules back again...

Now start your LOVELY Computer

Hurry!!! The Display will be there on your screen... :P
