• Go to the Start Menu, type cmd and right click or (Ctrl + Shift and hit Enter), and select "Run As Administrator"
• Type the following commands, each followed by pressing enter.

• ipconfig /flushdns
• nbtstat -R
• nbtstat -RR
• netsh int reset all
• netsh int ip reset
• netsh winsock reset

Or another helpful command:

• netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Hope this might solve any problems you might have with Vista's new networking stack.

and the Key is "LmCompatibilityLevel" - Change the default value 3 to 1 then reboot.

school is starting back

I’m wondering if I can get all of my books for class in e-book form this semester. Instead of selling my books back to the store I usually end up selling them to my friends. Needless to say, I never really make anything back at the end of the semester.

I got an email from my biology professor talking about the e-book format that’s available for his class. I like the idea of being able to search for things in the book faster, but they only sell a crazy DRM copy that can only be used on up to 2 computers. I don’t plan on anything happening to where that would be a problem, but I would much rather purchase a PDF that I could use and do with however I want. (I’m not going to have this same laptop forever, right)
