Wireless ADHOC Networks

Why and when would you want to install a wireless adhoc network? Well you would want to install a wireless Ad HoC network when you do not have the equipment for a wired network; you lack a wireless router and want to share an internet connection, or a temporary meeting place where you need to share information.

The first type of set up will be if you do have an internet connection but you lack a wireless access point or a wireless router to share that connection. This could be a very common scenario at a business meeting or during a classroom study session.

First, each computer will need a wireless adapter. Next click the advance tab near the bottom right and click (computer to computer ad-hoc networks only). Second you will need to add your ad-hoc wireless network so click add. Fill in the network name (SSID) and choose WEP encryption. You will want to use WEP if are using older adapters and use WPA if you are sure all the computers on the ad-hoc wireless network can handle it. It is not a requirement to use encryption but just remember that anyone will be able to join your network.

Because we will want everyone to share our wired ethernet connection you will need to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired network adapter not the wireless adapter. This seems like common sense but I have seen many people trying to setup ICS on their wireless adapter. just go to your network connections and right click the ethernet connections and press the advanced tab. Check the box that says enable ICS. Once you have setup your ICS, go to every computer and configure their wireless adapter like you did the first one.

ICS will act as a DHCP server and assign private TCP/IP address to your ad-wireless network clients. Each computer will receive a TCP/IP address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. ICS will also tell the computers on the network the location of their default gateway which is the computer you set up ICS on.

Trouble shooting a wireless ad-hoc network can be a head ache. Make sure you set up the ICS computer and one client computer. You will want to check to make sure that the first client computer has the correct IP address so type CMD into the run box to bring up the command line. Next, type in ipconfig, you should see a number of 192.168.0.2 or something similar. Next type ping 192.168.0.1 or the number of your default gateway. If you can ping it you should see four reply messages.

Once you have the first two computers connected correctly, just go to all the other computers and configure the wireless adapters the same way. Other common mistakes are: leaving the firewalls on, wrong encryption and just general typos.

In my next article I will describe how to set up a wireless ad-hoc network with-out a wired lan internet connection.

Xbox Mod Chips Turn Your Xbox Into The Ultimate Media Center

With many of the new video game systems having hit the market, most notably the XBox 360, which has been out for some time, but also the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3, many gamers are left wondering what to do with their old systems. While the option to sell of our old game machines is certainly a valid one, it may not be the best thing to do for that old big black Xbox that you think is just taking up space on your entertainment unit.

Yes, we could be $50 or $100 dollars for the good old Xbox on eBay, it may be much wiser to spend just a little bit of money, and turn that Xbox into something much more than just an old game system that you may not want to use any more. I'm sure you've all heard of Xbox Mod Chips, so I'll only briefly describe what exactly they are. What I will say though, is that it's quite possibly the best $29.00 investment you can make for your Xbox.

An Xbox mod chip is a small, mass produced micro controller that you can install into your Xbox. An Xbox mod chip allows you to play all types of games, such as backup games (where you copy your original game, put it away for safe keeping, and use your backup instead) as well as import games. Xbox mod chips also allow you to use emulators on your Xbox to play old classic nes or SNES games, as well as thousands of Arcade game too. Pretty much any old system you can think of, has an emulator made specifically for the Xbox, so you'll be able to play thousands of games.

However, there is also a little known (yet highly popular) extra function that xbox mod chips provide. Once you've installed your mod chip, you can swap out the standard Xbox hard drive with just about any size hard drive you can get your hands on. My Xbox has a 320 gig hard drive now, loaded with emulators and games, and a slew of homebrew applications. But the best part of it all, is something called the Xbox Media Center.

The Xbox Media Center is an add on that you can install onto your Xbox hard drive (even the regular 8 or 10 gig hard drives will do) that turns your Xbox console into a full blow dvd Player, DivX player, Mp3 Player, streaming video player, and so much more. In fact, it'll turn your Xbox into quite possibly the most advanced entertainment system available, all for a price of $0.00 - because you own the Xbox already.

With this simple installation (an Xbox Mod Chip is required) you'll have a Region Free dvd player, a DivX movie player, a file manager, built in SNES emulators and NES Emulators, as well as Sega Genesis / Mega Drive emulators and various other tools.

If you have a larger hard drive installed, there is also a piece of software built in called dvd to Xbox. This very unique software allows you to insert your Xbox disc into your Xbox, and then select the COPY dvd to XBOX and it will actually transfer your entire dvd disc, to your hard drive. You can play the game from the hard drive just as you would from a regular dvd disc, without the excessive load times.

One of the features that I like the most, is the streaming audio. The streaming audio lets you stream any Shoutcast radio station, right to your Xbox (when connected to the internet), turning your Xbox in to a streaming radio station, playing the music or songs you want to hear, whenever you want to hear them. On top of that, you can also watch Google Video and YouTube videos right on your TV screen too, by streaming them live from the Internet.

It has also replaced my dvd player, as my movie player of choice. It's actually a region free dvd player, so you could watch movies from any region, but on top of that, it has full support for divX, Xvid, and any AVI, Mp3, or Mp4 files. You can quickly and easily use the built in media player even to display your latest digital photos, right from CD-R or dvd-R discs. This easily beats almost any media center or media add on, and is truly a must have for your Xbox.

And best of all, it's all free. With the exception of the Xbox Mod Chip you require for the Xbox itself, all of the above mentioned software and features are completely free. If you're not one to solder, or don't like soldering at all, there are also no solder Xbox Mod chips available, which make installation a breeze, and you'll be up and running in no time.

In closing. I would urge you to reconsider selling what may seem to you to be an old game system, and turn it into something completely new, and different. It'll be the best $50 - $100 dollars you never got, from selling it on eBay.

Improve Your Golf Short Game

One of the most important areas of your golf is to constantly improve Your golf Short Game. When you consider that 80% of your shots are taken withing 150 yard of the pin, you begin to realize how important it is to always work on improving your golf short game.

The key to improving your short game is to try and stay relaxed. This should not be too difficult since you have just done the hard part - teed off - probably in front of a small audience! Now all you have to do is get the ball to the pin without making any horrifying mistakes.

The also need to be comfortable with your short irons. Consider going to the driving range with only your 5, 7 and 9 irons. Work through each club and find out exactly what sort of distance and height you get when you are hitting them correctly.

Another good idea is to only play with these 3 clubs for your short irons (not including your wedges) until it becomes second nature as to which one you select for different situations. This way, you will not be confusing yourself with too much choice.

Another important aspect of improving your golf short game is to get comfortable with your wedges around the green. Many shots can be wasted by hitting the top of the ball with your pitching wedge and sending it into the rough on the far side of the green. This is very frustrating and can cost you many shots on your score.

Make plenty of time to practice with your pitching wedge at the practice green. The key here is to first create 1 set up that you can can use to always guarantee that you get onto the green. Once you are comfortable with this and have used it successfully on a few rounds, mix it up a bit and create 2 or 3 other set ups for different distances and lies.

The key to using your wedges around the green is to not get smart too quickly. These are critical shots and carry a hefty price if they are carelessly executed.

Finally, lets not forget the dreaded bunker shots. bunker shots are fact of life in your short game. You need to practice these and find the club that suits you best for taking shots in the sand. Always remember that bunker shots are just another shot and don't really need to be feared.

With time and practice, you will see your short game improve. This improvement will dramatically improve your score too.
