How do you hide your IP address?

The most common method to hide your IP address is to use a proxy server in one form or another. A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server and then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.
There are several implementations of proxy servers that you can use to hide your IP address (in an attempt to remain anonymous on the internet):

VPN Services

A virtual private network (VPN) protects your data and identity over public networks, like the Internet and wireless hotspots. Various protocols are used to create an encrypted tunnel that transports data securely. While a firewall may protect the data on your computer, a VPN will protect your data on the Internet. The goal of a VPN is to implement the same level of security provided by private networks at substantially lower costs. VPN services provide different gateway cities where the IP address assigned to your computer is located. This allows users to access websites only available to users from a certain country. This application is particularly important for travelers who need to access websites from their home country and for people living in regions rife with censorship, like China and Iran.

• VyprVPN
• Proxify
• Hide My Ass

Website-Based Proxy Servers

A Website-based proxy server is a website that provides a form for you to enter the URL of a website that you wish to anonymously visit. When you submit the form the website proxy server makes a request for the page that you want to visit. The machine usually does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not pass along your IP address in the request for the page. The features of these sites vary (ad blocking, javascript blocking, etc) as does their price. Some are free and some charge. Examples of website proxy services are:

• Proxify.com

Browser Configured Proxy Servers

There are also stand alone proxy servers that allow for you to configure your browser to route your browser traffic through that machine, which then makes a request for a page on your behalf, and then sends you the results. These are usually used at no cost to the user. Since they are accessible to the public these are often quite slow. Please see instructions for using a proxy server and proxy risks.
There are a variety of types of these proxy servers:

• Transparent Proxy
  This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used for their ability to cache websites and do not effectively provide any anonymity to those who use them. However, the use of a transparent proxy will get you around simple IP bans. They are transparent in the terms that your IP address is exposed, not transparent in the terms that you do not know that you are using it (your system is not specifically configured to use it.) This type of proxy server does not hide your IP address.
• Anonymous Proxy
  This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
• Distorting Proxy
  This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
• High Anonymity Proxy
  This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.

Computer - Internet & Intranet

Internet

• Internet is a world-wide / global system of interconnected computer networks.
• Internet uses the standard Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
• Every computer in internet is identified by a unique IP address.
• IP Address is a unique set of numbers (such as 110.22.33.114) which identifies a computer location.
• A special computer DNS (Domain Name Server) is used to give name to the IP Address so that user can locate a computer by a name.
• For Example, a DNS server will resolve a name http://www.tutorialspoint.com to a particular IP address to unique identify the computer on which this website is hosted.
• Internet is accessible to every user all over the world.

Intranet

• Intranet is system in which multiple PCs are networked to be connected to each other.
• PCs in intranet are not availble to the world outside of the intranet.
• Usually each company or organizations have their own Intranet network and members/employees of that company can access the computers in their intranet.
• Each computer in Intranet is also identified by a IP Address which is unique among the computers in that Intranet.

Similarities in Internet & Intranet

• Intranet uses the internet protocols such as TCP/IP and FTP.
• Intranet sites are accessible via web browser in similar way as websites in internet. But only memebers of Intranet network can access intranet hosted sites.
• In Intranet, own instant messengers can be used as similar to yahoo messenger/ gtalk over the internet.

Differences in Internet & Intranet

• Internet is general to PCs all over the world where Intranet is specific to few PCs.
• Internet is wider access and provides a better access to websites to large populcation where as Intranet is restricted.
• Internet is not as safe as Intranet as Intranet can be safely privatized as per the need.

 

Computer - Networking

What is a Computer Network?

A computer network is a system in which multiple computers are connected to each other to share information and resources.

Characteristics

• Share Resources from one computer to another
• Create files and store them in one computer, access those files from the other computer(s) connected over the network
• Connect a printer , scanner, or a fax machine to one computer within the network and let other computers of the network use the machines available over network.

Following is the list of hardwares required to setup a computer network.

• Network Cables
• Distributors
• Router
• Internal Network Cards
• External Network Cards

Network Cables

• Network cable are used to connect computers. The most commonly used cable are Category 5 cable RJ-45.

Distributors

• Each and every computer can be connected to another one via a serial port but if we need to connect many computers to produce a network, this serial connection will not work. The solution is to use a central body to which other computers, printers, scanners etc. can be connected and, and then this body will manage or distribute network traffic.

Router

• Arouter is a type of device which acts as the central point among computers and other devices that are part of a network.
• A router is equipped with holes called ports.
• computers and other devices are connected to a router using network cables.
• Now-a-days router comes in wireless modes using which computers can be connected without any physical cable.

Network Card

• Network card is a necessary component of a computer without which a computer cannot be connected over a network.
• Also known as network adapter or Network Interface Card (NIC).
• Most of branded computers have network card pre-installed.
• Network cards are of two types: Internal and External Network Cards

Internal Network Cards

• Motherboard has a slot for internal network card where it is to be inserted.
• Internal network cards are of two types.
• First type uses Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) connection.
• Second type uses Industry Standard Architecture (ISA).
• Network cables are required to provide network access

External Network Cards

• Comes in two flavour: Wireless and USB based.
• Wireless network card need to inserted into the motherboard but no network cable is required to connect to network.

• USB card, are easy to use and connect via USB port.
• Computer automatically detects USB card and can install the drivers required to support the USB network card automatically.

 

Computer - Number Conversion

There are many methods or techniques which can be used to convert numbers from one base to another. We'll demonstrate here the following

• Decimal to Other Base System
• Other Base System to Decimal
• Other Base System to Non-Decimal
• Shortcut method - Binary to Octal
• Shortcut method - Octal to Binary
• Shortcut method - Binary to Hexadecimal
• Shortcut method - Hexadecimal to Binary

Decimal to Other Base System

Steps

• Step 1 - Divide the decimal number to be converted by the value of the new base.
• Step 2 - Get the remainder from Step 1 as the rightmost digit (least significant digit) of new base number.
• Step 3 - Divide the quotient of the previous divide by the new base.
• Step 4 - Record the remainder from Step 3 as the next digit (to the left) of the new base number.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4, getting remainders from right to left, until the quotient becomes zero in Step 3.
The last remainder thus obtained will be the most significant digit (MSD) of the new base number.

Example

Decimal Number: 29₁₀

Computer - Data & information

What is Data?

Data can be defined as a representation of facts, concepts or instruction in a formalized manner which should be suitable for communication , interpretation or processing by human or electronic machine.
Data is represented with the help of characters like alphabets (A-Z,a-z), digits (0-9) or special characters(+,-,/,*,<,>,= etc).

What is Information?

Information is organised or classified data so that it has some meaningful values to the receiver.
Information is the processed data on which decisions and actions are based.
For the decision to be meaningful, the processed data must qualify for the following characteristics

• Timely - Information should be available when required.
• Accuracy - Information should be accurate.
• Completeness - Information should be complete.

Data Processing Cycle

Data processing is the re-structuring or re-ordering of data by people or machine to increase their usefulness & add values for particular purpose.
Data processing consists of basic steps input, processing and output. These three steps constitute the data processing cycle.

• Input - In this step the input data are prepared in some convenient form for processing. The form will depend on the processing machine. For example, when electronic computers are used, the input data could be recorded on any one of several types of input medium, such as magnetic disks, tapes and so on.
• Processing - In this step input data are changed to produce data in a more useful form. For example, pay-checks may be calculated from the time cards, or a summary of sales for the month may be calculated from the sales orders.
• Output -Here the result of the proceeding processing step are collected. The particular form of the output data depends on the use of the data. For example, output data may be pay-checks for employees.

 

Computer - Number System

When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as computers can understand only numbers.
A computer can understand positional number system where there are only a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.
A value of each digit in a number can be determined using

• The digit
• The position of the digit in the number
• The base of the number system (where base is defined as the total number of digits available in the number system).

Decimal Number System

The number system that we use in our day-to-day life is the decimal number system. Decimal number system has base 10 as it uses 10 digits from 0 to 9. In decimal number system, the successive positions to the left of the decimal point represent units, tens, hundreds, thousands and so on.
Each position represents a specific power of the base (10). For example, the decimal number 1234 consists of the digit 4 in the units position, 3 in the tens position, 2 in the hundreds position, and 1 in the thousands position, and its value can be written as
(1x1000)+ (2x100)+ (3x10)+ (4xl)
(1x10³)+ (2x10²)+ (3x10¹)+ (4xl0⁰)
1000 + 200 + 30 + 1
1234

Computer - Hardware

 

Hardware represents the physical and tangible components of the computer i.e. the components that can be seen and touched.
Examples of Hardware are following.

• Input devices -- keyboard, mouse etc.
• Output devices -- printer, monitor etc.
• Secondary storage devices -- Hard disk, CD, DVD etc.
• Internal components -- CPU, motherboard, RAM etc.

Relationship between Hardware and Software

• Mutually dependent.Both of them must work together to make computer produce a useful output.
• Software cannot be utilized without supporting hardware.
• Hardware without set of programs to operate upon cannot be utilized and is useless.
• To get a particular job done on the computer, relevant software should be loaded into the hardware
• Hardware is a one time expense.
• software development is very expensive and is a continuing expense.
• Different software can be loaded on a hardware to run different jobs.
• A software acts as an interface between the user and the hardware.
• If hardware is the 'heart' of a computer system, then software is its 'soul'.Both are complimentary to each other.

Computer - Software

Software is a set of programs, which is designed to perform a well defined function. A program is a sequence of instructions written to solve a particular problem.
There are two types of software

• System Software
• Application Software

System Software

The system software is collection of programs designed to operate, control and extend the processing capabilities of the computer itself. System software are generally prepared by computer manufactures.
These softwares comprise of programs written in low level languages which interact with the hardware at a very basic level. System software serves as the interface between hardware and the end users.
Some examples of system software are Operating System, Compilers, Interpreter, Assemblers etc.
Features of System Software are following

• Close to system.
• Fast in speed.
• Difficult to design.
• Difficult to understand.
• Less interactive.
• Smaller in size.
• Difficult to manipulate.
• Generally written in low level language.

Application Software

Application software are the software that are designed to satisfy a particular need of a particular environment. All software prepared by us in the computer lab can come under the category of Application software.
Application software may consists of a single program, such as a Microsoft's notepad for writing and editing simple text. It may also consists of a collection of programs, often called a software package, which work together to accomplish a task, such as a spreadsheet package.
Examples of Application software are following

• Payroll Software
• Student Record Software
• Inventory Management Software
• Income Tax Software
• Railways Reservation Software
• Microsoft Office Suite Software

• Easy to understand.
• Easy to manipulate and use.
• Bigger in size and requires large storage space.

 

Computers tips

The biggest problem users have with their computers is their little knowledge of how to secure and protect their personal computers and their information. Computer tip number one for every user is to use an anti-virus program. Most use an anti-virus program already installed on their computer but like most some have no anti-virus installed at all.
What most users don’t know is that there are free programs available that work just as great if not better than paid versions. Protecting your computer is the 1st step that should be taken when using your computer. Knowing how to update the anti-virus program is 2nd. Malware, Trojans, spyware and many other types can render your pc or laptop useless, and may even make it vulnerable for hackers to steal bank information, passwords and other private data needed for identity theft.
Some computers tips the users can do themselves to help secure their data are to learn about safe –browsing. By using a program like WOT, you can browse sites knowing it’s a safe site to visit. It gives you a rating and warns you if it’s a potentially harmful site. Another computer tip is to know how to update your browser. Updates are readily available by going to the site of the browser and checking for new updates.
One of the most important of all the computers tips is to use a firewall. Windows has a build in firewall or you can use free programs as an added protection. User should also be wary of downloading files over the internet. Never download from site you don’t know, if you have question about the site use Google to search the site. Educating yourself and having good computer habits will reduce your stress and prolong the life of your computer.
Backing up your computer to an external hardrive will reduce the risk of losing precious date should your computer become infected or your hard drive fails you. These basic steps will help but so will making sure to password protect logons, bank accounts, even your pc. Using a strong password will make it harder for hackers to crack and keep you and your computer safe.

Computer Tips for New Users

In today’s tech savvy, electronic age, almost everyone has a laptop or home computer. We all know how to check e-mail, chat and use Facebook or tweet on twitter. But, the key to keeping your new gadget alive, well secure and clean is a little less known to the everyday user. So, to help keep your life simple, here are a few computer tips that just might save you from having to pay someone to fix the electrical beast or worse yet, pay someone to fix something that you think is broken.
Let’s talk about a few things that you should know, no matter what stage of user you are, from beginner to power user, these computer tips and descriptions should help you learn how to resolve the issues associated with them. First a “Cookie”, is a file that a web page stores on your computer. It allows the web page and therefore the company to remember what you looked at, what you purchased and even keeps track of things like page layout, etc. This can be good, but can also be used negatively by questionable companies. It is stored on your computer and should be cleaned often.
 It is up to you to keep your gadget clean. “Malware”, is simply a piece of software usually, accidentally installed by the user that can cause malicious intent, like switching your home page in your web browser or sending your search engine to another default engine. It is sometimes packaged with a piece of software that is downloaded from the internet and is installed without the users knowledge.
Remember this computer tip: It is best to always get software form a reputable source and refrain from clicking or downloading on links that can cause malicious intent. “Spyware”, is a little worse than malware, it can be installed the same way as malware, but can also attack your computer by just visiting a web page or by viewing an infected image. It’s important to watch your step; in as much if you were in a seedy part of town you might not go down an alley or walk alone into a darkly lit store.

Computer Tip : how to clean, speed and improve your PC performance

11 Ways to Become an Outstanding Computer Technician

Become Indispensable!
If you've met some of the people that repair computers for a living, you might be shocked at their diversity of knowledge, experience, and behavior. Some are hands-down great technicians, but many seem like unprepared and ignorant kids who you wouldn't trust your toaster to, let alone something as critical to your life or business as your PC.

An outstanding technician is one who with professionalism and courtesy solves all the problems a user has without introducing new stresses or worries. These tips are written to aid technicians in following a path that is bound to put them above the pack and become indispensable to their clients and business. Every one of these tips can be taken as a matter of habit and will certainly boost your confidence as a technician and the money you bring into your business.

1) Never panic.
Don't respond emotionally if you do not understand a problem. Never scratch your head and act worried. If you don't know what something is, it's okay -- you can figure it out. Part of being a technician is being excited about discovering and solving new problems. If you fear or stress over repairs, you're simply in the wrong line of work.

2) Be professional.
First and foremost, show up on time. If you're going to be 5 minutes late to your appointment, call the client and let them know. I once received a $20 tip because I called to let a client know I was running 3 to 5 minutes late. Before I arrived I debated whether or not to call, but the client stated specifically this was why he tipped me. Being professional means dressing nicely, taking a shower, spitting out your gum, and not using foul language. Think of it like you're going to a job interview because every service call is essentially just that. If you want the client's business now and in the future, you should be as professional as possible at all times.

3) Remember their name and give them yours.
Introduce yourself with a strong handshake and say, "Hi, I'm Dan, nice to meet you." (with your name of course and preferred greeting). Most clients will respond with, "I'm [insert name here], nice to meet you, too." Being social does not come naturally to most computer geeks, myself included, but it's something you should constantly work to improve. Consider it a privilege that you're meeting so many new people monthly and that this is just one of the cool aspects of your job. Remembering the names of every person you meet may seem difficult, so make it a habit and work on it daily. Write them down if you have to – they are that important!

When a client gives you, some stranger, the name of their kids, friends, or anyone else, they think you're important enough to meet these people and know their names. Also these people are important enough to your client to introduce them to you – and many may become clients later simply because you've been introduced. Remembering every name is a surefire way to top-of-the-line service that nobody in town can rival.

4) Don't be afraid to call in for backup.
If you can't diagnose a problem, search the Internet. If that doesn't work, phone a friend. Ultimately, people really only want to see their problem fixed by whatever means necessary. While they may be impressed by your recall ability of every computer problem ever encountered, they will be infinitely more impressed when you fix the issue correctly.

5) Have your tools ready before you arrive.
A good technician can squeeze by with only a few tools. I carried a notebook bag with a decent notebook, a flash drive in my pocket with some basic tools, a couple diagnostic CDs for running hard drive and memory tests, some paper, pens, blank CDs, and so-on. If you've been a technician for even a few days, you should know basically what you need and don't need. Bring memory everywhere you go. You'll be shocked how many people don't have enough RAM which makes for a quick add-on sale and high customer satisfaction. Bring all the tools you require into the house. You should really only need to go back to your car for specific hardware replacements or upgrades.

6) Ask plenty of questions.
Don't be the diagnostic wizard and try to figure out everything yourself. A few quick replies from your client can solve a lot of headaches. Here are a few generic questions to ask: When did the problem start? Was anything changed since the problem began? What are the symptoms or error messages you're seeing? How do you get around the problem? Have you had any other problems in the past you would like to fix? Would you like to know how anything else on your computer can be upgraded or improved? Do you want your computer to do anything it currently cannot do?

7) Write down all problems and check them off as you fix them.
When paired with your geek mind, paper and a pen are about the most useful tools in your arsenal. Write down all the answers to the questions you've asked (see #6) and begin connecting the dots. Write possible explanations for each problem. As you begin the repair, write detailed steps you plan to take to complete the repair (backup pictures, install hard drive, install operating system, reinstall drivers, install Quickbooks, etc.). Cross out the steps as you complete them. Verify that everything works with the client before you leave and show him what you did (See #10). This is much easier with written notes.

8) Formatting is never an option.
Well, almost never. Formatting to fix even a moderate software problem is a very irresponsible move. People might say they have no critical data (or only photos, for example), but they probably installed plenty of codecs, web plugins, and other things that they use daily and take for granted. They may have customized the fonts, the desktop settings, the shortcuts, theme, and more. Formatting when facing crisis is the sign of a rookie technician. Try your best to fix the problem correctly, researching if necessary, and only format if you're certain there's no other way or the repair would take several more hours without formatting (which is usually not the case). If you must format, make a huge list of everything the client uses daily to be sure that no issues are presented later when it's too late to recover.

9) Answer any questions they have and let them watch you work if they want to.
Sometimes clients would ask me tons of questions while I work. I'm an excellent multi-tasker as most computer enthusiasts are, so I don't mind. It's fun for a non-techy person to watch a real technician dig into their PC and troubleshoot it. If you're doing a good job you should be proud to show them. Avoiding a client's questions is a sure way to lose repeat business and satisfaction.

10) Leave detailed job notes and a receipt.
Using your notes, reconstruct what you did for every step of the repair. Outline specifically what was replaced and why, to avoid issues later. Write a section in your notes for recommended actions a user could take to avoid the problem later. If you recommended additional hardware or services, mention why, the benefits, where to buy it, approximate cost, and so-on.

Add your e-mail address or phone number so the client can contact you personally. This way the client feels he is not stranded if the problem comes back. A 1-800-support or warranty number is not nearly as useful as a genuine personal contact. Save or print two copies: one for you and one for your client. Keep a copy so you can reference this visit later and remember exactly what you did and did not do. You will inevitably have to come back out to some clients' houses – these notes will act as blueprints for the first repair so you can know what you're in for ahead of time.

11) Know the major issues and don't skip them.
While you can do most research on the web for specific issues, never rule out the most common issues for computer problems without doing a full diagnostic of all hardware and software. Spyware, bad memory, bad hard drives, corrupted drivers, and power surges will probably account for the majority of your service calls. Always test memory and hard drives. It does not take very long with a DFT (Drive Fitness Test) quick test and a MemTest scan using Ultimate Boot CD. Also, with home networking, you'll replace a lot of routers, so always keep plenty in your vehicle.

6 Tips To Help You Become a Better Self Employed Computer Technician

I have read a few guides on the internet that have tips on how to become a computer technician. Most of these articles tell you to work for free, get your certifications and accept any job offer. While these tips are good advice for those who want to work for someone else, they don’t really apply to someone who wants to freelance. So, I have written my own tips on how to become a better self-employed computer technician.

Always Advertise. Always Test
There are many technicians out there who believe that if they register a business name, buy a few tools and put an ad in the paper they will have a successful business. This is obviously not the case otherwise there would be a lot more successful businesses.
The secret to advertising is to try different methods and test the results. I have personally spent lots of money on advertising that didn’t work but if I didn’t try things I wouldn’t have found what works for me. If you get it right the first time you are very lucky. Don’t let your first advertising failure turn you off, success is a series of failures.
Keep Advertising
Once you figure out what works for you, don’t stop advertising even if you are busy. The problem with advertising is that it can take time for it to convert into work. The advertising that you placed 2 weeks ago could be the work that is making you busy today. If you stop your advertising today you may not have any work to do in 2 weeks time. Keep advertising.
Don’t Work for Cheap
When you are first starting out, find out the cheapest and the most expensive price in your area and put your price somewhere in between. Too many new businesses make the mistake of pricing too low in hopes of building up their client base. While it can help, two things generally happen.
1. You get cheap clients who are not willing to spend much.
2. Its unsustainable because you don’t have enough money to reinvest in advertising.
I covered alot of this in our article “Are you charging enough?”.
Don’t Try To Do It All
It is in a technicians nature to figure out how certain things work and to do it themselves. However, its usually a better idea to get a professional to do a job. Its like the difference between your customer getting their cousin who “knows computers” to fix their computer over your professional work. Its just not the same.
It’ll take hours for you to learn how to a job correctly and you could have put that time to earning money by doing what you know best, building and fixing computers.
If you are just setting up your business, get an accountant to do it for you. If you are setting up a website, get a web developer to do it for you. Don’t waste time in areas you don’t know.
Turn Down Unprofitable Work
Just today I had to turn down some work that I believe would have been unprofitable. I got a call from client of my mothers business and they were having intermittent internet connectivity issues even after they had it looked at by a computer shop (who said it was fine) and replacing the modem.
Although I have fixed many problems like this before, the client lived more than an hour away and being intermittent, they are hard to fix because its hard to diagnose something that isn’t happening while you are there. Also, being that this client is one of my mothers clients, I will have to treat them extra special if something goes wrong in order to protect both my reputation, and my mothers.
I have a few computers on my bench that need to be worked on and I would rather spend my time fixing those machines than driving an hour each way to a problem I may not be able to fix. Don’t be afraid to turn jobs away don’t think you can fix or are likely to keep occurring after your visit.
Certifications Are Not That Important as a Freelancer
Other than the human resource department of a large company, nobody cares whether you have an A+ certification. In my 7 years of business I have been asked a total of 6 times.
Your biggest selling point is your reputation and a promise of friendly and prompt service.
If you are feeling that having another certification will help you gain more clients, you should spend it on your advertising instead because that is what really matters.

Fix Connectivity Issues

It sounds crazy, but 95 percent of all Internet connectivity problems can be solved by power-cycling both the router and the modem. Turn them both off, and then turn the modem back on first. Once its "sync" or signal light comes on, turn on your router.

Use Encryption

You've probably heard this before, but it bears repeating: Always enable your router's wireless security! Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is the oldest (and weakest) form of security; the newer (and stronger) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA-2 are the best protection available today for home users.

Update Your Router's Firmware

All routers include internal read-only chips with embedded instructions that can be updated by the manufacturer. Router manufacturers generally update a product's firmware to increase performance as well as to resolve bugs and security issues, so it's wise to keep your router's firmware up-to-date. Check the manufacturer's Web site for the latest updates.

Boost Your Wireless Signal

If walls and distance are causing wireless signal degradation, you can do a few things to boost it. Move your router to higher ground—the signal radiates downward. You can also try a signal extender (or repeater), which boosts the signal. Finally, high-gain antennas will work, but they only focus the signal in one direction.

Change Admin Password

Every router has a well-known default password that's used to access the router's browser-based configuration page. Most setup wizards will make you change this password, but not all do. If not, be sure to change it yourself to prevent unwanted hangers-on from changing your network's settings.

Go Back to Factory Settings

If you've lost or forgotten your router's login credentials, you can get around this predicament by resetting the router to its factory settings. Do this by holding down the button on the back of it for 30 seconds. Next, look in the manual for the default user name and password, and then change them on your router's browser-based configuration page.

Disable SSID Broadcast

Unless you disable it, your router broadcasts its service set identifier (SSID)—the name of your network—which allows your neighbors to see (and attempt to gain access to) your network. Instead, disable broadcasting, making the network appear as "SSID not broadcast." Access the unnamed network by typing in the SSID name when prompted.

Change the Default SSID

Change your pre-defined, default SSID—leaving it as "Linksys," for example, tells the world that you haven't configured your router, which invites attackers.

Filter by MAC Address

Every piece of networking gear includes a unique "fingerprint" called a media access control, or MAC, address. You can configure your router to filter connections using these addresses so that only your computers can connect to your network. Most routers will show you connected devices, so adding an adapter's MAC address is a one-click process.

Step Up to 5GHz

The majority of today's networks operate in the crowded 2.4GHz frequency range, which is shared by microwaves, cordless phones, and other home networks. To avoid possible interference, many new routers are capable of broadcasting at 5GHz, which has 23 wide-open channels as opposed to 2.4GHz's three non-overlapping channels.

Limit Your Number of DHCP Clients

Most people use their router as a DHCP server; when clients connect, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses from a large pool of addresses. Limiting that list to the number of clients in your home, however, will help prevent interlopers from hopping onto your network.

Use Your Router's Firewall

Two features make most hardware firewalls more powerful than software firewalls: stateful packet inspection (SPI) and network address translation (NAT). SPI examines packets' content and behavior before granting access, and NAT hides all PCs connected to the router from the Internet, "translating" their IP addresses into private ones that are unreachable from outside the firewall.

Change Your Channel

Wireless B and G (and some N) routers operate at the 2.4GHz frequency, which only has three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6 and 11. By default, your router will most likely be using one of these channels, and the bad news is so your neighbors' routers as well. If you experience dropped connections, sluggish performance or both, a good first step is to switch the channel. If it's set to channel 1, go to 11. If it's set to 6, try either 1 or 11 for best results.

Let Windows Control Your Wireless Networks

If a network adapter's software takes control of your wireless network, it can be difficult to put Windows back in charge. First, click Start, then Run, then type services.msc. Scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration and start the service. Right-click your wireless connection, select view available networks, and then click advanced settings on the left. Click the wireless networks tab, and check "Use Windows to Configure my wireless network settings."

Disable File Sharing in Public

If you're in a public place with a Net connection, it's a good idea to disable File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. In the properties of your network adapter, uncheck the appropriate box. It's also a good idea to switch your notebook's wireless radio off if you aren't using it.

10 Tips To Remain Safe From Password Hacking

Password is the code that we use to log in to any website. Now-a-days many people are using internet. They are signing up in many websites. Social websites are increasing day by day. So, more and more people are being the sufferer of password hacking.
Hackers are very clever now a days. They use several methods to hack your password. Key-loggers and Phishing web pages are created by them which are capable to threat you and steal your password. In this post, I will show you how to remain safe on internet by protecting your passwords. Just follow the simple rules discussed below:
1. Never use same passwords in every website. Use different passwords in different websites, such as, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter etc. If you use same password and one of your account is hacked, other accounts will also be hacked easily.
2. It is very difficult to remind all passwords. So, write down your passwords in a notebook or notepad and keep it in a safe place. It will make you safe from password hacking.
3. Use complex passwords. Never use simple passwords like 12345, 123123, abcdef, abc123 etc. You can use passwords like At#pSG*Wd or something like this. Also, keep at least 8 or more characters in your password.
4. Use special characters in your password like !@#$%^&* etc. It will make your password stronger.

How to sync specific Folders With Dropbox


Would you like to sync specific folders with Dropbox instead of automatically syncing all of your folders to all of your computers?  Here’s how using Selective Sync available in the latest Beta version of Dropbox.
Dropbox is a great tool for keeping your important files synced between your computers, and we have covered many interesting things you can do with your Dropbox account.  But until now, there was no way to only sync certain folders with each computer; it was all or nothing. 
This could be frustrating if you wanted to store large files from one computer but didn’t want them on a computer with a smaller hard drive.  The latest Beta version of Dropbox allows you to selectively choose which folders to sync between computers.
Please Note: This feature is currently only available in the 0.8 beta version of Dropbox.
Setup the new Beta
Download the new beta version of Dropbox 0.8 (link below); choose the correct download for your system.  Run the installer as normal.

It only took a couple seconds to install, though it made the taskbar disappear briefly at the end of the installation on our tests.  Strangely, the installer doesn’t let you know it’s finished installing; if you already had a previous version of Dropbox installed, it will simply start working from your system tray as before.  If this is a new installation of Dropbox, you will be asked to enter your Dropbox account info or create a new account.
 
Selectively Sync Folders
By default, Dropbox will still sync all of your Dropbox folders to all of your computers.  Once this beta is installed, you can choose individual folders or subfolders you don’t want to sync.  Right-click the Dropbox icon in your system tray and select Preferences.

Click the Advanced tab on the top, and then click the new Selective Sync button.

Now uncheck any folders you don’t want to sync to this computer.  These folders will still exist on your other machines and in the Dropbox web interface, but they will not be downloaded to this computer.

The default view only shows your top-level folders in your Dropbox account.  If you wish to sync certain folders but exclude their subfolders, click the Switch to Advanced View button.
 
Expand any folder and uncheck any subfolders you don’t want to sync.  Notice that the parent folder’s check box is filled now, showing that it is partially synced.

Click OK when you’ve made the changes you want.  Dropbox will then make sure you know these folders will stop syncing to this computer; click OK again if you’re sure you don’t want to sync these folders.
 
Dropbox will cleanup your folder and remove the files and folders you don’t want synced.
 
Next time you open your Dropbox folder, you’ll notice that the folders we unchecked are no longer in this computer’s Dropbox folder.  They are still in our Dropbox online account, and on any other computers we’re syncing with.

If you add a new folder with the same name as a folder you stopped syncing, you’ll notice a grey minus icon over the folder.  This folder will not sync with your other computers or your online Dropbox account.

If you want to add these folders back to this computer’s Dropbox, just repeat the steps, this time checking the folders you want to sync.  If you have any folders that were not syncing before, their names will have (Selective Sync Conflict) added to the end, and will sync with all of your computers.

Conclusion
We’re excited that we can now choose exactly which folders we want synced on each computer.  Since everything is still synced with the online Dropbox, we can still access any of the folders from anywhere.  This makes your Dropbox much more versatile, and can help you keep the folders synced exactly the way you want.
