There are numerous problems associated with computers which have one solution and there ain't any other generic solutions which cures almost all diseases - the explained ones and the unexplained ones - the REBOOT.
There ain't anything in the animal or plant kingdom which acts the same way. There is no comparison of a medical solution, oh but wish there was one like this. So simple to execute and so powerful. Whatever the problem you understand it or not - you can always give REBOOT a try and be mesmerized then the order is restored.
Was watching TV sitting yesterday and all of a sudden the router dropped. The wi-fi network was up and running but I was not able to access the Internet. Being a techie guy, though oh that's easy. Some problem with a router. The little LINKSYS WRT54G status showed no IP address on the status page. Whatever number of times you try to release or renew the DHCP. Stuck !! What could have gone wrong ...
On a Sunday without internet at home is like being on a summer beach all alone, no friends no music and not even a single person in sight.
Tried
a) Renewing and releasing DHCP
b) Every goddamn configuration and logging option
c) Scanned though all options no the router's application
d) RESET router
e) Removed power for cable modem - restarted the modem
f) Removed power cable for Router - restarted the router.
g) Restarted both
Still nothing !!
Still no results - then pulled out the LAN cable from the router and started browsing for the online help. Thinking the router might have been gone !!
Then came across this term "power cycling the router".
Step 1:
Shutdown the computer.
Step 2:
Unplug the router’s power cable.
Step 3:
Unplug the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
Step 4:
Plug in the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for its lights to appear stable.
Step 5:
Plug in the router's power cable once the modem’s lights appear stable.
Step 6:
Power on the computer on and test the Internet connection.
And VIOLA !! It works.like every another thing in the computer world.
Some More Interesting Links in case you are stuck with your LINKSYS router:
a) Special note for users with Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS routers, there are severe problems with them when running any P2P app (read for fix)
b) The WRT54G Revival Guide.
Tips For Newbie's
In the world of computers whatever operating system you are using - windows linux or unix or mac - if there is a problem you don't know about - TRY REBOOT - if u are lucky its resolved.
And in case its windows - wow u get performance back to normal too.
Tips For Expert's
Don't know whats wrong - its obviously weird something that cannot be like this.
Try REBOOT - just for a try. Some programmer forgot to clear the stack or may be the memory leaks are too much for the garbage collector to clear up..its just an unstable state now - some smart crooks like you and me forgot the basic programming rules...let the nature clean up all the shit - REBOOT
Whatever you think is a SMART MACHINE - a modem, a router, a computer whatever that has a memory and a processor - embedded or not - will respond to this.
Whatever has been touched by a programmer ever will like this treatment.
Call it the CURSE OF A PROGRAMMER or eternal truth

what have we become...the power the money..corrupted souls currugated moralities
Boris Yeltsin is dead.
The great Russian leader is dead. But the fire is still burning and it will keep burning. "Russian colonialism" and "Chechenisation" never got over for mothers who lost their sons just one day when the so called peace returned in Chechania, the weeping wifes. Where are we heading Mr. Yeltsin and Mr. Putin - whats happening.
Two wars to save Russia and the answer to so called threat of Islamic militia in Chechnya's destroyed nothing but common people. Who died in this wars - common people. They say Grozny after the two wars didn't even have a single building which was not bombed. And they talk about the bombings and not the innocent soul - both Russian soldiers and the Chechen civilians - countless people killed in the conflict.
And what stands there - a warlord-in-chief Ramzan Kadyrov who is the president now.
The only difference being that now he is standing by the side of Mr Putin.
Pity our freedom.
Long live Russia.
Long live the Presidents and Politicians.
Rest In Peace - Mr. Putin.

41 shots ..the tarnished great american dream
What to say..
Is it a gun..is it a knife
Its the blood of innocent people chasing their great American dream..who got laid in the Norris Hall. It shook the world. Its natural isn't it.
Words cannot describe how bad it is. It ain't a secret.
"People can get killed just for living in" .. as Bruce Springsteen puts it.."you American skin.
But its what you reap that you can sow and some times you reap something else also what you have been sowing for others.
The Americans are shook by the incident. The world is so sympathetic. But why doesn't a tear roll down for the people dying in Iraq. The girls being raped in Darfur. Why why doesn't any body care.
The incident so called is bad shook all of us because the media couldn't manipulate us. It was brute it was bad. We all cried because it came without the so called government filters. Otherwise it would have sounded sweet too. It was all draped in sorrow because it happened in USA and that the Americans died.
I ain't an ANTI AMERICAN. I ain't any one associated with Bin Laden's Army.
But I am just a human being who refuses the accept the atrocities by the American for money being done around the world.
Brothers everything is not business. And if u think it is. You don't always do good business. Alas the only problem is the loss is upon the common people.
Rest In Peace.
The students - you got killed just for living in.
Am sorry for you but am sorry for the politicians and the media baron's cause if there is an old saying in our part of the world
"jab boya beej babool to aam kaha se ho"
And forgive LORD, the poor kid who who lost it all...i am sorry for the trauma the families are going through...bro its not that u failed its the system that failed and poor us..we live to pity ourselves without any dignity to stand up and fight against the ones who called u names..who in the name of information and news kept accusing other TV Channels who called the stuff you sent to them disturbing and still kept showing it to all others..who say that everything sells..and sell it off all the time..
am sorry for you bro..we lost it once more..and we all lost bro and sisters

While Suzanne holds the mirror...........
"the secret which pierces with such sweetness....
the secret we cannot hide and cannot tell...
call it beauty and behave as if that had settled the matter......
The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not 'in' them, it only came 'through' them, and what came through them was longing...
For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited."
C.S. Lewis wrote that and he wrote about an experience that cannot be put into any number of words and I dare to talk about the subject today. I don't fear failing miserably but the experience it self is worth talking about.
"Suzanne" is the song which is playing on the CD. Leonard Cohen is rendering the most depressing song which makes the longing come alive. No wonder as he talks about his Suzanne, every one gets touched. The inspiration for such a master piece has to be exception and the somebody of the likes of Cohen can only put into words that experience. The rest is history.
But what are these experiences and the genius who go through them to create the masterpieces. Mere mortals like me cannot even think of....
I just want to travel and I want to travel blind..
"Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind."
Check out the Song..may be its a song of your soul too
