linux iptables SNAT

you do not have to have the ip address of a machine behind iptables set on the gateway machine before you can SNAT with the ipaddress of the machine behind the firewall. In other words you can keep your valid ip address on the machine behind the gateway and still ask your gateway to SNAT with that IP.

Visio add text to shape with yellow dot

In detail, it goes something like this:

1. Create or select a shape (duh!)

2. Open the ShapeSheet via Window > Show ShapeSheet

Go to: Insert > Section and check Controls and Text Transform (if it isn’t grayed out)

You should now see both the Controls section and the Text Transform section in the ShapeSheet.

3. In the Text Transform section, set the TxtPin cells as follows:

TxtPinX = Controls.Row_1.X

TxtPinY = Controls.Row_1.Y

4. In the drawing window, reposition the control handle to a suitable default position. The text should follow along!

terminal services and iptables

for terminal services to work behind an iptables firewall, if the terminal server does not have a valid IP address, a full cone nat is required, which in iptables terms means that you need both a PREROUTING and a POSTROUTING statement.

#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

4. put your CD or DVD iso in /iso, they can be multiple isos

this is done using a superscope in the DHCP of domain controller.

- another scope 192.168.1.128/255.255.255.128

The two sub scopes will not be able to access one another

Put one of the servers in first scope and the other in the second one.

In the scope options each have their own DNS and default route

To make the clients become a member of a certain scope fix the clients MAC address and create a reservation

vmware guest OS on windows RRAS host OS problem

If you need to have vmware installed on a machine with RRAS, because of incompatibilities between proxy arp of RRAS and vmware your guest OS packets will not be routed, what you need to do is:
[in this example host machine has 2 NICs. One toward Internet and one local.]
1. Add a NIC to the host machine. (not virtual)
2. In the guest OS bridge one NIC to the Internet NIC of the host OS and the other to the newly added NIC of the host OS (which is connected to the local LAN)
3. Assign an IP address to the host and guest machine (the same range as the host machine)

Dear Sir,

After the attached transaction was rejected twice by two different exchange houses and I lost 135,000 TOMANS for money transfer costs and right after I got the Bank of America Transfer Information from you, I talked to customer support and told them that I need to have this account to buy stocks so the my brokrage firm that is buying the stocks for me needs to have access to my account using a direct method like
ACC NUMBER+NAME+BANK+ROUTING or any other method like this.

They said and I quote "Your account with us is not connected to a bank, so you can not get your brokerage firm to access your account. All you can do with this card is to get your employer to put your salary here and you can then get cash from ATMs". Alhamdolella I did not try the second method you offered otherwise I would have lost more. They asked where I got the card from and I gave them your website, they said that I can ask you for the same card but the Visa enabled one. I do not think you have it, because I asked you once.

When I asked about transfers from paypal, they said I can use paypal but as you may already know paypal has really strict rules about fraud and once they get a feeling that your activity is strange they simply block your account just like my old paypal account.

Now what I am asking you is to refund me and get your card back and also to remove the "HESABE BANKI AMRIKA" from your website because it is misleading and very simply put not TRUE not forgetting how time/money consuming it is to come to the above conclustion.

And the problem was solved.

when installing jdk depenging on the version for JRE to work correctly as well

for example for jdk-6u6-linux-i586.rpm to work along with tomcat you need to install java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.06-1jpp.i586.rpm as well, otherwise tomcat and the applications that need jre 1.5 upwards will not work.
