Wireshark again.

This wireshark stuff is brilliant. I've had a reason to read up on it over the past while however it's accessibility leaves a lot to be desired. It seems to be using non standard colors or something for menus. When I add them to the custom highlight assignment then sometimes they read reasonably well but it's still not usable. I know that someone better with Jaws scripting would have a lot more luck very quickly with this and I also know that it would benefit many a blind sys admin so I'm asking if someone would mind trying to make it speak?

Diagnosing local or isp issue
by Ben Mustill-Rose 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hey all, I don't really like speaking with my isp's tech support, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a few things to try in my situation to try and determin if the below is a problem at my end or the isp's? I have a fairly old (DG834G bought in 2006) modem / router / access point combo which has been working very well up until now. Every few days, the wan connection will get dropped and I have to reboot it until it comes back up; this can take quite a few reboots. It always shows as connected in the web interface - I can see upload and download speeds, but I don't get an ip from the isp. I've tried flashing the firmware, new cables and different micro filters all with no affect which has taken quite a while since it might work fine for days then all of a sudden fail. I considered using a computer with a usb modem and internet connection sharing connected to a switch to see if the issue goes away, but I'm really reluctant to have a windows box facing the internet on my network so I'd rather not. Using a different line is possible but would require quite a bit of rearranging, so unless people think it might help, again, I'd rather not. >From reading other peoples posts on forums, it seems like my isp is a bit reluctant to help with this sort of thing until you can proov that its not a problem at your end - they walk you through a troubleshooting document and then they ask bt to run a test on the line which takes 30 days. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try? Cheers, Ben.

by Troy Hergert 29 Jul '11

Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut for opening the contacts or address book in Windows live mail 2011? I tried control shift b which doesn't work. Control shift c worked in wlm 2009 but now in 2011 that starts a new contact. I can't even find the option to go to the address book from the ribbon bar. Any ideas? Thanks.

ssl certificate question
by David Mehler 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello, I've got to secure some services using an ssl certificate. Each is operated on a different subdomain for example: www.domain.com pop.domain.com smtp.domain.com svn.domain.com etc. It's now time to renew the certificates, I wasn't the one who purchased the original batch, but the client has a separate certificate purchased at the same time for each service. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to do a wildcard certificate such as: domain.com or: *.domain.com in the cert's commonname field? I'd prefer to only use one certificate for all services if possible and it also saves a considerable amount of money. Thanks. Dave.

Windows 7 terminal program or Mac?
by Scott Granados 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi there, I have a new computer (my first win 7 netbook) and the fine folks at Microsoft no longer include hyperterm. Is there a good suggestion for a term program? Putty seems like it may work but maybe something more full featured? I need something where I can definitely send a break for password recovery. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Scott
