Here I am explaining how to set up LAN connection in windows 7. First go to control panel > network and Internet > network and sharing center > connect to a network   if you don't see the icon there please check that local area network is enabled in adepter setting. To check  network and sharing center and go to change adapter setting. and right click on the local area connection icon and enable it.  Now come to "connect to a network" and  click on the lan icon and then go to properties and then choose ipv6 or ipv4 as applicable (at iisc ipv4) and then click properties > set ip address of your computer in ip address field and fillup subnet mask , default gateway and DNS server  . cheers A Paul

Now a days bluetooth is one of the most common device that people use to listen music, or even talk with some one in phone or in laptop. Most of the recent laptop comes with build in bluetooth adopter. It is pretty easy to connect bluetooth device with head set. It is also very easy to connect bluetooth device with laptop having OS windows XP or Windows vista. But in windows 7 and in any version of Ubuntu it is very difficult. Actually it is not very difficult to pairing this device with either in Windows 7 or in Ubuntu. But in Windows 7 there is no option to connect the device. So it is bit automatic kind of thing depending on the last connection. if it is not connecting to windows 7 you have to pair it again with the laptop and then you can listen sound through it. But in Ubuntu the problem is you can pair it and even connect it but you will not listen any audio through your headset. That is because Ubuntu can not redirect audio to your head set. You can solve this problem using fo...

Gmail and YahooMail are two most popular web based email (web mail) provider. Though this two provider provide lots of functionality for viewing, composing and storing mail which are really cool, but some time we need some desktop client. The good news is that we can get mail from this web based mail to our desktop email client. Here I am saying how to configure your email client to get this email. There are two protocol supported by Gmail, viz IMAP and POP only POP by YahooMail to get the email and SMTP to send email. Where IMAP is a two way synchronizing process, POP is one way process. But IMAP is little slow and POP is relatively faster. Here I will explain how to configure POP not IMAP which I will tell later.

There are many people who use dual booting and use two operating system together. Specially Linux and Windows. Most of the Linux user use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is very easy to use with very good interface. For dual booting with Ubuntu there is grubloader which loaded first and give you option which operating system you want to use. But some time you may destroy your grubloader. This generally happen when you repair your Windows os or reinstall the Window. In that case  You have to repair your grubloader again to get back your grubloader.

Flash plugin is one of the very important plugin of Internet Browser. To watch most of the online video (like YouTube video) and animated picture we need it. But there is a problem installing this plugin in Ubuntu, if you are working inside proxy. If you try to install it from synaptic package manager,  if you want to install it from .deb file or if you install from direct command. The package downloaded fine but when dpkg runs it shows problem. The only way it can be install seems to be in terminal with Ubuntu Restricted Extras. The code is as following: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra But the worst thing happen when if try to install it and it stop installing. After that you can't open senaptic package manager, you can't open update manager, you can't install or uninstall any software in your system terminal and even you can't run the .deb file. It will always show some error massage. Like " run sudo dpkg --configure -a" or  "first r...

Mozilla Thunderbird is a cross platform desktop email client which support both IMAP and POP protocol. This is a free open-source software. You can install the English version of software from this site,  http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ . There are other language version also. Actually I have four email account in different provider, like Gmail, Yahoo and my Departmental email. So to check all email I have to open the different account.  Which is very boring and time consuming. So I use Desktop email client and check all mail together. Why I have chosen Mozilla thunder bird? There are other client like Outlook in window and Evolution Mail in Ubuntu (which is actually default client in Ubuntu). Actually I feel that the interface of TB is more easy and attracting Outlook and Evolution Mail. More easy to configure and most interesting is that its selection the conversation in conversation view is better than other two rival. It's a product from Mozilla so t...

Hi everybody. As far I know the two best on line photo sharing site are Flickr and Picasa Web Album. We can share photo with our friend family. We have option whether we want to show the photo publicly or we can upload photo privately so that any one, other than whom with I am sharing photo, can't see my picture. You can use the link of the photos of from these site and use them in your site to show them. You can use them for slide show by using html code, which you can get from the site by using some simple step, which I will discus later.Here I will discus how can we insert photo slide show from Picasa or form Flickr to your blog. There is some gadget for showing the Picasa and Flickr Photostream.
