Opening TCP Ports in Windows:

pening TCP ports in Windows may be necessary for getting certain applications to run correctly. Each application may require a specific port to operate on. While your computer can and does open ports on its own, in certain situations you may need to do this manually. Here are some tips

Step 1. Launch Windows and click Start, then My Network Places. A new window should pop up. Select Network Tasks and then click View Network Connections

Step 2. Select the connection you use for the internet. If you do not know the connection which accesses the internet, you can disable each connection one at a time and then use your browser to see if your internet connection works. Once you find the connection that accesses the internet, right click on it and select properties.

Step 3. A new window should pop up. Select the Advanced Tab and then select Settings.

Step 4. Right-click the connection that you use for the Internet, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings.

Important Note: If your Settings button is unavailable, this means that all ports are open. Since all ports are open, you do not have to go any further to open ports manually- your job is complete.

Step 5 Click on Add to open a new port - you will see several fields. Fill in information for the following fields. For the description box and the name or IP address boxes add the details of the computer hosting the service. For IP Address you can use the following: 127.0.0.1. For the field External port and Internal port boxes, input again the IP address 127.0.0.1.

Step 6. Click TCP and then select OK. You have manually opened a TCP port on Windows.

How to use the MS Office research capabilities

MS Office Office 2003 had integrated a research button on the interface of Word, Excel, OneNote, Outlook and Powerpoint. The tool will let you search for word definitions, stock quotes, and more in-depth sources like the Encarta Encyclopedia.

To start using this functionality on MS Office 2003, click the Research button under the Tools menu:

A window will appear where you can type a keyword you want to research. See the example below where I searched for "Battlestar Galactica":

I like the fact that it easily connects to other research services like HighBeam Research and not just MS sources like MSN and Encarta. The good thing about this research thing compared to Google and other search engines is that it can switch from one resource type to another very quickly. For example, to switch to dictionary, just click on the resource type dropdown then choose Encarta Dictionary:

Another great thing about this is that it also supports language translation where you can translate a word or the whole document to another language! Also, if business and stocks is your thing, it is integrated real-time with stock quotes and company information. A bunch of third party web services are also tied-up like Gale, Factiva and WordLingo. This means you are not limited to the Microsoft resources! You can also add your own Sharepoint site inside your Intranet which is a very helpful thing for us corporate Sharepoint users.

Lost Administrator Password in Windows 7 or Vista

Unfortunately, there are a lot of ways you can lose access to your Windows logon account, one being simple forgetting the password. This happens ways more often than you would think!

But in reality, there are several ways you can end up losing access to an administrator account, including

1. Setting a new password for an Administrator account and then forgetting the password.
2. Deleting an Administrator account and not being able to log into another one.
3. Changing an Administrator account to a standard user account and not being able to log into another Administrator account
4. Windows 7 or Vista becoming corrupted and not accepting a correct password

Note that in order for this to work, System Restore had to be enabled and there has to be a restore point that was created before you lost access.

To get started, pop in the Windows 7 or Vista DVD into your drive and restart the computer. Press a key when you get the Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.

If you don't have a Windows 7 or Vista disc, you have to boot into the Advanced Boot Options screen and then choose Repair your computer.

Choose the Language, Time and current format, and keyboard. Then click Next. If you booted from the DVD, you'll see the Repair your computer link at this step.

Now choose the operating system you want to repair. Then click Next.

Now click the System Restore link and find a restore point that you want to use.

Make sure to pick a restore point that is sufficiently past the date when you lost access to your Administrator account. Restart your computer and see if you can log in.

If you've managed to recover access to your Administrator account, you should think about creating a set of password recovery disks for Windows Vista or 7. So even if you forget the Administrator password, you can regain access using the disks. Enjoy!
