Retrieve MAC address of a PC on a network

Windows No Comments »

I have installed Canon 5400 in our network, and found an option to add the printer with its MAC address in the installer, then wondered if that’s possible with a network printer to retrieve its MAC from my PC, although I know what its IP address. Here’s the solutions

1. Click Start -> Run, type cmd and click Ok
2. Type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of the computer who’s MAC address you want to retrieve( in my case its 192.168.0.3)
3. After the ping response has finished, type arp -a
4. Under Internet Address, locate the IP address you just pinged. In the same line, the corresponding MAC address is listed under Physical Address

You will see something like:
192.168.0.1 00-17-16-00-33-b4 dynamic
192.168.0.2 00-50-04-ee-99-c2 dynamic
192.168.0.3 00-00-b4-ce-2a-ac dynamic

Eclipse Subclipse SVN + Hostgator.com

Development, linux, PHP Development, Windows 3 Comments »

I use Hostgator as my hosting company. I love them – great service, tons of space and no long term obligations. And the servers are fast. Now, another reason to love them – running Subversion repositories on your server with the caveat – you can only have one account to account to access that repository. If you develop by yourself, and I do for now, it’s not a problem. So how do you do it – assuming you are a Java coder using Eclipse on Windows?

1. Send Hostgator support a request to get SSH access to your server. They will ask you to send in a picture id and once that is cleared, you should be good to go. A matter of a day or two.

2. Install Subclipse SVN plugin for Eclipse. The Subversive plugin DOES NOT WORK.

3. Install the really good Tortoise SVN client

4. Set up an environment variable called SVN_SSH. To do that, go to the Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variable -> New (under the bottom Window). For variable name enter the value SVN_SSH and for its value enter c:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe (assuming you installed Tortoise SVN in the default location).

5. Start Eclipse and go to the Subclipse options: Window -> Preferences -> Team -> SVN . There, for the SVN Interface select “SVNKit (Pure Java)”. Click OK to store the setting.

6. Now, using Putty or some other SSH tool, SSH to your account. You will need to set up a repository for your project. To do that, create the directory that will be used as repository, say /myrepo. Now, create an Subversion repository inside that directory: svnadmin create myrepo.

7. Create a new project by checking out the repository from SVN. To do that, in Eclipse, go to: File -> New -> Other -> SVN -> Checkout Project From SVN.

8. The ‘Checkout from SVN’ window will appear. There select to create a new repository location

9. For the URL, enter: svn+ssh://@:2222/home//. In other words, if your domain is example.com, your admin user name is joey and the path to your repository is /myrepo, then your URL will be svn+ssh://joey@example.com:2222/home/joey/myrepo

10. Another popup window will follow that will ask you for your SSH user name. Enter the details and make sure they are saved.

11. You should be good to go at that point as the rest of the process is the normal project checkout scheme used by Subclipse.

Unlock USB modem like tattoo, SUN, Smart Bro

GSM, Windows 1,056 Comments »

I have this problem with globe, too slow and unstable connection, then think if I can just hack my tattoo to use SUN or smart SIM. Finally, there’s a way to unlock this USB modems. Post your Model and IMEI here.

Fomat:
Model: E1552
IMEI: 353143035178632

Code: 62274932

After receiving the code, insert new SIM and enter your unlock code. If unlock prompt didn’t show up, then use this tool.
HUAWEI MODEM Code Writer

How to use:
1. Plug USB Modem
2. Click ” Please Select Com Port”
3. Click “Detect” and Select the device.
4. Click “Accept”
5. Click “Unlock Modem”

From here you should get something like this on the center of the unlocker:
Found Phone, Phone Info:
– Manufacturer :huawei
– Model :E160X
– Revision :11.608.05.00.00
– Phone IMEI :355856029123456

6. Enter Unlock code and click “Unlock”

TO EVERYONE!!!
I will now start validating email address because some were just using dummy email and some were using fake. This blog is not requiring for visitors to CLICK ADS nor to SEND DONATION, may I request everyone to use their valid email addresses. :-D
That would be better instead of asking you to click ads or pay for the service.
Thanks!

Add Commands to Windows Explorer Context Menu

Windows No Comments »

Here’s a quick and easy way to add a couple of custom commands to the Windows Explorer context menu. The first allows you to open any file anywhere using the editor of your choice, such as Notepad2 – an excellent replacement for Windows Notepad.

1. Open the Windows Registry editor.
2. Open the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*
3. Create a sub-key named shell
4. Create a sub-key beneath that named Open with Notepad
5. Create a sub-key beneath that named command
6. Change the default value to notepad “%1″

Include double-quotes around the %1 parameter, otherwise the command processor attempts to invoke the file that you’ve right-clicked rather than just passing it to notepad.

This is very convenient. You don’t have to add Notepad to the Send to list or sift through the Open with command for unrecognized file types.

I also use the VS command prompt a lot to run msbuild. Here’s how to add a command to the context menu displayed when you right-click on a folder to open a VS command prompt with the working directory set to the selected folder.

1. Open the Windows Registry editor.
2. Open the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
3. Create a sub-key named VS Command Prompt
4. Create a sub-key beneath that named command
5. Change the default value to
cmd /k “”C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat”" x86

Yes, that should be two doule-quotes at either end of the vcvarsall.bat path.

And yet another command I use often, since I do offline version-controlled development and need to unset the read-only bit on files is a command I’ve named Make Writeable. The value of the command sub-key should be: attrib -r %1. This works even when multiple files are selected.

Using this bit of information, you should have no problem adding your own commands to the Windows Explorer context menu.
