DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle

Oh god, I really hate vista now I realize why Microsoft wants to bury that chapter on his history.

Configuring a Vista Laptop at work the device couldn’t obtain an IP Address from the router, instead of trying to it just complains the device stays in an Identifying.. status and you can not connect to the network.

Certain types of router do not support the DHCP Broadcast Flag, or the option is intencionally turned off for security purposes, so according to microsoft what you need to do is setup this manually in the registry.

For the end-user this is the last thing you think about! What a piece of junk.

Textmate like editors for Windows

If you have a Mac and like the Texmate editor but you must deal with Windows environments, then you’ll feel very alone in this area. Perhaps you already know Notepad++ but it doesn’t have the snippets functionality and so.

Well there are a few other advance editors out there in the internet, but I found two very cool editors. The first one is E-TextEditor which uses the same snippets code of Textmate and have close compatibility with cygwin.

The other one is Sublimetext it doesn’t have the close similarity to Textmate that E-TextEditor has but it has very cool features by its own, and IMHO better look than the latter.

Sadly both are propietary but Textmate too, so don’t cry about it.

Microsoft Library

Microsoft is really improving his products documentation recently. The TechNet as they called is well structured and very well written with examples and in depth explanation of every administrative area.

Of course at work it became very handy for instance the Command Line Reference, it is amust if you are writing VBScript or Batch Files. If you are a Windows User or need to hand computers with any microsoft product, no hesitate to give it a shot.
