prioritize LAN Connection & Wireless in Windows XP

I would recommend reordering the list of connections you have for
networking, by this I mean, going into

Control Panel

| Network Connections

Click on the “Advanced� menu item

Click “Advanced Settings�

On the “Adapters and Bindings� tab look at the list of connections you have,
if you require you LAN to have priority over you WLAN, then move the LAN
connection to the top and WLAN below using the Green arrows on the right hand
side.

This might help, cant guarantee it but it’s another option to try if the
first suggestion didn’t work.

Could not load file or assembly 'MOM.Implementation' or one of its dependencies.the system cannot find the file specified.

fix this issue remove the following dll files from the C:\windows\system32:

BIBUtils.dll
JP2KLib.dll



FIX: A batch script would be something like this:
move /y %windir%\system32\ace.dll %windir%\system32\ace.dll.old
move /y %windir%\system32\AGM.dll %windir%\system32\AGM.dll.old
move /y %windir%\system32\BIB.dll %windir%\system32\BIB.dll.old
move /y %windir%\system32\BIBUtils.dll %windir%\system32\BIBUtils.dll.old
move /y %windir%\system32\JP2KLib.dll %windir%\system32\JP2KLib.dll.old

Changing Root Password in linux

1. Entering Runlevel 1

Some Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu for instance, offer a specific bootmenu entry where it is stated "Recovery Mode" or "Single-User Mode". If this is your case, selecting this menu entry will boot your machine into single user mode, you can carry on with the next part. If not, you might want to read this part.

Using GRUB, you can manually edit the proposed menu entry at boot time. To do so, when GRUB is presenting the menu list (you might need to press ESC first), follow those instructions:

• use the arrows to select the boot entry you want to modify.
• press e to edit the entry
• use the arrows to go to kernel line
• press e to edit this entry
• at the end of the line add the word single
• press ESC to go back to the parent menu
• press b to boot this kernel

The kernel should be booting as usual (except for the graphical splash screen you might be used to), and you will finally get a root prompt (sh#).

Here we are, we have gained root access to the filesystem, let's finally change the password.

2. Changing Root Password

As root, changing password does not ask for your old password, therefore running the command:

# passwd

That's it, you can now reboot your box and gain root access again

Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications" tool

RemoveWGA enables you to remove the Microsoft "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications" tool, which is calling home and connect to Microsoft servers every time you boot (pilot version), or every two weeks (current release).

Once the WGA Notification tool has checked your OS and has confirmed you had a legit copy, there is no decent point or reason to check it again and again every boot. Moreover, connecting to Microsoft brings security issue for corporate networks, and privacy issues for everyone. It is also unclear which information are transmitted (Microsoft published an official answer, but an individual study brought some questions). All of that, along the fact that Microsoft used deceptive ways to make you install this tool (it was told you it was an urgent security update, whereas it is a new installation giving you no extra security) makes me calling this tool a spyware.

Also, Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications is different than Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. RemoveWGA only remove the notification part, phoning home, and does not touch the Validation part. As the time I'm writting this, the Validation part is mandatory for some not critical downloads from Microsoft, but the Notification part is not mandatory at all, and you are able to install all of the security updates without installing this one. This may change in the future thought, I don't know what are the Microsoft plans.

Note : once the WGA notification is removed, the Automatic Update will bug you about installing the update again. This is normal, and out of the scope of RemoveWGA (since at this point, the WGA notification is uninstalled from your system). If you are concerned about tweaking Automatic Update to prevent Microsoft trying to push the update on your computer.

system standby VS hibernate

system standby is a hardware/software solution where the hardware and software work together to manage the computer's power usage by shutting down some non-critical systems (Fans, drives, peripherals) and throttling back the critical ones (CPU, Network). Hibernation is a Software only solution that basically takes the current snapshot of the system (RAM memory) and writes it to the hard disk then informs the hardware that it should do a complete shutdown. When the hardware is turned back on, the hardware does a full POST (Power On/Self Test) process and then passes off to the software to do a full boot. Since the software wrote a copy of itself to the hard drive it skips it's full boot process and simply loads the system snapshot written to disk back into RAM and the applications that were running generally have no idea they were not running during that period of time the machine was "off". In short, Hibernation was created to give the false impression of quick "boot" times for users who wanted to start up their computers faster.
All of this seems to suggest that Hibernation would save more energy than System Standby. Although more will be said later on with regards to the subject, it is important to understand how modern PC hardware is designed. In the "old" days² the power switch was hardwired to the power supply and when the switch was off then the power supply was off and little³ energy was being consumed. In modern configurations⁴ the power supply is always drawing some energy and supplying the system's motherboard with a trickle current. The motherboard uses this to keep an idea of what state the hardware is in ("on" or "off") and manage the devices accordingly. When a user switches "on" the power button, the motherboard⁵ determines what state it should change to based on rules. In a two state system the most basic is what state is the hardware in now and then change to the opposite state. As such, Hibernation, System Standby and turning a system "off" will result in similar if not the same power draws.

The Remote Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service Rejected AUTH Negotiation

When users send e-mail to external, remote, or Internet domains, they may receive the following notification from the Postmaster or Administrator of the local Exchange server:

Delivery Status Notification

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed
someone@example.com

The user may also receive the following message indicating the time expiration of delivery attempts for the message:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: Sender's subject
Sent: Date and time that the message was sent

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

someone@example.com on date and time
Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator.

This behavior may occur if the outbound security of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual server or the outbound security of one or more SMTP Connectors are set incorrectly.

To verify whether this is the cause:

1. Open Exchange System Manager.
2. Expand Servers, and then expand ServerName.
3. Expand Protocols, and then expand SMTP.
4. Expand Default SMTP Virtual Server, and then expand Queues.

Remote Delivery Queues will be displayed in retry mode (A Blue Arrow).

To view the description of the queues in retry status:

1. Right-click a queue in retry status, and then click Properties.
2. The upper status box should read, "Retry, Remote delivery".
3. The lower box should read, "The remote SMTP service rejected AUTH negotiation".

Forwarding Mail Through a Smart Host

Use an SMTP connector for this type of delivery, and set access control to the requirements of the smart host. For more information about when to use an SMTP Connector, see the "References" section.

1. Use the preceding steps for the SMTP connector.
2. Set the outbound security according to the requirements of the Smart host
