zyxel wap 3205 - number of wireless clients limitation

Zyxel WAP 3205 can work in "wireless access point" mode.

When its firmware was version: V1.00(BFR.2), it could accept only 15 wireless clients.  But after I have upgraded its firmware to be version: 1.00(BFR.6)C0, I can now see 27 wireless clients.  It could be more.  I just don't have more computers to test.

how to use VirtualBox's "internal network" mode

Platform
  • VirtualBox 4.1.16 r78094
  • OS: Debian Linux
There is a situation when your Guest OSs need to access the Internet via NAT, for example, when you are using a dorm's Internet which they allow only 1 machine per account. And you also need your guest OSs to communicate with each other.
Let's say there are 2 Guest OSs which have to connect to the Internet via NAT. And you also need both of them to communicate with each other. This is impossible if you use just NAT one each virtual machine as they can't reach each other. You have to use VirtualBox's internal network.
This is the TRICKY part.

You must have 2 network interfaces on each virtual machine.

One is set to use NAT, another one is set to use "internal network" (choose "intnet1"). Then run this command:

VBoxManage dhcpserver add --netname intnet1
VBoxManage dhcpserver modify --netname intnet1 --ip 192.168.5.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --lowerip 192.168.5.2 --upperip 192.168.5.254 --enable

bandwidthd is a network monitoring tool: http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net/

Its unit is Byte on the table and Bit Per Second on the graph.

cannot send email from hotmail to google app email

Email contains error messages got from hotmail:

From: postmaster@mail.hotmail.com

Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.7.1 <xxx@yyy.zzz>: Relay access denied

It is because hotmail server tries to send email through yyy.zzz server which is not the email server (google's). Actually, hotmail should find address of email server by asking for MX record from the domain yyy.zzz instead.

Battery consumption : normal or abnormal


It is abnormal if the Android OS has the same percentage, close to or higher than of the Screen.
Last week, with my super battery, the battery drained so fast. From 100% to 10% in 4 hours. I noticed the strange in the battery consumption which was too much on the Android OS, so I wiped up the phone (factory reset). And then the battery consumption got back to normal.

Copy and Paste stops working with rdesktop (Linux Remote Desktop Client to Windows machine)

Create a .bat file with these 2 lines in it:

Taskkill.exe /im rdpclip.exe
Rdpclip.exe


Basically, we just have to reset the "rdpclip.exe" process.
