Leave a comment

To erase/delete traces of past activities including the last (15) opened documents/files in Windows XP, install freeware LCleaner (V.1.1.2.34 on 22-Dec-2007) from www.585Soft.com

For multiple users, manually remove each user’s list separately with individual log-in.

Right click on bottom toolbar, (or START), -> Settings -> Taskbar and Start Menu -> Start Menu

There should be 2 radio buttons, viz. Start menu and Classic Start menu

Start menu -> Customize -> Clear List

Classic Start menu -> Customize -> Clear

That’s it!

Network

Linksys WRT54G WiFi Network

1 Comment

The network configuration.

My home wifi network comprises Linksys WRT54G wireless router + Aztech ADSL DSL305E modem (replaced by Riger ADSL DB102 modem). A Windows XP desktop and a Windows 98 desktop are Cat5 UTP wired to the router with various Windows Vista laptops connected wirelessly. The modem is connected via RJ-11 to TMNet’s broadband service, Streamyx, at 1Mbps unlimited usage.

The problem.

The computers suddenly cannot connect to the Internet. Direct connection via modem works but not through the router.

The solution.

The modem should not be set to direct dialling. The login to the service provider should be via the router. The Username and Password for the Streamyx account somehow got corrupted within the router within the Linksys’ administrative screen. Re-typed and re-saved the settings.

The Linksys firmware was 2.2 and upgraded to 4.0_4.21.1_US_code.

The Linksys CD setup wizard was faulty; could not detect the Internet link. Replace the CD program with the EasyLink_Connect.exe program from http://www.linksysfix.com/check/HomePage/index.htm or http://www.linksysfix.com/check/netset/instal…/EasyLink_Connect.exe and run it instead.
