“The Internet Protocol Suite (commonly known as TCP/IP) is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard. Today’s IP networking represents a synthesis of several developments that began to evolve in the 1960s and 1970s, namely the Internet and LANs (Local Area Networks), which emerged in the mid- to late-1980s, together with the advent of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.”
If you have difficulty connecting to the Internet, another troubleshooting step you should take is re-setting the TCP / IP stack.
Doing the re-set through the NetShell utility is the most thorough way of executing this task.
In XP:
1. Go to Start > Run
2. Enter cmd
3. Type netsh int ip reset [ log_file_name ]
example: netsh int ip reset mylog.txt
In Vista:
This command re-writes the following keys in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\Parameters\

Windows Sockets 2 (Winsock) enables programmers to create advanced Internet, intranet, and other network-capable applications to transmit application data across the wire, independent of the network protocol being used. With Winsock, programmers are provided access to advanced Microsoft® Windows® networking capabilities such as multicast and Quality of Service (QOS).
Corruption of the Winsock catalogue may occur due to a number of reasons, such as installation of network and security software, malware attack / infection, virus removal, etc.
The most obvious symptom of that is the lack of Internet connection.
If you are in XP, the best and easiest way to approach this problem is to use WinSockFix.
Download it from here or here.
Under Vista, do the following:
Not my favourite security product. I have to admit, though, version 5 is amazing. You will feel guilty for not paying for the full-blown package…

Back in the days when I studied for my SAT and TOEFL exams, I got introduced to the flash cards learning concept. It is a mental process based on active recall.
There are a variety of applications that can create flash cards but only one of them caught my attention.
CueCard appealed to me because of its simplicity, functionality and the features it supports.
For more information, visit the author’s site.
I have produced a switchless installer based on the original application. The Nullsoft installer Wade Brainerd (the author) used, comes up with two prompts at the end even after applying the usual S switch. Since I am more comfortable with MSI packages, I decided to re-wrap the main executable into an .msi file and then create the switchless installer.

The best way to approach the build of an unattended TaxCalc package is to use a technician computer.
1. Install TaxCalc the conventional way;
2. Register using either online or offline method;
3. Export
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Acorah Software Products\TaxCalc 2009
4. The current version of TaxCalc uses the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page).
To initiate a silent set-up, you have to use the “S” switch,
e.g.:
taxcalc_9.26.04.exe /S
5. To register the application, use:
REGEDIT.EXE /S regfile.REG
