I’m using dtree dropdown menus on the site. Works great. Documentation is a bit out of date. It is fully widgetized so no need to edit the template. Just add it to your sidebar widget.

Port Range Mapping SBS 2003 Standard

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

or port forwarding multiple ports.

simply create a batch file with

FOR /L %%P IN (10012,1,11000) DO NETSH ROUTING IP NAT ADD PORTMAPPING INTERNET UDP 0.0.0.0  %%P  192.168.16.32 %%P

 this would map ports UDP 10012 – 11000 from the INTERNET netwrok interface to 192.168.16.32

 Change UDP to TCP  as applies to your situation.


 

Online Video not Working in XP

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
Had a client with a Toshiba Laptop. Complained of online video not working. I tested by attempting to watch an on demand movie at netflix.com. I got an error about the video driver. I went to Toshibas website and downloaded the most recent driver (2006) and installed it. Still no video…

Then I came across this website . Now this guy was annoyed. But I changed the setting and voila we have video. So while not optimal it works now.

A description of how to do it is here.

Basically go to WMP and Tools – Options – Performace and slide the slider to the left.
