"TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection" , WTF!

3 days ago, I had this problem right after coming back from Surabaya to Jombang. I plugged the LAN cable to ethernet port on my laptop, but no Internet Access is gained.  Strangely, pinging the router (192.168.1.1) is not working like it was, the CMD window was giving “Destination Host Unreachable” crap. When I tried to repair the connection, the windows is giving me a -crappy– message like this:

Lucky me, my father got a PC that had already connected to internet, so I can easily ask Google for solutions. And then I found the thing about resetting WinSock entries and resetting TCP/IP stack to installation defaults by useing Netsh command utility. At first I really don't know if this thing have something to do with my problem. But it works! like a -charm– 

There are 2 methods available for the tricks, the first is done manually and the second, done automatically.

Let's see how the first method works. By using the Netsh command utility, first you have to:

• Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.
  
• Type netsh winsock reset catalog to reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults
  Resetting the socket which manages the TCP/IP. This can be used to handle network problems (browser problem, IP address related problems, etc..)
  
• And then type this one netsh int ip reset reset.log to reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults.
  PS. reset.log or C:\reset.log represents the address of the file in which the reporting will be stored
  
• Finally, reboot the machine -in order for this fix to works properly-
  

For the second method, it's pretty nifty and need not to be explained as clearly as above trick. You only have to download the -freeware- WinSock XP Fix. and then run it by double clicking the program, click the [Fix] button. Upon finished installing or fixing, reboot your PC or Laptop.

Upon rebooted, VOILA! your network will properly work again -restored- like it used to be. :D

uTorrent Search Engines Preferences

► || HOP! SKIP! JUMP! || DEPAPEPE • Ready! GO!! ♫

Search Engines [Format: name|URL]

isoHunt – preferably for searching out -pirated- movie & game torrents.
TokyoToshokan – special BitTorrent site for japanese media –especially anime & J-Pops-
Demonoid – excellent private trackers for poor seeded torrents.
Demonoid (Power Search) – search result sorted by the most downloaded torrent.
Google – as you had already know, the search engine guru –placed last for no specific reason-

Having these custom URL formats are helpful for me, they’re pretty nifty :)

PS. I omitted one custom URL format because it was too long to be displayed.

Get Me OUT of This Cave

Lemme tell you about the cause of my first step towards my future.

Looking back, since the day I started learning about programming techies, I felt "It's not fit in" and I wonder why. What I want the most from this academic field is the overseas degree. Even though now I'm not sure how to get it, because of some serious problems in my family owned business. Knowing that my dad was desperately trying to make me graduate from the university of mine, finally has made me realize that, it's not good as it been anymore...

20 and Got No Driving License

Unlike any other people, I don't have any driving license especially for motorcycle ride -until I wrote this post- . Lately I thought it was really a big saver if I had applied for it . I'm working at a software house located in Surabaya, Indonesia . The main office officially was based in Jakarta, they had opened some branch offices all over Java -west, middle and east are included- .

As now, I'm placed in one of their branch office in Surabaya . The workplace are far from the office, and often I wondered if I've gotten a motorcycle, it'd be a great help! -once again- unfortunately, I got no driving license .

Simple Note for May

1 month has passed since I told you about my 1st salary experience.

The people in my workplace are really nice and hilarious at times. They often made several ridiculous jokes to get rid drowsiness and fatigue. They are fun and really awesome, why awesome? Each of them could get a hold of their own responsibility with ease. It seemed like they got used to the problems and had long mastered several ways to solve them. I envy them; I wanted to be like them in problem solving -especially in programming and stuffs-

1st Salary = Payback!

As of today, I’ve received my -very- first salary.

Therefore, I’m happy -indeed!-. And I count it as a payback for all of the hardships I’ve been facing until the end of this month. I wrote some of my grumpy side and I was at the state of depressed when I wrote that post.

Let me tell you something about, how it exactly feels when you received your first salary...

An Unfold Pathway

- March -

I began to realize, doing something which is wrong is better than not doing anything. I missed my sophomore days a lot, I want to take bachelor degree even if I have to take it in my home country. What I’m looking for was -actually- an overseas degree, that way I might get more unbelievable experience and maybe some of them are unforgettable. I’m a NEET right now, which means - Not in Employment, Education or Training.
Realized that being a NEET was really horrible, I looked for a job vacancies that could –at least- accept my current programming skills. The bad things are, I haven’t practiced for a while and you know, if you rest, you’ll rust. At first, I was intending to apply for a job that doesn’t need much from my programming skills, but the outcome was otherwise …

Delayed Schedule

It’s February 2010,

And I’m still resides in my home country -Indonesia- . I should be at Melbourne by now, looking for fully furnished vacant place or flat to live in 1.5 years ahead. What for? I had taken a major that would grant me an international bachelor degree in one of the –a little bit infamous- university in Surabaya. There are 8 sophomores –including me- and 2 of them had gone abroad doing some adaptation and stuffs. Some of us didn’t do well in our IELTS test; we must pass the passing grade given by the university, 6.0 each and we aren’t. Thus the schedule was delayed...
