[tech4all] Using the Netsh Command
How can I configure TCP/IP settings from the Command Prompt?
In order to configure TCP/IP settings such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses and many other options you can use Netsh.exe.
Netsh.exe is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh.exe also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. Netsh.exe can also save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or to help you configure other servers.
Netsh.exe is available on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
You can use the Netsh.exe tool to perform the following tasks:
- Configure interfaces
- Configure routing protocols
- Configure filters
- Configure routes
- Configure remote access behavior for Windows-based remote access routers that are running the Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) Service
- Display the configuration of a currently running router on any computer
- Use the scripting feature to run a collection of commands in batch mode against a specified router.
What can we do with Netsh.exe?
With Netsh.exe you can easily view your TCP/IP settings. Type the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE):
With Netsh.exe, you can easily configure your computer's IP address and other TCP/IP related settings. For example:
The following command configures the interface named Local Area Connection with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1:
(The above line is one long line, copy paste it as one line)
Netsh.exe can be also useful in certain scenarios such as when you have a portable computer that needs to be relocated between 2 or more office locations, while still maintaining a specific and static IP address configuration. With Netsh.exe, you can easily save and restore the appropriate network configuration.
First, connect your portable computer to location #1, and then manually configure the required settings (such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses).
Now, you need to export your current IP settings to a text file. Use the following command:
When you reach location #2, do the same thing, only keep the new settings to a different file:
You can go on with any other location you may need, but we'll keep it simple and only use 2 examples.
Now, whenever you need to quickly import your IP settings and change them between location #1 and location #2, just enter the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE):
or
and so on.
You can also use the global EXEC switch instead of -F:
Netsh.exe can also be used to configure your NIC to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server:
Would you like to configure DNS and WINS addresses from the Command Prompt? You can. See this example for DNS:
and this one for WINS:
Or, if you want, you can configure your NIC to dynamically obtain it's DNS settings:
As you now see, Netsh.exe has many features you might find useful, and that goes beyond saying even without looking into the other valuable options that exist in the command.

Re: [tech4all] How HCL offers computer for RS.9990,if it is possible for assembly systems?
http://www.hclstore.com/ezbpride/ezbpride.htmlOn 8/10/05, Sriram Subburathinam - CTD, Chennai <sriramsr@hcltech.com> wrote: Article from tuxmachines.org:
************************************************
Aiming at India's volume PC market, two vendors this week launched
entry-level products that run Linux and are priced at about US$230.
Backing these initiatives is the country's minister for communications and
information technology, Dayanidhi Maran, whose aim is to increase PC
penetration in the country.
Currently, 15 million people in India own a PC and there are 5 million
Internet connections in the country, according to Maran. The aim of the
Indian government is to increase the number of people owning a PC to 75
million and the number of Internet connections to 45 million by 2010. To
achieve this objective, the country needs low-cost PCs, said Maran at a
launch Monday in Chennai, commenting on a $230 PC from HCL Infosystems Ltd.,
a large PC vendor in Noida, near Delhi.
Maran also noted that the Indian government will be setting up an
open-source center in Chennai to develop open-source software to get around
the high cost of proprietary software, Maran said.
"The response that the HCL PC is getting is phenomenal," said Ravi Pradhan,
country manager in India of Via Technologies Inc. in Taipei. At Indian
Rupees 9990, the cost of the new Linux PC from HCL breaks the Rupees 10,000
price barrier that is important to attract the mass market, Pradhan added.
HCL's $230 PC uses a processor from Via in Taipei, while Xenitis Infotech
Ltd. in Calcutta launched this week a PC priced also at about $230, which
runs Linux on a processor from Intel Corp.
In May, Encore Software Ltd. in Bangalore introduced three models of
Linux-based computers that retail at between $222 and $333 depending on the
configuration.
Microsoft Corp. rolled out in India in June its Windows XP Starter Edition,
a low-cost, stripped-down version of Windows XP for emerging economies. But
some of Microsoft's partners, like HCL, are of the view that offering Linux
is the only way to arrive at the $230 price point.
By using Microsoft's Windows XP Starter Edition, it was not possible for HCL
to offer a PC at $230, said an HCL spokesman. "Linux is free, while the
Starter Edition has a price tag to it," he added. HCL also offers PCs that
run the Windows XP Starter Edition, as well as Linux PCs that run on Intel
processors.
"The Starter Edition has its limitations, such as the hardware configuration
that can be used and the number of applications that can be run at one
time," said Pradhan. "The competition at the entry level is between Linux
and a pirated version of the full version of Microsoft Windows."
By September, Via expects to introduce its Terra PC, a set of reference
designs for low-cost PCs, that will first be rolled out in India. HCL is one
of the licensees for these reference designs, based on Via's processors and
chip sets, that will enable vendors to offer PCs priced at about $230,
according to Pradhan.
The PCs will be offered with Linux, although they will be certified to also
run Windows, according to Pradhan. By adding the Windows operating system
and office suite from Microsoft, the price of the PCs will more than double,
he added.
Microsoft expects that product value will, in the final analysis, prevail.
"We are committed to helping India bridge the digital divide, and making our
offerings more affordable is a key initiative to this end," said a
spokeswoman for Microsoft India. "In creating low cost products, we need to
ensure that there is no compromise in the value they offer," she added.

highlights and remarks
1Live Update: An Anthology of New Marathi Poetry edited and translated by Sachin Ketkar (Poetrywala; Mumbai 2005) is a book I would urge every poetry lover in India to read.
Ketkar is himself a distinct new voice as a bi-lingual (Marathi and English) poet, and a sensitive translator of the work of his contemporaries. He also has an original perspective as a translator-critic.
During the last century, Marathi poetry has undergone several revolutionary transformations confronting its 800-years of evolution as a mature literary art tradition on the one hand and its increasing exposure through translation to other poetic traditions, especially of the West.
A new republican spirit has given Marathi poets the confidence to speak from their own chosen location in a vastly varied worldscape and we now see individual talent bursting through with vigour. This was the result of a process that took one hundred years of asymmetrical modernization in its stride. The end result is a poetry with as many differences as similarities of tone, texture, technique, and tenor trying to rise above the level of the collective noise of the media and the regimentation imposed by academic literary categories that are fading into obsolescence.
Grab this book at least to hear the small but insistent inner voices of dissent and non-conformity. You may even feel, at times, the refreshing rush of readerly anger. But thats what makes this book noteworthy.
Dilip Chitre

Hemant Divate
This Magnificent Era of Marathi Poetry
The period of the last ten to fifteen years is extremely fecund and momentous in the history of Marathi poetry. Not only the poets presented in this anthology, but also some of the best poets in Marathi like Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre and Namdeo Dhasal, who (thanks to the separatist professors of Marathi and the so called literary critics have come to be labeled as Sathottari or the post-sixties generation of poets) have published their outstanding work in this period. Chitres collected poetry of around one thousand pages in Ekoon Kavita-1, 2, and 3, some of the most important work of Arun Kolatkar in Marathi and English (Bhijki Vahi, Chirimiri, Droan, Kala Ghoda Poems and Sarpa Satra), and six collections of Namdeo Dhasal have seen the light of the day in this period.
After the epoch of medieval bhakti poetry in Marathi (from the end of the 13th to the end of the 17th century), this is the most innovative and prolific period in the history of Marathi poetry. During a period when the future of the Marathi language seemed bleak, the bhakti poets composed their monumental literary works in the language of the common man and rescued it from sinking into oblivion. The poetry written in the present period too suggests a similar breakthrough for the Marathi language and its literary potential.
Today, if he has to survive, the Marathi manus (the Marathi-speaking man) will have to widen his world-view, retrieve his original fighting spirit, and take inspiration from these distinguished trail-blazing poets even though they might not be `saints like their bhakta predecessors.
All Indian languages are facing today the same crisis that Marathi is facing. They are losing confidence in the resilience of their mother tongue as they are overawed by the global sweep of English. I believe that all Marathi-speaking schoolchildren must have their mother tongue as their medium of instruction; at the same time, they must be at least bi-lingual in order to gain progressive access to the exponentially growing information in many disciplines and branches of knowledge that is already available in the English language. Encouraging a pluri-lingual culture from an early age would encourage future generations of Indians to a world more varied yet more integrated than the world of their parents and ancestors. This may seem a digression, but poetry paves the way to understanding the world poets share with their readers; and readers attitudes to language are formed through early schooling.
The Age of Abhidha Nantar
The poetry magazine Abhidha Nantar has been around on the Marathi literary scene for about twelve years. It is the only literary magazine and literary movement in Marathi to recognize and respond creatively to the forces of globalization already transforming our life and culture. Before Abhidha Nantar, hardly anyone had thought seriously about globalization and its impact on Marathi poetry. Abhidha Nantar gave generous attention to the linguistic, cultural and literary changes taking place in the last 15 years and the crises of identity they generate. It provided a platform to the new poets who came into their own in the nineties and who were responding to the new cultural and social predicament brought about by the forces of globalization, and also offered a forum for critical speculation and discussion.
Abhidha Nantar began as Abhidha in1992. In a bar named Sapna near the Shahad Railway Station, I shared the idea of starting a little magazine devoted to poetry with my friends. They enthusiastically endorsed the idea and Abhidha was born. It ran for seven years. Though it was not what Abhidha Nantar is today, it was always ideologically open and progressive in its orientation. We always thought we should keep pace with time. The last issue of Abhidha came out in 1998 and, after its registration with RNI the very next year Abhidha Nantar was born.
Globalization was transforming our life and culture at immense speed. (I wrote in one of my editorials that India, which was black and white in the1980s, became multicolour in the 1990s.). Consumerism, a brand-driven life style, the personal computer, satellite and cable TV, the Internet, the mobile telephone and all other products of fast-paced technology had transformed our lives and cultures so much that in the 1990s we were already an integral part of the international process called globalization. Our language changed: human beings came to be increasingly seen as consumers and that raised a whole lot of unprecedented questions for us.
Before Abhidha Nantar highlighted this, hardly any writer in Marathi tried to respond to this changed cultural context. Even the widely acclaimed series of collections by eight young Marathi poets, who wrote serious poetry and who were trying to outgrow the influence of the post-sixties Marathi modernist poetry, had not responded to the changed life and culture transformed by globalization. I repeatedly raised the question, editorially, of how Marathi poetry could remain unaffected by such major social change.
Later in my editorials in the Diwali issues of the magazines from 1999 to 2004, I continuously highlighted and emphasized that poetry written in the nineties had changed considerably due to the altered cultural context. Many poets who published in Abhidha Nantar tried to express in their poems their confusion and sense of suffocation resulting from globalization. Marathi poetry in the 1980s was largely under the influence of the post sixties modernist poetry and it did not reflect the rapidly changing cultural environment. Thus Marathi poetry of the nineties was extremely different from the poetry of the preceding decades. It can be called post-modernist in this sense.
However, Abhidha Nantar is not dogmatic and closed. It does not have any fixed ideological orientation towards globalization. It has merely maintained that creative writers and critics should think about the process of globalization and its impact on their own lives. It provides a platform for those who are creatively responding to it. Today, it has succeeded in making people take note of these changes in culture, poetry and other genres of creative writing.
The Conception of the Anthology
In the year 2002, the internationally renowned poet and translator Dilip Chitre translated my first collection of Marathi poems Chautishi Paryantchya Kavita into English and baptized it as Virus Alert. Later, my poems were translated into other Indian languages viz. Bengali, Urdu, Hindi and Malayalam. During that period, I was honoured with the Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad, Kolkattas Vagarth Puraskar --- a National Award.
Thanks to all these developments, I came in touch with various poets from different corners of India. My poetry reached a greater audience because of its English avatar and my contemporaries could not share the same wider audience with me. Reflecting on this, I felt that there was an urgent need for an anthology of contemporary Marathi poetry in English. Incidentally, the previous anthology of Marathi poetry came out in the year of my birth (1967): it was edited and mostly translated by Dilip Chitre. There were no such efforts in the last thirty years. I do not know the reasons for this, but I felt that I should publish an update on Chitres anthology.
Along with my concept of Kaviteche Ghar, or A Home for Poetry, I presented this concept in the Shahpur Conclave of contemporary Marathi poets arranged by Abhidha Nantar. As I had seen his translations of Narsinh Mehta, the outstanding Gujarati bhakti poet, and some Marathi poets, I had the name of Sachin Ketkar in mind to take up this challenging task. I felt that Sachin was the right person to shoulder this very important cross-linguistic responsibility.
Though he had seen me at the tenth anniversary celebrations of Abhidha Nantar, I met Sachin for the first time at the conclave. Though some translators of poetry into Marathi and Hindi were present, there was no one else present at the conclave that could undertake English translation. Sachin enthusiastically came forward to do this work and within the span of six months translated almost half of the poets present in this anthology. At the conclave we had also thought about two more anthologies: one in Marathi and the other in Hindi, but the priority was given to the English anthology.
I am glad to present Live Update: An Anthology of Recent Marathi Poetry.
The publication of this book would not have been possible without the kind support and co-operation of the Abhidha Nantar family, Dilpdada (Dilip Chitre), Vijutai (Vijaya Chitre), Mitra Parekh, Sanjeev Khandekar, my wife Smruti, my cousin Kakoli Chakravarty and the timely help from Dr. Uday Salunkhe. I wish to thank all these people; the poets presented in this anthology, and of course, Sachin Ketkar, though some of them they may not like to be mentioned by name
I welcome candid comments and suggestions from all the keen readers of poetry into whose hands this book may fall. This book is an effort and an invitation to form a community of poetry-loving people to share views; and who, I am sure, will agree with the illuminating words of Tukaram:
Words are the only
Jewels I possess
Words are the only
Clothes I wear
Words are the only food
That sustains my life
Words are the only wealth
I distribute among people
Says Tuka
Witness the Word
He is God
I worship him
With words
(Source: Marathi Abhang by Sant poet Tukaram; English translation by Dilip Chitre-Says Tuka-1)

RE: [tech4all] How HCL offers computer for RS.9990,if it is possible for assembly systems?
Article from tuxmachines.org:
************************************************
Aiming at India's volume PC market, two vendors this week launched
entry-level products that run Linux and are priced at about US$230.
Backing these initiatives is the country's minister for communications and
information technology, Dayanidhi Maran, whose aim is to increase PC
penetration in the country.
Currently, 15 million people in India own a PC and there are 5 million
Internet connections in the country, according to Maran. The aim of the
Indian government is to increase the number of people owning a PC to 75
million and the number of Internet connections to 45 million by 2010. To
achieve this objective, the country needs low-cost PCs, said Maran at a
launch Monday in Chennai, commenting on a $230 PC from HCL Infosystems Ltd.,
a large PC vendor in Noida, near Delhi.
Maran also noted that the Indian government will be setting up an
open-source center in Chennai to develop open-source software to get around
the high cost of proprietary software, Maran said.
"The response that the HCL PC is getting is phenomenal," said Ravi Pradhan,
country manager in India of Via Technologies Inc. in Taipei. At Indian
Rupees 9990, the cost of the new Linux PC from HCL breaks the Rupees 10,000
price barrier that is important to attract the mass market, Pradhan added.
HCL's $230 PC uses a processor from Via in Taipei, while Xenitis Infotech
Ltd. in Calcutta launched this week a PC priced also at about $230, which
runs Linux on a processor from Intel Corp.
In May, Encore Software Ltd. in Bangalore introduced three models of
Linux-based computers that retail at between $222 and $333 depending on the
configuration.
Microsoft Corp. rolled out in India in June its Windows XP Starter Edition,
a low-cost, stripped-down version of Windows XP for emerging economies. But
some of Microsoft's partners, like HCL, are of the view that offering Linux
is the only way to arrive at the $230 price point.
By using Microsoft's Windows XP Starter Edition, it was not possible for HCL
to offer a PC at $230, said an HCL spokesman. "Linux is free, while the
Starter Edition has a price tag to it," he added. HCL also offers PCs that
run the Windows XP Starter Edition, as well as Linux PCs that run on Intel
processors.
"The Starter Edition has its limitations, such as the hardware configuration
that can be used and the number of applications that can be run at one
time," said Pradhan. "The competition at the entry level is between Linux
and a pirated version of the full version of Microsoft Windows."
By September, Via expects to introduce its Terra PC, a set of reference
designs for low-cost PCs, that will first be rolled out in India. HCL is one
of the licensees for these reference designs, based on Via's processors and
chip sets, that will enable vendors to offer PCs priced at about $230,
according to Pradhan.
The PCs will be offered with Linux, although they will be certified to also
run Windows, according to Pradhan. By adding the Windows operating system
and office suite from Microsoft, the price of the PCs will more than double,
he added.
Microsoft expects that product value will, in the final analysis, prevail.
"We are committed to helping India bridge the digital divide, and making our
offerings more affordable is a key initiative to this end," said a
spokeswoman for Microsoft India. "In creating low cost products, we need to
ensure that there is no compromise in the value they offer," she added.

Re: [tech4all] 12 Reasons Why XML is hot!
If you have time, investigate XML-RPC. It is some great use of XML for
a client server function protocol. a more sophisticated system SOAP
exists, but is more complex. XML-RPC is simple, and usable.
