Information on BGP For The Rest Of Us
Posted by on March 3, 2008
Useful (if starting from an unrelated point) blog post on how companies deploy BGP – for people who don’t normally need to know this kind of stuff – I see a fair few organisations use it for providing network/carrier resilience at the network edge.
Detailed networking isn’t my field but you always need to know enough to get by and bring in the experts when you are out of your depth or doing something complicated.
How to stop Terminal Services Clients Beeping!
Posted by on March 3, 2008
This always annoys me, when I connect my laptop via the MSTSC terminal services client it always beeps at logon; if it did this via the onboard sound card on my laptp that would be fine as typically it’s always muted when I’m in the office/on a client site as it’s annoying.
However it seems to use the system board loud default beep – and ignores the mute setting on my laptop and this always seems to affect VMWare workstation Win2003 VM’s at logon too – which is doubly annoying as I use them a lot.
so, for reference this kills it off permanently – I can’t really think of any situations where I’d need it to beep – especially not at a volume that totally ignores my chosen settings!
C:Windowssystem32>sc config beep start= disabled
