ReganRajan.com website is down?

Hi,

I am currently moving my web from ASP to PHP server. First reason for doing that: my free ASP host is no longer ad-free host, they force my web to include their advertisement which I strongly against because why must my web have their ads although I can get an ad-free host?

Second reason for the migration: previously companies used to see ASP web as a professional web but now days the companies themselves impress with the capability of PHP to fight against ASP as PHP is open source and a lot of development happening in PHP. This is not a joke, true that PHP is being well accepted by these professional companies. Somehow, from my point of view, PHP cannot beat the capability of ASP.NET although it win against the classic ASP.

My web should be up as soon as the migration process finish. Meanwhile my website reganrajan.com will be redirected to this blog.

Bye bye ASP, hello PHP!

Thank you.

Easy way to download FLV

Hi all,

FLV is popular video format now days, and what do i wish most? To download these FLV rather than watch it online because the hosting server won't play the video stable and will keep buffering (will irritate me actually!)

I happen to use few different websites to grab the flv file url and download it using Free Download Manager. The download speed will be far better and satisfying. I will happily watch the FLV once the download is complete. And this time the video won't buffer anymore and plays just fine :)

Happy moment starts!

Buy hey, rather than depend on different websites to grab the FLV file, it would be heaven if I found one single tool to download the FLV in easy way. And i found my heaven :) I mean found the tool, Internet download manager does the magic.

I downloaded and installed it, when I surf to watch movie any website that plays FLV video file, I can just right-click on the website and select "Download FLV content using IDM" and it will force the FLV url to be sent to Internet Download Manager, the FLV file will be downloaded by IDM right away.

If you don't believe, try it yourself. But IDM is not a free software and so far I did not manage to find any crack for it. The version that I downloaded is 5.12 Build 8.

Crack or Hack MS Access password

Hi all,

Recently I installed a software that runs with MS Access tables on back-end of the application. I wanted to enter the database so i can change some absolute values. I googled and hey, I found the right tool: Advanced Access Password Recovery v2.5

I downloaded it and it was a trial version. It showed first 3 character of the password. I was happy with it and decided to crack the software to get full feature to view complete password of any MS Access database. And the crack is just a serial number and hey, once again I was happy to see the crack was successful and able to view the complete password and I edited some values inside the database.

I strongly recommend you to have : Advanced Access Password Recovery v2.5 tool to hack/crack any MS Access Password Protected databases!

Have a nice day all.

A mess with FileSystemObject (ASP class)

Hi all,

Already, here is the latest mess with FileSystemObject. It is a class component that ASP has by default. But recently when i found freeASPupload tool from freeASPupload.com. The tool worked fine as i wanted on my office PC, company server, and private server. When i execute the script onmy localhost, it returned error "Invalid class string" at the first line where the FileSystemObject class being use.

I did google up for solution but no luck, most of them was talking about the basic component DLL registry. Until recently i saw a post that highlighted the permission issue for FileSystemObject. And hey! It solved my problem.

I write this blog so the others who facing same silly problem as me can get the solution.

Here is the solution:
==================================
open regedit.exe (or run "regedit" / "regedt32")
go to this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scripting.File SystemObject
right click and choose Permissions...
set permission as follow:
. users read
. system full read
. power read
. creator owner
. admin full read
or see neighbor's permission of this key and do as them
Make sure the Internet User account has full permission.
==================================

Tadaaaa, your problem should be now solved. If this did not solve your problem, then better you google up for solution because you might be having critical problem such as missing the basic DLL files.

Connect Wireless Maxis Broadband to wireless router

Hi all,

It seems like i only blog once a month (but not even once on December 2007). Maybe because I am busy with my work and not much of free time to blog my experience.

Connecting broadband to wireless router is not something new. Everyone can do it. This is because wireless router are designed to detect the wired broadband connect PPPoE and other types of broadband connection. But bringing this to the next step, connecting the Maxis Wireless broadband to wireless router was a nice experience for me as it wasn't as easy as ABC (maybe as hard as XYZ).

Wireless router normally has 4 port for PC and one port for Internet or modem. The HSDPA modem that provided by Maxis when you purchase has all the setting pre-installed as it detect the unique identity of user through the SIM card attached to the modem. This is a HSDPA connection. You can access the internet through HSDPA connection. This means the internet is in plug-and-plug form. And when you try to plug-and-play it with wireless router, it will return dumping you back with no internet connection. And now the logic explanation for this is Wireless Router is not smart enough to identify the HSDPA connect because it do not have any HSDPA function build-in with it.

How to overcome this? How to successfully fix your wireless broadband to wireless router?

Now the answer for the puzzle, as i mentioned earlier wireless router is not smart to detect the HSDPA internet connection, so why must we plug in to the internet port? The wireless router can just work like a wireless hub/switch. This refers to a situation where the wireless router will assign IP to the PC users automatically to each of the PC connected to the wireless router through the 4 PC ports.

This is where the puzzle being solved, plug in the Maxis Wireless Broadband HSDPA modem into PC port 1 of the wireless router. Don't use the internet/modem port of the wireless router.

So, the Maxis Wireless Broadband HSDPA modem will be in PC port 1 and you may connect other PCs to the other 3 ports available in the router.

Now, go to the wireless router setting page which normally will be http://192.168.1.1

In there, set the default IP address for the wireless router to be http://192.168.0.2 and restart the wireless router.

Then go to the new setting page of the modem through address http://192.168.0.2 and set the DHCP server to active and the IP pool can be from 192.168.0.3 until 192.168.0.255 (use small pool for better performance based on how many users will be connected to the wireless router).

Don't restart the router first. Look in the DHCP server setting, you will find a setting space for Primary DNS and Secondary DNS. Set 192.168.0.1 into the Primary DNS field and save it. Then restart the router.

Taadaaa! Surprisingly you are done! Now your Maxis HSDPA modem connected to the wireless router.

You can now just go to the wireless router setting page http://192.168.0.2 and set your wireless network name and security protections which you will normally do when you connect the wireless router to wired broadband. Restart your router once you done with the basic settings.

You can see your network name appear in the wireless network list and click it to get connected with Internet-Ready through Maxis Wireless Broadband HDSPA(or 3.5G)

I experienced this situation and this solution really worked for me. Drop me an email for further advises if you ever face this situation.

Have a nice day all!

Wireless LAN USB Adapter connecting at 11mbps instead of 54mbps or higher

Ok, the title of this post might sound like a question. But i am not asking the question instead i am going to answer it.

Alright, recently i bought Aztech Wireless Router for RM100. It supports speed up to 54mbps. When i put it live, my laptop WLAN can detect it and connect at speed of 54mbps. While i tried to connect it to some desktop PC through Aztech Wireless LAN Adapter (USB). To my supprise that the connection speed is not connected at 11mbps.  But the real speed capability of my WLAN adapter is 54mbps. So, this is the puzzle.

I have heard of this problem since earlier of this month when one of my uncle complained having the same situation as this. Now, i am the one in this situation. I love IT, so what i should do?!? Yes, just GOOGLED it out ! And yea, i found the solution.

It's very simple reason actually. connected the USB adapter to USB port in my desktop PC, but that USB port version is only 1.1 which do not support high speed as USB 2.0. This problem solved easily when i plug the adapter into USB v2 port and able to get connected at 54mbps.

If you don't know which port are USB v1.1 and which are USB v2, then try plugging in the adapter in each and every port that you have until you get connected at 54mbps.

If you still do not get connected at that speed, that means none of your USB ports are version 2.0. You must get USB v2 card and install it to your PC. That is the only option that you have if you are stubborn to get 54mbps speed.

ASP: Response.redirect (stupid function)

Hi all,

Most of ASP programmers should know that response.redirect() works fine and it is our primary option to redirect pages from one to another. But the sad story behind this function is that, it cannot be used after the server published the content to client side.

For example,
If i put

1. response.write "Hi"
   [the content generated in server]
   
   
2. response.write "Hi"
   response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
   [the content Hi is still generated by server and keep without sending to client side. Then why we write the content 'Hi' if the server do not publish it to client side? but redirects straight to somewhere.asp]
   
   
3. response.write "Hi"
   response.flush
   response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
   [the content will be published to client side. And followed by error "The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content." That is right, the header already send to the client and how to redirect now?]
   

After googling, i found alternative function: server.transfer "somewhere.asp?act=action". But if you intent to use this function, you can't post the variables which i wanted to post "act=action".

Alright, here is the fix!

Keep aside the stupid(limited) asp script and get down to highly responsive Javascript. When ASP and Javascript is put together, the magic will happen.

This is not my own idea but the idea was contributed someone in forums when i googled around. So the credit all goes to him.

As we all know,
ASP: response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
is equal to
Javascript: window.location.href = "somewhere.asp?act=action";

Agree?

If you agree, you found the fix already :)

Now lets write down this in our asp page,

1. response.write "Hi"
   response.flush
   response.write "<script>window.location.href = 'somewhere.asp?act=action';script>"
   

Tadaaaa!

ASP + Javascript = Magic

It is true, the magic happen for my case.

Thats all.

Oh ya, my next post will be about Maxis Broadband (Wireless) which said to be using 3.5G technology (HSDPA). For those who don't know the meaning of HSDPA, here is it, "High-Speed Downlink Packet Access". I will be testing the broadband today evening and implementing it to Aztech Wiress Router tomorrow at my father's office. Excited to surf using 3.5G for the first time.

Have a nice day!
