this is the first time i found something like this, when i’m going to install XP operating system on my computer. after “press any key to boot from CD ” menu then “inspecting hardware” notification showed, my monitor only give me a blank screen, like nothing happen.

it sucks! knowing have to face a problem that i never expected even i don’t know there is a problem that i/we will face when installation step. every time i install a new operating system it goes well, not like this one.

after checking all hardware on my box and i reassure that everything still working fine, i do cross checking the CD installation to another computer, well the CD still works too. so what the hell problem?? why it show me a blank screen when installation step??

here is the answer, the answer is still on the installation CD, my XP installation CD is do not have a SATA hardisk driver (my new computer using SATA hardisk). so i reburn a XP image that support SATA hardisk and the problem solved.

Sometimes when a new computer join a domain you will get this error

The current time on the computer and the current time on the network are different

this is because the clock on workstation is different from the time setting on the domain server. here is the step to solve this problem.

• Login as local administrator
• Open run and type ‘cmd’
• type ‘net use \\serverIP /user:serverUsername’
• type ‘net time /domain:domainName /set /y’
• type ‘net time \\serverIP /set /y’
• Log out, and you done.

that’s all, piece a cake isn’t it?

first you have to know that i’m a new guy at my office and yesterday my bos give me a problem, he told me to build a webserver,, ok, i know it easy, but when he told that my office using 2 different access point which is using different ISP and even he told that he didn’t know where is the access point position (my office have a large and number of building ) and of course it not connected one to another. so i ask my senior my office network topology, he said that he doesn’t, i try to ask him any information about the network he has no clue.so i face a dead end.

after asking, thinking and reading many articels i came whit some solution, here it is :

• of course adding a router will resolve the problem.
• using VPN also resolve the problem, but i need to configure gateway on both side.
• the easiest way n stupid one is using double interface on my webserver. so both user from 2 different subnet could connect.
