  • How can I activate telnet in Windows XP Professional?

    I've seen several references to XP Professional with a built-in telnet server and the 'help and support' section seems to indicate that as well, but I darn if I can find detailed instructions on how the hell activate you it after 20 minutes of Googling to pages with forums and ask the same question, people usually being will have a link to the technet database. I tried to look for it, but kept getting instructions for Server 2003 who say to test with telnet in XP command line control.

    I want just a less cumbersome way to stop my main computer of the notebook on the cable network (in my room, the computer and I have a fake ethernet cable so I can access it from the bed I have wireless at home). I want to try telnet as it is less involved than remote desktop, and I can't do 'shutdown m \\slickswintel' at work (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/how-do-i-use-the-shutdown-command-to-shut-down/645a45ee-d964-4f87-8c7e-98f446332c0e).

    I thought I'd try to telnet. If I can limit the 192.168.1.X subnet traffic security concerns shouldn't be a problem. Yes, I am well aware of the limitations and why Telnet has been replaced by SSH. It would be a problem if I was trying to participate via the internet, rather than an inTRAnet of small LAN home network with a router/switch device that manages the internet gateway.

    Could someone, give me a link to instructions for XP Professional? I don't even remember if I ever tried to set up telnet on Windows what it (server or workstation, even if it's a piece of cake to put in place under Linux (and SSH is simple too).

    My goal is to turn off the computer from across the room without getting up from the bed, so I can stick this laptop on the bedside table and to sleep with as little hassle as possible.

    When I put my memory card in the computer, it does not even recognize that something is there? How can I get my computer to read?

    If you have read never managed a map upper memory to 1 GB (or perhaps 2 GB), the chances are very high that the problem is that your computer has a memory card reader that is too old to read the new SDHC cards (4 GB and more).  In this case, you will need to purchase an external card reader.  They are not very expensive.  For example--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=4024&IsNodeId=1&Description=memory%20card%20reader%20usb&name=%240%20-%20%2410&Order=BESTMATCH

  • How can I print my Microsoft Surface running Windows 8 RT?

    How can I print my Microsoft Surface running Windows 8 RT?

    Most new wireless printers have an impression of the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT problem.  Everything you need to make these printers is tell them to print and they will.  Older wireless, Ethernet and USB printers should not have driver officially supported in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printer working.  There are different requirements depending on how the printer is connected to the Surface.

    Note: All the steps below are only for other HP ink Jet, DeskJet, PhotoSmart and OfficeJet printers.  These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers.  These steps may not work for all inkjet printers.  If these steps do not work, try different drivers in the list until you find the one that works (you'll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below).  If none of the drivers work, your printer does not work with the Surface.

    For (Ethernet or wireless) network printers, all you need is Surface keyboard or a USB keyboard to connect to the Surface.  It is simply what you have to type more easy to type.  You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.

    1. From the right edge, drag your finger to the left on the screen Surface to appear charms bar.
    2. Press search.
    3. Under the search box, tap Settings.
    4. In the search box, type devices and printers.
    5. Press devices and printers.
    6. Contact add a printer.
    7. Tap "my printer is not listed.
    8. Select the TCP/IP option and then press Next.
    9. Enter the IP address of the printer and press Next.  Note: You can get this from the network printer, or list DHCP in your router Configuration Page.
    10. The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it.  Installation fails, and the Surface will be asked what you want to do, look on the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    11. Press 'I want to choose from a list of drivers.
    12. If no driver is in the list, make sure that the box next to 'Show compatible drivers' is not checked.
    13. Choose HP in the production list.
    14. Choose driver DeskJet PCL 3 class in the list of drivers.  If this driver does not work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the driver Officejet PCL 3.  (Thanks JonW for letting me know about these other alternates.) )
    15. Press Next.
    16. Tap Finish.
    17. Test print.

    For USB connected printers, need you a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
    2. Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
    3. Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install.  If she go to step 14 below.
    4. From the right edge, drag your finger to the left on the screen Surface to appear charms bar.
    5. Press search.
    6. Under the search box, tap Settings.
    7. In the search box, type Device Manager.
    8. Press Device Manager.
    9. Tap view and select Show Hidden.
    10. Search for the printer in Device Manager.  It should be in the other devices section with a yellow warning next to her sign.
    11. Select the printer in the list.
    12. Press Action.
    13. Update driver to touch or to install any what it displays.
    14. The Surface will ask you what you want to do, look on the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    15. Press 'I want to choose from a list of drivers.
    16. If no driver is in the list, make sure that the box next to 'Show compatible drivers' is not checked.
    17. Choose HP in the production list.
    18. Choose driver DeskJet PCL 3 class in the list of drivers.  If this driver does not work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the driver Officejet PCL 3.  (Thanks JonW for letting me know about these other alternates.)  )
    19. Press Next.
    20. Tap Finish.
    21. Test print.
