Free Domain and Host

I just created a sample website using free domain name and web host.

domain name : makoylabz.co.cc

web host (nameserver) : n1.0fees.net & n2.0fees.net

I can test my sample webpage using this free domain and host for my project. I will only purchase the premium account of 0fees.net if my site is working properly then I will purchase for my domain name from other sites.

Sometimes a free webhost is good (testing purposes only). But you must not always rely on free webhost/domain, because you are not guaranteed if your webpage is lost or deleted..

Cannot Connect to Wifi – User Credentials – Vista

I’m at an office and ask for their wifi password. I notice that there Wifi/router (Linksys Cisco) is WEP encrypted so not really secure. But the problem arise when my vista OS is asking for user Credentials (username , password , login domain ). so what I did was go to

1. Network and Sharing Center

2. Manage Wireless Network

3. Add

4. Manually create a network profile

5. Fill up Network Name. to see network name just view available network and you see the network name (I’ve been stuck here for 2 days, just for an error that i miss cased one letter on my network name. so be sure to it that network name are exact. CASE sensitive)

6. Security Type: WEP – you can also see the security type at view available network

7: Security Key: ****** note case sensitive again – Check the box if you want to display the security key you typed.

8. NExt

If done correctly.. you must be connected automatically

Ubuntu Random Freeze/Hang

I’m new in Linux and I found this following solution.

after I install ubuntu linux 10.04/10.10 the systems randomly hang after a few seconds or minutes. Computer hard reset is the only solution. But if you use the safemode mode the system will run normally and will not freeze/hang.

Solution:

The problem may be your video adapter (intel/nvidia)

1. Run in safemode.

2. Remove / Un-install your video driver. Go to Systems>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager (Enter you password)

3. Search for xserver-xorg-video-intel (mostly this problem occur on intel computers – hahahahaha)

4. Mark for Removal then Apply

5. Restart Computer and Log-in normally.

Hope this solves your problem….
