Slow while connecting to XINETD servers

  1. Check the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 first, then the file /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/eth0. If the service resolvconf is running, check /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail to make sure only 127.0.0.1 is listed as nameserver (named running on the localhost). Otherwise run the following commands to stop resolvconf then edit /etc/resolv.conf
    service resolvconf stop
    chkconfig --del resolvconf

  2. Add a reverse lookup zone for 192.168.1.0 to /etc/named.conf of the nameserver
    zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "reverse/named.intranet";
    };

    Then run the following command:
    service named restart

Completely disable internet explorer in windows

What I did is to start windows in safe mode and go to folder C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer then do the following steps:
  1. Rename IEXPLORE.EXE to IEXPLORE.EX_.
  2. Create a subfolder with name IEXPLORE.EXE.
  3. Restart windows in normal mode
This process is undoable.

Make Money plus SP1 update go through

Go to folder c:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles and double click on daupdate.exe without money opened. Let the update go threw and then reopen money.
If that doesn't work, try the daupdate.exe in the MNYCoreFiles.New folder.
