Multiple Clocks in Vista’s Taskbar

by certifiedbug on October 4, 2007

in Windows OS

Did you know that Windows Vista allows three clocks to be accessed from the taskbar. Pretty handy if you would like to keep an eye on different time zones, especially when travelling and working from a laptop.

I have mentioned vista4beginners before, and link from the sidebar under ‘Vista’. They really do have great tutorials and not just for beginners.

Securing a Wireless Network

by certifiedbug on August 22, 2007

in Internet Security

Recently I upgraded to a new router and experienced problems configuring it to work in harmony with my XP and Vista machines; resolved by installing another router by a different vendor and upgrading Intel drivers.

Then it was time to reconfigure the security settings, which is when I saw Corrine over at the Security Garden had blogged “Steve Lamb of Microsoft created this 5 part series on securing a Wireless network.”

Part 1: Enabling WPA on a wireless router
Part 2: How to change the SSID
Part 3: Reconfiguring a Vista client to connect to your WPA secured access point
Part 4: Connect using WPA for the first time on Windows Vista
Part 5: Connecting using WPA for the first time on XP

Useful series complete with videos, helpful to those who prefer a visual guide.
