Login To Same Site With Multiple Account Using Firefox

LOGIN TO SAME SITE WITH MULTIPLE ACCOUNT USING FIREFOX   
Once you may have desired to login to same site with multiple usernames. This time you want to do something nasty, or increase your productivity in a forum. Your basic techie mind will say to open the entire installed browsers and also enable private browsing for each of them.
   For example, open Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet explorer all at once and login to the site with different user name from each browser. You’ll be able to use 3 usernames. Again open private browsing and login to the same site with another 3 new usernames. This time you’ll have 6 user logins in same site.
You might be quite familiar with the above trick but the main drawback is – you’ll lose your processing power since 3 browsers are working actively. And this might not be practical to you if you have low system specs.
   But with some extension added to Firefox, you can do it all in one browser.Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously! For example, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you can open them all at the same time. Each Firefox window, managed by Multifox, accesses an account without interfering each other.
Let’s have a try to Multifox.
   To install Multifox add-on in your Firefox, go to Multifox Homepage and click onInstall Extension button. Be sure that you are browsing from Mozilla Firefox (not Firefox 4 Beta). Multifox is not supported in Firefox 4 Beta versions.
Install it as you do with other Firefox Extensions, for more clarification see the image steps below:

Swarms of flying robots could act as a mobile wireless network

Swarms of flying robots could act as a mobile wireless network
   Sometimes the aftermath of a natural disaster is just as bad as the disaster itself, as the rescue teams on the ground can face a stiff challenge when it comes to communicating with the outside world and one another. Of course, our favorite problem solvers are here to help: tiny flying robots.

The project comes from Swiss-based lab EPFL, and involves a swarm of micro air vehicles that will fly over a disaster site in a holding pattern. The flying 'bots themselves will act as an ad hoc network, allowing rescue workers to use their phones and computers and the like.
The best part of it all could be how easy the SMAVNET — or Swarming Micro Air Vehicle Network — is to set up. To take off, all they need is one person to chuck them into the air, and they're light enough that several can be carried at once. When the project is done, the swarm lands, making it as mobile as rescue workers need to be.
Check it out in the video below:

Use Windows 7 to create a Wi-Fi network without using router

Use Windows 7 to create a Wi-Fi network without using router    
        If you have got Wi-Fi in your laptop and have Windows 7 installed in it then you can easily turn it into a Wi-Fi hotspot and share your net connection with other people in the range and Virtual Router is the easiest way to do so.
      Virtual Router is an open source software which leverages the Wireless Hosted Network API which is a part of the new Windows Operating Systems (Windows 7 and Windows server 2008).
       The program is really simple to use. After downloading and installing the software all you have to do is specify the network name and password to access this network. It uses theWPA-2 encryption to protect the wireless network from unwanted users.
     The program requires only 20mb of RAM and is pretty simple to understand and use. Requires Windows 7 or Windows server 2008 to run.
       Download Virtual Router | Virtual Router homepage

Sharing Internet Connection using WiFi (Windows XP)

Sharing Internet Connection using WiFi (Windows XP)
      Here is the situation, you have two (or more) laptops (or PC) with WiFi capabilities. You don't have any router, switch, hub, or whatsoever. Just a single Internet port enough for one of your computer. Don't be worry, because you still can share the Internet connection by using ad-hoc network.

First, you need to pick one of those computers as a "server". Connect it to the Internet using the usual way. Next, open Control Panel>Network and Internet Connections>Network Connections. Open the Wireless Connection Properties. Change tab to Wireless Networks then click Add... button. Under theAssociation tab, input your Network Name as you like. Clear the The key is provided for me automatically check box and select the This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network check box. Fill in the Network Key along with the confirmation with a 13-digit password and then press OK. Press OK once again to close the dialog box. Now you have finished with the first computer.

Use Remote Desktop while on a Dynamic IP Address


Use Remote Desktop while on a Dynamic IP Address
There are many services out there that let you access your computer from anywhere in the world. There is GotomyPC, and LogMeIn just to name a couple.
There is however a free workaround for this- all you need is a free No-IP.com account, and the Remote Desktop application on your Windows PC.
The problem is, most users have a Dynamic IP address with their ISPs- which means it’s always changing and not permanent. This causes problems because you won’t always know what your IP address is in order to connect to your machine over Remote Desktop.
If you had a Static IP, it would be much easier since the number is permanent and never changes.
Here’s the work around:

Internet Connection Sharing with Windows XP


Internet Connection Sharing with Windows XP
This trick shows you how to share your internet connections on multiple computers within a workgroup with Windows XP. Windows XP has a built-in feature that called "Internet Connection Sharing" (ICS) that allows home users to share their internet connections on multiple computers.
If you are not familiar with the network configurations, the easiest way to share your internet connection is to purchase a router or hub. Use this trick only if you don't have a router, or don't want to use a router, or if you just want to try out the feature.
A simple way to understand this feature is, you are making your host computer (the computer directly connects to the internet) functioning as a router for other computers.

What do you need?

  • A "Host" computer that running Windows XP. This computer must have at least TWO (2) network adapters. One adapter - let's call it "Adapter #1" - connects to the internet and another, "Adapter #2", connects to a hub or directly to other computers.
  • Client computer(s), which run any version of Windows. A client computer can be connected to the host computer directly by a cross-over cable or indirectly through a hub.
  • This trick assumes that the host computer is connected to the internet and you are able to access the internet on this computer.





  1. Logon the host computer as Administrator.
  2. Click Start >> Control Panel.
  3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
  4. Click Network Connections.
  5. Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the internet (the connection with Adapter #1). This connection can be either a high-speed internet connection or a dial-up connection.
  6. Click Properties.
  7. Click Advanced tab.
  8. Under Internet Connection Sharingselect the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.
  9. If you are sharing a dial-up Internet connection, select the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box if you want to permit your computer to automatically connect to the Internet.
  10. Click OK. You'll reieve the following message:
    When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use IP address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, it is a good idea to set them to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable Internet Connection Sharing?
  11. Click Yes.


    Configure the Client Computer(s)
    To use the shared connection from the Host computer, a client computer must be configured with "Automatic IP address". The main configurations are:
    1. Configure TCP/IP Automatic IP
    2. Configure Internet Connection
    The steps for the above two configurations are vary on different versions of Windows.
    The following procedures are for Windows XP client computers.
    1. Log on to the client computer as Administrator or as Owner.
    2. Click Start >> Control Panel.
    3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
    4. Click Network Connections.
    5. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
    6. Click the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items list, and then click Properties.
    7. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Obtain an IP address automatically (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.

    8. Click Start >> Control Panel
    9. Click Network and Internet Connections.
    10. Click Internet Options.
    11. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Connections tab.
    12. Click the Setup button. The New Connection Wizard starts.
    13. On the Welcome to the New Connection Wizard page, click Next.
    14. Click Connect to the Internet, and then click Next.
    15. Click Set up my connection manually, and then click Next.
    16. Click Connect using a broadband connection that is always on, and then click Next.
    17. On the Completing the New Connection Wizard page, click Finish.
    18. Exit Control Panel and test the internet. You might need to restart the computer.

Disable XP login prompt


Disable Windows XP login prompt for password  
     This trick will show you how to bypass the login prompt in Windows XP with your "local account". Yes, it's only applied for local user accounts.
Most home users would love this trick. It allows you to bypass the login prompt on Windows startup and go straight to your desktop without a login.
This Windows XP feature is pretty cool in case the machine is mostly used by a single user. Is's kindda annoying when you're the only one using the pc and you have to login everytime, isn't it?
          
              1. From Desktop, click on "Start">> "Run"
              2. Then type in "control userpasswords2" and press Enter.

              3. Uncheck the box for "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"


              4. Click "Apply" and  "Ok"
