How To Wire Your Own CAT-5 CABLE

The images below depict the cable pin-outs for straight-through and cross-over Cat-5 Ethernet cables that conform to EIA/TIA industry standard for 568 A and B. IF the first and second pin are orange, the cable is 568B. If the first and second pins are green, the cable is 568A. If one end of the cable is A and the other end is B then you now have a cross-over.

CAT-5 Cross-Over Cable Pin Assignments

Symptoms associated with incorrect wiring include:

• No connectivity
• Radio not negotiating correctly
• Needing to be set to 10 Half Duplex (HDX) or 10 Full Duplex (FDX)
• Connectivity to the radio only at a very short distance

BOOT.INI

Windows (specifically Ntldr) uses the Boot.ini file to determine which operating system options to display when the Startup program is running. By default, Boot.ini is not flagged as a read-only system file and generally does not require any manual modification.

If you must change the contents of this file, use the System tool in Control Panel:

1. Click Start button, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

Typically, the Boot.ini file contains the following data:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt
[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt = "Windows NT" /NODEBUG C:\ = "Previous Operating System on C:\"

The following list describes the meaning of the data in the Boot.ini file:

• The "timeout" variable specifies how long Windows waits before choosing the default operating system.
• The "default" variable specifies the default operating system.
• The term "scsi(0)" means that the primary controller (that is frequently the only controller) is responsible for the device. If there are two SCSI controllers, and the disk is associated with the second controller, the controller is named "scsi(1)".
  
  If the system uses IDE, enhanced IDE (EIDE), or Enhanced Small Device Interface (ESDI) drives, or if the system uses a SCSI adapter that does not have a built-in BIOS, replace "scsi" with "multi".
• The term "disk(0)" refers to the SCSI logical unit (LUN) to use. This may be a separate disk, but most SCSI setups have only one LUN for each SCSI ID.
• The term "rdisk(0)" refers to physical disk 1.
• The term "partition(1)" is the partition on the first drive in the computer. If there are two partitions, partition C is partition(1) and partition D is partition(2).
• A multi-boot parameter calls for checking the Winnt folder to start from a specified SCSI controller's disk and partition.
• "/NODEBUG" specifies that no debugging information is being monitored. Debugging information is useful only for developers.
• You can add the /SOS option to display driver names while the drivers are being loaded. By default, the OS Loader screen only shows progress dots.
• "Previous Operating System on C:\" implies that the "previous operating system" is MS-DOS, because "C:\" is an MS-DOS path.

NTLDR

NTLDR 

(abbreviation of NT loader) is the boot loader for all releases ofWindows NT operating system up to and including Windows XP andWindows Server 2003. NTLDR is typically run from the primary hard disk drive, but it can also run from portable storage devices such as aCD-ROM, USB flash drive, or floppy disk. NTLDR can also load a non NT-based operating system given the appropriate boot sector in a file.

NTLDR requires, at the minimum, the following two files to be on thesystem volume:

• ntldr, the main boot loader itself
• NTDETECT.COM, required for booting an NT-based OS, detects basic hardware information needed for successful boot

An additional important file is boot.ini, which contains boot configuration (if missing, NTLDR will default to \Windows on the first partition of the first hard drive).

NTLDR is launched by the volume boot record of system partition, which is typically written to the disk by the Windows FORMAT or SYScommand.

Basics of telnet

Basics of telnet

Learning Telnet

::Don't use this for illegal stuff::

Introduction:
Telnet is used to connect to remote machines through emulation. This means that
it can connect to a server, any server instantly because of it's ability to emulate (copy)
remote computers.

Lets Start:
In Windows, Telnet can be found by going to Start -> Run and then typing telnet.
The application should then pop up. If you don't have Windows, there are many Telnet alternatives for mac, linux etc. Since I don't know any,search the internet for Telnet for Linux or Telnet for Mac and you should find something instantly.

If you have a PC and are using Windows 98/95, 2000, Me, or XP continue...

As you can see, Telnet has 4 menu options. These are Connect, Edit, Terminal, and Help.

If you click Connect, you should see more options. Here they are.

Connect:
Remote System..
Disconnect
Exit

Names of servers you have been on.

To connect to a server, click Remote System...
This will then take you to a dialog box that has these fields:

Hostname: 
Port:
TermType:

There should also be a Connect button and a Cancel Button.

Lets go over these & what you should put in them.

-Hostname-

The Hostname can be the address of the website your going to be connecting to:
http://www.google.com
or it can be the IP address. Keep in mind that you can only connect to servers and not to clients (other PCs)
an IP Address looks like this: 64.233.167.99

-Port-
Port can bb either the port number you wanna connect to on the server (Port 80 is the Internet, Port 23 is Simple Mail Protocol then there are some more ports for different things..) 
or you can keep it Telnet and see what happens.

-TermType-
TermType is the type of Terminal telnet will be acting like.
This doesn't matter most of the time, so you can keep it to default or try other ones if you want.

When you have all this set up, you can Click Connect & see what happens.

Note: Sometimes many servers don't like anon people just logging on, so be careful when logging onto servers, because sometimes it might be some big company that likes bullying people or just SOMEONE who likes bullying people and then they might want to find you or trace you or something and I know for a fact you don't need that happening.

Another Note: When you go to a server and type something, such as a login name or a password, you might not see anything even though you are typing. this is a feature that telnet or the other server uses. It's for some kind of safety measure.

Ok that's all for the Connect Menu, lets go over the Terminal menu. 

The terminal menu should have 3 options:

Prefernces
Start Logging
Stop Logging.

-Prefernces-
If you go to this, a dialog box will come up with various options. Here, you can change the
text color & background color of the program, and you can enable Local Echo, which shows
you everything you've typed, Blinking cursor if you want the cursor to blink check it, if not un check, Block cursor if you want the cursor to be shown as a block, VT100 Arrows, don't worry about these they are useless, Buffer Size, this allows you to set the number of lines of text you want to be shown before the screen starts to scroll, The Terminal emulation type, always have this set on the default unless you know what the second one is and you know what your doing.

-Start Logging-
This logs everything you do on Telnet in a log file on your computer.

-Stop Logging-
This will stop logging processes.

Well that's it for basics of telnet. Thanks for reading.
