Configuring Virtual Server

One of my beloved blog reader ask me to show how to setup virtual server(sorry I'm late becoz no time to open blog ). The reason to setup virtual server is to:

• allow incoming request(http, ftp etc2) from outside to enter server located inside
• to allow specific request to reroute to appropriate server(in case 1 server host many services)

I will demonstrate how I did it using my Aztech DSL1000EW becoz my Aztech WL830RT4 is currently not in use.
Things we need is:

• Server itself. I'll use XAMPP as my webserver(apache) and inside, there's a index.html file which is target file I want to access.

• Proper connectivity to internet, obviously and router that has virtual server feature
• Your external IP address. To know your ext IP, visit HERE from your server
• Internal IP or IP address of the computer that will act as server

Procedures:

1. Install XAMPP, run Apache and make sure it works by visit localhost or 127.0.0.1(depends on your configuration though).

2. Ok. If that went fine, proceed to step 2-configure virtual server. As I mention earlier, I'll use DSL1000EW so the GUI will be a lil bit different but I guess the term/jargon will not so different between manufacturer and model ;)

• Access your gateway. For me it's 192.168.1.1. Enter username and password to continue login

• Search for virtual server funtion and press 'ADD'

• Select appropriate service(ftp, http, dns etc2). Whenever you select one service, router will automatically put port and protocol for you. So, for HTTP which uses port 80, router will enter 80 for external and internal port by default and TCP for the protocol. If you made any changes in webserver configuration(like port), feel free to edit the field or if you cannot find specific application, just enter it yourself the port.
• In the server IP address field, enter the internal IP address(IP address of the webserver) in my case, I'll use 192.168.1.2
  

• Click Apply/Save and you're done.
  

What we've done here is to command router to forward any HTTP packet it receives from outside to specified IP address that host the webserver. That's it.



Now, try access from another PC that using other external IP address. In my case, I'll access from same PC so I'm gonna use proxy website. Enter your server external IP address not internal IP address-this is where lot people do the mistake.

press enter, then...

...And..Voila!..It works!

Now, I've several tips to improve this virtual server thingy.
1. Using Dynamic DNS(DDNS). If you are using internet package with dynamic IP(like PPPOE), please consider to subscribe with DDNS provider like DYNDNS. For more provider and how to configure is outside of this post scope. Please visit: HERE

2. Again, use DDNS to make it easier for visitors to visit your site. To remember number like IP is difficult so by using DDNS, you can have your own FQDN like server1.dyndns.org

3. If the server is getting IP from DHCP, consider to manually specify IP. This is because, DHCP may(and may not) change IP of the server.

Alrite. Should you guys have any question, feel free to comment. I'll try my best to help you out.:)

Speedup Torrent Download Speed

Semester break is one of my favourite period becoz I can now watch movie collected or to be downloaded..harharhar. Talking about download, in this post I will share what I know and what I did to get optimal download speed especially for torrent downloading.

1. Buy a faster internet package

Rule of thumb. Get a wider bandwidth will give you higher speed. This is the simplest way but, you will need to fork out some money to get better and faster connectivity. Nothing is free in this world yo. Even you want to pee or poo also need moolah ok.

2. Portforwading
In torrenting world, this is the most common issue people talkabout. Do you know(whoa..is this some kind science teacher says or what) that, most OS and router have in-built firewall installed? Portforward is a technique used to forward data coming from certain port to internal host hence the name 'portforwarding'. Nowadays, most router have UPnP support you can utilize but for me, I always opt to manually forward a port. To learn more about portforwarding, go to this SITE.

typical port forward in Aztech DSL600EU router

3. Take alternatives
Some ISP might throttle your internet connection for their so called fair usage policy blablabla(this is true for my ISP tmNut). You can opt for 2 choices. 1, go ranting, yelling at their office or 2, buy yourself a virtual private network. Trust me..it worth it. I'm using bolehVPN.

The first time I tried it, there is significant(or..HUGE) differences. Before using vpn, my download speed is stucked at 10~30kBps so I suspect ISP is throttling my internet connection. Then, I subscribe for a VPN. Nah..picture worth thousand words. Download speed shoot to 106KBps(my limit)

4. Don't be Stingy

I've seen a lot of people cap their upload speed to almost halt. It's true that too much upload will cause your download suffer but you need to remember Peer-to-Peer like torrent works like using give-reward scheme. In laymen term, if other(B) send data to you(A) but you don't send anything back, (B) torrent client will not send anything to you next time.

I usually set my download speed 80% from total bandwitdh: 1Mbps*80%=819kbps/102KBps

For upload, I set 85% from total upstream: 384kbps*85%=40KBps

Well, this is my configuration for my internet speed. You might want to experiment with bandwidth limit thingy ;)

5. Torrent selection

If you found multiple torrent for similar file, choose torrent that have higher seeder that peer/leecher. This will increase your chance to get faster speed while download the file. Also, torrent client nowadays have this useful features where you can select what to and not to download(called selective download). Use this to select appropriate file(s) to download.

6. Increase TCP Max Half-Open Connection

To enable torrent client establish more connection to peers/seeders, you can set

net.max_halfopen found in(for uTorrent 2.0.4 client) Options --> Preferences --> Advanced.

But, before set value there,download a patch HERE to patch Windows XP halfopen maximum

value. Set anything in 50-100 range then set max_halfopen in uTorrent. Again, you may need

to experiment with the value though coz it may and may not improve your speed.

Aztech DSL600EU Firmware Update

Warning: This update is applicable for used in Malaysia only. I'm not responsible for any loss before/during/after the update process. But if it done pr

operly, I'm pretty sure the modem will work just fine.

Check your modem brand and model. If you are using Aztech modem and the hot & famous model DSL600EU (this is modem+router-USB), then check your firmware version. If not, can ignore this post..kekeke

Check modem firmware version:

1. Access your modem web-based management page. By default it's '192.168.1.1'. Both username and password by default is 'admin'

2. Find the product information. There, look for firmware version of the modem.

The latest as this post is written is '62.53.2'. So, if your modem firmware version is lower AND start with 38.xx.x, it's recommended to update the firmware.

Why update firmware?

+faster internet

+better web management

+more features(lan isolation, etc2)

Update firmware:

To begin, download the required firmware image at: HERE. Unzip it and inside you'll find a PDF regarding the update procedure. Follow the instruction properly.

I've updated my modem and this is the print screen of the new firmware:

Happy updating.

Pengalaman Berurusan Dengan TMnut

1st day: Apply pakej unipack ganti pakej sedia ada. Katanya 3 hari waktu bekerja kontraktor akan sampai.

After 2 weeks, kontraktor tak sampai2 jugak. Dah jelas janji2 palsu telah ditaburkan. Fine, aku terus serbu TMpoint.
Lepas menunggu >9000+ hari, baru ku tau contact number details merujuk kepada orang yang seriously aku tak kenal baik namany, no telefonnya.

Ape sebenarnya yang jadi ni? Ape punya sistem ni? Janji 3 hari tapi dah 13 hari tak setel2 jugak.

Kalau la ada syarikat lain yang dapat lesen menguruskan backbone internet Malaysia, leh jatuh tersungkur weh TMnut ni. Tapi thanks kepada monopoly, we(rakyat) have 2 stick wit tmnut bun___. Stick with slow,capped und unreliable connection.

Gone Android now..

Hello readers.

It's been quite some time I dont update anything in me blog. Bcoz dont have any idea or been busy with my study.

Anyway, as topic, now I'm officially migrate from Symbian OS to Android OS. Just bought Galaxy 5 as starting point and I quite like it. Feels comfortable in my hand even though it's quite small but that's ok. Just need some time to adapt.

Plus, even Facebook co-founder also gone Android this must be a good progress for Android OS to expand it territory since iOS(Apple) I think is already saturated.

Click picture to enlarge

Experience

So, my experience after using it for err...3 days. Like I said, it's quite interesting. I've been using Symbian OS for almost 5 years and now suddenly changing Android. Culture shock O.o

What I like most is the number of application you can direct download from Android Market. More than 100000 application you can choose. Try all you want till your phone out of memory. The market got free apps as well as paid apps too.

#1: Problem:- Can't log in to Android Market
The first time I want to login to Android Market, I get an error message something like;

"There is a temporary error or your sin card is not provisioned for data services"

So, I googled and stumble upon this website: Android Forum where a forummer suggest to do hard-reset phone(*2767*3855#) and it works. :)
More G5 Secret Code

#2: Software
There's a couple application I've tried and more to come. Below I think is the must-have-apps

ChompSMS - replace default messaging software. More intuative
Astro File Manager - file manager of course
Advanced Task Killer - task manager
Dolphing Browser - replace default Android browser. Support tabbed browsing
eBuddy - instant messenger
Abduction - interesting game. Uses accelerometer in-built.

Sources: 1 / 2

That's a little bit about my migration to Android. Will dig more what Android has to offer.

yo beb

yo!

Ask me anything

Lirik: Hafiz - Noktah Cinta

Ternyata semua bicaraku
Tersimpan di dalam hatiku
Ternyata semua soalanku
Tak pernah kau fikir di fikiran

Mengapa kau masih
Mencari kepastian dalam cinta
Dan disini masih
Menanti jawapannya

Chorus
Tuhan tolong nyatakanlah
Padanya tentang cinta
Adakah masih diriku di perlukan

Tuhan tunjukkan padanya
Tentang apa yang ku fikirkan
Adakah cinta ini
Perlu untuk dirinya
/Chorus

Berbicara tentang cinta kita
Masih tiada noktah penghujungnya
Berbicara tentang perasaan
Simpan saja semua itu

Mengapa kau masih
Mencari kepastian dalam cinta
Dan disini masih
Menanti jawapannya

Saya 'Suka' Berurusan Dengan...

Pejabat Kerajaan. Sebab ia 'besttt'. Kenapa saya kata ia 'best'?. Sebab..

1. Sistem online-nya selalu offline. Jika online pun, kepantasannya laju sedikit dari siput walaupun sebelum itu digembar-gemburkan sebagai sistem cepat, tangkas dan cekap bla3.

2. Operator telefonnya sentiasa busy..or busy-body? Or pergi makan pagi pada pukul 9.55am? Tinggallah mesin menjawab panggilan yang sentiasa sudi menemani pelanggan dengan kata-kata manis menusuk kalbu hingga ke tulang keting..

"Harap maaf. Semua pegawai kami sedang sibuk. Sila tunggu sebentar."

Oh, mesin tersebut juga sudi mengulang-ulang ayat yang sama tanpa henti sehinggalah anda yang meletakkan telefon dulu. Barangkali, rakyat Malaysia mesti sentiasa diingat-ingatkan.

3. Kerana perlu menunggu lama dengan telefon yang sudah pun melekap di telinga(telinga sudah kemerah-merahan ketika ini), bil telefon pun mulalah memanjang dengan dramatisnya.

4. Jika dapat bercakap dengan orang yang dikehendaki(jika bernasib baik sebenarnya), kita akan di 'pass' seperti bola baling. Tunggu masa nak digolkan je(sebenarnya tiada gol..hanya ada 'pass2' sehingga matahari mula terbenam).

5. Operator@pegawainya juga saya suka kerna selalu memberi arahan yang berlawanan antara satu sama lain. Mungkin juga mereka mempunyai gene2 wrestler dan sering wrestling di pejabat mereka?

6. Walaupun cuti sudah tamat dan pejabat mula dibuka, saya suka melihat suasana dipejabat kerana masing-masing masih di dalam mode bercuti. Tiada satu pun orang dikaunter untuk melayan pelanggan. Ya, anda boleh bergolek-golek sampai muntah hijau tanpa ada orang perasan.

7. Jika pun orangnya ada, tinggallah yang kerani2 dan sewaktu dengannya duduk termenung dalam ofis kerna semua pegawainya sedang sibuk bercuti bersama keluarga tercinta.

8. Juga, apabila berurusan dengan pejabat seperti ini, kita dapat belajar prosedur-prosedur remeh serta kadang-kala tidak masuk dek akal. Bagaikan memancing di kolam rumah. Ye, seperti itu kut. Juga tidak menjadi misi mustahil jika prosedur itu dapat membuat urusan anda tidak selesai walaupun telah 2 bulan berlalu.

Bak kata orang, "menghabiskan beras aja".

Noty2: 1st time duk makan semeja dengan cina dan india:D

Dan, 1st time juga tgk cina makan pakai tangan 0.o

Quest For A New Phone

Salam Ramadhan Al-Mubarak again. It's already 25th of Ramadhan. So quick eh? So, you guys has prepare for upcoming raya? As topic, in this post I would like to share the knowledge I learnt throughout my quest to get a new phone.

SETS
ORIGINAL

• It's from authorized distributors such as Zitron, Avaxx, T-Choice, FMG..yada2
• If any problem occurs during warranty period, you can send it back to any service centre..of course depends on the phone brand you bought
• Service centre will use genuine parts only
• Usually warranty period is 1 year and it covers full set(charger, hp, handsfree..)

How To Identify?

• Hp and other accessories must have authorized distributor sticker
• Check IMEI(*#06#). It must be same with sticker on the phone and package box

AP

• Stand for Approved Product
• Initially, it's made for outside markets, but has been brought in and sell it to customer
• Among the distributor is CSL, Nefion, Testra..yada2
• Phone user interface and OS version might be slightly different
  
• Usually the 1 year warranty only covers the phone itself. Accessories like battery, charger only get 1 month warranty
• If any problem occur in warranty period, you need to send to the place you bought the phone
• AP sets do pay government tax. It's only distributed by small time companies like stated above(if they goes bankrupt, haa..think for yourself)..

Water/Underwater

• Might be stolen product or
• Product brought in from outside and doesn't have SIRIM sticker on it

TOUCHSCREEN
There are two main type of touchscreen available which is Resistive and Capacitive

RESISTIVE

• Works by sensing a force applied on the screen hence the name RESISTive
  
• Can use anything (finger, fingernail, pen, pencel..etc) to point
• Touch sensitive can be set - but touch pressure is needed
• Cheap
• The screen usually using soft material thus prone to scratch.
  
• Need frequent calibration
• Cannot do multi-touch.
  

CAPACITIVE

• Human body is conductor. Touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the body's electrostatic field
• Only works by using conductor pointer
• Glass - more resistant to scratch and blemishes
• More expensive than resistive
• Can do multi-touch
• Very responsive - even a slight touch can trigger the sensor
