You can use the PING utility included with
Windows to determine the “real” IP address of a web site. Before using
this utility, make sure you are not mapping a host name to some IP
address with HostName Commander, because if you do, the PING utility
will show the address you’ve set up with HostName Commander, instead of
the “real” IP address.
To run the PING utility, click on the Windows Start button, and choose Run
from the Start Menu. If you use Windows 95,98, or Me, enter “command”
(without the quotes) as the command line to run. If you use Windows
XP,2000, or NT, enter “cmd” (again, without the quotes). Click OK and
the command prompt window should appear on the screen.
Now enter the word “ping” (without the quotes)
followed by a space, followed by the host name you want to determine the
IP address of, and press Enter:
In this example, the IP address of the host name www.rkgit.edu.in is 74.52.201.2 & IP Address of the host name www.kiet.edu is 220.225.19.55
. (Keep in mind that the IP address may change in the future!). If the
PING utility reports an error, make sure your computer is connected to
the Internet when you are running it.

One problem people seem to have with installing Linux is the
fact you have to download an .iso, and then burn it to a CD. While
burning an .iso to a CD is not hard, unless you are into it, or have
done it before, it can be confusing. That is, assuming you have a CD
drive, CD burner, and spare CDs. Not to mention with some Windows CD
burning programs, it’s not exactly obvious how to properly burn an
.iso.To solve this Debian and Ubuntu are now offering a downloadable
Windows .exe file that will install Linux while you are running Windows.
The Ubuntu one apparently will do all it’s automatic, non-destructive
partition magic (meaning it will make your system dual boot with both
Windows and Linux without hurting the Windows OS).
The Debian installer can be found on goodbye-microsoft.com, and the Ubuntu one doesn’t seem like it’s ready, but you can read about it on the wiki page.
I don’t see myself using this as I tend to build my own servers (and
use Mac on the desktop). However, I can see this being very useful for
systems that come with Windows pre-installed and you want Linux instead.
In my experience, a Debian or Ubuntu CD is only used to boot the
system anyway. Once a network is found all the software is loaded live
over the net via apt-get so this removes the first step being local (and
limits some waste). Very cool.

Surfing at school? Parents enabled website blocking?
Stuck behind a strict firewall? There are lots of ways around the
problem so that you can get to the sites you want to see without those
cybernannies tying your hands…
phproxy
is “dedicated to bringing
you fast web browsing from behind web filters”. Simply tap in the URL of
that banned site you really must see, it could be Facebook, MySpace,
Youtube, or a renegade blogger behind enemy lines, and you will be able
to access it with no problems. More seriously, the proxy allows you to
visit a site anonymously because it is the proxy itself that is visiting
the banned site not you, and so keeps your browsing hidden from prying
eyes allowing you to protect your online identity.
Such a proxy also allows you to visit sites that have
banned your IP. This might be a forum or just a website or blog from
which you or other users on your IP range (whether on your school or
company network or your ISP account) have been barred access. The proxy
server is an open gateway between your web destination and you.
Other proxies exist, such as www.the-cloak.com (please make sure you include the hyphen in that URL or you will be in for a shock), and this page provides a shipload more.
More on an additional approach (Psiphon) here – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psiphon
Of course, we should add a disclaimer at this point,
please don’t use proxies or anonymizers to break the law or to cause
malice and please don’t abuse the service as they are usually free.

Administrator password can be broken by
replacing sam file in system32\config by the sam file in repair folder
of windows. it can be easily done on a machine with dual operating
systems, simply log on to os other then the one whoes password is to be
cracked the way is exactly same as written above but if there is a
single os on a machine then there is only one way i.e to use ms dos
start up disk or some other boot disk and replace the sam file in config
folder with the one in repair folder
note:- this method works only if hard drive is FAT32 formatted because NTFS drive does’nt take boot from Ms DOS
This way you can remove the old administratOr password as if the windows is newly installed and the password was’nt set
