an aged client

Today I had a bit hard time.You may imagine that I had technical trouble in my job as a network engineer.But it was not the case. I can call it human error. As usual, I was asked to set up the internet connection by a client.He is an old doctor. His office is placed close to his house.He subscribes ADSL line, the connector is attached in the dining room, while his office has no RJ11 connector led to ADSL line.The client uses the PC in his office where he saw his patients.Of course, it requires the wireless connection in order to connect to the internet on his PC.So I set the wireless router with ADSL modem in the dining room. Two sites are far away from each other. I was afraid it happened that the wireless connection could not be established. But there was no problem.After setting, when I was going back to my office, I recieved a call from my office, which said that the client made a call to my office, complained that he could not see the web site. and he also said that he got something I left in his house. Wondering what I left in his house, I made a call to him.THe clinet “Come back again right now, I have a trouble in my PC.”Me “I see. but I heard I left something in your house, would you tell me what it is? ”The client “That's like a card. something you have attached to my PC. I think it is yours. You have to come back to get it back.”Me　“Excuse me, sir. that's yours. as I explained, the wireless run card is used to connect to the internet. Unless you use it, you can not see the web site. ”The client “OK, I understood. ”Me “I suppose since you have removed the device from the PC, you cannot browse the web site.”The client “Oh, I see. but if you use the card port for the device, I cannot stab another card.”Me“Do you have to use another PCI card?”The client “Yes, I do for the digital camera connection ”Me “Well, I suppose your PC has two PCI card slots, so you can use both.”THe client “No. the wireless card has a projection on one side, so I cannot stab another.”Me “Well, I have no choice but to go back to your house, and see what it happens. Please wait 15 minutes or more.”On the line, I could not solve this complicating(?) problem, I had to return. Of course, as you know, it was solved in no time after my arrival.When the wireless card is slotted into the upper with a projection side upward, the other card is attached to the lower, we could make it!

Network setting in my house

I'll introduce my home network setting today.I mainly use win Me, and win 2003 server for data storage and back-up.My win 2003 server is on Express 5800 NEC, while Me is on laptop machine.I use this Me-laptop on the desk.(note, which does't mean that I use laptop PC on the desktop machine!)My win 2003 has no console monitor, so, as you may know, I installed Remote Desk Top client software on win Me, and console win 2003 on it.In addition, I want to place the server machine in other room, since it is making a big noise.There is some reasons why I use this setting.First, my win Me sometimes gets out of order, hang up, so I feel anxious about when it will crash and all the data on it will vanish! That's why I prepared win server.Second, my win Me has run short of its memory. therefore, It will soon hang up, especially, When I use Word, IE and Excel at the same time.Whenever it happens, I get very irritated!!So, in order to avoid this trouble, I switch two machines according to my work, for instance, I use the win Me machine browsing World Wide Web, while I type documents and fill the excel forms on server 2003 machine. Of course, lack of adequate memory often causes the printer job to hang up.So, I decided to command and execute the printer job on server. This is not uncommon. But in my home setting, the printer is locally connected to win Me, because putting the printer within my reach is convenient.(remember the server is in other room), of course I know a printer server unit will solve this problem diffrently, but I cannot afford it.When I need to print out some documets, I use server,not Me, though I console the server on Me. OH! I'm confused! I can hardly tell which is which!? You see?In short, the printer job excuted on server is sent to Me. Me operates as printer server, where the printer data is past to printer.

hurdle for the handicapped in PC use

Today, I'm going to talk about the interface. What can you think of from this word?If you are a programer, develper, you can imagine the one related to the OSI model. but I now mean the human interface.I once taught the handicapped PC operation. They couldn't use their hands freely, so working with a mouse could not be easy.Of course, some are making efforts to handle it, for instance, with stick holded by their mouth, but I think we should have more devices that help them with PC operation.Anyway, The client I met today had a handicap in his eye sight.He had installed a text reading software on his PC.As soon as you get browser working, the program begin reading all the text on the web site. It spoke so fast that I could hardly understand what it said. Furthermore, It read out every text down to the link URL embedded, it required more skill to be with it. Despite some defects on software, he operated his PC with confident hand, which surprised me a lot.I suddenly recalled that my colleague, a web designer said that the web sites adopting the help system for the handicapped are yet scarce, so the Japanese have yet to understand the barrier free notion.I think Internet is now vital particularly to those people. but,the human interface we always use without problems, such as track point, slide pad, mouse or even keybords can prevent them from access their PC. I hope more useful devices will be developed for them all.

good skill needed

The other day I called on a customer, who came from England.He asked me to set up internet connection.His PC was Mac, OS X.To be honest, I was not familiar with it, at first, I felt a little upset, but he had a router, instead of using PPPoE on Mac, I had only to build configuration on the router. I felt relieved. Of course, I was done with ease.Anyway, he was very interesting, having a lot to talk about with me, I was bombarded with many questions! One of his questions was something like this.While in England more people are still using old PC, for instance Win 98, Why do the Japanese like to buy a new one?As you know, even many Japanese are still in use of Win 98. I now suppose he meant that British people habitually (or historically?) like to use, keep old stuff, how about the Japanese? But at that moment, I couldn't catch on to the meaning of the question clearly.I answered to the effect that the Japanese tend to see PC as household appliances, like TV, radio and cooler, calling for easy operation, I think Win XP is better in accessibility and handling than Win 98, So they prefer buying a new one. Looking back my own statement, I think it is not to the point.I strongly feel I have to be with more skilled English.

HIKARI phone?

I suppose it is difficult to understand its difference between VOIP services numbered by 050-XXXX and HIKARI phone by, for example, 022-XXXX.Today I heard about it for the first time. The latter service has started since March 1st, 2005. Hikari phone requires B-flets broad band connection infra.What's the difference?In short, 050- session by VOIP has advantage that those who subscribe the same ISP can dial each other for free. but Hikari phone can not. While 050 cannot connect to 110, 119 emergency number, Hikari can.But I think now more people use the mobile phone, so at home-fixed phone may no longer be welcome.I hope new service will call me.

Why can't I get through?

It was IP Phone settings that troubled me.There was something strange about it.I'll tell you the whole about it.I was asked to set the configuration on Router for the FTTH Internet connection. After setting, PPP LED tuned on, then I got down to set VOIPsetting, actually, I only downloaded its configuration from ISP Web sitethrough UPnP(universal plug and play). of course, its LED turned on, too.I was sure I had got my work almost done. so the only thing I had to do was to check Internet connection by I.E. and VOIP phone connection.No problem in the Internet browsing, but strangely, the VOIP session failed. even though I tried several times.So I decided to find the cause of this trouble. Check points were as follows.1.Check the type of connection between router and the phone receiver. Auto detection was on on the router, while on the phone side, PB dialing mode was set to on. These settings would enable these devices to communicate with each other without problem, I thought.2. I suspected ISP had not yet registered the user ID and password on VOIP server. At first, I thought the cause of this trouble lay on the ISP side. but soon realized that I successfully downloaded the VOIP configuration through UPnP on router, It suggested that we got authenticated.So, There was mystery left. Now, you may wonder why I didn't ask the support for help, of course, I did! I called them over and over again.But I couldn't get through to any operator at all, even though I tried for almost two hours! The most terrible thing was that as soon as the line got connected, then an auto answering machine told me the line was busy, call us again after a while, and then suddenly I was shut down!After all, I could't find any cause. I explained to the customer what to do next, leaving the house. I had a hard time of it!

A stray dog

Today the number of visits hit 1000! It took nearly 3 months.You wonder if I am glad to see this hits, to tell the truth, it does't make any differnce to me at all. I just felt like writting down here.By the way, the other day when we had much more snow, I was forced to take trains to get out to work. I usually ride on a bike. At Kitayama station on Senzan line, Sendai, a big dog wandered into the platform, where there were many passengers waiting for the train.Getting out of breath, it followed anyone walking around.An old woman with her grandchild looked scared, “I'm scared! It's too dangerous. Is there anyone who can take it out of here? ”No one answered. The dog was still going around, walking and running.A boy, who looked like a college student, suddenly shouted.“Come on! come here! I'm gonna play with you! This way, Good boy!” He started to run followed by the dog.I saw the boy and the dog going away from the station, when train was coming.He was going to get on the train, he was in a hurry to come back.The dog, too!The car rushed into the track, everyone got on board. We left the station,saying good-bye to the dog.

Watch out for visiter?

When I visit customers, I always think the rooms reflect on their owner. Knocking the door, greeting each other, immediately after that, I can imagine what he/she is, how clean and tidy his/her room is. I will soon find that it is true.Sometimes there can be a piece of under hair fallen on the floor. Especially,visiting young lady, I'm usually upset! Though she keeps it clean, tidy, and arranged objects as she wished, so it looks very nice, only one thing left shocks me, makes it hard for me to stay cool. It goes without saying that I am not a sexual crazy! So you should sweep up your room TILL THERE WOULD BE NO HAIR so as not to let me go mad.

Advice for troubles in home networking (1)

I work as a kind of network engineer, call at clients' home, and build network configuration to connect their PC to Internet. Technology has fully developed now, 100MB connection is quite common among Internet settings.but It is very often that after setting, the things seem to be quite different from what you expected.For example, as is often the case, the max speed in connection on your PC can be measured only 25MB! you must be dissapointed to know that. It's natural that you complain about it. Why does this case happen?Would ads make wrong statements about speed? or Would FTTH (Fiber To The Home) construction work be poor? The answers cannot easliy be found.Various factors may influence on your PC, but it doesn't matter to you, I think. It is the fact that you want to get higher speed that counts.I'm going to introduce some solutions to you.At first, let me divide the factors to slow down your PC connection into some categories. According to them, you need to check.A)Windows version☆Windows 95,98,98SE,Me are not good for broad band network connections. They have poor memory management, as well as less MTU processing(MTU means the max sending size of packet data unit, which decides transmitting speed), so they cannot process more than two programs at once. If you use Internet Explore (internet browsing application) and OE(mailing software), they wouldn't go together well. It would be better that you buy XP (as of Jan. 2005, it is the latest ver.)B)Adjusting MTU value☆If you are unable to set up XP on your PC, Adjusting MTU would be the desired solution. Sending packet size is usually set for OS to operate properly, but if the size is wrongly registered, as a result, OS would be slow in receiving packets. Then, what can we do? The free soft ware is available on the Internet. Search it on the web site, follow its guidance to set up. With keyword MTU, edit or something, you will easily find.C)interfaces☆In the internet connection, LAN interface is usually needed. If your PC is a desk top PC, it would have LAN board, it may be designed for 100MB connection, but it cannot exert the full potential, which is proved in some magazines. In fact, the speed would be about 25MB or more. So I highly recommend that you buy 1000GB (Giga bit) ethernet boad, as for me, the figure get about twice. It is quite easy for you, beginners to replace them.It can also be said about USB interface. Now we can use USB 1.0 and 2.0. You know, of course, the latter works faster. but I don't know whether USB 2.0 is designed for Giga bit connection. You need to confirm before you buy.So much, then for my advice vol.1. It will continue...

rain

Last night, snow fell a lot around here. I was afraid that I can't go out to work by motorbike (my machine is TW 200, YAMAHA). but beore noon, I woke to find roads have completely dried out, it seemed there would be OK. Such concern always annoies me. That'll be bikers' destiny(?). When it rains, I get upset, worrying about whether my suit will get muddy. With no raincort pans,I get wet to the skin about legs.

いやがらせなの？

Hello.Frankly speaking, I have no rule to keep a diary, have never kept it only for three days! Thinking in another language is good for activating our brain, I heard. That's why I am determined to keep writing in English. During my life, English is always with me, but my skill and knowledge of it are far from good. I suppose you think so after reading this passage.by the way, with my poor English, I'll report events on my job. My job is something related to Internet working.
