What ports are needed to allow Windows file share access through a firewall?

February 10, 2009

Strangely enough, I was asked this question 3 times last week, so figured it would be a good post for the blog… :)

You need to poke a hole through the firewall at port 445.  Once completed, you should be able to access your windows network share, assuming that this is configured properly.  If the firewall still rejects the traffic, poke a real hole in it and watch it suffer the fate that all firewalls should.

Perhaps this is why my specialty is not in firewalls/routers….NAH!

Apple supports Windows Mobile OS for credit card applications

I thought it was time to upgrade my iphone to an iphone 3g, so I went to the nearest apple store and figured I would just bang it out.  I did the initial proceeding online, and setup an appointment for an apple “genious” to assist me the rest of the way.  Now why a 15 year old peddling mp3 players to anything that moves is a genious is another story all together.  As I go to checkout, I notice something rather amusing.

Apple uses windows mobile OS to process their credit card transactions.

Let me repeat for those of you that are hard of reading.  APPLE SUPPORTS WINDOWS MOBILE OS!  Now granted, I am all for why reinvent the wheel when a good solution is right in front of you.  If the credit card processing software works to apple’s standards and they don’t need to develop something new, why bother?

To me, it makes sense, but there are many mac addicts out there that wouldn’t be able to grasp such a conccept.  For example, if I want to use an exchange email account, I would use windows outlook and not entourage or thunderbird.  Those products are subpar when it comes to email.  If I want to have a conference call with upper management, nothing works better than the isight and my mac laptop.

As I degress, so I ask my 15 year old genious, whats up with the windows mobile and he said that it  is the only device in the apple store that is not made by apple.  I’m sure that this is not true, but everyone has an image to uphold eh?

Whats up with the new spam posts on the blog?

February 9, 2009

I just wanted to discuss something that I noticed and was curious about.  The last 2 weeks or so, random people have been leaving inspirational posts about how awesome my blogging skills are.  Now we all know, I do not have great blogging skills, so something is up.  The wierder thing is that they tend to occur on the same 5 posts or so.  All of these posts vary in when I posted it, so there appears to be no rhyme or reason to that.

Most pages seem to link back to a website, but it is different websites but the same basic message.  You are so awesome and please write more blog posts.  While I am pretty awesome, I do not think that people actually think this!  :)

I will need to research this more and if it an automated thing, I wonder how much it costs….free advertisement IS free advertisement afterall.  I would also like to mention that it is good for the ego.  As much as I love to read about how much I offend people, its good to see a few inspirational posts, even if they ARE spam.

You may not have sufficient permissions to create a portable company file from this computer

February 5, 2009
The error can occur if:

  • The name of the company data file or its folder name contains non-alphanumeric characters, such as apostrophe ( ‘ ), ampersand (&), dash (-) or hash (#). For example,
    F:\John’s data\QuickBooks\Smith & Jones Plumbing.qbw.
  • The data operation is taking place over a network.
  • Multiple workstations are configured to host the data file.
  • The Windows user does not have sufficient permissions on the server.
  • There is data damage in the company file.
Detailed Instructions
To resolve this issue:

  • If you have a single-user installation of QuickBooks, stop multi-user hosting if it is turned on.
  • If you have a multi-user installation of QuickBooks, perform these steps in order. After each step, try performing the operation that caused the error. If it completes successfully, the issue is resolved. If the error still occurs, proceed to the next step.
  1. Update your program to the most current release on all workstations and on the server. Aspects of this issue have been resolved in the latest release for your version. If the error still occurs, troubleshoot other causes.

Note: It is important for each computer using the same company file to be on the same release of QuickBooks. To check the release of QuickBooks on any workstation, open QuickBooks and press the F2 key. The release is displayed in the upper left corner of the Product Information window.

  1. If there are non-alphanumeric characters in the company file path or file name, remove them.
    1. Right click the Windows Start button (or the Logo button in Windows Vista) and click Explore.
    2. Navigate to the folder or company file containing the non-alphanumeric characters.
    3. Right-click the folder or file and select Rename.
    4. Remove the characters from the name and press Enter.
  1. If you are converting a company data file to a newer version of QuickBooks over a network, or creating an Accountant’s Copy or portable company file over a network, copy the company file to a local hard drive to perform the operation and then copy it back to the original location when you are finished.

    For help copying a company file, refer to “Copy a company file using Windows.”

  1. Turn off hosting on all workstations that do not host the company data file:
    1. Open QuickBooks on a computer that does not host the company file.
    2. Click the File menu and click Utilities.
      • If Stop Hosting Multi-User Access appears on the menu, click it and click Yes to confirm.
      • If Host Multi-User Access appears on the menu, stop and proceed to the next step.
    3. Close QuickBooks.
    4. Repeat steps 4.a through 4.c on all workstations that do not host the company data file.
  1. Ensure the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is running and scanning the appropriate folder(s):
    1. Move to the computer that is hosting the company file.
    2. Click the Start button and click Programs > QuickBooks > QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
    3. Click the Scan Folders tab.
    4. Click the Add Folder button.
    5. Select the folder that contains QuickBooks company files and click OK. If you don’t know where files are stored, select the entire disk.
    6. (Optional) Click the Add Folder button again to add additional folders, and then click OK.
    7. Click the Scan button. The display will indicate which folders are being scanned.
    8. After the scan is complete, click Close.
  1. Ensure the QBDataServiceUser(XX) user for your version of QuickBooks has full access to the folder where the company file is stored. For detailed instructions refer to one of the following:
  1. Refer to Troubleshooting and fixing data damage to check for data integrity problems with the company file.

How to prevent iTunes from opening every time you plug in an apple device

I don’t know about you, but I hate the fact that iTunes wants to open up every time I plug in my iPhone.  It has to be the most annoying feature that apple has to offer.  It wouldn’t be so bad if iTunes didn’t utilize so much of my resources.  While I can go on and on about how much I hate iTunes, lets get down to business.  In order to turn this feature off, you need to turn off automatic sync on your device properties in iTunes.  Once done, the only time iTunes opens, is when you tell it to.  I don’t know about you, but my computer is saying THANK YOU!!!

Desert Rifle Walkthrough

Another day, another walkthrough.  This game?  Desert Rifle!

http://www.addictinggames.com/desertrifle.html

I found that most of the weapons were useless, but that is because I had a hard time forcusing on the ammo.  All weapons besides the handgun had less ammo and would burn through it quickly.  Because I have good aim, I found the handgun to be the best weapon.
Day 1

Buy as many mines as you can.  I placed them on the back row and when a few enemies came by, fired it off.

Day 2

Same as day 1

Day 3

Same as day 1

Day 4

Same as day 3.  I would save the mines for the cars and ensure that they blow up nicely.

Day 5

Same as day 4.  I would use the suicide drivers to blow up enemies around them.  This saved mines from being used.

Day 6

You are almost there.  Hold out and hope for the best!

How to send faxes via Microsoft Exchange with Rightfax + Exchange connector installed

February 2, 2009

I have a client that would like to add email contacts to an address.  I told him that it wouldn’t work properly, but did forward him the following information:

Microsoft Exchange

The RightFax form supports two different address formats for addressing faxes: the FAX format, and the RFAX format.

To Send a Document to a Fax Number Using the FAX Addressing Format:

1. Specify a destination name and fax number in the To: or Cc: box of a new message using this format:

[FAX:Name@FaxNumber]

(You must include both the Name and FaxNumber as well as the enclosing square brackets.)

2. Separate multiple FAX addresses with semicolons.

Example:

[FAX:Jane Doe@555-1212];[FAX:John Smith@(520)555-1000]

RFAX Addressing Format:

1. Specify a destination name and fax number in the To: or Cc: box of a new message using this format:

[RFAX:Name@/FN=FaxNum]

(You must include the opening and closing square brackets.)

2. The name and fax number are required. You can also add these parameters for display on the cover sheet:

SMS Number:    /SMS=Number (replaces /FN for a fax number)

Billing code 1:    /AN=Code

Billing code 2:    /MN=Code

City and state:    /CI=City, State

Company:    /CO=Company

Voice phone number:    /VN=Number

3. Separate multiple RFAX addresses with semicolons.

Example:

[RFAX:JaneDoe@/FN=555-1212/VN=555-2345/CO=Acme, Inc.]

The rightfax server is 9.3 and has the exchange gateway configured.
