    hotmail contact?

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    Could indeed be a long process (30 days to be precise)

    Friend had 2 step authentication activated back in the Uk. Primary to receive codes was his UK mobile number, but after he moved to Thailand he tossed his UK number and wanting to access his email he had to go through the process of losing his way of receiving codes (which was his UK phone number) and this process (believe it or not) takes 30 days.

    Thats one of the reasons why i have added 3 phone numbers + the Google authenticator app to both my Hotmail and Gmail accounts, so in case I lose a phone number or phone I still have backups.

    Good Luck

    Oke if you need help just shout, I have done this and now (for example) when I go back to Village I take my laptop and when I come back home I just copy the library (the *.itl and *,xml) and the "maybe changed" music to my external drive, and I can play everything from my desktop. This also keeps my PlayCount and changed Playlist intact.

    Ps: My iTunes library is at the moment 100 GB++ (everything legally bought (either Cd's or from the iTunes store) so I would hate to lose that.

    PsPs: All iTunes store bought stuff you can re-download free (if you might lose it)

    @Suradit69 Re: iTunes library

    you should look in to making your iTunes portable. This means you can just copy the whole iTunes folder onto your External HDD and start it from there.

    This way you also could copy the data (music movies) to another external drives or your internal drives and never have to be afraid losing your music or Movies.

    Problem with new TP Link TD-W8980

    in IT and Computers

    Posted · Edited by MJCM

    Yeah I like it, and I don't have a problem with the wireless. In total I have approx. 8 devices (at the same time) connected to the wireless and they all can access the internet and do their normal stuff. And I only connected 2 of the antenna's, and for the price (2xxx Thb) you can't go wrong.

    You could also consider the Asus-DSL N55U but that is around 4xxx Thb, I had one but the 2.4ghz refused to connect and only the 5ghz worked.

    Edit : // Added Screenshot

    Here a capture of this morning of the ADSL log, so you can see it works with TOT (the Y....@tothome is my userid for the TOT Network)

    Ps: The time is off because the internet was not connected yet and could not sync the time with a Time Server :)

    Pattaya to Samui

    Please note that price is approx so it could be higher !!!

    But to break that price down

    60-80 Thb Taxi Hotel -> Pattaya Bus Station

    130++ from Pattaya to BKK Bus station

    150++ from BKK to Lomprayah Pick up point

    1300++ From BKK to Koh Samui look at website from Lomprayah

    If you need to be there at 2pm on Monday you should start on Saturday or at the latest early Sunday as it takes 14++ hours and there could be many delays.

    If it was me I would leave on Friday just to be sure that I would arrive on time (but that's me)

    Ps: Please note you have to call Lomprayah if there is availability on the route BKK -> Samui as it's approaching Holiday time (Songkran)

    Their BKK branch is located here

    and their contact details are here

    You will first sit on a bus from BKK - Chumpon and then go onto the Ferry

    The ferry is only 3 hours ++ as it leaves from Chumpon and first will arrive at Koh Tao then Koh Phangan and then Koh Samui.

    If the weather is bad (rainy season ??) you will be in for a rough ride.

    Ps: Maybe an alternative could be a train ride from Bkk- Surat Thani and then the Ferry to Samui ?

    Thai Postal Service Problems

    in Pattaya

    Posted · Edited by MJCM

    I have activated a couple cards this way already, my bank just asks me some questions

    like dob etc etc and my Home phone number they also know, as I can change that via Internet Banking

    Never had a problem even when activating and using my GSM and that number they didn't know.

    The Picture was just an example, and how fedex will know, I also have no idea, but if the card is lost in transit, they are not responsible if the card is used.

    But each time Fedex came to pickup the envelope they asked what is in it and if it was a ATM / Credit Card they always replied, "we can't send already activated cards"

    Unfortunately times like this is when it pays to spend the extra money and have this type of mail (credit and ATM cards) sent by FEDEX

    Same here, but please note that Fedex will NOT send a credit or ATM card if it's already activated.

    You should ask your bank for a card that's not yet activated, but you will activate it via phone when it arrives.

    What is the WLAN ow of samsung laser printers?

    When you get your router, you need to setup your wireless Network.

    Step 1) You will have to give a name to your network. This is called a SSID http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ssid.htm

    Step 2) Then you need to setup the Security Mode of your Wireless Network, this is to prevent unauthorized access to your network

    Read here more about the different security modes http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/08/6-steps-to-secure-your-home-wireless-network/

    The weakest one is wep and the strongest is wpa2 (but note: some devices can't handle wpa2 and you can choose WPA)

    Step 3) During the set up of the security mode of your Wireless network, you will then to set a Password. This password will be needed to connect all of your devices to the Wireless Network.

    So when I connected my Ipad, Phones, Wireless Printer, Laptop etc etc etc I had to first select the SSID (from step 1) and then type in the password from Step 3, this I had to do in all of my wireless devices. So if you change the password from Step 3 in your Router, you will then again have to Enter that password in all of your Wireless devices that connect to your Wireless Network. (You only have to type the password once in every device)

    Please Note all of the above is NOT necessary if you only connect devices via Ethernet.

    As you can see at the moment I have 3 Wireless devices connect to my network.

    Ps: About the hotspot connection, you maybe can ask this question in the Apple Forum

    Isn't the password the Network Password of the access point (or router).

    I have a Wireless Password set in my Router, and all Wireless devices (printer, phone, ipad etc etc) that want to connect to the network need that password

    Ps: My Brother wireless printer can't connect to my wireless network if WPA2 is selected as Security Mode, that's why I use WPA.
