    You can PERFECTLY cycling in my 'backyard', no need to to to Bangkok / Ayudhaya or any other place.

    Did it last Friday and Sunday - 15 km / 35 km - with a few other people and we had a great time.

    Within a few seconds you are in the middle of no where - see attached kml-file

    >> If your ambering about then that's best done on those Dutch bikes, which there's a company in Chinatown I think they run a laid back cycling tour and they go through all the little soi's and keep off the main roads.

    Thanks for all the replies so far.

    Urandom, next week 20th Soi 8 sounds fine for me, hope more people will join!

    What time do you 'we' want to start, any suggestions?

    Keep in mind that I need to go back to Pattaya with the latest bus from Ekkemai.

    Look forward to the first meeting also if that will be only 2 /3 persons, we have to start somewhere.......

    I would like to know if there are people interested in a monthly meeting talking about Unbuntu / Linux in Pattaya or Bangkok.

    We can talk about Ubuntu -- any fork like Mint, Red Had, Xandros, Debian etc. - interesting software we found, driver issues we all have etc etc.

    I know not many people run Ubuntu / Linux because of sevaral reasons but WHEN it works, it works just like any other Operating System (my opinion)

    I am more and more interested in moving away from Microsoft => Ubuntu but also know that we all have the same problems, lets solve them together!

    Please let me know if people are interested.

    Registration Problem

    in IT and Computers

    I just have a 'dial-up' connection with an ADSL line and a NAT so more computers can access the internet.

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think most users have this setup which makes me no different from people in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium or USA!

    Again if I receive a valid 'public DHCP ip number' from my ISP (TOT) why would they say I am behind a proxy?

    Registration Problem

    Try to register myself at at web-site in The Netherlands but after registration my connection / ip-number is rejected (moved to a blacklist) as I am behind a proxy server.

    I understand from some friends of my that they all have the same problem, "you try to connect yourself from Thailand and all ip numbers from Thailand are rejected by our system as ip-numbers from proxy servers"

    Do more people have this problem when you try to use a service outside Thailand?

    Utorrent Sucking Up All My Bandwidth

    "If your downloads have got faster it may be because you have freed up bandwidth on the upload side for the acknowledgement messages."

    I don't think this has anything to do with it.

    Downstream and upstream use different 'channels' AND downstream and upstream don't have the same 'capacity' (that's why it's called Asymmetric - download is higher than upload as we download more than we upload).

    If you use a bittorent program you just need to make sure that the download of the bittorent not uses 100% of your downlaod capacity and the upload of the bittorent not uses 100% of your upload capacity. The manual as attached previous says: use 80% of your upload capacity and 95% of your download capacity

    Even if you don't use your download capacity this not not mean that you can add that to your upload capacity, it will simply not be used.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Hosts File

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    A host files has nothing to do with Thailand and is just a leftover of the old days when there was no DNS

    A standard host file looks like this:

    # Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

    #

    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

    #

    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

    # space.

    #

    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

    #

    # For example:

    #

    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    Purpose of a host file:

    The hosts file is one of several system facilities to assist in addressing network nodes in a computer network. It is a common part in a operating system's Internet Protocol (IP) implementation, and serves the function of translating human-friendly hostnames into numeric protocol addresses, called IP addresses, that identify and locate a host in an IP network.

    Hope this will help you
