IP Address conflict related problem, error and solution for Windows OS

When we connect our PC or Laptop through a LAN (Local Area Network) with home network, we may receive a common error message "Conflict IP address with another computer". This message confirms that you are using a IP which is already exist in network and same address is not permitted in any network because IP is unique inside any private network or global network (public network which we called real IP). Below I state reasons behind this conflict and resolution for this specific problem.

Reason for this error message:

1. Your configured IP address is used by another system of your existing network, which is currently running and power on.
2. May be you use LAN and a DHCP server at the same computer and your static LAN IP address block same with DHCP IP address block.
3. Multiple Network card installed in your computer and IP addresses of network adapter is same configured.

IP Address conflict problem

Solution:

1. If you know the network address block, subnet musk, default gateway (if applicable) and unused IP address for your network then reconfigure your network with a new IP address (Set or change IP address) or contact your network administrator to issue a new IP address for you computer or laptop.
2. If you want to keep your current IP address, then you must trace who is using your IP address in your Network by asking your network administrator and request the user to change his IP address to release current address.
3. If you use DHCP and Static LAN simultaneously, then both addresses must be different IP block so that they can not conflict with each other.
4. You can use only DHCP when it is big network, because DHCP assign IP address dynamically so there is no probability to conflict IP address. To know more DHCP please click.

Facebook timeline recent activity and post disappeared

Facebook Timeline gives our profile a new graphical look. It also launches many new features. Activity log is one of them where we will find all of our recent activities on profile, example: Any “Like” on own or others post, comments, status update, add new photos, invites someone to add group, add albums, send friend request etc. But sometimes we face problem with disappear recent activity from Facebook timeline or wall post from profile. This problem is one of the common problems in new feature. It may happen in two stage of your account. - When your account transfer from old wall view to Timeline or New profile in Timeline. - Another stage is for existing Timeline account, where recent activity disappears without any specific reason. The first case we can handle very easily. It basically happen due to transfer and the solution depends on visibility of your post or activity like (Public, Friends and Custom). Now set your visibility settings from privacy setting or directly fro

Brief and Examples on Simplex, Half-Duplex, Full-Duplex Transmission

In data communication, there are three types of communication styles; they are Simplex, Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex. Here we discuss about their characteristics with examples. Simplex: In this communication style data can send only and basically it is one way or uni-direction communication. This type of communication is not widely used for transmit trusted data because it can not send any error or control signal to sender terminal. This style of communication is vastly used in Radio and TV where we can see and hear or receive data only but we can not send any information data by the same channel. Half-Duplex: Half-Duplex is another type of communication style where data can and send and receive but not at the same time. In this communication type, if data is send from one end, then we can not send data from another that means communication establish in one direction. This communication vastly used in walkie-talkie, intercom, string phone etc. The practical exam

Limit user from changing system time and date in Windows OS

Most of us do not concern with system date and time. But it is one of most important factor in all operating system because when all software need system date and time for any update whether it is server end or end user end. Here we are talking about the importance of system date and time and procedure to restrict user from changing system date and time from front end or user end. So we need to keep it intact without any unnecessary changes. If any user except can have the right to change date and time from user end, then it will fall us in deep trouble specially when we run software which take entry time input from end user end. There are also many software mechanisms which does not allow date and time difference to start up. For above reason we do not give user access to change date and time from user end. We can limit the user from this feature. Here I show steps how we can control user access in windows operating systems. Steps to follow:- 1. Go to "Start menu" an
