How to run and read traceroute test in Windows, Networking!

Traceroute is a network utility program to trace the path from one network to another. It displays response times that occur at each stop (hops) along the route. We can know if there is any connectivity issue or latency connecting to a target. The stops having issue can be identified by looking into the report generated by traceroute. Command: tracert hostname hostname - Name of the destination server that is traced Example: Reading the traceoute test results: There are 6 rows. Each row represents a hop. Route can be traced up to maximum of 30 hops. There are 5 columns in each row. Hop# - No. of hops that packets are traveled RTT (Rount Trip Time) Columns - Time taken by packets to communicate with the host (both way). Three separate packets are sent.

How to run and read ping test in Windows, Networking!

Ping is a network utility program to test if a particular host is reachable. It uses the internet connection to send out packets of data to a host and are sent back the packets to the source computer. So we can know if any packets were lost. We can see the amount of time it takes to communicate with the host. Command: ping target [-t] [-n count] [-w timeout] [-l size] target - Destination host to ping [-t] - Ping until you force to stop [-n count] - Send number of requests (default 4 requests) [-w timeout] - Set timeout in milliseconds (default 1,000) [-l size] - Set size of packet (default size 32 bytes) There are more options available. Only some of them are mentioned here. Example: Reading the ping test results: There are no loss in packets (0% loss). Source machine has received all the sent packets. Minimum time to communicate with the destination (both way) is 4ms and maximum is 6ms. Although, there is not any standard value

Set focus to a control from code behind, ASP.NET!

I tried to focus on error message in a control (asp.net table) but I couldn't get it. So I added a hyperlink control next to the table and set focus on it. It worked perfectly. What I did: Add the following code in aspx. <asp:HyperLink ID="LnkFocus" runat="server"> </asp:HyperLink> Add this in code behind LnkFocus.Focus(); That's all. I think this is one of the easiest way to set focus on a control.

XIAOMI MI4 stuck – Make your phone normal again!

Last week, my MI4 stuck after I installed and applied new theme (theme win10) to my phone. I searched few forums and knew that sometimes MI phones get stuck when some apps are installed. I found some solutions as well to fix it. One of them was to wipe all the data by rebooting to recovery mode. I was worried, I didn’t want to wipe my data at all. So instead of wiping all the data, I cleared cache and my phone came back to normal stage again. These are the steps that I did: Turn off phone by pressing the power button. Press “volume UP + power” button to go into recovery. Select “English” from the menu and go to next screen. Select “Wipe & Reset” and go to next screen. Select “Wipe Cache” and go to next screen. Now select “YES” to confirm wipe cache. After that, go back to main menu and reboot the phone. It’s done now. I didn’t lose my data.
