rich8833 — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:38:37 +0800

situation is like this:-

PC01 have 1 lan network card and 1 usb wireless adapter.
PC02 have 1 lan card.

PC01 are connected to PC02 using only 5 port switch.

PC02 are not allow to access to internet.
PC01 are allow to access to internet using the USB wireless adapter.

The problem is whenever PC01 click on any internet browser, the wired lan (icon at the bottom near the clock) light is on and no light on the wireless lan icon.
Meaning it is searching for internet by going through wired lan. Therefore cannot access to the internet.

If pC02 is off, then PC01 got no problem accessing internet.

Question: How to select wireless lan as a default when PC01 want to access to internet with PC02 on?

pc01 ip
--------
wireless is auto
wired is 10.1.1.2 & 255.0.0.0 no gateway

pc02 ip
---------
10.1.1.3 & 255.0.0.0 no gateway

router ip is 192.168.1.1

An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.

The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, 'You're in charge of sweeping.'

To the Scotsman he says, 'You're in charge of shoveling.'

And to the Chinese guy, 'You're in charge of supplies.'

He then says, 'Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile.'

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched.

He asks the Italian, 'Why didn't you sweep any of it?'

The Italian replies, 'I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinese a fella that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere.'

Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, 'And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile.'

The Scotsman replies, 'Aye, ye did lad, boot ah couldnay get meself a shoovel! Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnayfin' him either.'

The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy ...Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells...

'SUPPLIES!!'

Why Men Tells Lies!, Here's The Truth!

rich8833 — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:11:27 +0800

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down in the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
The woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?"
Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
Yes", he replied.
The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river.

When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Angelina Jolie.
"Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the woodcutter.
The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
The woodcutter fell to his knees and cried, "Oh, forgive me,
Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Angelina Jolie, You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Then if I also said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife.

Had I then said yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives,

and I love my wife such that I don't want her to share me with anyone,

so THAT'S why I said yes to Angelina Jolie."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others..

MOSTLY his wife!
That's our story, and we're sticking to it..

A letter from India..

rich8833 — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:26:17 +0800

My dear Jagjit,
I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there. I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast. We are not living where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.

I am not able to send the address, as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet. But I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.

The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.

By the way, I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is Badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in his club. We were confused as to which piece we should remove?

Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby toddy distillery. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Your best friend, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love,
Mom.

P.S. : Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

The Maid wants an increase

rich8833 — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 12:57:19 +0800

A maid (Sumana) in a posh home wanted a wage increase.

The Madam was very upset about this and asked: "Now Sumana, why
do you want an increase?"

Sumana: Well Madam, there are three reasons why I want an
increase.

The first is that I iron better than you.

Madam: "Who said you iron better than me?"

Sumana: "The Master said so."

Madam: "Oh."

Sumana: "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."

Madam: "Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?"

Sumana: "The Master did."

Madam: "Oh."

Sumana: "My third reason is that I am a better lover than you."

Madam (very upset now): "Did the Master say so as well?"

Sumana: "No Madam, the gardener."

She got the increase!
