Hoy mella anunciado la disponibilidad del candidato del lanzamiento a Windows Vista SP1. Tenía una ocasión de conseguir la estructura de RC de Windows Vista SP1 instalada hace algunos días. Decidía rodar el RC hacia fuera en todas mis PC que showcase una variedad de tipos y de panoramas de dispositivo:

• Mi PC principal del tablero del escritorio que funciona Windows Vista último x64 - cheque.
• Mi PC de la prueba/del trabajo que funciona el negocio de Windows Vista - cheque.
• Mi computadora portátil 1500 de Dell Vostro que funciona Windows Vista última - cheque.
• Mi Samsung Q1 UMPC que funciona el premio de Windows Vista a casa - cheque.
• Mi PC de Digital CableCard que funciona el premio de Windows Vista a casa - cheque.

En la instalación del RC en mis PC, hice una combinación de usar el instalador y la actualización independientes de Windows. Antes de proceder a instalar los pedacitos de SP1 RC, I primero necesitó el uninstall los pedacitos beta SP1 primero. Los usuarios que miran para instalar Windows Vista SP1 RC necesitarán el uninstall cualquier versión anterior de SP1 antes de la instalación del RC de la actualización de Windows o del instalador independiente. Con la actualización de Windows, una vez que SP1 fuera descargado, una nueva serie de pantallas que me decían sobre SP1 apareció. La misma serie de pantallas del diálogo consideradas en el instalador independiente ahora se lanza al instalar Windows Vista SP1 vía la actualización de Windows. Esto será realmente provechoso al usuario en la instalación de Windows Vista SP1. Previamente con el beta, no había dirección de la actualización de Windows en la instalación de Windows Vista SP1 como había con

This weekend I completed the roll-out of my new HP MediaSmart Server running Windows Home Server. I ordered the HP MediaSmart Server EX470. I originally had Windows Home Server running on my Dell Dimension E520 but decommissioned it when I created my "Ultimate" PC. I really wanted to try out the experience the average consumer will have in purchasing a Windows Home Server and setting it up in their home. The HP MediaSmart Server seemed like the perfect choice in checking out the Windows Home Server experience.

The HP MediaSmart Server EX470 has the following specs:

• Processor - AMD 1.8GHz 64-bit Sempron
• Memory - 512MB DDR
• Interfaces - 4 USB 2.0 Ports, 1 eSATA Port
• Storage - 1 500GB SATA 7200 RPM

Today, quite a few households have wireless networks that are unsecure - wide open for anyone to connect to. This could be a huge problem especially if PC's in that home are sharing important family files - like photos and documents - that shouldn't be seen by strangers. In Windows Live OneCare 2.0, a new feature is coming that will let users of Windows Live OneCare secure an unsecure wireless network in their home. I decided to give this new feature a try and share my experience.

Once I connected to the unsecure wireless network, I launched Windows Live OneCare and was alerted by Windows Live OneCare that I was on an unsecure wireless network and that it can help me to secure it. I clicked "Turn-on" and started the process. Here is a video demo of me going through the process of securing an unsecure wireless network:

Video: Demo: OneCare Wireless Security

I'd like to take a few moments to elaborate on a few things from the video. First off: the router I used to test this was *not* connected to the Internet. Most users who will use this feature to secure their router will have it connected to the Internet. Once going through the wizard to secure the router with Windows Live OneCare - the user and any other PC's on the home network should

Microsoft has set up the networking infrastructure in Windows Vista in such a manner that it requires only minimal user interaction, especially when the operating system has to interact with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP is designed to take the user out of the equation of assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a certain computer connected to a network, and making the process completely automatic. In order to set up or change the configuration of the TCP/IP settings make your way via the Start button, Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, and then Manage network connections.

In the Network Connections window, you will be able the see one or more connections depending on your system, right-click the connection you want to manage and select Properties from the contextual menu that will be displayed. Under the Networking tab, select either Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) depending on which protocol you use. Most likely, it is IPv4. Make sure that the Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain an IPv6 address automatically are selected in order to automatically assign the IP addresses to your computers. (more…)
