First problem with Vista (Network related)

I was sitting behind my notebook and noticed that my Live Messenger keeps reconnecting. My first thought was that Microsoft have a problem with Live Services. But next day I noticed the same. I logged on XP box next to Vista one. Messenger worked.  Hmmm weird… [:|]

Problem was with Microsoft Windows Vista TCP Window Scaling and with my older release Cisco IOS which does not have TCP Window Scaling support. So the solution is to upgrade to IOS 12.3(15) or higher.

Workaround in Vista is also simple. Just run this from command prompt (cmd.exe) as Administrator:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

If you to re-enable it run this from cmd as Administrator:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

In some cases you may need to run also this:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

And to re-enable it:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

Interesting part is that I only have problems with Live Messenger and wirk Remote Desktop (RDP) not with any other IM software (Skype,), FTP transfer, HTTP transfer,…

Home sweet home :)

I`m back in Europe. I really had a great time in States. Microsoft Tech-Ed 2007 was great with some great presentations.

Tech-Ed Party was cool to in Universals Studios Park  with all rail coasters and Jurassic Park stuff. [<:o)]

Beside Tech-Ed I went to near Kennedy Space Center to Space Shuttle Launch. It`s a must see if you are going to Florida on launch date. [<:o)]

 

Kennedy Space Center is also great attraction. You can see NASA evolving trough years, get inside Space Shuttle Explorer, see Apollo rocket, Space Shuttle Engine, Moon RV and a lot more!

Microsoft Tech-Ed 2007 (Orlando, Florida) started

 

Bob Muglia, senior vice president of server and tools at Microsoft opened the Microsoft Tech-Ed annual conference today in Orlando, Florida. Tech-Ed celebrates 15 years this year.

In his keynote he clearly presented technologies, products and services that Microsoft will release in near future and their benefits.

I liked Back to the Future scene and skit. 🙂 You can watch stream from Keynot here.

Walt Disney World Resort – Magic Kingdom

We went to a Walt Disney World Resort – Magic Kingdom yesterday. It was fun and I felt like k kid in a »dream land«.[:P] It really is a dream place for every kid. I skipped kids stuff and went to a Space Mountain roller coaster. It sure was full of adrenaline ride.[<:o)]

I must see is for sure Monsters, Inc. It`s funny and live show. I wonder how many computers they use for real time rendering. Anyone know the answer?[I]

Here are some more pictures from Walt Disney World Resort – Magic Kingdom.
