For as long as I can remember, I've always used the IP 4.2.2.2 when testing network connectivity using ping. What is significant about this IP, and when did this practice start?
Hi,
I'm planning to test my Linux box and I want to start in memory testing. But my problem is what should I need to test the memory in my linux box? Should I need a tool? Or there are some APIs to use to build some scripts?
Thanks
I'm testing ocs inventory. I'm wondering if there is a way to bind a computer to a static group through the agent at the time of sending the inventory.
To be more clear: I set a static group "mygroup" into ocs server: I would like to run the agent on a client computer and specify that the computer is a member of "mygroup".
Thank you!
I am trying to create a locked down Windows 8 account using Group Policies with no tiles on the start screen except for one for the purposes of a Kiosk PC.
How can I (as an administrator account) install a custom application (side-loading) for another user and pin it to their start menu?
This application is still in development so will need to be updated frequently on the locked account for testing.
Is it true that a mongoDB configured as a replicaset (lets say two nodes + an arbiter) will always be slower than the same DB and server specs but configured as a Master?
I've run some tests and found out that for a fresh DB, RS is a little quicker than Master/Slave config but when the DB is getting bigger than ~100k records the latter is getting much snappier.
am I missing something here?
PS: I was testing it with mongoid driver for ruby.
I'm gonna spec a new computer, used for running VMWare Worksation. The computer will be running a few virtual machines - A dev machine running VS-2010, a build machine, a version-control machine, a web server for testing, a "personal" machine running office etc.
Any suggestions? Processor, MB, disks etc?
(P.S. The only item I AM sure of is that the machine will be using a Xonar Essence Stx, connected to my NAND amplifier ;-)

Is there a way to fool windows desktop to think that it is running off a battery (like in a laptop) ?
I need to do this to do some testing in battery mode, but I don't have a laptop on hand to do this.
I tried to find utilities on the net that could do this but I had no luck. What do you think guys?
Hi,
I'm just wondering if there's a web hosting site that offers hosting for PHP and ASP.NET at the same time. It would be great if you give me a site that offers free service. I would like to use it for testing purposes only. But I could still look for affordable one.
Comments/Suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
I want to programatically rename a file and it could be open. It's a log file. When I was testing my code the rename part didn't work because the log file TestPro.log was open by the TAF (Test Automation Framework).
When TestPro is running and I try to delete the file I get the error "Cannot delete because is being used by another person or program."
Is there any way how to rename a file (programatically) that is open the way the log file was?
As I prepare to test some changes, I thought I'd set up a maintenance page block so I could do the testing.
Just realized though that the maintenance block examples for nginx take the site down for everyone.
How do you serve the maintenance page to visitors will still allowing localhost access.
Should I just create a new server block listening on another port and deny all, allow 127.0.0.1?
I am currently writing a bash script (for Nagios), and I would like to be able to detect if specific network cards are up or not.
My best guess is to do something like this:
ifconfig eth0 | grep UP | wc -l
or:
ethtool eth0 | grep "Link detected: yes" | wc -l
Are either/both of those reliable ways of testing if the network card is up, or is there a better option? Perhaps there is a flag on ethtool which will do precisely what I want?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/pointers!

Hello,
i should set up the following configuration with 2 machines:
machine A issues HTTP requests
machine B serves the pages requested by A
For testing purposes, i want that EVERY HTTP request issued by machine A gets served by machine B.
For example, machine A browser tries to access www.website.com/article.php?1234
machine B has a folder in its http server that has the content and replies to A.
How can I set up a dns on machine B to point ALL requests to itself?
Thanks
Hi,
Today I spent more than an hour trying to get Skype set up on my Linux box (Debian testing), but I couldn't make my microphone to work correctly. So I hear the other person talking, but they can't hear me. I am running KDE 4.3 and Skype 2.1 Beta. What do I need to do to get it working?
Is there a way to specify that only emails from a certain domain get sent from the SMTP Server on IIS 6? This would be super helpful for our testing environment.
On http://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php whilst testing the following url https://www.bobclubs.com/pay I get the following message:-
ERROR: cannot verify www.bobclubs.com's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O=GeoTrust, Inc./CN=RapidSSL CA': Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
I am not 100 sure why this is as all issuer is OK, all items are secure and I get a padlock on all browsers.
Can any one shed some light on this?
I have started using git for deployment of websites for testing. How do I prevent apache from serving the .git directory contents?
I tried
<Directorymatch "^/.*/\.svn/">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directorymatch>
with no success.
I know that I can create a .htaccess file in each .git directory and deny access, but I wanted something I could put into the main config file that makes this global across all websites.
I'm currently testing out a new proxy system that I'd like to try out on my own computer. Because I do not have an additional PC available, I though I'd do it with VMware. Here's what I'd like to do:
The physical computer is to make an internet connection using the VMware proxy and not the router. Is this (1) possible and (2) if so, how am I to accomplish this?
Thanks!
I have been testing my SMTP setup on IIS6 today. I have created a test.eml file that I palce in my pickup directory and it gets sent out. However, when I put a bad address into the file it is not going into the badmail folder. The file disappears and it seems to be removed from the file system.
Thanks

Using Firefox I was viewing a PDF file embedded within a web page, with the toolbar available. After right-clicking to deselect the toolbar (I was testing something) I cannot find a way to reinstate them. Since the toolbar is enabled by right clicking on the toolbar area, when it's disabled, it's not obvious how to reenable it.
When the toolbars have been disabled and no longer visible, how do you reinstate them?
Version info:
Firefox 3.6.3
Adobe Reader 9.3
Kubuntu 10.04
when I access our intranet via https I get this "certificate error: navigation blocked" error in IE8 on Windows XP SP3. I can click Continue to this website (not recommended). but I use IE for automation testing so I have to avoid these extra clicks.
Any idea?
I tried
setting “Turn off the Security Settings Check feature” to enabled.
setting "Display Mixed Content" to enabled
lowering security levels to minimum
adding the web server address to trusted zone
I have a Brazilian Keyboard that I need to use in my machine for some testing, but none of Brazilian Layouts that came with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx release are 100% compatible (I'm missing question marks and "/").
How do I download additional keyboard layouts?
I'm testing Windows 8 RP. Installed tens of apps from market. What I wanna know is, is there any way to save (or maybe sync with Windows Live account) installed app list, and install these saved applications in future - RTM version of OS?
I mean, somehing like on Apples' devices - icloud features function that I'm talking about. You can install apps on iPhone and sync with iCloud account. Then you can re-install these apps on another device, which signed in with your login into icloud.
