Keeping your System clock current, automatically via Network Time Protocol (NTP)
Posted by Admin on 26th January 2007
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks accurate over the Internet, or by following an accurate hardware receiver which interprets GPS, DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals.
ntpdate is a simple NTP client which allows a system’s clock to be set to match the time obtained by communicating with one or more servers.

Change your Network card MAC ( Media Access Control) address
Posted by Admin on 16th November 2006
Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer. On networks that do not conform to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC) address.
