Port Forwarding in Edimax BR-6204WLG wireless router


It's been a few days since I started using the Edimax BR-6204WLG wireless router. Features were great. I got the computers connected to the Internet with very less effort. I got my laptop connected wirelessly, and I got the security of the router tightened so that my neighbors won't be able to connect unless they had my permission. There was one problem though: PORT FORWARDING. I just can't get it to work. The setup was fairly simple. I specified the IP address of the local computer that serves as my web server, and specified port 80. I then tried to access it using the public ip address but I get a page load error: the server is taking too long to respond. I'm using Apache web server. I thought it was the firewall I had so I disabled it and tried to access the webserver again but with no luck. I then tried a different web server which was Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS). Dang! it still didn't work. I added this local ip to the router's demilitarized zone and hell it still didn't work. I know I'm missing something here because when I try to ping the public ip, the local ip responds. It's a good thing I got quite some time to figure this out.

How to register a business name

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee. The registration shall be valid for five (5) years. A surcharge of Php 100.00 is imposed if renewal is filed beyond the three (3) month grace period, c...

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va...

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...
