NETWORK IPV4 + IPV6

IPV6

Put address in brakets when in url []

For ipv6 only you need a NAT64 gateway - https://nat64.net/public-providers
NOTE
Google and Cloudflare offer only DNS but without gateway they are useless.

Netmasks group IP addresses.

There are the basic A,B,C class networks :

   1st address   Last address      Netmask per network

A:   0.0.0.0 ... 127.255.255.255   255.0.0.0
B: 128.0.0.0 ... 191.255.255.255   255.255.0.0
C: 192.0.0.0 ... 223.255.255.255   255.255.255.0

CIDR instead of limiting the network size to 245, 64k or 16M it uses any power of 2 for the network size. It sees the netmask as a 32 bit number instead of 4 bytes.

The CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is the number of 1 from left to right in the netmask.

11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 = 255.255.255.0 = /24 =   256 ips in the network  (2^8) 32-24=8 bits
11111111 11111111 11111100 00000000 = 255.255.252.0 = /22 = 1024 ips in the network (2^10)  32-22=10 bits

Netmask: 255.255.255.252 or /30
Starts with multiple of 4
0 - 3 | 4-7 | 8-11 | 12-15 | ..... | 252-255

Email protocols

There are 3 main email protocols used : POP3 and IMAP for mail retrieving and SMTP for sending emails.

Acronyms :
POP (Post Office Protocol)
IMAP (Internet Message access protocol)
SMTP (Simple mail transfer protocol)

POP3 downloads the emails from the server (and if not specified to keep a copy it also deletes the emails) - you have to make rules to filter the email on every client individually and if you lose the email client database you lose all your filters and emails.
Pop3 is good if you have a low email quota and you like your privacy (because as soon as an email is read is deleted from the server) 

IMAP synchronizes you folders and email from the server to you mail client and does not delete the messages unless you delete them.
Main advantage to imap is the it syncs your emails,folders etc the same way on any device.

POP3 : 110 and secure POP3 with SSL/TSL 995
IMAP : 143 and secure IMAP with SSL/TSL 993
SMTP : 25 and secure SMTL with SSL/TSL 465 

SMTP port is 25 and is usually blocked by the ISP to prevent spam by infected users.

Diskpart - hide or unhide a partition in windows

Type in a cmd : diskpart

To hide a partition type :

list volume
select volume 2
remove letter d

To make it appear back : 

select volume 2
assign letter d

If you mount the ESP partition like this, in windwos 10 you get an error message that you are not allowed to access it.
Open Task manager -> Run new task -> Browse.
Here you can access, edit, create, delete files. 

Or open Disk Management : diskmgmt.msc
 Right click on a partition and select - Change Drive Letter and Paths...
and then add or remove a letter.

WOL from the internet + remote desktop connection

First enable wake-on-wan from the network controller in windows.

First set on your router a static dhcp reservation on you mac address.

Then set a port forward on the router for port 7 UDP to your reserved ip.

Configure a dynamic dns on the router, for exemple if your router has support you can use for free no-ip.com

To wake-up you need :

• MAC Adress
• Public ip or dynamic dns address
• Port number

Next you will probably will want to make a Remote Desktop Connection to your pc.
For this you have to forward TCP port 3389 to your pc ip address.

On the Remote Desktop settings select Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentification (more secure)
Click Select Users and add your username.
You MUST have at least a PROFESSIONAL version of windows to be able to do remote desktop connection to the computer.

And last install from android market a Wake on Lan

How to configure a dns and an email server on windows 7

I used Simple DNS Plus and Quick ‘n Easy Mail Server - note that both are not free software but you can try them in trial mode.
You will also need and EML file viewer because the emails are saved as .eml files.
Get FREE EML File Viewer from here

They are very strait forward to configure.
In Simple DNS Plus - Select Records and add a Primary zome.
Then add in your zone an MX-record and make some inquiry to see if everything is ok.

To check if your mail server dns settings are good, open a cmd and make an inquiry :

nslookup -q=mx mydomain.com 

         (uses your isp or local dns server to resolve)

nslookup -q=mx mydomain.com 8.8.8.8 

(using specified Google dns server 8.8.8.8 to interrogate for our domain - I recommend this as it is almost instant update)

To check local open port on your system/server use CurrPorts if you want a Gui or netstat

For dns you have to open port 53
For email you have to open ports : 25,110

You have to port forward ports 53, 25, 110 if you have a router.

You can use this site to check if your ports are open : http://tagclouds.ro/openports.php

 Additional information :

To clear dns cash in windows in cmd type : ipconfig /flushdns
To see in browser new changes made to dns change your dns to 8.8.8.8 ( google dns) 

Dxtory does not start recording games

Dxtory does not recognize game/show FPS.

If you record your games with an OSD like MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner, you have to ckeck in the
Dxtory - Advanced  Settings - Delay Hook - checkbox.

Also you must first start Dxtory then start the game, it will automatically create a profile for the game, then start  MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner, and it will record with you OSD.

If you turn the stealth mode on in Rivatuner you can record while the OSD is up, but it won't show up in the video.

You can get dxtory from here : http://exkode.com/dxtory-features-en.html
You should use it with the Lagarith codec (that supports multi-threading) from here : http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
so you can record without full loading one of the cores of your cpu, that will have bad effects on your fps.
