Cisco VPN Client 5 on Windows 8

NOTE: Always create a backup before doing any type of Windows registry modifications!!!!

With the full public release of Windows 8 right around the corner it is inevitable that people will want to get in there and check it out. If you are working someplace that uses the Cisco VPN client you may run into a little issues getting it to work on Windows 8. Luckily the fix is REALLY simple. I’m sure they will add support in the future, but for the time being check out the issue and fix below.

The client will install and run just fine on the OS, at least it did for me. The problem comes when connecting to VPN resulting in the following error:

Export CSV directly from MySQL

How ofter were you asked by a client for a CSV (or excel) file with data from their app? I get asked that question quite often, so I wanted make the process as easy as possible. And guess what? You can create CSV files directly from MySQL with just one query!
Let's say you want to export the id, name and email fields from your users table to a CSV file. Here is your code:

SELECT id, name, email INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY ‘\\’
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM users WHERE 1

Well, if you know MySQL, you'll know how to customize this query to spit out the the right data. Your csv file can be found in /tmp/result.csv
Make sure your MySQL server has write permissions to the location where you want to store your results file.

Dhcp client stopped at startup

1- first you have to login using any user with administrative
privileges.
2- start---> Run---> regedit
3- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip.
4- right-click on the Tcpip from the left tap menu and choose
permission.
5- Choose (Allow) for all listed groups and users, then press apply and
ok.
6- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp.
7- do the same as before.
8- now plug your network cable or connect to the wireless, if u got an
IP from the DHCP then it's done, if not you have to open the services
from the administrative tools to run the DHCP clinet or stop and run the
service again.

*** YOU HAVE TO DO THIS EVERYTIME U LOG IN OR CONNECT TO THE
NETWORK.
*** THIS PROBLEM ASLO EXIST WITH WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE.

This problem might be related to the DHCP server, seems like up-grading
from windows 2000 advanced server to windows 2003 may cause this probem,
or maybe the group policy in the active directory.


Or try this *netsh winsock reset catalog *
