Windows 7 + iPhone Bluetooth

Posted by Kelvin in OS, Phone, Windows 7, iPhone on 08 21st, 2009 | 1 Comment

Well we finally received access to the Windows 7 Pro RTM, personally I’ve been running an RC for several month and think its the most polished version of Windows yet, but many people will find it difficult to adjust to.

I’ve ran into a few issue with getting its Bluetooth support working with my iPhone, it appeared with the yellow triangle exclamation icon, not sure why, but this can be fixed by right clicking the phone icon, going to properties -> services and unticking the Wireless iAP option, click ok, right-click on the phone icon and select Connect using -> Access point.

Setting up PPTP on CentOS 5

Posted by Kelvin in Linux, OS on 02 25th, 2009 | 3 Comments

I’ve recently setup a new home linux server to act as an email, media and development server, the final piece of the puzzle was to setup relatively secure remote access which can be connected to easily from anywhere – My preferred method for this is using a PPTP VPN.

I’ve configured several servers with PPTP support, but I always lose the link to the distro specific downloads, so future reference here they are http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/
