Excel Computer Poso

Ngenet Sepuasnya....

2008-12-24T19:50:00.011-08:00

Dengan meemanjatkan syukur yang berkepanjangan...kami hadir di kota Poso dengan membuka warnet (warung internet) dengan nama EXCEL-internet-computer-service. Internet kami juga bisa dinikmati dengan jaringan wireless, dengan area seputar 1 km.
Dari hasil pengetikan dan service computer, kami memberanikan diri untuk hadir di kota poso dengan suasana yang beda. walaupun masih keterbatasan computer untuk user/pelanggan warnet.

Impian membuka wanet ini berawal dari rekan kerja, yang sebelumnya telah membuka jasa internet ini, trims buat deci/Geonet Palu yang telah memberi support.
provider yang kami gunakan adalah Speedy, yang menurut orang lelet, tapi bagi kami sudah bersyukur untuk membuka cakrawala masyarakat poso.
ada beberapa tawaran provider yang memberikan penawaran seperti IM2 dan CMS. tapi kami belum sanggup bekerja sama, karena cost yang terlalu besar untuk ukuran kami.Mudah-mudahan saja bisa kami bekerja sama dengan provider lain. Rencana kedepan Excel computer akan mendirikan ISP sendiri, supaya bisa berbagi internet dengan warga poso yang ada dirumah dengan menggunakan wireless.
Oh ya..kami lupa sampaikan, bagi warga poso yang ingin belajar internet, kami juga membuka jasa bagi yang ingin belajar.
oke mungkin sampai disini dulu, kami informasikan. kami mohon do'a restunya untuk lebih menggembangkan usaha ini. trimssss...

Sebelum anda menjalankan program ini, sebaiknya backup dulu data & regedit anda sebelum nyesal.... :-)

Services You Can Disable

There are quite a few services you can disable from starting automatically.
This would be to speed up your boot time and free resources.
They are only suggestions so I suggestion you read the description of each one when you run Services
and that you turn them off one at a time.

Some possibilities are:

* Alerter - Sends alert messages to specified users that are connected to the server computer.
* Application Management - Allows software to tap directly into the Add/Remove Programs feature via the Windows Installer technology.
* Background Intelligent Transfer Service - The Background Intelligent Transfer service is used by programs (such as Windows AutoUpdate) to download files by using spare bandwidth.
* Clipbook - ClipBook permits you to cut and paste text and graphics over the network.
* Error Reporting Service - Allows applications to send error reports to Microsoft in the event of an application fault.
* Fast User Switching - Windows XP allows users to switch quickly between accounts, without requiring them to log off.
* Help and Support - Allows the XP Built-in Help and Support Center to run.
* IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service - You don't need this if you have other software to create CDs.
* Indexing Service - Indexes contents and properties of files on local and remote computers; provides rapid access to files through flexible querying language.
* IP SEC - Manages IP security policy and starts the ISAKMP/Oakley (IKE) and the IP security driver. If you are not on a domain, you likely don't need this running.
* Messenger - Transmits net send and Alerter service messages between clients and servers. This is how a lot of pop-up windows start appearing on your desktop.
* Net Logon - Supports pass-through authentication of account logon events for computers in a domain. If you are not on a domain, you don't need this running
* Network DDE - Provides network transport and security for Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) for programs running on the same computer or on different computers.
* NT LM Security Support Provider - Provides security to remote procedure call (RPC) programs that use transports other than named pipes.
* Performance Logs and Alerts - Collects performance data from local or remote computers based on preconfigured schedule parameters, then writes the data to a log or triggers an alert. If you don't need to monitor your performance logs, then you don't need this service.
* Portable Media Serial Number - Retrieves the serial number of any portable music player connected to your computer
* QOS RSVP - Provides network signaling and local traffic control setup functionality for QoS-aware programs and control applets.
* Remote Desktop Help Session Manager - Manages and controls Remote Assistance. If you are not using Remote Desktop you don't need this service.
* Remote Registry - Enables remote users to modify registry settings on this computer.
* Routing & Remote Access - Offers routing services to businesses in local area and wide area network environments. Allows dial-in access.
* Secondary Login - Enables starting processes under alternate credentials. This is what allows you to run an application as another user.
* Smart Card - Manages access to smart cards read by this computer.
* Smart Card Helper - Enables support for legacy non-plug and play smart-card readers used by this computer.
* SSDP Discovery Service - Enables discovery of UPnP devices on your home network.
* TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper - Enables support for NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) service and NetBIOS name resolution. This should not be needed in today's network environment.
* Telnet - Enables a remote user to log on to this computer and run programs, and supports various TCP/IP Telnet clients.
* Uninterruptible Power Supply Service - Manages an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to the computer.
* Universal Plug and Play Device Host - Provides support to host Universal Plug and Play devices
* Upload Manager - Manages synchronous and asynchronous file transfers between clients and servers on the network.
* Volume Shadow Copy Service - Manages and implements Volume Shadow Copies used for backup and other purposes.
* Web Client - Enables Windows-based programs to create, access, and modify non-local files across the Internet.
* Wireless Zero Configuration - Provides automatic configuration for the 802.11 adapters
* WMI Performance Adapter - Provides performance library information from WMI HiPerf providers.

Faster DOS Printing
If you are experiencing slow printing for DOS programs with Windows2000

1. Go Start | Run | Regedit
2. Click Hkey_Local_Machine
3. Click on System
4. Click CurrentControlSet
5. Click Control
6. Go to the bottom of this part of the list and click WOW
7. Click LPT timeout and change it to a 3

Cleaning the Prefetch Directory

WindowsXP has a new feature called Prefetch. This keeps a shortcut to recently used programs.
However it can fill up with old and obsolete programs.

To clean this periodically go to:

1. Star / Run / Prefetch
2. Press Ctrl-A to highlight all the shorcuts
3. Delete them

Increasing the Folder Cache

The default setting for WindowsXP is to cache the Explorer settings for 400 folders.
To increase it:

1. Start Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam
3. Change the vaule of BagMRU to whatever size you want (hex)

1000 - 3e8
2000 - 7d0
3000 - bb8
4000 - fa0
5000 - 1388

You can Dowload a reg file that will set it for 5000
Running SFC without a CD ROM

If you run sfc /scannow and get prompted to insert a CD,
there are a couple of changes you might need to make.

Slipstream your copy of WindowsXP with the latest service pack you have applied.
For detailed unstructions on how to do this see:
SlipStreaming a Service Pack into Windows XP

Once these files are on your hard drive, you can simply make a few registry changes to point to those locations.

Start Regedit

Go to the follow locations and change the path to wherever you copied the source files.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ServicePackSourcePath
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath
the last one might not be necessary
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SourcePath

Guest Only Network Access

If you try and connect to an XP computer and are shown a logins screen with only the computername/Guest,
You may need to change one of the Local Security Policies:

1. Got to Control Panel - Administrative Tools
2. Go to Local Policies - Security Options
3. Check teh Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
4. Set it to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves

Repairing Damaged Winsock2

The symptoms when Winsock2 is damaged show when you try to release and renew the IP address using IPCONFIG.

And you get the following error message:
An error occurred while renewing interface 'Internet': An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.

Also Internet Explorer may give the following error message:
The page cannot be displayed Additionally, you may have no IP address or no Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, and you may be receiving IP packets but not sending them.

There are two easy ways to determine if Winsock2 is damaged:

From the XP source files, go to the Support / Tools directory

Winsock Test Method 1
Run netdiag /test:winsock

The end should say Winsock test ..... passed

Winsock Test Method 2

1. Run Msinfo32
2. Click on the + by Components
3. Click on the by Network
4. Click on Protocol
5. There should be 10 sections if the Winsock2 key is ok

MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
RSVP UDP Service Provider
RSVP TCP Service Provider
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...

If the names are anything different from those in this list, then likely Winsock2 is corrupted and needs to be repaired.
If you have any 3rd party software installed, the name MSAFD may be changed.
There should be no fewer than 10 sections.

To repair Winsock2

1. Run Regedit
2. Delete the following two registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

DOS Tips in XP

Windows XP cmd tip (DOS isn’t dead... it just smells funny) Some command-line folder creation examples:

To create multiple folders at once, add them directly to the "md" command:

C:\> md this is a test

To create a folder several folders deep, use:

C:\> md this\is\a\test

Creating a folder with a long name requires the double-quote at the beginning:

C:\> md "this is a test

Bonus tip: Windows XP supports the forward slash "/" as a folder divider. Unix/Linux users: don't let the DOS environment get you down. Use a Unix-style CD command to change your present working directory:

C:\> cd Windows/system32/drivers/etc
Restoring Desktop Icon to the Quicklaunch Bar

If you mistakenly deleted the icon for the Desktop on the Quicklaunch toolbar

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
(where user_name is replaced by your login name)

Create a Text file called ShowDesktop.SCF with the following contents:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

SERVICE WINDOWS

2007-11-14T21:52:00.000-08:00

Mereka dijalankan tanpa permisi, mengurangi resources, dan bisa mengancam keamanan. Jadi, mengapa kita membutuhkan service Windows?

Apa yang paling pertama sekali dilakukan pada waktu PC baru datang? Sebagian besar orang akan mulai mengganti berbagai setting default Windows yang mengganggu. Sebagai contoh, Anda mungkin mengubah Explorer supaya dapat melihat file dan folder tersembunyi, atau Anda mungkin mengatur Taskbar dan Start Menu supaya mereka bekerja seperti yang Anda inginkan. Perubahan seperti itu boleh-boleh saja, tetapi mereka tidak menyentuh bagian Windows yang paling fundamental.
Setiap kali PC Anda dinyalakan, ia menjalankan beragam program yang dibuat untuk mendukung jaringan dan Internet, terlepas apakah Anda memerlukannya atau tidak. Beberapa bisa mengancam keamanan; semua mengambil sebagian dari RAM dan akan memperlama waktu boot. Namun kemungkinan Anda tidak akan menemukannya, karena fungsi-fungsi tersebut terkontrol dari satu opsi jauh di Control Panel. Tentu saja, kita berbicara tentang service Windows, dan pada kesan pertama mereka tidak nampak seperti ide yang bagus. Jadi, mengapa program yang tersembunyi memerlukan mereka?

Kapan Service Dijalankan?
Service Windows merupakan program yang menyediakan fungsi kepada aplikasi dan operating system. Jadi, mereka mempunyai prioritas utama untuk dijalankan terlebih dulu sebelum yang lainnya. Kenyataannya, mereka bahkan dijalankan sebelum Anda masuk ke Windows. Mengapa itu perlu dilakukan? Bayangkan Anda menjalankan web server. Tanpa service, Anda harus menyalakan PC, masuk, dan menjalankan program server. Namun, jika Anda harus pergi, PC tersebut bisa diakses oleh siapa saja. Akan lebih aman Anda jika meninggalkan sistem pada layar logon dan menjalankan web server secara background.

Atau mungkin Anda baru saja menginstalasi program antivirus, misalnya. Kemudian program harus dijalankan sebelum program start-up yang lain, untuk memonitor apa yang mereka lakukan. Itulah sebabnya semua utiliti antivirus menginstalasi diri mereka sendiri sebagai service, bukan hanya menambahkan entri ke folder Startup Anda.

Tentu saja, tampak suatu kesalahan yang jelas di sini, dan itu adalah bagaimana menghentikan Trojan dan virus yang mencoba menginstalasi diri mereka sendiri sebagai service? Sayangnya jawabannya adalah: tidak begitu banyak. Sejumlah program mencurigakan berusaha untuk melakukan itu. Namun, Anda bisa saja menghentikan mereka, tetapi hanya jika Anda mengetahui bagaimana sebenarnya service Windows bekerja.

Service Control Manager
Service biasanya hanya program Windows yang melakukan beberapa tugas secara background, tetapi menjalankan mereka bisa jadi sangat sulit. Sebagai contoh, tidak ada titik permulaan service yang menggunakan jaringan, sampai Anda menjalankan yang lain
supaya jaringan dijalankan—ketergantungan dan urutan permulaan sangat penting.

Windows XP memberikan semua kompleksitas tugas pengaturan tersebut ke Windows Service Controller (\WINDOWS\System32\services.exe). Controller berjalan dengan melihat nilai registry pada HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControl Set\Control\ServiceGroupOrder\List. Key tersebut menampilkan kelompok service berdasarkan urutan mereka dijalankan, jadi Primary Disk dijalankan sebelum Boot File System, Keyboard dijalankan sebelum Keyboard Class, dan seterusnya. Dengan menghubungkan diri mereka ke kelompok tertentu, service dapat mengontrol urutan mereka dijalankan.

Karena itu merupakan daftar entri, Anda dapat mengubah sendiri urutan boot service. Namun, jika Anda mencoba mengubah entri standar Windows PC Anda bisa saja crash lain waktu direstart, jadi harus sangat hati-hati. Jangan apa-apakan kelompok service kecuali jika Anda tahu betul apa yang Anda lakukan.

Selanjutnya, Controller membaca daftar service yang terinstalasi pada HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services. Jalankan Regedit, dan lihat HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\BITS untuk mengetahui apa yang dilihat oleh sistem.

Apakah BITS?
Entri DisplayName memberikan petunjuk: Background Intelligent Transfer Service. BITS adalah Transfer file in the background using idle network bandwidth dan kenyataannya ia merupakan service yang digunakan untuk mendownload Windows Update pada waktu Anda melakukan hal lain. Anda juga akan melihat entri untuk DependOnService, yang mengatakan bahwa BITS tidak bisa dijalankan sampai Rpcss berjalan. Controller menggunakan semua entri DepensOn untuk memastikan service yang terinstalasi dijalankan sesuai urutan.

ImagePath
Salah satu entri registry yang lebih penting adalah ImagePath, yang memberitahu Windows file executable yang menjalankan service tersebut. Pada BITS, itu adalah \WINDOWS\System32\Svchost.exe. Jika kemudian melihat daftar service pada registry dan melihat terus entri ImagePath, Anda akan melihat banyaknya Svchost.exe. Ini mungkin terlihat ganjil, jadi apa yang sedang terjadi?

Service Host
Svchost berfungsi sebagai generic host process untuk service yang terletak pada DLL lain. Service yang mana? Ini bisa ditemukan pada entri ImagePath, dengan command line parameter seperti LocalService. Pada waktu Svchost.exe menjumpai parameter seperti ini, ia mencari entri registry yang sesuai pada HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost. Sebagai contoh, dengan LocalService, ia menghasilkan daftar berikut: Alerter, WebClient, LmHosts, RemoteRegistry, upnphost, dan SSDPSRV.

Svchost berjalan dengan service yang pertama, dan mengecek parameternya (pada contoh ini HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Service\Alerter\Parameter). Key ini berisi setting ServiceDLL (\WINDOW\system32\alrsvc.dll), yang dijalankan dan digunakan untuk menjalankan service tersebut. Ia mengulangi proses tersebut untuk semua service. Apakah service dijalankan dari ImagePAth-nya sendiri, atau melalui DLL yang dijalankan oleh Svchost, Controller kemudian harus menunggu sampai ia menerima sinyal bahwa service telah dijalankan dengan baik. Jika tidak ada sinyal yang diterima, Controller akan melanjutkan, tetapi hanya setelah waktu timeout yang lama. Ini bisa menjadi alasan mengapa PC Anda permulaannya lambat.

Service Windows

Mereka dijalankan tanpa permisi, mengurangi resources, dan bisa mengancam keamanan. Jadi, mengapa kita membutuhkan service Windows?

Dampak Service Terhadap Booting
Setelah service dijalankan, ia harus mengirim pesan “Saya baik-baik saja sekarang” kepada Service Controller. Karena service lain bergantung kepada pesan tersebut, Windows harus menunggu sampai mendapatkan kabar baik. Meskipun demikian, Windows akan akan berhenti menunggu setelah kira-kira 30 detik.

Hal ini bisa memperlama waktu boot Windows, jadi mengurangi waktu tunggu tersebut adalah ide yang bagus. Jalankan Regedit, buka HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control, dan buat DWORD Value bernama ServicesPipe Timeout. Tentukan berapa lama Windows menunggu (dalam satuan milidetik).

Namun, apakah itu bijaksana? Pengurangan waktu tunggu berarti lebih banyak service yang tidak bisa dijalankan pada waktunya, memaksa Windows menjalankan mereka kembali, atau mungkin gagalnya service yang lain. Meskipun demikian, meningkatkan waktu tunggu berguna jika ada service yang jalannya lambat.

Account yang Mana?
Setiap program yang Anda luncurkan harus berjalan di bawah user account tertentu, yang menggambarkan apa yang dapat dilakukannya pada system Anda. Itulah mengapa kebanyakan aplikasi mengatakan bahwa mereka harus diinstalasi oleh account dengan hak Administrator, supaya mereka dapat mengubah registry.

Mengontrol Service
Service Controller akhirnya menyelesaikan tugasnya, dan menjalankan semua service Anda. Anda login dan menggunakan komputer seperti biasa. Namun, itu belum berakhir. Aplikasi lain bisa saja menjalankan dan menghentikan, atau me-restart service jika dibutuhkan. Salah satu dari service tersebut mungkin bergantung kepada yang lain, tetapi jika dimungkinkan Windows akan menjalankan service tambahan yang dibutuhkan.

Semuanya berjalan secara otomatis, tetapi Anda bisa mengambil alih. Pilih Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Services and Applications, Services, untuk menjalankan Services Control Applet atau Anda bisa klik Start, Run, dan ketik services.msc. Secara garis besar, applet ini menampilkan daftar semua service yang telah diinstalasi. Anda bisa melihat mana yang sedang berjalan saat itu; mereka ditandai dengan Started, dan account yang digunakan.

Untuk mematikan service, klik ganda service dan kemudian klik Stop. Menghentikan service yang tidak dipakai bisa meningkatkan kecepatan sistem Anda, tetapi jangan sembarangan. Beberapa service sangat penting bagi Windows, dan mematikan mereka bisa mematikan PC Anda (bahkan tidak akan akan mau reboot).

MENCARI SERVICE YANG BERMASALAH
Event Viewer sering menyimpan petunjuk yang berguna. Pesan yang paling sering yang mungkin Anda lihat kurang berguna adalah pesan Information, dengan kata-kata seperti “Service sent a start message” dan “Service running”. Namun, masing-masing pesan mempunyai stempel waktu, sehingga Anda bisa melihat menggapa booting menjadi lambat. Lihatlah service yang menunggu lama sebelum dijalankan.

Event yang lain ditandai dengan pesan Error. Di situ Anda akan melihat service yang tidak bisa dijalankan sama sekali. Mungkin, mereka adalah peninggalan dari program yang Anda instalasi dulu. Hal ini ini bisa memperlama waktu boot Anda, jadi akan lebih baik jika kita melakukan sesuatu terhadap mereka. Jika Anda mengetahui aplikasi yang bertanggung jawab atas service tersebut, coba instalasi aplikasi dan kemudian uninstall kembali. Berikutnya, ikuti urutan boot service dan hilangkan acuan ke service tersebut pada registry. Namun, hatihati; jika melakukan kesalahan PC Anda mungkin nanti tidak mau booting.

SERVICE RAHASIA
Mengetahui service pada PC Anda tidak selalu mudah. Seperti yang kita lihat di mana-mana, Windows seringkali menggabungkan service pada proses host bernama Svchost.exe. Ini lebih efisien dibanding mempunyai proses terpisah untuk masing-masing
service, tetapi juga menyebabkan beberapa masalah. Sebagai contoh, jika satu service mempunyai bug dan menghentikan proses, semua service yang lain juga akan hilang dan system Anda bisa crash.

Masalah lain adalah mencari service mana yang sedang dijalankan oleh masing-masing Svchost.exe. Ini sangat berguna jika salah satu tergantung atau menggunakan waktu CPU yang terlalu banyak. Periksa tab Process dari Task Manager, dan Anda akan melihat beberapa proses Svchost.exe, tetapi tidak ada informasi lebih yang tersedia. Anehnya, informasi paling lengkap di dalam Windows datang dari utiliti command-line. Buka jendela DOS, kemudian masukkan TLIST –S (Windows 2000) atau TASKLIST /SVC (Windows XP Professional) untuk melihat service yang terdapat pada masing-masing proses. Bahkan ini membutuhkan langkah lain. Ia akan memberitahu Anda bahwa Svchost.exe dengan ID proses 1028 (misalnya) menjalankan Dnscache, tetapi yang mana itu pada Task Manager? Untuk mengetahuinya klik tab Process, klik View, klik Select Column, dan kemudian periksa PID. Alternatif lain, download Process Explorer (http://www.sysinternals.com). Klik ganda semua proses yang berisi service (disorot dalam warna pink), dan klik tab Service untuk melihat isi mereka.
