Anybody used MSN as their ISP?

My phone and DSL service is provided by Qwest. I can save a nice chunk of money by bundling my internet service with MSN as my ISP. I would only use MSN to get me to the internet, so I wouldn't need any of their "services" or email. I'm just wondering if anybody has used MSN, and if so, I'd like to know how reliable they are as an ISP. I can't belive I'm even considering something that Microsoft is involved with, but money talks.

Made the switch and everything has worked well.

  • Function Module not released yet. Has anybody used them in their programs?

    Hi
    I am trying to use the barcode functionality during a goods movement 101 (using MIGO). As we donu2019t have any control of SAPu2019s barcode functionality thru configuration in MIGO I have developed a custom popup and I am calling this in a BADI implementation MB_MIGO_BADI. Once the user enters the barcode then I call Function module ARCHIV_BARCODE_GLOBAL to save the barcode to the standard tables.
    This Function module is not released to the customers and it was last changed on 11/12/2004.
    My question is should I be using this Function module in my BADI implementation even though it is not released (does not have a release date) ?. Has anyone of have used a unreleased Function module in your programs?.
    Additionally I need this info
    I am using ECC 5.0. If anyone of you is using ECC 6.0 or higher can you please check and let me know if this FM ARCHIV_BARCODE_GLOBAL is released or not or when was it last changed.
    Please advice me at you earlist
    Thanks of your time

  • Anybody using MainStage as their only live mixer?

    I'm interested in mixing small combo gigs and maybe even some corporate a/v stuff using MainStage on my MacBook Pro in place of a mixing board.
    I'd probably get a small MIDI controller like the Korg nanoKontrol for quick access to a few key parameters, but I'm not looking to get all King Tubby about it. Also, I'd like to keep the overall footprint small.
    I'm figuring I would go with 8 in's and out's via my MOTU 896, and hook up to a power amp and speakers.
    Thoughts? Experiences?

    here's what I'm thinking about:
    Came up with this idea the other day and going to start working on it in the next couple weeks. 8 channel firewire interface (eventually 16) into mainstage setup as a virtual mixer like a lot of people have done...and then using touchosc on the iphone/ipod touch as my wireless control surface to control the live mix. then using the 2 of the outputs on the interface for the mains, and then having 4 independent monitor mixes for each musician using powered monitors on stage. This method will hopefully allow me to save presets for each song.
    http://www.hack2learn.org/wp-content/gallery/touchosc-vdmxinterface/TouchOSC-Int erface%20006-wText.png
    touchosc is program on the iphone that is basically an interface that allows you to put whatever- buttons/faders/rotary knobs/pads/eqs/x-y grids/ect -that you want on up to 4 pages...if you google it you'll get some ideas of what all you can program on it...the iphone then connects to your computer over a wireless network and sends OSC signals to the computer...then use a program like osculator that converts those signals to midi signals that can be sent to mainstage...then use the learn function to map all of your parameters..and thats basically it. You would think that there would be latency going over wifi, but i hooked this thing up to ableton to use it like a small MPC beatpad, and there was no latency at all. Of course i created a direct wireless network from my mac to my iphone..that might have helped...
    now obviously an iphone or ipod touch is small, but imagine doing all of this on an IPad? yes? I'm really excited about the IPad for this one reason almost...the idea of controlling the live sound "wirelessly" with a 10inch touch screen device from any part of the room...It theoretically sounds doable, but gonna have to go through some major testing before i rely on it.
    the one part i havn't figured out yet is to be able to run a headset with built in mic into the IPads headphone jack to use for monitoring and as a talkback mic to the stage. If only the IPad could run multiple programs at a time.

  • Does anybody use ChaRM with their BW system?

    We are looking to implement Charm for our BW system and I am looking for somebody that has experience with this. For example if you extract a new field from your ECC system and transport it via Charm, does the system recognize that this transport needs to finish generating the data in BW before it moves the next transport in line? Or do you have to manually import these transports into BW?

    Horst,
    We already have Charm for ECC, CRM, SCM, Portal and the setup is not really a problem. The issue I have around BW is really a different one. Today, without Charm, we have the issue that the transports are not going in in the sequence that they are released (the BW manager gives us the sequence he wants them to be moved) and that in between transports we have to wait until the generation of data in BW is done, before the next transport can move. This takes a lot of time and as this needs to be done in off hours it keeps a person busy on the weekend, which ideally I want to avoid going forward as we are not staffed for that.
    So my question is if we are doing something wrong in general around the transports we do for BW (so that we have to wait and change transport sequences and do stuff manually) and if Charm is only going to make it worse....
    Looking for tips and tricks on how we can get this to go automated... . How can we get this to improve?
    Can you give me a few details on how your transports are going through for BW and if you encounter any of the above problems or how you might have resolved them?
    Thanks for your reply and thoughts on this

  • Anybody using their intel i-mac for professional use?

    Is anybody using Intel i-Mac for professional use? (Music or video production?). I went to the Apple store here and checked the Powermac G5 2.0, Intel i-Mac and a Macbook pro. They all seem equally fast. (I tried loading songs in Garageband, opening multiple apps, switching between them, loading samples etc). What's your experience?

    Have been using PhotoShop and InDesign and have found "saving" to be a problems sometimes when you have made a number of changes. The spinning ball keeps spinning. Suggest that anyone using it (Rosetta) save more frequently as I've had to Force Quit on some documents more frequently with loss of work.

  • Once and for all: is video/audio chat from Mac to PC using MSN possible?

    I've read all the posts, and all the jabber guides, and Mercury stuff, and it all seems like a huge hassle. I have a friend overseas who uses MSN (like EVERYONE overseas). he has a pc (again, like everyone overseas since Macs are 2x as expensive over there) with a webcam. I have AIM, MSN, and Yahoo accounts. I run Adium, and I can text with him but no vid or audio options are there. so, simply put, why is this so darn difficult? I suppose if we both had skype, that would be one solution. here are my questions:
    - why is there no audio or video in adium? (if there's a post on their site that I should have read, forgive me)
    - why doesn't MSN messenger for the Mac support audio and video?
    - does jabber really allow AV chat using the MSN protocol? (once the 15 or so setup steps are completed)?
    - is there, or will there be, a simple solution to this?
    I have many, many friends both in the US and overseas, and all my friends overseas have PCs and MSN and webcams, and I have a very advanced MacBook, and I can't communicate with them the way I should be able to.
    thanks! and I apologize if any of this has been covered in other posts, but I wanted to get it all down in one place.

    Hi
    i would say use Skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
    aMSN and Mercury only do video no audio, these are the only 2 progams that do video on the MSN network.

    We were going to use jikes when we switched to 1.3, but had a few problems
    with it. It compiles much faster than Sun's JDK, but it would
    occasionally crash. We could recompile the stuff that crashed andproceed,
    but that concerned us (I don't recall if there was anything else). So we
    bought the latest version of VisualCafe (Professional and Enterprise
    Editions have a fast 1.3 compiler) since we had used their 1.1 compiler in
    production in the past.We've been using Jikes for months now without any serious problems. I've
    never known it to crash. (Jikes 1.12, JDK 1.3, Redhat Linux 6.2, WL 5.1) The
    caveat I could offer you is that Jikes is much more willing to generate
    warning messages than javac. In particular, I've noticed that it will throw
    annoying messages on Weblogic's ejbc-generated code unless you specifically
    suppress warnings.

  • Network Drive Mapping for users who have Port 445 (possibly others) Blocked by their ISP to a Server 2008 system

    Nice to see my original posts are still up.  I was hoping that in the ensuing time someone had found a solution.  At least I can now see many other posting the same problems.  :)  Thought I was losing it for a while.
    We have 100% proven that the problem (in our case) is from the ISP blocking port 445 (possibly others but 445 for SURE) with the reasoning that it prevents the spread of some Internet "worms".  It also just happens to prevent people who work
    from home from being able to map to their network drives at work.
    What I was hoping was that eventually someone would comer up with a solution for this short of having to load a server using a different OS from Windows.  The SMB protocol is the one needing port 445 as far as I can tell.  Not all ISP block
    port 445 and the laptops that use those ISP's  have no problem.  Unless they travel.  Then it is "hit or miss" as to whether the ISP for the Hotel they stay at blocks it.
    I have run multiple tests to prove that this was in FACT the problem.  Even the particular ISP in question which is a very large national ISP company freely admits they do this supposedly to prevent the spread of an unnamed Internet Worm.  It also
    happens to prevent Business use of their Internet by Home Subscribers at they cannot map to their Business Servers which also need port 445 to map.
    I have used WebDAV successfully to get around this but at a huge loss of speed and performance.  Cloud services all do essentially the same thing and all have pretty much the same loss of speed.
    If anyone has come across a method of allowing a drive mapping to be rerouted to any other port, that is the only hope I have short of changing to an alternate OS for the Office Server and even then I cant be sure until I try if it would help.  I read
    somewhere about the possibility of routing through a proxy but again, the problem would still be that the requests for mapping are expected on port 445 on the server and they will not get through even to the proxy since the originating ISP is the one blocking
    the port from the User's system. 
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated  I have posted this question now for several years with no one yet providing a working solution.  Hope burns Eternal though :)

    Yes, OwnCloud is an option as well as many others.  Even self hosted Cloud services such as the WD MyCloud all work.  The problem is speed.  JungleDisk is the best I have found so far.  I am not sure exactly what they use to allow the
    drive mapping but it seems to work faster that anything else I have found.
    VPN's don't work.  At least none of them I have tried.   I can connect a VPN with no problem.  But still cannot map a drive over it.   Actually, there are some issues with the VPN as well but these are just a matter of methodology. 
    Mapping to the FQDN works for some people while others require the public IP.  Some users on some ISP's can map using the FQDN, others have to map to the IP.  That in itself was a bit odd.
    I have tried every trick I could find including adding  the IP and/or FQDN to the Windows Hosts file on the server as well as on the client systems.  This actually did help to get the VPN to connect in some cases.  However, it still would
    not allow me to map a drive letter.
    I can create a Network Place,  This also works.  But it will not allow me to MAP that "network place" to a drive letter.  I have tried multiple utilities that allow mapping of Drive letters to almost anything but they wont work to map to a
    Network Place.
    The software that needs the mapped drive is a SQL database which runs on port 2004.  The program itself has no problems at all connecting to the server to run the database.  Even on systems which cannot map to the needed drive letter for the documents
    referred to in the database.    Users can run it and look up all kinds of material but it it is only a half-solution since the database refers to files stored in a "common-mapped" drive letter.  Which I cannot Map.
    I have tried every possible configuration of the VPN setup I could find, I have even tried a "Test System" with the NIC connected directly to the T1 Modem.  With all firewalls off and no AV software.  Even if that had worked,  there is no
    way I could run like that.  But it didn't.  Same issues.  All this did was put the blame squarely on the User's ISP which was the only reason I did it.  I had to rule out even the slightest chance that it was something in our equipment.
    This was already almost a certain fact since the same user could take their laptop to a WiFi Hotspot at a fast food restaurant and connect as well as map the drive.  As soon as they went back home, no drive.  On the ones I could convince to pay
    the extra charges, if they switched to a business connection from their ISP, No Problems.
    On most MiFi or other Cellular Internet devices, No Problem,  Although that had a habit of changing.  We had a few that worked for a while, then they got a software update for their MiFi which immediately blocked the ability to map.  Others
    it would be that some models of Cellular HotSpot units worked while other would not work even if both came from the same carrier.
    Coincidentally, we had none of these problems before two other events occurred: 
    One was the release of Server 2008 R2, (which was a kid of "surprise" change for all of us used to Server 2008 R1.  Welcomed changes, but not expected with a simple SP release. 
    The other was IPV6 finally became a reality:  June of 2012.
    This left us with much head scratching as to what was the real cause of the problem.  It took months to narrow it down to port blocking by the Outside ISP's with a 100% certainty.  Even tried reloading a system with Server 2008 R1 just to rule
    that out.  As well as disabling IPV6 on every network device.  The problem stayed with the User when Outside and which ISP they were connected to.
    Currently we are using a mix of normal VPNs for those who can run them, and CLOUD access for those who can't.  Even this is problematic since we have to keep both the local copy and the cloud copy in constant sync so that everyone sees the same versions
    of the same files on each one.
    Sorry to make this so long but I wanted to cover everything to show that we tried it all.  The only thing left short of getting the ISP's to remove the port blocks would be to find a way to route the SMB file requests around port 445 in some way. 
    I have been told that this is easy enough if using a file system other than Windows but that is not an option even if true. 
    Thanks for the updates and ideas.  I keep hoping that eventually there will be some secure method for mapping a drive letter that does not depend on having port 445.

  • Anybody using Epson 4490 scanner w/ Arch?

    Hi, folks--
    I need a good but reasonably priced photo scanner that works with Linux. I am finding that the choices are quite limited, but the Epson 4490 looks like a possibility. However, it requires the 3rd-party iscan driver to work with any Linux distro; the company that develops that driver tests a number of Linux distros, but Arch is not on their list. So, I'm wondering, does anybody use this scanner with Arch? Any voodoo required to make it work?
    BTW, let's please not talk about Wine or any other Windows-based solution. I do need to scan, and will do what I have to to make it work, but any non-pure-Linux approach is a last resort. I would be open to suggestions of other scanners, though.
    TIA for your thoughts.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

  • Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?

    Hi,
    We have poor performance problems with 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2.
    It looks like the issue could be because of RAC Ccluster.
    Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?
    If so, What is the JDBC Driver r u using? Also what App Server (Weblogic or OAS etc) ?
    Appreciate your input.
    Regards
    Vijay Chinnasamy

    We are using weblogic 10.3. And I am sorry to tell you that we are yet to move to production.
    We are planning to have Database in RAC, so i just thought of taking inputs from you.
    can you tell me under what operations you face the poor performance issue?
    For us the max no. of users in production is around 6k. So I am wondering how this RAC availability will affect the performance.
    Thanks for sharing your inputs.

    i am about to upgrade my ipod and want to give my old ipod nano to a friend. what do i need to do so thay can use it on their computer and create their own itunes account?

    Connect it to iTunes, select the Nano in the "devices" column and click "Restore". The warning window you get will ask you if this is what you really want to do.
    Your very lucky friend will essentially have it in the same condition as if she bought it new.
    One more thing: if you registered it in My Support Profile, make sure to un-register it. Only you can do that. Have your friend register it under her own Apple ID.
