Question about IPSec Drops

                   I'm having a problem with a customer with traffic being sent over IPSec.
From the show crypto session detail command I see that the ipsec flow is dropping the packets
    180 permit ip 161.228.156.192 0.0.0.31 host 160.131.225.47 (444 matches)    190 permit ip 161.228.156.192 0.0.0.31 host 160.131.225.48 (3 matches)   IPSEC FLOW: permit ip 161.228.156.192/255.255.255.224 host 160.131.225.47         Active SAs: 0, origin: crypto map
        Inbound:  #pkts dec'ed 0 drop 0 life (KB/Sec) 0/0
        Outbound: #pkts enc'ed 0 drop 444 life (KB/Sec) 0/0
  IPSEC FLOW: permit ip 161.228.156.192/255.255.255.224 host 160.131.225.48
        Active SAs: 0, origin: crypto map
        Inbound:  #pkts dec'ed 0 drop 0 life (KB/Sec) 0/0
        Outbound: #pkts enc'ed 0 drop 3 life (KB/Sec) 0/0
My ACL is showing that the exact packets being sent are being dropped
    180 permit ip 161.228.156.192 0.0.0.31 host 160.131.225.47 (444 matches)
    190 permit ip 161.228.156.192 0.0.0.31 host 160.131.225.48 (3 matches)
My thinking is that the packets being sent are somehow not matching what the ipsec parameters are and it is dropping those packets, but I am just wondering why they would match.

i read that IKE phase one  for IPSEC uses the asymetric cryptography and the second uses the symetric one.
both can be the case but as a general rule it's not correct.
should i understand that with pre-shared key there is no asymetric cryptography in IKE phase 1?
yes and no ... ;-)
You always have the Key-Agreement with Diffie-Hellman which is also an asymetric mechanism. That takes place both with PSK and digital certificates (rsa-sig).
For authentication - and that's probably what you are referring to - with PSKs there is no public-key operation but a couple of hash-operations.If you authenticate with digital certificates you have plenty of public-key operations where digital signatures are computed and also checked.

  • Question about air drop.

    I have an iMac and mac book pro and it is great to be able to air drop files from one to the other. Does anyone know of a way to air drop (or other means) to transfer iPhoto contents from one computer to the other?

    Works here in Aperture (so should also work in iPhoto) -  just drag a photo out of that and drop onto a machine in Air Drop, done. Cheers!

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
    Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse

  • Questions about Prompts -

    Hi,
    I have two questions about Prompt.
    1) We have a dashboard with multiple tabs - We have noticed the Prompt Values copy from one tab to another. User doesn't want this to happen. Every tab should have there own default. Is it possible that previous tab prompt value should not copy to another tab prompt.
    2) Is there a possible to have a prompt with Multi Select and Enterable field.
    Thanks,
    Poojak

    hi,
    Please see the answers below
    1)You can set the dashboard prompt scope to 'Page'.In this way it will affect reports present only on that page
    2)you can make a dashboard prompt 'Multiselect'.By default it will be drop down.If you go to your prompt there are options for these configuration.
    Thanks

  • Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

    Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
    In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
    The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
    1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
    2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
    3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
    If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
    Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

    Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
    everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
    are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
    mail, it might never really catch up.

    This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
    above switch this might get resolved as well.

    Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
    the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

    No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
    extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

I would like to be able to connect to a computer on a home network through a linksys E2500 router. I have found alot of documentation on connecting to an external vpn from a computer on the lan side of the router, but nothing on connecting from the outside in. The router does have a static ip address with my internet provider, so I can contact the router from the outside. But makeing the connection to the computer on the other side of the router is where I am missing something or I dont realize that it is not possible. On the lan side I am using DHCP to assign the address to the computer I want to connect to. Perhaps I need to make it have a static address also? I realize that when I configure the connection from the outside that I need to direct the connection to the remote computer in some way, unless vpn connections are fully passed through the router and the connection issue I am haveing is with the "inside" computer.

  • Question about Domain file size...

    I have a dot Mac account, and my iDisk capacity is 1 Gb.
    As I regularly back-up my Domain file from my G5 iMac to a FW external drive that sits on my desk, I have just noticed that the file size is now just over 1 Gb.
    Can someone please explain to me why I still have almost 700Mb left on my iDisk, yet my Domain file size is over 1 Gb?? Obviously, there must be 'internal' files that aren't copied to the iDisk.
    Thanks,
    Rachel.

    Wow, that's quite a discrepancy. 1gb Domain vs. 300mb site? Well suffice it to say that the Domain file contains all the information that is needed to generate your site. But it makes me curious too why you have such a large discrepancy. Do you have a lot of video on your site?
    My site is only about 50-60mb and my Domain is roughly the same size. When I first started using iWeb, I used to poke around inside the Domain file quite a bit more than I do now. You can open up your Domain file by Control-clicking it and selecting "Show Package Contents." At one point early on when I was blithely dragging and dropping stuff into iWeb and publishing just for experimentation, I noticed that even after I deleted images or EVEN WHOLE PAGES, that sometimes the Domain file would still contain images and quicktime movies left over from the deleted pages. I didn't know what was going on and actually tried to delete the "old" items from the Domain file, but I ended up with a non-functional Domain file...lots of error messages saying it was missing this and that. So I started over completely with a new Domain file. I also noticed at the time that my Domain file was several megabytes larger than my site.
    Since then, I have been very careful only to drag items to iWeb that will actually be used. The Domain-to-site size ratio has stayed pretty much 1:1. So I chalked up my earlier experience as a fluke. I don't know. Maybe there is an inconsistency somewhere. In fact, do a search here on "Domain file optimizing" or "Domain file bloat" and you may be able to find my questions about the issue. I never did get any responses, though.

  • Questions about OLE containers

    Hello,
    I try to use an OLE container for save any type of documents, the majority are Microsoft Word (*.doc), Acrobat Reader (*.pdf) and images (*.jpeg, *.jpg, *.bmp, ...)
    I prove to insert a document an save it in the database and all works fine. The document is saved in a BLOB column, and if I try to activate the OLE container I view the document correctly, but I have questions about OLE container:
    1.- Once I saved the document into the database (the icon of the document is shown into the OLE container), if I query the database to retrieve the documents, the OLE container not shown the icon of the document, and if I try to activate the OLE container, making double-click, it doesn't make anything.
    I think that the query to the database don't retrieve correctly the documents into the OLE container.
    2.- Once I saved the document into the database (the icon of the document is shown into the OLE container), if I try to activate the OLE container, depend the document I need to do twice double-click to open the document.
    If I try to open a Word document (*.doc) it need one double-click to activate, but if I try to open an Acrobat document (*.pdf) it need twice double-click to activate.
    Why? How can I open any type of documents with one double-click?
    3.- The form that I develop will work in client-server and in web mode.
    The problem is that if I try to run the form into web mode with OLE container, I have an error:
    "FRM-92100: Se ha interrumpido la conexión con el Servidor. Puede ser el resultado de un error de red o fallo en el Servidor. Debe reestablecer la conexión", and if I click in Details I have "Java Exception: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ...".
    If I delete the OLE item, it works fine, and I don't have any errors.
    I know that OLE container doesn't works in web mode, because this I will develop this functionality with JavaBean, but I would like that in client-server mode works with OLE container.
    There are any way to do this, that in web mode doesn't has this error, and in client-server mode works with OLE container?
    Thank you very much

    2. If you use Time Machine you can't browse those pictures on the Movable DIsk. It's not designed to work like that.
    3. Don't use copy and paste, try drag and drop instead.
    You don't tell us how you are managing these photos. I suggest that you use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the everything. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Questions about rebuilding with end goal of mortgage in 1.5 -2 years

    Hello all. I have been reading the forum diligently for the last few months, but I’m in a conundrum as to what to do next in my rebuilding process and was hoping for advice. Here’s a snapshot of my current situation. In 2008- 2009 I had a sudden lay off and a long term relationship end. I was left holding what seemed like insurmountable debt.  I paid the collections (didn’t know about PFD) but was still left with a credit report that had a bunch of lates, a collections account and a paid judgement.  All accounts closed on me with the exception of a JCP that I had forgotten about, but American Express sent me a preapproval for the Optima Card with a 700 CL. I took it gratefully, and went off to lick my woundsAfter years of struggling in a few low paying jobs I’ve made it back to my former status salary wise and I’m looking to get myself into a small home in the next 1.5 to 2 years. What’s on my credit report? JCP( 2008) – 4800 CL again thanks to his forum, hit the luv button and got a huge CLIAmex Optima ( 2009) – 2100 CL (thanks to the 3x Amex thread I got my first CLI in years on this card)Credit Union Visa(3/ 2013)- 2500 – this card hasn’t budged in two years, but is my lowest interest rate.Care Credit (10/2014) -1500 CL wish I had known about the recon when I apped for this card.

I want to avoid a car payment until I buy a house, however, does it make more since to get a loan from my CU to flesh out my report or should I go ahead and app for those two credit cards after that Collection falls off and my Discover ages a bit?   Thanks in advance for any insites.

    Thanks Dagsky. Any ideas on how long I should take to pay the loan back for best score?  I'm wondering if I should I have it paid off before I look for a mortgage. Also, what do you consider to be small? I was thinking of taking a year to pay back 1000 to 1500. I have some concerns about score dropping when the loan was paid off as well. 
    Thanks again!Small as in no more than $500. Terms as long as you can get.  If your CU won't go more than 12 months, go somewhere else. SDFCU for example, will go 36 months on a $500 secured loan at 3.99%, monthly payments of $14 and change. 

  • Simple question about mount and delay script

    Hello, I have a simple question about mounting volumes on start up.
    My computer wakes up auto - and then auto there are serveral applescript tasks (mount and start up programs)
    I use this script (daily) for serveral connections with external volumes I always need the connect to. ( In the script I use this code 3 times for other locations) I do this on start up.
    set Uname to "XXX"
    set Pword to "XXX"
    set someVolume to "afp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XXX/XXX
    mount volume someVolume as user name Uname with password Pword
    (same code for 2 other locations)
    When i do this on start up sometimes the script says there is no connection possible. I guess it's because on start up the connection isn't there. And 1 minute later when computer is total ready the connection is ok. When I run the script then It works. Just sometimes ( In the morning) 'It' want to connect but the script stops. When i do it manually(I run the script again) it works just fine.
    Is it possible that I need a delay? Can someone explain this?
    How would I make a delay handler for this script? Is that the best solution?
    Thanks in advance. This is something small i'm wondering about.
    Colin

    BTW, If you saved the script as an application +(and not as an application bundle)+ you could drop the script on to *Drop Script Backgrounder* (freeware).
    Then the script would run in the background, so, you wouldn't see it running in the Finder.

  • Best Practices: Question about Passing DataSet to Crystal through C#

    I have used the tutorial provided by Business Objects and have successfully passed a dataset from C# code to Crystal Reports.
    I have a few questions about "best pratices" though.
    It appears that when passing the dataset to crystal then you no longer have the ability to put SQL Expressions in the report anymore otherwise errors will occur.
    So, I'm trying to come up with a way to have a custom field in the SELECT statement and have it show up on the report as a field. So, in the below example I created a custom SQL field called TIMES7 in the query.
    "Select CLM_ID, CLM, PAID_111X, *(PAID111X * 7) As TIMES7*_ From WIKI.MULCRICKET WHERE CLM_ID < 5"
    If I create a formula field in Crystal and set it's value to {MULCRICKET .TIMES7} then it works like a hybrid SQL Expression at run-time.
    This does work but has issues because the database field doesn't really exist in the design environment which causes error when the formula is saved. But it does work at run-time.
    I was wondering if their was a best practice for this?

    So why are you using a formula that doesn't work? If it errors in the designer it's telling you it's not supported.
    Drop the formula into a filed and hide it if you don't want it displayed, this way it gets into the record selection formula.
    "Best Practices" is don't use formulae that won't verify in the Designer. "If it doesn't work in the designer it won't work in code"
    If you need to add an "unknown" field at run time then use RAS to insert the field.

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.

    Radio/Remote Review.
    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

  • Question about battery maintenance and longevity

    I have a question about the efficacy of the built-in battery maintenance of the Lenovo Power Manager utility; specifically how it pertains to my W520, if that makes any difference.
    With my previous laptop (an HP), any time I knew it would be parked on my desk for a week or longer, I would manually discharge the battery to about 40% and remove it to run the machine on AC power only.  This proved to be an excellent practice that enabled the battery to work like new for three solid years.  As soon as I stopped bothering with that, the battery life started dropping like a stone.
    Lenovo's power manager offers the option to maintain the battery automatically or manually override it to maintain a charge within specific range.  But I am wondering: how well this will work in the long run as compared to handling it manually?  And how do the two options (automatic and manual range) compare with eachother in terms of maintaining long term?
    I currently use the manual setting and keep it between 40% and 45%.

    I would put into manual, you have more control. Automatic follows a preset rule, which may not apply in every case or battery model.
