Windows 8.1 adds Router Alert - MLD option on ICMPv6 echo packets

I am unable to ping my company's IPv6 routers from my Windows 8.1 machine located at my home. When I start a Fedora Core 18 Live system in Hyper-V, and ping the same targets, I am able to get a response.
I have IPv6 dual-stack connectivity from end to end.
Traceroute from Windows system:

When I examine packet captures, I notice that the Windows 8.1 machine sets an IPv6 hop-by-hop option on all of the echo packets, a Router Alert for MLD. Sample below:

This seems to affect ping to other sites as well, including ipv6.google.com. I am able to ping that from Fedora Core.
Why is a router alert for MLD being propagated with my unicast ICMP echo? Can that behavior be disabled?
Thanks

Cisco ASA 5505 VPN connection issue ("Unable to add route")

I'm trying to get IPSec VPN working onto a new Cisco ASA5505. Pretty standard configuration.
Setup:
* Cisco VPN client on Windows 7 (v5.0.07.0290 x64 on Laptop1 and v5.0.07.0440 x64 on Laptop2)
* PPPoE/NAT and internal DHCP on the ASA were configured with the Startup Wizard in ASDM
NATting is working fine - internal PCs get an IP address in the 192.168.2.0/24 range and can all access the Internet.
I wanted to be able to connect from anywhere to the ASA in order to reach one of the internal servers. Should be pretty basic.
First I tried with the built-in ASDM IPSec Wizard, instructions found here.
VPN clients can connect to the ASA, are connected (until they're manually disconnected), but cannot reach the internal network nor the Internet. Note VPN client can connect fine to a different VPN site (not administered by myself).
Client logs show following error messages:

I've already tried the suggestions from this link, although the problem is different there (as the user can still access the internet, even without split tunneling, which I cannot).
A show run shows the following output (note in the below I have tried a different VPN network: 192.168.3.0/24 instead of 172.16.1.0/24 seen in the Client log)

Unfortunately I'm getting the same "AddRoute failed to add a route with metric of 0: code 160" error message.
I'm very confused as this should be a pretty standard setup. I tried to follow the instructions on the Cisco site to the letter...
The only "differences" in my setup are an internal network of 192.168.2.0 (with ASA IP address 192.168.2.254) and PPPoE with DHCP instead of no PPPoE at all.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Yes, I have tried from a different laptop - same results. Using that laptop I can connect to a different IPSec site without issues.
Please find my renewed config below:

How to add calendar alert

With the new Calendar app, how do you add an alert to an event? I want it to email me a day before. The 'alert' option no longer appears when you double-click an event.
Thanks

Click at the date in the event window and a submenu will open with the option for a alert message.
There are some submenus opening, if you click the visible headlines.

iTunes for Mac has never had an "Add folder to library" option. This is only available on Windows version.
Select Add to library, select the folder then click OK.
Or drag the folder(s) to the iTunes library at top left of iTunes.

Windows 7 upgrade: discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install?

I would like to know whether the Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install? I called Mentor today and was told the answer is no, but I was hoping someone here could tell me differently.
If "no" is truly the answer, I would like to voice my complaint: The upgrade discs from Microsoft (i.e. the retail upgrade discs) include both the 32 and 64-bit versions, so I don't completely understand why Lenovo's upgrade program doesn't offer the same thing. I purchased my T500 in August, and back then Vista Ultimate 64 was not offered, so I chose Vista Ultimate 32 thinking that I could later upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. This assumption was based off of the info. on Microsoft's website indicating that all upgrades would contain the 32 and 64-bit versions. I even customized my computer with 4 gigs of RAM thinking that I could take advantage of the extra gig once I installed Windows 7 64.
I don't understand what Lenovo or Mentor Media have to gain by restricting a 32 to 64-bit install. I voiced this opinion to Mentor Media over the phone, who responded by saying that I should be happy since I am receiving a "free" upgrade. I don't think this is an accurate assessment for two reasons: (1) I had to pay $17.03 for shipping, and I still haven't received the upgrade and (2) The total cost of my computer was almost $3,000, and the purchase was made a mere few weeks before Windows 7 was released. $3,000 is a lot of money. I waited for the details of the Windows 7 Upgrade Program to be announced BEFORE purchasing my machine. When I finally bought my computer I accounted Windows 7 into the price I was paying. In addition, when I bought this computer I did so expecting good customer service as a given. Not providing a 64-bit upgrade without a rational explanation as to why does not qualify as appropriate customer service.
As most of you know, 4 gigs of RAM is useless with a 32-bit OS. Also, NOW Lenovo is building new T500s with the option of having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (why wasn't Vista Ultimate 64 offered when I bought my computer???).  And the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 is EQUAL to the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 64, which proves that there is no cost difference. I just want to know what Lenovo has to gain by denying customers a 64-bit upgrade? There would really be no additional cost since as I mentioned before, Microsoft's retail upgrade includes the 32 and 64-bit OS on one disc. If anything I would think that it's costing Lenovo money to strip the 64-bit install from the upgrade discs.
Can anyone please address my problems? Do you think there is anyone at Lenovo I could contact to voice my opinions? I have been a loyal Thinkpad customer for over 5 years now, and I expect better from Lenovo. Thank you for reading!

Is there any way to request a 64-bit OEM? Why should Lenovo care whether I want a 32-bit or 64-bit as long as it's the same edition (Ultimate edition)?
if your system shipped with a 32-bit version of vista then you will be sent 32-bit windows 7 upgrade media.   the reason for this is two-fold.
first, because this is upgrade media, it's impossible to install a 64-bit version of windows over a 32-bit version.   doing so would require a clean installation and upgrade media simply won't allow this.   this is the case with retail media, too.   if you had 32-bit vista installed and wanted to upgrade it to 64-bit using retail media, you'd have to wipe your system or set up a dual-boot.
second, the COA (certificate of authenticity) on the bottom of your system is for vista.   because of this, your new license is of an upgrade from vista to 7.   this is how microsoft licenses it and it is their policy, not lenovo's.   microsoft's policy with OEMs is that you must install vista first, then upgrade to 7 (unless, of course, you purchased your system native with 7 on or after the 22nd).   since your original lenovo preload is of a 32-bit OS, the issue becomes circular and you'll have to refer again to the first reason.
i understand your frustration and wish this stuff were made easier for everyone.   it's repetative reading post after post of people with 4GB installed who don't understand the limitations of a 32-bit environment. i wish both manufacturers and users switched to 64-bit OSes sooner. the same thing happened when the industry went from 16-bit windows 3.11 to 32-bit windows NT4/95 and limitations went from 16KB all the way up to 4GB (which, in 1995, no one thought we'd ever exceed).   the difference is that people were complaining on BBSes over 14.4k modems instead of on GUI-based forums using broadband connections.   times sure have changed.

Windows 7 decide which route to take if THE PC Has 4 connection (4 X 1 Gig) available to internet

Hi Network experts
realy i need you to figure out the below
1)how windows 7 decide which route to take if THE PC Has 4 connection (add on 4 X 1 Gig) available to internet , the route print on windows machine shows the 4
connection with same metric (metric 10) , the adapter order is as follows
G1,G2,G3.G4
2)what about the less subnet id if each interface has less subnet id than other
3)the built in interface (gig 0) why have metric of 286 not 10 like others
thank you all

Hello.
As far as I remember, Windows uses ANY of the routes with equal metric.
I'm not sure if there is publicly available algorithm, but I believe it may switch from one interface to another if experience packet loss on the current.
So, the conclusion is: the outgoing interface is not predictable.
If you want any kind of reliability you would better to create port-channel and use FHRP on your routers.

how to add routing rule to route table?

Hi!
I supose your network configuration is OK.
I have some problems in order to configure mine under Solaris 10. But trying to change this, I found something that can help you.
In a terminal window, type "man route". I could add a new one, but, because I am not able to find how to change the IP gateway, it returns me an error.
I hope this can help you

Can't add mobile alerts to another account on my plan

My husband is the primary account holder on our account. I would like to add mobile alerts to my number--a secondary account under our plan. Every time I attempt to do this through the messaging drop down, I can only add alerts for the primary number. There is no drop down bar to select a different phone and while I can view my number, usages, and phone features, I cannot figure out how to add mobile alerts.
I have to say Verizon's website is the least user-friendly website I've ever encountered. I wonder how it ranks among competitors. It's a shame because otherwise I really love my service, but I dread having to use this website.

You need to create an account for YOUR phone number. Click on Register, and set up a separate username and password for your number only.
You'll need this for Backup Assistant, purchasing (if you chose to) ringtones and ringback tones, and other services, like the mobile alerts.
The main account is tied to one number, the PRIMARY number. That account/login has access to all the details for each of the numbers as far as calls, texts, etc, as well as billing information. Each of the other numbers can (and should) register, monitor their own usage only, and set certain options, alerts, manage contacts, etc. It has to be a separate login so Verizon can display specific information for that number, as wel as send the ringtones, alerts, and whatever to the number that is logged in.
Hope that all makes sense....

How to add an Alert Message

Hi, what steps must I take to add an alert message that reminds the Adobe Reader end user to Print their form if they wish to keep a record of their form data.
Also, where should such an alert appear, when and upon which event type?
Harry

Thanks Jimmy, unfortunately it doesn't work on my Submit button (which is where I do want it).. Here's what I have on the standard Submit button.
----- form1.SF_P8.SF_print-submit.EmailSubmitButton::click - (JavaScript, client) ------------------
xfa.messageBox("Please ensure you also print a copy for your records", Warning, 1, 1);
this makes my button do nothing at all, not even submit. I think it's because there are 2 events associated with it, the invisible "submit" and the new warning. Any suggestions?

Hp photosmart plus 210. Since changing to windows 8, I no longer have the options of "no scaling".

since changing to windows 8, I no longer get the options of "no scaling", my paper patterns are printing too small. they printed great before computer change and change to windows 8. no longer have the option of "no scaling". Where can I go to choose that option

Hi AbbyZiva
I understand since updating to Win8 you don't have the "no scaling" option available.
Did you uninstall and reinstall the printer after doing the Windows upgrade?
Here is a url for the drivers for the Photosmart Plus 200.
