A Wintry Morning with a Splash of Spring

Opening eyes in  a wintry morning,
Looking beyond the bed and
into the field of swirling daffodils
with amber bathed skies,
the sun hovering like a hot ball of fire
yet the heat of those flames is surprisingly soothing.
Walking into the fields for routine chores
expecting a cold hair raising gust
Instead being welcomed by the energy
in swaying flowers
The breeze acting a like a partner
in the marvellous dance of nature.
A day shall come soon when the flowers are dried
but they show no signs
 enjoying the breeze.
A splash of white on the otherwise golden land,
may we all see this beauty as the skies can.
 

WIndows 7 wifi hot spot

There are a lot of resources to convert your windows 7 machine to a wifi hot spot on the internet.
I am just trying to summarize some of the problems I faced and some of the things I tried in order to
make it into a hot spot.
I hope it can be of use to some one.

There are some applications that convert your laptop to a hot spot. One such application is the  virtual router software. Its pretty simple with a gui, few steps and we have a hot spot.
Heres a link for the same http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/


The second method is through the terminal or command prompt
For that we need to create a virtual miniport adapter.
Once the  adapter is done a  few commands and the laptop is a wifi hot spot.

Go to  the command prompt.
Make sure you run it with administrator privileges or else it will not work.

Type the command
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=urname key=password

This should make the adapter.

Make sure that the adapter is enabled if you have disabled it previously

Make sure to enable wireless networking in the laptop before the next command

type in
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

this should give a message saying "the hostednetwork has started" in the command prompt.


To stop the hostednetwork type in
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

and you should get a message saying the "the hostednetwork has stopped"


To share internet connection with the network that you set you, perform the following steps.

Open the networking control panel
Go to the adapter currently connected to the internet.
Go in properties open sharing tabs
once the sharing tab is opened .
select the microsoft virutal adapter from the drop down menu.

If sharing is enabled on some other adapter you will get a warning and on accepting the sharing properties should change to your current network

Walla you have a wifi hotspot

cheers
