Vista Error -No Logon Server Available While Logging


While booting VISTA I got an error: No Logon Server Available

Error:-There are currently no logon server available

This generally happens, if you are out of office and your password got locked or changed. And you’re trying to logon with new password. Because you are out of office and you don’t have the office network available and new password always needs authentication from the server before it get stored to your local profile.


Solution:Log on to the machine locally (Connect to your office VPN, if you are not in the office)

Open command prompt and type Net Time file://servname/ (Your Server Name - Domain Server or DNS Server)

AAfter the command completed successfully, ALT + CTRL+Delete and choose switch user and you will be able to login with the new password now

Transfer Files Lightning Fast With FastCopy

Free application FastCopy is a portable replacement for the standard Windows Explorer file copying mechanism. FastCopy's interface is rather cluttered but the file transfer speeds are fantastic. Copying ISO files, thousands of pictures, and other test files was extremely fast. You can opt to not overwrite, overwrite by newest or biggest file, and sync when transferring files with FastCopy. We've covered another popular file copier replacement here before, TeraCopy, and you might be wondering how FastCopy stacks up against it.

GMAIL - In-box preview makes Gmail's loading less painful

Gmail has a new feature in its labs section aimed at people with bad connections who still want to use the fancypants JavaScript-filled "new" version of the popular Web mail service. It shows a quick preview of the latest 10 messages while Gmail's loading bar makes its slow march toward completion.
You can't actually read these messages, but you can quickly see if you have new ones. Users on a fast connection will only see the preview for a mere second or two before the in-box opens up. But for those on the very thread of a cellular data line, or on some chuggy dial-up, Google is pitching this as a simple way to see if those latest messages are worth the loading wait.
While relatively useless to users with fast connections, this is still a nice alternative to switching over to the HTML version of Gmail, which survives for the sake of compatibility on older machines and browsers. The switch over to that version forgoes many niceties such as no page refreshing, and the use of Gmail labs features.

Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers

This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets.
