Enable IP forwarding in /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Make that setting live

Windows 7 Home Premium administrative shares and remote registry service are both disabled by default, making them hard to administer remotely. Fortunately, it's easy to fix with direct access to the terminal:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy=1 sc \\TestComputer config RemoteRegistry start= auto
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
rmdir /q /s %WINDIR%\Installer\$PatchCache$
You must stop the Windows Installer service for the change to take effect.
Oh my God, this is the kind of stuff that makes you want to kill yourself. So basically I had this problem where I had two web applications that both used windows authentication mode, and each application had it's own app pool. The first one was working fine, then I published and attempted to run the second one, and all hell broke loose.
Wow, I learned a lot here; where to start? I think I'll start with this: Synchronization contexts are not native to console applications. This is going to cause you problems if you're trying to multi-thread your console applications or if, like me, you're trying to do asynchronous web requests from a console program. Luckily for you, if you already have a class written (as I do) that uses asynchronous web requests, the solution is pretty simple. If, however, you want to 'break out' work in your console program among several threads, you're gonna have a bad time.
So I've gotten it into my head to build my first really real real Android application, and since I know Debian so well I've chosen this as my development platform.
Like anything in Linux, this took some time and concentration to get working perfectly. I started with a basic desktop installation of Debian Squeeze, then I:
"HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows."
Unfortunately, there is no ebuild for it in portage, and building it by hand is kind of a pain. Fortunately, it is easy enough to add a portage overlay to get it installed.
Configure a new nginx server listening on an alternate port (61709 in this example). This allows access to this information to be controlled.
server {
listen 61709;
location / {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
}Reload Nginx
/etc/init.d/nginx reload
Add the following to the end of /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Typically this is caused by:
