All that counter does is actually do a better job of presenting an accurate picture of how much battery life you have. You indicate the battery lasts for 45 minutes, that's the life of the battery as it is now. If however, your laptop is indicating that it has 2 hours of life, that's the counter.

Re: Help with a Juniper Netscreen firewall

The port forward is done as a VIP - the policy enables that VIP to actually forward the traffic. You need both for it to work. The custom service looks okay. It's in use because it's listed in a policy/VIP - the in use prevents it from being deleted. Check your VIP settings for your WAN interface.

In addition to the port forwarding, you will need to setup a separate policy for that traffic to hit the necessary box on your internal network. You should already have similar HTTPS and SMTP policies in place, if those protocols are working. What is showing up in the logs for this traffic?

You can give this a try. http://www.winzero.ca/ServerMigrator.html It can do what you want even if it is called Serve Migrator. You can even have it do a dry run to see where there could be problems. On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 12:20 PM, Paul Hutchings paul.hutchi...@mira.co.ukwrote: You know the

Could use something like SyncbackPro. Probably overkill for your situation and would take just as long to script a one time operation. But it's cheap and has plenty of filter and logging options. From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent:

For me, these aren't one-off problems... They happen often enough, with only minor detail differences. I have a script (acopy.bat) that I use to copy files from one location to another. You could call it as follows: for %v in (dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4) do acopy \\source\share\%~v

No need to kill anything. Just type explorer . from an elevated command prompt. Putting a parameter on the command line is important. You'll get a new process that's elevated, regardless of the launch folder windows in separate process setting. Carl -Original Message- From: Kurt
