Ok, so there are tons of guides out there that tell you that you can use your phone or tablet or iPod Touch, (wireless device) to make free calls but all those guides suck and are really complicated.

So let me introduce my awesome detailed guide for people who are not experts on this and simply want to get it to work.

Requirements:

• your choice of device (kinda obvious)
• access to internet from that device
• access to Google Play Store (android) or Apple Store (apple)
• a Google Account ( needed for Google Voice if you don’t already have one)
• 30 minutes of free time to kill

Got the requirements? Cool, let’s proceed.

I don’t have an apple product so i can’t give you exact directions but it’s the same idea.

First off, let’s go create a Google Voice account if you don’t already have one.

Go here: https://www.google.com/voice

setup your phone number, and be sure that in the phones page: (https://www.google.com/voice#phones) you have your Google Chat checked.

This is the final post on setting up and configuring Untangle on your network.

For a recap on our previous posts, see here:  -PART1- and -PART2-

Now that I have had Untangle running on my network for a while, you are able to see some things that might make more sense.

I have migrated it from “bridged” mode to “router” so it is now serving up DHCP and DNS, it still has a router between it and the network however i just turned DHCP off on that router so it get’s it from Untangle.

I also have it secured to only allow internal admin and I have OpenVPN setup so I VPN into the box in order to manage it, just a bit safer from brute force attacks. continue reading…

If you’re having boot problems on your Windows PC, it’s often helpful to repair the MBR (Master Boot Record) to restore the Windows 7 boot loader—and you can do it easily from the Windows installation disc.

This is generally most useful if you’ve broken something and there’s a boot loader error, or if you have made the mistake of installing an older version of Windows on the same PC that already has Windows 7 which wipes out the boot loader.

Note: If your PC starts booting into Windows but fails, you should probably try using Safe Mode instead

Boot From the Windows Install Disc

The first thing you’ll need to do is boot off the install disc, and then click through until you see the “Repair your computer” link in the lower left-hand corner.

There are a number of indirect ways that you can trick Windows 7 into printing from a shared printer attached to a Macintosh machine, but the best way to do it is through Bonjour. That’s because with every version change – either between Windows or OS X – the process gets muddled and a new solution has to be devised. But Bonjour has been fairly reliable even as both operating systems have evolved.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up your OS X machine so that its shared printers are available to Windows 7 machines. After that, we’ll show you how to print a document from a Windows 7 machine using a Macintosh shared printer. continue reading…
