Solve LIMITED network connection error
LIMITED network connection error may be caused due to various reasons,but mostly due to an ip conflict or improper ip address configuration.and doing a network troubleshoot may fix that.but what if it doesn't? O_O
Don't worry you are just one command away from getting back your internet.open command prompt and type in
ipconfig/renew
and there you go its fixed!
What have we done?
what we've done is basically simple.we just asked windows to release the old ip address configuration and get a new one.this error can also be fixed if you wait for some time and then connect to your network,the same thing happens,your system would be allotted a new ip address automatically,but we've chose not to wait and manually renew our ip address
NOTE: this trick only works if your limited connection problem is caused due to any ip conflicts.

Hyper -V
In our previous post about Running Multiple Operating Systems Virtually we've seen how we can manage and create new virtual machines,now lets try doing the same with some built in tools of windows 8.Actually Hyper-V is a much broader concept,it allows us to run virtual servers and cloud platforms,but lets just stick to running a private virtual machine for another operating system.
And its alot of strain than simply using a virtual box but no harm in learning isn't it?
Ok before we step further into it first lets see the basic requirements for running Windows Hyper -V
- A X64 based processor or simply a 64 bit system
- Hardware assisted Virtualization ( a processor supporting Virtualization )
- Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention
Never mind if you don't know these specifications about your pc,you can find them out simply just search for "system information" and the you would be presented with almost every possible data about your computer,now if you can scroll down a bit you would find the hyper V support details
( sorry for the bad image quality )
If the third option ,Hyper-V virtualization Enabled is set no for your system don't worry it says your system is capable of supporting virtualization but it has been disabled you can enable it by tweaking the bios menu if you don't know how to,google it for your hardware coz it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Now that we know whether our pc is capable of supporting Hyper-V,lets go to the next step.
You need to enable Hyper-V.Goto control panel => Uninstall Programs =>Turn windows Features on or off
Check Hyper-V and click ok and wait for the feature to be added.After a restart you would find two icons related to Hyper-V
- Now click open Hyper-V Manager.on the right side column you would find a new option select it and click New virtual machine
- Give your virtual disk a Name and if you want to you can select the location where the disk files are stored
- Allocate the amount of RAM within the bounds suggested and also check use Dynamic Memory
- Opt Install an operating System from a boot cd and then browse for your iso file
and now you have created your virtual machine successfully,lets try it out
- Click Start
