Hello All,

We have improved our scan technology to help you find the drivers correctly. We know that there are still some instances that you still can not get the correct drivers. Please submit a ticket to us in our contact page. To save time for both , please always send us your device manager screenshot, that will give us a lot of information to narrow down your driver problem.

That’s it.

Driver Identifier is on some big tech sites

Too many connections in TIME_WAIT state when using netstat -na

support — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:05:51 +0000

Applications that handle a huge number of TCP connections, either as a server, or as a client, will often see a large number of sockets in TIME_WAIT state.
The sockets in TIME_WAIT can be seen with the “netstat -epn –tcp ” command.
If the number of TIME_WAIT sockets gets too large, your address space will be exhausted, causing a disruption of TCP traffic.
If you try a little Googling, you may be find tcp_fin_timeout option .
Do not be confused by the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout config item. The FIN TIMEOUT is not the same as the TIMEWAIT length.

You can force the kernel to reuse the TIME_WAIT buckets though, by setting the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle entry to 1. I have tested this, and it works: very few TIME_WAIT entries will be present when using this setting.

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle
or
add net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf .

1. Check /var/log/mail.log and see what the error
2. If you see this “postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory”
Do this :
# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop

# mkfifo /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup

# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

3. If you get 550 verification error

edit file /etc/postfix/main.cf

Change the servername to full dns name for ex: servermail to servermail.yourdomain.com
verify servermail.yourdomain.com from public internet

New release – V3.6 is available for public

How to install the driver

support — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:08:12 +0000

To install all the drivers are ready, we can begin to install the driver. Driver installation methods there are many, following slowly from easy to difficult to see.
1. The easiest one – From Installation Disk - Install from setup.exe

Now hardware vendors have increasingly focused on the humanity of its products, including the installation of the driver simplification, where so many drivers come with a “Setup.exe” to executable file, simply double-click it, then all the way “Next (Next)” to complete the driver installation. Some hardware vendors provide drivers joined the Autorun CD files from the start, as long as the CD into the computer’s optical drive, the CD will start automatically.

Then click the appropriate starting interface name of the driver can automatically start the installation process, this very user-friendly design makes installing the driver is pretty easy.

2. Manual Install

Installing drivers from CD is a traditional and most used approach to install required drivers as you can get thousands of drivers in a single CD and you don’t even need an Internet connection for installing drivers from a CD.

Right Click on “My Computer” from desktop and go to “Properties” from the menu.
Click on Hardware and then on Device Manager
You will see a yellow icon alongside un-installed drivers.

Right Click on that Yellow icon and select “Update Drivers”

Now, a new box will appear with couple of options, check the Last option and click on NEXT.

From the next page, click on NEXT again.

Now, Select the location you keep the drivers ( where the .inf file located)

After Installation, Click on Finish and Restart your computer.
Thats it!
