Notes from daily work situation.

One of my colleagues asked me to find out which IP address that his home router dynamically assign to his brand new TOTOLINK N9 Ceiling Mount Access Point without accessing to the home router.

Look at TCP/IP settings, I know the IP address range that the home router assign to client is 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254.


I also know MAC address of the new TOTOLINK N9 Access Point.

So, the idea is using his laptop to ping IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254, then using arp -a command to find out MAC Address of TOTOLINK N9 Access Point.

So, I use FOR command to ping a group of IP Addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254

FOR /L %variable IN (start,step,end) DO command [command-parameters]

    The set is a sequence of numbers from start to end, by step amount.
    So (1,1,5) would generate the sequence 1 2 3 4 5 and (5,-1,1) would generate the sequence (5 4 3 2 1)


for /l %i in (1,1,254) do @ping 192.168.1.%i -n 1 -w 100 | find "Reply"

-n count       Number of echo requests to send
-w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply

[Microsoft Outlook]: Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key

Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key The ForcePSTPath registry key is supported by Microsoft Outlook 2003 and later. In Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007, it applies to new profiles only. Microsoft Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 it applies to new accounts created in a profile. Microsoft Outlook 2013 saves .pst in   %userprofile%\Documents\Outlook Files folder by default. We can change that default setting by adding a new string registry key called ForcePSTPath and set the value to the folder that we want to save those files. Set Microsoft Outlook 2013 always save new .pst and .ost files to D:\Data\Mail folder OST file reached the maximum size The OST File Has Reached The Maximum Size
