This document discusses using connectivity utilities to troubleshoot common network problems. It describes four types of connectivity problems: protocol problems, line problems, name resolution problems, and network performance problems. It then explains key connectivity utilities like Ping, IPConfig, Ifconfig and ARP that can be used to diagnose these issues. Specific sequences of commands with these utilities are provided to methodically test network connectivity and troubleshoot problems.
Overview of Email protocols.
Electronic mail was one of the first applications of the fledgling Internet back in the 70ies of the last century. Mail represents basically an electronic equivalent of telegrams that can be sent without having a direct and simultaneous network connection with the recipient.
In email systems, a mail transfer agent (MTA) takes care of the message to be sent and repeatedly tries to deliver the message to the ultimate receiver until successful.
One of the first and still prevalent email protocols is SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). It is a very simple protocol for sending electronic messages consisting of a header and a body between a sender and a recipient (relay agent or final mail transfer agent).
SMPT is not suited for receiving mail. Additional protocols like POP (Post Office Protocol) or the newer IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) are needed to retrieve mail messages from a mail box.
SMPT was originally restricted to the ASCII character set so binary content or non-ASCII characters could not be used in mail messages. To overcome this limitation, MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) was devised to allow mail senders to encode non-ASCII content with special character encodings.

Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a communications protocol for email retrieval and storage developed by Mark Crispin in 1986 at Stanford University as an alternative to POP.
IMAP uses port 143, and IMAP over SSL (IMAPS) uses port 993. IMAP, unlike POP, specifically allows multiple clients simultaneously connected to the same mailbox, and through flags stored on the server, different clients accessing the same mailbox at the same or different times can detect state changes made by other clients.
I have discussed about the common problem of network issues of a computer . How we can find out what is the bug on our network wizerd and what should we do for that perticular problem . I also discussed about the physical hardware problem and how to find out what the problem is and what is the way to find the solution for it . If you think for a problem that i am finished or my machine is finished it is your foolishness . So you can read my slides and can find out the problem and their solution .

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. What You'll Learn in This Hour:
Protocol problems
Line problems
Name resolution problems
Network performance problems
3. At the completion of this hour, you will
be able to
Identify and describe common TCP/IP
connectivity utilities
Use connectivity utilities to troubleshoot
problems
4. Connectivity Problem
Protocol dysfunction or misconfiguration— The protocol software
doesn't work or (for whatever reason) isn't configured to operate
properly on the network.
Line problems— A cable isn't plugged in or isn't working. A hub,
router, or switch isn't working.
Faulty name resolution— DNS or NetBIOS names can't be resolved.
Resources are accessible by IP address but not by hostname or DNS
name.
Excessive traffic— The network appears to be working, but it is
working very slowly.
5. Protocol Dysfunction and Misconfiguration
Ping— This utility is an extremely useful diagnostic tool that
initiates a simple test of network connectivity and reports on
whether the other computer responds.
Configuration information utilities— Each OS vendor
provides some form of utility that displays TCP/IP configuration
information and lets you check whether the IP address, subnet
mask, DNS server, and other parameters are configured
properly.
arp— This lets you view and configure the contents of the ARP
cache, which associates IP addresses with physical/MAC
addresses.
6. PING
In a typical troubleshooting scenario, a network administrator
performs the following ping commands (in this order):
1. Ping the loopback address (127.0.0.1) to verify that TCP/IP is working
properly on the local computer.
2. Ping the local IP address to verify that the network adapter is functioning
and the local IP address is configured.
3. Ping the default gateway to verify that the computer can communicate with
the local subnet and to verify that the default gateway is online.
4. Ping an address beyond the default gateway to verify that the gateway is
successfully forwarding packets beyond the local network segment.
5. Ping the local host and remote hosts by hostname to verify that name
resolution is functioning.
9. ARP Command
arp –a Displays current ARP entries
arp –g same as arp -a
arp –d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr
apr – s Adds the host and associates the Internet address
12. Line Problem
In general, if the network used to work and has stopped working
suddenly, a line problem is often the cause.
Make sure all network cables are properly plugged in.
Most network cards, hubs, and routers have display lights that indicate
whether the unit is on and ready to receive data.
Each port of a hub, router, or switch has a link status light that shows
whether an active network connection is operating through the port.
Several tools exist for testing network cabling. If you don't have access
to a cable testing tool, you can always unplug a suspicious cable and
plug a new cable into its place to see if that solves the problem.
13. Name Resolution Problem
The hosts file is missing or incorrect.
The name server is offline.
The name server is referenced incorrectly in the client configuration.
The host you are trying to reach does not have an entry in the name
server.
The hostname used in the command is incorrect.
Many common name resolution problems are obvious
when you consider the process of name resolution .
Some common causes are:
14. Name Resolution Problem (Cont)
If you are experiencing name resolution problems on a network
that uses a name server, it is a good idea to ping the name
server to make sure it is online.
If the name server is beyond the local subnet, ping the gateway
to ensure that name resolution requests can reach the name
server.
Double-check the name you entered to ensure that it is the
correct name for the resource. If none of these measures lead
you to a solution, you can use the nslookup utility to query the
name server about specific entries.
15. Network Performance Problem
Network performance problems are problems that cause your
network to respond slowly.
Slow performance can cause lost packets and therefore loss of
connectivity.
Even if you don't lose connectivity, slow network performance
can be an irritation and a source of lost productivity.
A common cause for poor network performance is excessive
traffic.
16. Network Performance Problem
(Cont)
Your network might be experiencing heavy traffic because there
are too many computers on the network, or the cause might be
a malfunctioning device such as a network adapter creating
unnecessary traffic on the network in what is known as a
broadcast storm.
Sometimes the cause for poor network performance is a
downed router that has stopped forwarding traffic and caused a
bottleneck somewhere else in the network.
17. Using Connectivity Utility to
Troubleshoot Problems
Start with ipconfig to ensure you know the current IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway parameters.
Move on to the ping command and follow the sequence of ping
commands described earlier. If the ping commands work as
expected, you have gained some confidence in the two lower
layers, including the network adapter and the network cabling.
Use an application such as a Web browser to access a Web
server. If this works, you know that TCP and the sockets
interface work; if it doesn't work, try another application that
uses TCP and sockets, such as the FTP client. If this doesn't
work either, you probably want to concentrate on TCP or
sockets as a source of the problem.
