  1. Open Network & Sharing Center
  2. Change adapter settings
  3. Right click (on your tethered "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device", in my case its "LAN-Huawei-USB")
  4. Status
  5. Details
  6. Copy the IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway & DNS Servers (in my case it's- ipv4: 192.168.42.11, subnet: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.42.129, dns servers: 208.67.222.222 & 8.8.8.8)
  7. again Right click (on your tethered "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device", in my case its "LAN-Huawei-USB")
  8. Properties
  9. Highlight "Internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
  10. Properties
  11. Use the following IP address:
  12. enter what you copied earlier from STATUS here
  13. OK
  14. close all windows


Now your computer will stop creating Networks, mine has stopped at "Network 14"

Batch upload videos to Youtube from Synology DS

Like many people, I thought it would be great to backup my videos to my Synology DS , and then have the DS upload them to youtube. Infact, the documentation claims Photostation 6 can do this from withing the DSM. Sadly it turns out that you can only send them one at a time to Youtube from Photostation. My workaround has been: Install Cloud Sync package on Synology. Set up my GDrive account in CloudSync to sync in one direction (upload from Synology only). On the DS, copy a batch of movies from their usual directory to the new sync directory for GDrive. Sit back and wait, as synology moves all those files to GDrive.

LG G3 for CyanogenMod

I had to ask myself if I was a bit crazy to mess with a perfectly good, brand new (1 year old model) smartphone, shipped to me with Android 5.0 Lollipop...why mess around and install a custom ROM? I have been using a Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 for a few years now, running CM (11-20140916-snapshot-M10-i9100 most recently). While this was a great phone, and still is infact! I have been 'forced' to upgrade to a device with 4G. What's so great about CyanogenMod...Privacy. Not only do you get the latest Android releases, despite manufacturers not sending updates...you get Privacy Gaurd. This is the main reason that I choose to run CM over stock android. I was able to root, get SU, and flash TWPG and CM in a few hours, including my stupid mistake... I followed the following guides: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d855 http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 Which led me to download: https://pl...
