Information of access communication to anything, Access to wireless internet, Microsoft access and computer communication http://www.easyfastaccess.com Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:03:44 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/remote-access-defined.html Remote Access Defined A remote access is defined as the ability to access a particular network from an isolated distance. In remote access, you will be able to retrieve your files, programs, email, and network. It will increase your flexibility and productivity since you can work on your office desktop from home, travel while using your PC remotely, assist other users even if you're not physically there, or fix network problems from afar. This proves to be useful to professionals working in corporations, branch offices, telecommuters, and users who are traveling and may need access to their respective network. You can have remote access by using a dedicated line between a particular computer or local area network and the main local area network. Using a dedicated line is more expensive and less flexible but it offers faster speed on data transfers. Remote access also uses servers, which is a desktop with associated software that handles the users who need to access the remote network. It is commonly called a communication server. This server is also connected with a remote firewall to ensure the security of the users and a router that forwards or receives remote access requests. Having a remote access is pretty easy because there are free software products that are available throughout the Internet. All of these software products offer remote access but differ when it comes to speed, reliability, and security. Some popular remote access software products offer features like first-time connection wizards and bandwidth detection. articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:00:00 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/mobile-web-access.html Experience the Future Mobile web access is becoming the hottest trend nowadays since mobile devices such as web-enabled phones and PDAs are becoming more common. Mobile web access is described as accessing the Internet through the use of mobile devices, examples of which are mentioned above. Aside from Internet access, mobile web also have an additional feature such as the SMS text messaging. Mobile web access is very convenient for people on the go since it can be used from almost anywhere as long as you have your device working. It is a very promising technology, however, right now, there are issues concerning interoperability and usability problems. This may be due to the large variety of mobile device manufacturers, size and resolution of the screen, and other device limitations, such as lack of windows for multi-tasking, lack of Javascript and cookies that are used in facilitating and validation of data that is entered by the user, types of pages that are accessible, and speed. Standardization is one approach that mobile web development groups are now implementing to improve the interoperability, accessibility, compatibility, and usability issues that mobile web is now facing. If, in the long run, the mobile web access overcomes these issues, it is possible that a PC’s online activities may be matched, or migrated altogether, to the mobile phone due to its mobility and faster connection speeds. And since mobile devices are very compact and cheap, its availability to anyone is rather higher than those of notebooks and desktops. articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:50:35 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/database-recovery-for-microsoft-access.html Databases are very important because it holds so much information. But what if it was deleted, lost, or has been corrupted? Aside from the data, precious time and hard work are also lost. However, there are tools that you can use to help you undelete, recover, or repair your Microsoft Access database. There are lots of varieties of Microsoft Access recovery tools available. Although all do the same thing, to recover lost databases, these tools differ on the additional features that they offer. To help users understand these tools more, here are some of the answers to frequently asked questions. 1. Does the tool guarantee 100% database recovery? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The parts of the database that are damaged are lost forever and, sometimes, features of the old database are not supported. But, I guess it is better than to do the whole thing from scratch again, right? 2. Why is the recovered file not working with the software anymore? Recovering a database is a pretty complicated. Since data are not 100% recovered, it is possible that the data that is linked with the program is lost, that is why it will not work with the software anymore. 3. Can this tool help me recover the password from my database? No. You should be able to have the owner's information, both the username and security ID, to open it. 4. What is the difference between the trial version and the full version? Well, in the trial version, you can only evaluate the file that is recovered. Full version works like this, you upload the file and a report is sent back, you will evaluate the results and, if the price and quality sounds reasonable, pay the fees and the recovered data is sent to you. Trial version helps you decide the worth of... articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:46:54 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/isp-who-is-the-fairest-of-them-all.html Who's the Fairest of Them All? Demands for Internet access are gradually rising and so is the expectation among Internet service providers. Many Internet connection options have been introduced since the advent of the Internet, from dial-up to high-speed Internet. Let's have a look at these connections and their development throughout the years. First up is the dial-up Internet connection. A dial-up connection is a form of Internet connection that uses the telephone lines. The computer or router uses the modem attached to a telephone line to dial into the Internet service provider's node to establish a link that then routes Internet Protocol packets between the user and Internet hosts. Performance of dial-up connection differs depending on the condition of the telephone lines. Environments with "noisy" telephone lines experience lags on their connection due to the traffic caused by sharing of lines. Dial-up connection lost their popularity when the Broadband Internet connection was introduced. Broadband Internet access is often called high-speed Internet due to the faster data exchange rate that it provides. This connection works almost like cable TV. The cable provides an amount of storage for transmitting data. This space is known as "bandwidth"�. Broadband start-up cost is almost the same as that of the dial-up connection which contributed to its sudden popularity among Internet users. Nowadays, more and more ways of Internet connections are being developed, satellite Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile web just to name a few. Certainly, Internet has a bright future ahead. articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:39:03 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/integration-of-data-into-microsoft-access.html Microsoft Access is a relational database management system which combines the Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface plus a software development tool. It is preferable when working with large databases for a lot of reasons. One database can hold several tables which make organizing and merging data easier. It is also great for generating summaries and collecting data since it can bring related data together. This tutorial can show you how to import your text files into Microsoft Access. You can also use the same steps to import other files with some minor variations. The first step you have to do is to create a new database where you can store and merge your databases because you cannot directly open other data files in Microsoft Access. Once you have created the empty database, you will be able to import your text file into the database by clicking on the File menu, Get External Data, and click Import. When the Files Type box show up, select Text Files, and then select the file that you want to import from the list and click Import. Just follow the directions in the Import Text Wizard dialog box when the import begins. There are some issues of confusion when importing text files compared to when importing spreadsheets since delimiting texts is a pretty confusing job. However, once you get the gist of importing different files, merging data using Microsoft Access will be a cinch. articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:32:00 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/routers-versus-access-points.html Some of the people who have gone to the wireless realm, most especially those who have just switched (from wired to wireless) recently, are asking questions about wireless routers and wireless access points. Since we will be talking about routers and access points, it is only fitting that we first define what these two are. Basically, both provide Internet access to your network but that's where their similarity stops. A wireless access point serves as a WLAN communication station where it provides wireless point of access to the Internet. Meanwhile, you can treat a wireless router as a wireless access point with additional functions. Routers can direct incoming data coming from different places towards their respective destination. It also acts as a server which designates unique IP addresses to the computers connected to the network. Wireless routers may be the obvious choice between the two but there are times when you'll only need an access point. So if ever you have decided to make your router serve as an access point, here are the steps that you should follow. 1.Before we actually get to the set-up, here's a little list of materials that you will need. a.Wireless Router b.Network Ethernet Cable 2.When you have all the materials, you should then decide where to place your router. After that, you must power it on and log onto the router. 3.When you have logged onto the router, you must change a few settings. You must disable the DHCP server and assign a unique IP address to your router. Also, you need to disable the UPnP and the firewall. 4.After that, configure the wireless settings of the router to Only� as it provides the best performance compared to mixed mode. You can also set-up the SSID so you can easily identify the network. 5.Now that the router is up, attach the Ethernet... articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:28:02 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/how-to-access-facebook-from-school-or-at-work.html Unblock Yourself Social networking websites are a rave nowadays although there are still some who are still unfamiliar with it. Social networking websites are websites that allow interaction among its users. You can add your family members, friends, and even meet someone new. Once you have your own network, you can start sending messages, share photos, comment on each other's profiles and many more. This huge range of things to do in social networking sites is the reason why these sites are blocked from schools or even at work. Students and employees are wasting too much time in these sites preventing them from being productive. However, there are still ways to access these blocked sites, particularly Facebook. One way is to use proxy sites. A proxy site is a website which allows you to browse blocked sites. It allows you to bypass your Internet provider and browse your favorite site through it. Just enter the address of the blocked site on the form provided by the proxy site and you will be able to start browsing. Another way is to use your very own email. There are services that you can Google up that allows you to browse your Facebook account by email. You can send messages to friends, read new mails, post a note to your profile, poke, and even check friends online. If the tricks mentioned still can't get you in, try to use its IP address. Instead of entering the address in the browser location bar, enter its IP address. For example, if you want to access Facebook, just type http://( and its respective IP address) instead of http://www.facebook.com. Using these tricks, you'll be free to access Facebook, or any other blocked websites for that matter, anytime anywhere. articles - General Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:20:51 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/welcome-to-the-wireless-world.html Wireless internet access is becoming in-demand nowadays since it is more convenient for both residential and business users. There are a lot of advantages to be gained when you have a wireless internet access. Aside from the convenience of being wireless, data transfer speeds of wireless internet network are now catching up with those of the fiber optic cables. Also, apart from being more reliable than internet via cable or satellite, wireless internet is also cheaper when it comes to initial costs. Adding to the popularity of wireless internet is the growing population of laptop users. A laptop is a very mobile gadget but it gets confined when their users need to log onto the Internet. But with the advent of wireless internet access, laptops finally found their perfect companion. So how does laptop wireless internet access work? Laptop wireless internet access work like mobile phones. The service providers send out Internet signals from their base stations. The antenna at the user's end then receives these signals providing Internet access to its user as long as the signal is available and uninterrupted. A base station can send signals over distances of several miles depending on the land's terrain. It is said that the more the flat the terrain is, the better the coverage. So what does it take to have wireless internet access? Of course, you'll need to have a device that supports wireless Internet access like PDAs and laptops. Don't worry if your laptop doesn't have this ability because there are peripheral cards that you can purchase to make it wirelessly enabled. Then you'll need a local hotspot controller, but if you don't have this, you can get one by contacting wireless Internet service providers or just go sit somewhere else, easy as that. articles - General Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:19:31 +0100 http://www.easyfastaccess.com/general/a-reminder-on-access-database-security.html A database contains important information and securing it is a primary concern. Since Microsoft Access is the most used program when it comes to database, it is possible that people have tried its security and some may have found their way through it. However, there are still many ways how you can secure your database. One way is to use the methods offered by Microsoft Access itself, which is the password protection and user-level security. Database password is the simplest way to keep casual browsers out. Depending on the data stored on the database, this security option may be all that you need. But keep in mind that there are free utilities available in the Internet that will crack the password in seconds so it is not advisable if you have sensitive data in your database. Meanwhile, the user-level security enables you to require a user name and password. This method is based on a workgroup file which stores the member's user name, password and information. Using this method, you can assign rights to parts of the database to individuals. Again, while this method is better than the previous one, it is still not an end-all solution since there are inexpensive utilities available that can overcome the encryption used on the file. But don't lose hope since there are software products that offer to add a layer of security to your database. Although expensive and requires a lot of work, in the end, it will still be worth it. articles - General Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:08:48 +0100
