Windows Gets a 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway

Posted on by

KB ID 0000332 

Problem

Seen on Windows 7 but can also occur on Vista, I had this problem a while ago and fixed it then it reoccurred this morning (after I’d spent a morning on a client site changing my IP address a few times. As soon at I got back to the office the machine picked up an IP address form DHCP with the correct default gateway, but sat above that was a default gateway of 0.0.0.0

I could not ping anything outside my network either.

Solution

After some “Googling” it turns out this problem is caused the the Apple “Bonjour Service” as I detest iTunes and have no Apple software I was confused. It Seems that Adobe CS3 (Creative Studio) installs it, (Thought CS4 does not).

Quick Fix (though not permanent)

1. Start > Run > cmd {enter}

2. Issue the following command,

[box]route delete 0.0.0.0[/box]

Permanent Fix

1. Firstly make sure that Bonjour IS your problem look for the following,

C:Program FilesBonjourmDNSResponder.exe or C:Program Files (x86)BonjourmDNSResponder.exe (if your x64 bit I’m not sure?)

2.If is is there look to find the service that running it, (Start > Run > Services.msc).

In my case the service was called,

##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##

Catchy eh? I discovered that is caused by an install error.

This;

Is fixed with these commands;

3. Now I can see it correctly,

Note: Some forums report that the “National Instruments mDNS Responder Service” also used the same system and causes this problem.

4. You can simply stop and disable the service if you wish, or you can remove it by, running the following command,

x32 bit

[box]”C:Program FilesBonjourmDNSResponder.exe” -remove[/box]

x64 bit

[box]”C:Program Files (x86)BonjourmDNSResponder.exe” -remove[/box]

remove mdns responder

5. Navigate to, C:Program FilesBonjour OR C:Program Files (x86)Bonjour And rename mdnsNSP.dll to mdnsNSP.old

6. Reboot the affected machine.

7. Then delete the Bonjour folder.

Photoshop – Drawing box’s

KB ID 0000203

Problem

For the site I do a lot of screen shots / screen dumps for illustration purposes its good to be able to highlight thinks by being able to draw a box around them. Usually I do this with mspaint, but I finally got tired of doing half the tasks in mspaint and the rest in Photoshop, so I worked out how to do it properly.

Solution

1. Assuming you have you graphic already open, create a new Layer.

2. Click the Rectangle Marquee Tool > Then click and drag where you want the box to be.

3. Click Edit > Stroke.

4. You can select the width in pixels of the line and the colour > OK.

Photoshop – Drawing Arrows

Posted on by

KB ID 0000204

Problem

I wrote a walkthough on drawing box’s earlier, the second thing I tend to do, is put arrows on my diagrams to point things out.

Solution

1. OK, so I’ve got my graphic, and I know something about it thats not obvious at first glance.

2. So I’ll open it with Photoshop and put an arrow on it. Firstly Select the “Line tool”.

3. On the toolbar at the top select the drop down arrow next to the free form tool > And tick the Arrowheads “End” box. Note: for a larger line/arrow width, change the weight from 1px (pixel).

Note: This mas moved in Photoshop CS6.

 

4. Click and drag on the graphic where you want the arrow to start and stop.

Yes that’s correct this girls nose and mouth are on upside down, did you spot that originally?
