Strange Behaviour on D-Link DSL-302T ADSL Modem

In my home (actually my parent in law home) i have two computers connected on LAN using switch. I have an ADSL modem (D-Link DSL-302T) and want to make my two computers connected on the internet. So, i plug a modem RJ 45 to the switch and also each computers.

I configure the IP address like this :

192.168.1.1 (ADSL Modem)
192.168.1.2 (Computer 1)
192.168.1.3 (Computer 2)

and pointing the gateway on each computer to the ADSL modem IP (192.168.1.1)

Logically, this setting have to work. But, in fact i can't browsing to the internet on each computers. I saw the log on the modem that my modem already connected and got WAN IP address.



So, what's wrong here? Ok, i try to solve this problem by changing the TCP/IP address to obtain an IP address automatically.



Check the connection using ping command and restore the TCP/IP address to the default IP address which is 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3.



And, magically now all computers connected to the internet.

JavaScript Suicide

Getting busy with a day by day working hours makes me for a long time not involved on writing this blog anymore. I do apologize for this.

In some situation, we might want to run a script (asp, php, c#, jsp, cfm) using browser and then after execute the script the browser closed automatically.

You can simply do this using the JavaScript code below. Put this code at the beginning of your script :

<script>
function doSuicide()
{
opener = self;
top.window.close();
}
</script>

And then put this code at the end of your script :

<script>doSuicide();</script>

How this JavaScript code works?

First, the browser will load all the script till the end of the script. After the browser parsing the code and found the JavaScript function that call doSuicide() function then this will make the browser forced to closed by himself.

This JavaScript code known works on Internet Explorer and Firefox 2+
