		<title>Windows Server 2008 Ping: transmit failed, error code 1232</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve only seen this error on a virtual machine running under VMware ESX but I dont think it&#8217;s related. Simply go to device manager, remove the network adapter, do a scan fro new hardware and Windows will reinstall the device. You will need to configure IP again if your using static addresses.]]></description>

		<title>Clone disk over SSH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is pretty handy. It will make an exact copy of a disk on your local machine to a disk on a machine anywhere running Linux with an SSH server running.
