California dreamin'
Thanks so much for such valuable feedback. I will definitely review the time I am going to spend on CO. I will probably have somewhere between 25 to 30 days to spend on this trip and was thinking about CO, CA and Las Vegas in Nevada...

A friend from another forum suggested me to drive from Denver to Las Vegas and then going to California. I found that to a be very nice idea. What is the average MPG on a US sport utility? Thanks again, I am really liking this thread!

OK. I agree I really am cheap. What would you consider to be a fair price for that kind of job?

MTCreations,
I am a Java Developer and I think I understand the overall process of building a website, even tho I am not a designer, I have created a couple of websites. And trust me: I think, depending on the project, even US$ 3000 is too low.
I should have given more details on what I ultimately want, and I am sorry about that. What I want is just a first page template and some specific buttons/icons/etc. for being able to carry on with the... [more]

Change IP configurations based on connected wireless network
A mix of what damn dirty ape suggested with Elevate Power Toys, that allows a user to run scripts as administrator, gave me exactly (or almost exactly) what I wanted.
I have created two batch files that runs given commands with elevation, so all I need to do is:

flabdablet, I could have easily fixed that if my low end D-Link WBR-1310 Wireless Router had an option to always give same IP address to a given network card by its MAC address. Unfortunately that's not an option.
I have an Ubuntu server laying around, but I think I never got in the mood to spare time and try to run the DHCP server. That would be an option, but I would have to redirect all clients to obtain IP addresses from that machine. Don't think so :-)... [more]

Since the first step in DHCP is a broadcast request from the client, any available DHCP server will do. The clients don't need to know a DHCP server address before they start. All you'd need to do is turn off DHCP in the WBR-1310 to make sure it never handed your laptop a bum IP.
Really!? I consider myself a technical savvy person, since I am a systems engineer for 12 years now and - shame on me - I didn't know that! :-)
I will... [more]

Done! Even easier with Webmin installed (my server has no UI). Just had to install dhcp3 and configure a host, so a fixed IP is now assigned to my notebook.
SUPER! It really turned out to be a better outcome than I would ever imagine.
Thanks again!!!
