You can also post in here that the command can also be found if you right click the git bash program in windows and go to properties. The "target" box has the command you're after.

It's wrong though. Can you please type it out again? (Yes, I've put two dashes for login, I know it was a conversion with the HTML as well as replaced smart quotes with actual quotes / inches). This looks really nice though, thanks for the tip! I can’t figure out what you’re wrapping quotes around I’ve tried various ways. It’s wrong though. Can you please type it out again?

For some cases it costs less to run the cat 5 wiring (unless your in an apartment). There are many things to consider about the noise in electrical systems. Your neighbors electrical system can effect yours and in turn effect a powerline based set-up (x10, homeplug or most any PLC signal). Homeplug and most PLC set-ups are not overly popular for a reason IMO (at least here in the U.S.). I can’t stand powerline set-ups.

I was nearly to smash my laptop into the wall.... this was driving me crazy ! After a week of frustration I finally found this website, It is indeed dissapointing that this bug still exists, hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks again for the workaround.

Besides, having to go to that much effort (filtering all other devices or even having nothing in sockets, putting the homeplugs almost next to each other), completely defeats the purpose. :) At one point I had the two homeplugs a few metres from each other, with nothing in between.

I've noticed quite a big drop in speeds simply by plugging in a surge-protected four gang outlet serving a bunch of devices/PSUs in a socket next to or close to the homeplug. Make sure such adapters go through the pass through socket which should prevent it spewing noise into the network and reducing throughput.

Btw, in win7 my CMD.exe can rescale both in x and y directions (width / height). (left/right)Click the tiny logo in the top left corner om cmd.exe and browse to properties->layout. However, this might be due to the fact that I installed cygwin in a desperate move, since during typing this comment i notice that du -h, ls -a etc are also working in my cmd.exe :p. Onto my question and reason for this comment: does Console2 handle .bat files properly? Cygwin had problems with them and I didn't like the console that much too figure out how to solve it. I would love tabs in my CMD but I need ".bat" functionality too. I have been experimenting with command shells as well.
