I recently installed, then right away uninstalled a VPN...
But my network has been left in a somehow unstable state....
And one time tonight, when I refreshed my browser I got "destination unreachable" error...
when I try to ping "192.168.0.1" (which I thought was my router IP, turn out it is not, it is 192.168.1.1) I get:
Reply from 150.101.32.110: Destination net unreachable.
Where is this IP coming from?
I recall there is some kind of host file somewhere in win32 folder, can someone refresh my memory on where and which it is, please?!

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
(maybe not C:\)
And by default it is empty...

Thanks, I just found it.
It is indeed, empty...
To be fair it was codeproject that was just unreachable.. and it happens that codeproject sometimes is unexpectedly offline...
I was also listening to online music and it was fine...

You can try
netsh winsock reset (to be executed as an administrator) followed by a reboot, and see if problem persists afterwards.
noop()

Stepney, South Australia. That'd be close to Adelaide?
Just pinged it, and is online.

Google "mvps host file" and follow instructions

That IP is most likely the primary IP on your home router; the address on your provider's network (it's likely the DG for the 192.168.1.0 network, and 192.168.0.0 is non-routable by design). This is assuming that you're not too far outside the box in terms of home network design.

I want to forward a photo that came as an attachment as an inline/embedded photo. In MickeySoft Outfark this is annoyingly cumbersome.
- save pic on disk
- open in paint
- select ALL in crop/selection-tool
- copy
- paste in new mail
- delete pic from disk
WTE! Is this really the only elephanting way??
If I just do it the natural way, open attachment (opens in "Photos") copy + paste, it pastes as as an attachment. ARGH!
And googling "outlook convert picture from attachment to inline" gives me 100s links of the exact opposite. ARRRGH!
Ideas?
Thanks

- Save it on disk.
- Go to Insert tab on ribbon
- Click on picture and select your file

I propose to rename Outlook to Look out ! 
|
|
|
|

My wife (and everyone we know) uses LOOKOUT. What a POS like most everything spewed from Redmond of late. I use thunderbird with a contented smug look.

I would not use Outlook privately, in the office we have it for for booking meeting rooms and wotnot.

Save photo somewhere.
Open in Browser.
Right-click -copy image.
Go to email and paste.*
I do this relatively often.
* Caveat: Outsource needs to be in a proper mode. Text-only not so hot. There's HTML and Rich Text.

Maybe so - but that is for the OP to consider. I was just noting that I do what he wishes to do on a routine basis with no problem.
Since inserting one or more images on the page is already in the plan, why would I second guess anything about the recipients?

Because you know the user is evil.

Switch your settings to open all e-mails as plain text, and embedded images will show up as attachments -- and behave like attachments.

One can only hope that doggy never had to wear such regalia.
Perhaps we need a new word to describe such paraphilia: xenomorphophilia ?

Yes, that same outfit has a picture of a cat in a Queen Elizabeth of ye olde style.
I find this type of image as disturbing as humanoid-looking robots.

Yes, make fun of dogs as much as you like, but cats are little deities and must be treated with a little more respect[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
