Using Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.2.1.

For no clear reason, OpenVPN on Mac with Tunnelblick (any version, had this problem for a few years already) results in these kind of error messages (and refuses to connect):

2013-02-05 17:44:31 write UDPv4: Can't assign requested address (code=49)
2013-02-05 17:44:33 write UDPv4: Can't assign requested address (code=49)

This seems to appear more often when swapping WiFi/IP range (after my Mac goes into sleep). But also happens when connecting to the same WiFi. It doesn’t change anything whether I disconnect OpenVPN before putting the Mac to sleep.

Due to continuous Access errors, I decided to reinstall Office Professional 2010 (64 bit).

As I couldn’t find the original CD key I installed it with, I used another one from another installation. So far so good, installation went fine, etc.

Once I started any Office app, it popped up this error: “Microsoft Office professional plus 2010 cannot verify the license. blablabla useless crap check control panel”

I’ve tried:

• Reenter CD key (via setup)
• Repair Office
• Install every single item I could select during the install
• Remove office + reinstall office
• Removed CD key with this
• Reboot over a zillion times
• Cursed

None of this worked.

However, this seems to fix it for me:

I lolled.

 

I now own three Raspberry Pi’s.

Using two of them (and my Guruplug as WiFi AP) I connected my new apartment with my old house (= parents) over VPN.

This way I can access the printers/scanners and NAS at home.

The 2 rPI’s are used as router (using a Macbook Air USB-to-Ethernet adapter as 2nd ethernet (eth1) port). Basic howto’s are easily found using Google to do this (a good starting point).
