Many thanks for this blog entry where it explained on how to use tcpdump to write to a file and simultanously print on the console.
tcpdump -U -w - host 1.2.3.4 | tee file.pcap | tcpdump -r -

Google Calendar sync issue: Use DocMessageClass to resolve the issue
You might notice that some entries are not synced from outlook to google and this is because Outlook has different Message classes especially for meeting requests.
I use a free portable app DocMessageClass to fix these items, but it is a manual process and I've seen some scripts on the web but have not made the effort to actually put them to work.

Checkpoint proxy arp and manual nat
In checkpoint if you have a manual NAT entry the firewall will not do proxy ARP, which means it will not answer to arp requests on the network where the NAT will take effect.
Solutions are:
- use automatic NAT rule
- there's article on Checkpoint support that describes on how to correctly add an entry to a file that the firewall will do the proxyARP, apparently different for single or Cluster XL
- define a static host route to the firewall from the other device.
In my case they forgot to that and the SYN traversed 2 firewalls but the SYN/ACK was lost due to one firewall not being able to find via ARP a MAC address to talk to.

Rant: Windows 8
I have just read a very nice piece on somebody's experience in regard to windows 8 and some parts feel like they are my thoughts.

iOS and MacOSx are definitely advanced in many aspects, but the major improvements are still missing in regards to information connectivity.
The article talks about Dashboard that could have been the windows 8 tiles UI. And I think he's right. I never was able to really make use of the dashboard and today mostly land on it by error. I use the iPad daily between 1 to 5 hours over a 16 hour period, 99% consumption. And clearly the presentation of the information on the main screen is lacking, the integration between apps and data is lacking, best example is try to install a pinterest bookmark, i.e. it should just be natural to click on whatever to share with whatever that's out there.
The windows 8 UI will probably help me avoid going into my top 5 applications all the time. Also notification in iOS and OSx are less than optimal. I want to have all information on one big screen. I don't think the widgets of android are going to do the trick, since most of them take to much screen real estate and have a non identifiable form.
I will install the 90 days windows 8 evaluation version tonight and try to spend another few hours to try and see if I get the same productivity as the author said he does.
Maybe at one point some really good guy will develop an OS where all information can be used in whatever form we like and multiple times in different places but all linked to the same info. As an example the worst thing today is that a reminder is not really a note, not really appearing in the calendar, not really an alarm entry, not being editable by penultimate, not able to print using the papers app .....
Microsoft tried in some office version to actually put tasks onto the calendar at the bottom but not in the calendar. I still crave for this that the tasks will actually be put into the calendar and reflect the actual time spent or whatever I want it to be and if completed will change color, allow tagging and more.
Most probably we won't get most of this for another decade or so, as it took from the perfect Palm Pilot to a somewhat great iPhone. Is it really that people forget this so soon. Everything was here and it took 20 years to improve.
Well here is the link to the article:

Filezilla, Websense: Using ftp upload/download over websense proxy using filezilla client
http://www.websense.com/content/support/library/web/v75/wcg_help/conf_ftp_clients.aspx
The most important is the part:
FTP Proxy:
Custom:
USER %u@%h
PASS %p
proxy host: server:2121
user and password sometimes have to be defined and sometimes not, in my case the user was important but not the password.
