For a fun, ongoing scavenger hunt that people can do all day, have an ABC scavenger hunt. If you work in an office this works well because you do not have to go outside the office to do it. Everyone simply finds things that start with the letters A through Z. For example, a person might find an apple, a box, a copy machine, and so on until a person reaches something that begins with Z.
Staff Information
Create a list of information about your employees like who has been there the longest, who is the youngest, and who was recently in the local newspaper. This helps everyone get to know each other a little better and highlights positive things about each person. Do this type of scavenger hunt at the beginning of the year or after a group of people have been hired to help coworkers learn about each other.
Out and About
If you work somewhere that is in a neighborhood or a city, take a few hours and let people go in teams and find things on a scavenger hunt list. They must take pictures with each thing. Some examples are a dog, bus stop bench, thrift shop, and a fast food place. This is a fun way to break up the day and let people get to know each other a bit better.
Riddles
Create riddles and split the group into teams so they can work together trying to figure out what each riddle means. Have each riddle lead to another one until all of the clues are solved. Have a prize at the end like a free lunch for the winning team, or a lunch for everyone, but dessert for the winners.

Determine the details of your account, including the hostname (the machine that that you will upload files to), your username, password and URL address.
Establish a connection to the Internet via a local area connection or wireless connection.
Open an FTP program such as FileZilla or CoreFTP, which are available for free download.
Enter your hostname, username and password of your website in the FTP program.
Locate the web page you would like to post. Click 'Browse' from the FTP program, navigate to the file and click to select it.

Login to the machine using remote desktop.
Go to the Inetpub\AdminScripts directory. This is typically on the same drive you installed windows, so c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts
Run the command
adsutil.vbs set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange 'xxxx-yyyy'And replace xxxx with the starting port and yyyy with the ending port range.

DNS Problems with VistaIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
DNS problems frequently originate in the cache. Over time, the DNS cache can become corrupted causing issues with the DNS in Vista. In order to clear the cache and thus resolve the problems, a command prompt must be launched as an Administrator. Once the command prompt loads, simply type 'ipconfig /flushdns' to clear the DNS cache.
No Connection Without Router Reboot
Many Windows Vista users report DNS problems initially establishing a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) connection with their router. A workaround to this issue is to simply manually reboot the router to which the Windows Vista machine is attempting to connect. This clears the DNS addresses and submits a new address to the computer. If it is a desktop computer, another solution is to manually input the DNS addresses that the computer will use.
Conflicts with Wireless Card or Ethernet Controller Checksum Offload
Windows Vista is not compatible with some features that are bundled with popular wireless cards and Ethernet controllers. In particular, checksum offload features can cause problems when Vista attempts to renew a DNS address once connected to the Internet. To resolve these issues, simply disable the checksum offload feature.
Firmware Problems
Many Vista DNS problems can be solved by simply updating the firmware of the router. The firmware is the software that operates on the router. If an old version of the firmware is currently installed, this will cause problems with Windows Vista. Windows Vista utilizes an improved TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack procedure that calls DNS addresses in a different manner than Windows XP. These updates to the TCP/IP stack procedure necessitate having the latest router firmware installed.
Conflicts with LAN Connection
If Windows Vista is used to connect to the Internet via both a wired LAN connection and a Wi-Fi wireless connection, it is possible that the wired LAN connection could create problems when attempting to attain a DNS address through a Wi-Fi wireless connection. This problem arises because the wired LAN connection, even when disconnected, is assigned an IP address if it has been used in the past. This presents difficulties when Vista attempts to connect to the Internet on a wireless connection since it prefers the faster, wired connection. To solve this, simply disable the LAN connection when using the computer in a wireless setting.
