    upstream charges to announce new ip blocks?

    Nothing wrong with announcing /24's. I'd like to know of a single provider who does block /24's. Maybe back in the day of 128mb core routers, but not now. It would lead to many inconsistency problems/complaints from customers and then you'd have to waste a network administrator's time trying...

    Opinions/Suggestions for this system config

    I'd opt for the Seagate 7200.8 300GB drive instead of the Maxtor. It costs a little bit more, but has an 8ms seek time instead of the Maxtor's high 9.3ms, plus it has a 5 year warranty. HD on newegg Also, I'd save some money and buy this ram instead of the Corsair XMS. The timings are...

    More than 2 PCI Express 16x slot motherboards?

    99% of video cards made in the past 2 years have been dual head. You could run a quad head non SLI setup with 2 regular PCI-E video card(6600's for cheap) and the DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D. You'd even have a spare PCI-E 4x slot leftover for another card. Granted it wouldn't be 16x, but...

    The TRUTH about Prescott Overclocking...

    According to Intel you were giving the CPU .3 to .45 more volts than it's supposed to get. I'm suprised it ran at all, 3 weeks is superb for 33% more juice than it's rated for.

    According to this site from intel.com, no chipset meets your requirements.

    Cisco Catalyst 4000 Switch and Vlans

    cisco.com is full of good information about your version of CatOS. 'set vlan # state active' and 'set vlan 4 module#/port#' will help you get started though.

    Any way to get 2 dsl lines to my house on two phone lines, and tie them together to form 1?

    OpenBSD 3.3 with pf has basic load balancing techniques available, as well as a lot of other good stuff. You'll only see a speed improvement in http transfers mostly, but that's all most people seem to care about anyway.

    is there a way to give ACK packets priority over everything else?

    This might help if you're willing to run OpenBSD.

    *4-17-2003 UDPATE* First Reviews Ready. Intel 865/875 (Springdale/Canterwood)

    CSA is only available with Intel 82547EI chipset network controllers, every other brand/chipset is PCI based. I think Intel doesn't do things like pci-x on consumer level boards is because it could cut into their server based chipset board sales.

    Multi-port NIC for server

    Intel 10/100 NIC's have been supported just fine under freebsd for years using the fxp driver. The 10/100/1000 intels use the em driver without problems as well.

    Traffic Shaping with Cisco 2500 and NAT

    If people aren't allowed to bring their own notebooks in and don't have administrator rights to the machines, installing something like NetLimiter or Bandwidth Controller on the PC's might get the job done.

    Gigabit Network

    Best way to get to the bottom of this is mail your network dept. with logs about the packet loss. They should get a competent person on the job and see if anything can be done.
