    NAS/Data Server - How would you do it?

    Fallen Kell, That looks like a great idea. Only thing holding me back on that is how unfamiliar I am with Sun*. You know what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks. I'll play around with it in a vm for a bit and see what I figure out. Something CentOS or windows based would be best for...

    Sorry if this gets asked alot, I don't lurk much on the data side of the house here at AT. In the market for a new NAS/Dataserver. Currently, I'm running 5x 1tb drives in a software raid 5 array under CentOS 5.x This is fine and all. But I'm wanting to build something new, With more space...

    I have a domain name and web server, now what?

    Your doing it with cname's now I figure (a alias) If you have a dedicated IP from megabyet then you can point the domain at that. If its a shared ip you need to point it at the shared IP and add the domain to the hosting provider. (assuming its running Apache virtual directory's)

    Free internet for the entire hood!

    Amps suck. I work for a Wireless ISP and you wont find 1 single amp on our whole network. If you want the power its high power cards and high gain antenna's. If your looking for range and good connectivity go with a array of sectors instead of a omni. Fcc knocking at your door? I don't know...

    Xbox Live NAT Type Technical Understanding

    Well the fix for me was port forwarding, You cant forward the same ports to 2 different xboxes, unless you have a higher end router with multiple public IP's. So you might just have to pick which one you want to be "open"

    Xbox Live NAT Type Technical Understanding

    Lots of games have this feature. Basically they say it might keep you from getting in to a game. I've never seen it happen. In MW2 on PC mine said strict, Forwarded the ports and it says open now, Only difference I see is I host the games sometimes. The only thing I can think of is the match...

    I've been using google's DNS, nothing to really shake a stick at.. I would be doing direct lookups, but for some reason when i do direct lookups it takes forever.

    File Sync Over Internet

    I'm a fan of rsync when it comes to copying large files. Could also be done with FTP though.

    DLINK DIR655 & XBOX 360/Experiencing lag while other computers are browsing

    First DDWRT isn't supported on 99% of the dlink routers. Second, Something like http://speedtest.net would work better, or http://speakeasy.net/speedtest In game lag shouldn't really be that noticeable, unless your ping is something like 2000 ms then you will see it. Like you kill someone...
