    Mortgage rates at all time low

    From my research in buying a home soon I believe your best route would be to go Conventional with 20% down as that will remove the PMI from your loan. Now I have not taken into account what tax breaks you'd get with PMI as it is deductible, so this may not be 100% the case. On the surface it...

    Very slow pageloads via wired, but lightning fast over Wifi ? (Linksys e2500)

    So fast. Makes me sad. Glad you got it working though.

    Ensure that the router's switchport duplex is not manually set. Should always (well, almost always) be auto.

    Need good all in one hardware firewall alternative too Sonicwall TotalSecure 25 Tz.

    If cisco's your thing the 5505 ASA is pretty cheap. Comes with 2 SSL VPN peer licenses. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833120135

    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    It doesn't matter so much as it is a point of curiosity. I didn't know how this worked at all before making the post. The more I can inform a client the better off we will both be. Thanks a bunch of y'all's assistance.

    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    I'm quite curious as to the splice point's location for this particular drop. The customer is probably the only one being served for 10 or so miles in either direction. Makes me wonder if they would have built out a splice point just for them as I don't imagine any would have existed. If this...

    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    That makes more sense then. So are splice points typically installed every x feet when the fiber is initially laid? Thank a bunch for your answers.

    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    So then anyone else behind that pair will experience temporary downtime while it's broken off? How long does an install like this take? What's involved?

    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    Something I've been wondering, but haven't been able to find an answer for. So a client of ours is getting MetroE services from AT&T who has fiber running along the highway in front of the premises. By what means does AT&T break off of their loop to provide service to this customer? I can't...

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    I was using the term loosely as for the ASA responding for the devices behind its outside int.

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    That makes sense, but, as drebo brought to my attention, I would still be SOL as far as the ASA answering proxy ARP requests.

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    drebo -Thanks a bunch for the response. It is quite clarifying, but I do have one more question. In response to this statement: Are you referring to the ARP timeout or MAC table timeout. If you are indeed talking about the MAC table, can you confirm that there is no L2 checking for a dead...

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    Thanks for your suggestions Nothinman, here's a quick reply/update: I checked with an admin for the other network and no static ARP exists. Port-sec is a good idea - I'll have to confirm that (since it's not an access port I wouldn't expect it to be on, but who knows - worth checking). The TTL...

    G9 Replacement Mouse Feet?

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    Setup: Replacing 5520 ASA with another 5520 ASA that has been updated to the last firmware, RAM added, same config on both (same config expect for the converted NAT rules since Cisco changed their NAT format). Powered up new ASA next to the old ASA, waited until it was completely booted and...
