    Bizarre firewall/DNS problem

    That sounds like the best bet with support. We recently had an issue with the E10000 series that randomly one of the cores in each blade would spike to 100% cpu and latency through the Sonicwall was around 7000-10000 ms. A code hotfix fixed the issue, but it took a while to get resolved...

    Bizarre firewall/DNS problem

    That's strange. Do you have GMS setup for logs or are you just trying to filter the logs on the sonicwalls for nfl.com? Since it's not resolving at all I would guess it's getting blocked by some IDS rule or something strange like abug. You could try to set IDS feature to only inspect from a...

    pfsense on laptop?

    I had pfSense 1.9(?) running on a Duron 1GHZ with a DLink and 3COM nic in a shoebox. No vlans at that time so I can't speak to that. (In general I also recommend Intel nics, for just about any OS) This should be an interesting build.

    local area connection doesn't have a valid ip configuration[SOLVED]

    It happens. Powerline adapters can be a pita. Noise filters for some of the appliances/computers MIGHT help but most are just a waste of money.

    local area connection doesn't have a valid ip configuration[SOLVED]

    The powerline adapter should not care a lot about draw on the power circuit, but it will care about noise introduced on the circuit by other things that are connected. Is it a nice name brand power supply or a not so nice power supply. I wouldn't be surprised in the new PSU is introducing...

    Home Netork Security - SSH/Linux

    The beauty of a jump box is that you have a LOT of control over what it talks to going through your firewall, and it is way easier to collect good logs from the jump box that from all of your devices and act on the logs (And hopefully alerts sent to you). You are going to get more mileage out...

    Can someone please help me get AirVPN to work with pfSense?

    OpenVPN type setups (Usually) need the VPN server Public Certificate (Lets you encrypt traffic to be sent to the server, and identifies that it is being sent to the correct server) The clients Public Certificate (Lets the server encrypt data sent to you, and identifies that it is being sent to...

    Recommend a good ADSL

    Have you thought about putting any of these modems into bridged mode and running a basically any other home router behind it? I have been running a Actiontec C1000A (Broadcom based) in a bridged mode for about 2 years and the only hiccup I have had was when my first modem up and died after...

    Anyone have experience mixing Cisco and HP 10GbE?

    Looking for cheap POE switch

    I just mean that if you want more than 1 vlan going to each AP a managed switch is required. (e.g. 2 ssids each on their own vlan and a management IP of the AP on another vlan is only going to work with a managed switch) If you plug both the APs into that unmanaged switch they will be on the...

    Looking for cheap POE switch

    That switch should power the APs without to much issue as none of the APs require PoE+ 30W input. Get the Gigabit switch though or you are going to be really disappointed with the AP230's throughput, or connect both ethernet ports and use the second one for data (Assuming its gig)...

    pfSense - thinking of taking the plunge

    I ran pFsense on a Duron in a shoebox with a 100mb 3com and dlink nic for a year and it was plenty fast for what I was asking it to do. (Not be a VPN server or any other service other than basic ACLs and routes) Have also ran Vyatta core and Sophos UTM in VMs on Hyper-V. If you have...

    More and more Americans are encouraging Spirit airlines

    I flew Spirit to Vegas a few years ago. I didn't know how bad my knee was until that flight, almost puked on the person next to me when I went to disembark. Overall pretty terrible experience, though not really Spirit's fault. The seats are f-ing terrible though.

    VPN - Client to Network can see machines by IP but not by \\<sharename>

    Is the DNS server you have configured your home router? It may not be able to resolve local hostnames, because it does not know them. Locally you are resolving hostnames via broadcast (Likely). To test this locally you can issue a nslookup htpc-pc 10.0.1.1 from a windows or linux shell...

    OpenVPN problem: Can't get "redirect-gateway" to work correctly

    red, in pFsense you should be able to turn on hairpin routing if needed. sounds like you got it sorted another way. agree that you should make sure you have routing turned on in the ovpn server. you can usually ping your way to the problem. start by establishing your tunnel, pinging your...

    OpenVPN problem: Can't get "redirect-gateway" to work correctly

    Do you have a route pointing to your OVPN network on your inet gateway? you need a route on your regular router for 10.10.10.0/24 with a next hop of the 192.168.x.x address of the OVPN server. If you don't have this your router is most likely forwarding traffic for the 10.10.10.0 network out...

    SSH not working after Samba install

    SSH not working after Samba install

    ssh_config is your client config. sshd_config is the server config. All pinging the server is telling that it is reachable on the network with icmp. Did you try to get the server ssh info via telnet? Did you check the authentication logs?

    Win7 Won't allow LAN and Wifi at the same time

    manually configure the LAN port with a static IP address in your lans range but DO NOT add a default gateway. Let the wifi remain a DHCP address. you will only have one default route now.

    SSH not working after Samba install

    2004 Infiniti G35 issue

    Best wireless router to blast through plaster?

    "Okay sir, you're a Lebowski, I'm a Lebowski, that's terrific..." Anyway, what clients are you looking to get better coverage for? If its a Desktop PC a directional antenna could be put in place for that. No 802.11n clients boggles my mind.

    Best wireless router to blast through plaster?

    You'd have to figure out the max TX power of the clients in question and try and match that. 40mW seems to be pretty standard for PCs. This is also a very specific Twin Citiesan, search the memory banks! We miss the Dude.

    Best wireless router to blast through plaster?

    They are probably made in the same factory... either is going to be a significant increase in antenna gain. I'd go with the ones I though would arrive more quickly, but neither look like they are going to get shipped really quickly!
