    Vista x64 - Network upload shows too fast!

    Hoping someone can help me with this. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of why I am seeing what I am seeing when I try and send files from my machine to my LAN server. If I open Task Manager and then open Resource Monitor and transfer a file from my machine to the server, I see that it shows...

    Outlook 2003 PST files corrupting daily

    Are there any other issues? You say "stability tests and burn-in tests" and by that do you mean Memtest? I'm just asking because your issue may perhaps be bad memory. Another thing, have you thought perhaps a PS issue? I know it's far-fetched but if the PSU is straining it could cause data...

    Hot! -- 500GB External Seagate HDD - $99

    I'm in for one. However, this means I have to disassemble my current external drive and my internal RAID1 array, swap out drives, rebuild the array and then rebuild the image onto the new external drive. Sounds fun, no? :)

    WRTP54G physical network ports not working properly

    Did you ever try to turn Autonegotiation off on the router ports? I've seen what you describe when Autonegotiation doesn't work right.

    Network Storage Suggestions?

    Well, depends on how you want to set it up. Do you want a RAID? If so, you should get a hardware RAID card. Either way, you can use an old PC (if you have one lying around) to do both of those roles. FYI, I use an old Athlon 2100 beige box PC as a server. It has a RAID1 array using a HW...

    limiting a port with a linksys router

    Depending on the version of the WRT54G, you could use DD-WRT firmware and use its QOS settings to try and limit their port.

    Play a game, solve the problem

    OK, so from your scenario it seems like L3 Switch C doesn't have a route back to the 200.200.200.0 subnet, possibly due to a missing network statement? It's one place I would look.

    [Cisco] [Info] Difference between exec-timeout and session-timeout?

    Title says it all. Only explanation I've been able to find is that exec-timeout is for VTY (telnet, SSH) and session-timeout is for all sessions. I'm on a variety of equipment (4507's, 7609's) and I need to secure the console against the ability to pick up an active session (meaning that if I...

    [Advice Needed] How much is telecommuting worth?

    I thank you all for your input so far. I'm not worried about promotions or anything and I'm happy doing what I do, so here's a few more things to throw into the mix: For the job with the promotion: 1. I'll be implementing configs that are designed by the IP Engineering group on routers and...

    [Advice Needed] How much is telecommuting worth?

    Hi all! I'm looking for some advice and I'm hoping all you other folks can help out. Due to restructuring in my division, I've been applying to internal jobs in the company. Two of these jobs led to an interview and to an offer letter, which I'm considering. The part I'm having trouble with...

    Router Problem?

    What does the router internal page say as the status of the WAN link? Can you release\renew from the router internal page? What type of router?

    What would be an expected transfer through a Gig-E switch?

    My understanding is that with GigE you're usually going to be limited by your drives. I could be wrong though.

    beeping sound when i was checking my bank accoutn details online

    Do you have a modem in the machine that's also plugged in? if so, that sounds like the problem. DSL uses freq's above human hearing, so I don't think it's the DSL modem.

    1394 is Firewire and the other is your LAN connection. You're fine.

    >8 WAN ports needed, what should I do?

    Sure can. Disable DHCP on the second router and use a crossover cable from LAN port to LAN port. That will get you three extra ports.

    HELP NEEDED >> Windows XP Box Not Connecting to Internet

    Try turning on and off the blocker for ZA. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling ZA. I've seen reports around the web of problems with ZA and even turning it off doesn't fix it, only an uninstall and reinstall.

    Built new system. Installed Vista. changed memory.

    Have you ran memtest? Since you installed new memory, I'd reset the BIOS to defaults and run memtest. Let us know how it goes.

    Raid 0 Raptor Failure

    I had an experience recently that is somewhat similar to yours. I have a RAID1 array for all my data (not OS), and started to see corruption on large file transfers to the disk. After much t-shooting, I finally isolated it to one of the drives. Removed it and ran the manufacturers diags and...

    Cisco Extended ACLs with SNMP

    Just ran across this today when working on a 7609. It seems that when inputting a snmp-server community string I can only use a standard ACL and not extended. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? Thanks all!

    Another vote for Syncback. I use it to synchronize my RAID-1 array to an external drive. Works great!

    Hi all! I recently received a knife from my gf's mom, and I'm trying to figure out what it says. The gf's father supposedly picked this up in the Mediterranean somewhere when he was in the Navy, but he has passed away and so we can't ask him. Knowing that we have people here from all over the...

    Harddrive appears as USB ???

    My understanding (from reading the forums here and other places since I don't own SATA drives) is the SATA drives are supposed to be hot-swappable. That's why you get that notification.

    Cisco static routing question

    Cisco static routing question

    If you forward a subnet on a router to a static route, and that static route is being learned via OSPF from a device that's a few away, does the destination address of the packet get changed to the static address? Or does it leave it as the original destination address? Here's what I mean...

    Hub in between cable modem and router?

    I guess I didn't phrase it well. I meant that the router is transmitting to the PC while the PC is trying to transmit to the router, causing the collisions on the hub. :)

    Hub in between cable modem and router?

    If I'm understanding correctly, it's because a hub is a Half-Duplex device and since file transfers require ack packets, there's going to be collisions since the computer is trying to ack while receiving the files.

    It may or not be an attack, but I would suggest using a firewall.

    OH god I am scare.

    Do you have a router or are you connected directly to the cable modem?

    OH god I am scare.

    That's unknown. Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it but if you want a piece of mind run a full scan.
