    I'm a Toyota guy so excuse my ignorance. Looking at a 01 Pathfinder with 150K on it. What should i know? Google has already told me about putting loctite on the power valve screws. Anything else? I can handle any work--up to a full rebuild.

    Unpaid tickets and suspended license

    Cliffs: Two years ago, got tickets in two different cities here in Louisiana. One for parking in a handicap and one for expired inspection. I never paid...then I got a notice in the mail from the DMV saying my license is suspended. I know, stupid. Fast forward to now: I'm a...

    Restricting a VLAN to the internet only using ACL

    I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this, as my network has a few routers between the vlan and the net and ACL's just restrict access from an IP(s) and not to them?

    YAGT - Jumbo and std frames on the same subnet

    What happens in the case of there being mixed devices on the same subnet? I'm assuming that since there isn't a router or L3 switch to fragment that you have to rely on the gigabit hosts to do MTU discovery?

    Question about linksys wrt54g antenna ports.

    Can they be used at the same time? I know with dd-wrt I can specify one, the other, or both. What I want to do is cover a narrow, but LONG hall. What I was thinking was if I could hook a directional panel antenna to each jack and put them back to back. Would that work? Or does the...

    Cisco 1700 Question

    We've got an old 1700 that no longer needs to do ISDN duty. I was going to purchase a WAN WIC for it and use it as a backup router/VPN for offsite site-to-site vpns. I do VPN with PIXs all the time, but I've never tried to terminate one with a normal router. Do I need to buy any license...

    Physical cat 5 cable security.

    Obviously we can use 802.1x to make ports dead so protecting unused jacks is not a prob. But, we have had some dumb employees who needed a phone line or wanted to move their desk unplug some cat5 before. Do they make lock boxes that allow the cable to run through? Like we put on our...

    All of the ports I put into a vlan are blocked by STP.

    Upgrading from Server 2000 to 2003

    Yikes! We NEED server 03 on here for some continuous backup features of our backup solution to work with exchange. I'm thinking it might be easier on myself to demote this server and just make another W2K server a DC. Instead of trying to have a mixed domain. Also, will exchange...
