Perfect! This is exactlty what I want to do! How?

Absolutely true, and deploying an image out to multiple machines works very well that way. But I'm creating images on the machines and sending them too the ghostcast server. To be honest it doesn't much matter where it is initiated from, but I would like to be able to manually control the...

I have Symantec Ghost 8.0 Corporate and am looking for a way to enter a ghostcasting session manually from the client. In the "home" version of ghost, you can run the command from the start menu that reboots into the virtual partiton; where you can manually perform any of the tasks. In the...

You can change the CD-Key using a changer, but IIRC it also checks for an "installation GUID", requiring a re-install anyway. :evil:

So the first step in my quest for better sound will be do ditch the onboard sound. I was hoping that using the SPDIF connection to an external reciever would exorcise the evilness, but that isn't the case (thanks Merc). So what sound card would best output a Digital Coax signal? (of course...

Yep, and at ~$1/GB, that 2TB fileserver just got a lot cheaper.

Unfortunatly headphones aren't an option. I'm quite often not the only person listening to the computer (GF/Friends). I'm looking at either a Onkyo or Marantz reciever. A friend swears by Marantz, is it the Bose of the high-end world (ie very well marketed medioce equipment)?

Also, I'm currently running Klipsch 2.1. What would it take/cost to get an appreciable increase in quality?

My system currently has an onboard AC97 solution with a coaxial output. How much of the crappy sound will be passed along though that source?

Not an answer to your question, but I've never had this happen. Do you mean if you restored what used to be the system partiiton at the front of the drive to a non-active partition farther back in the drive?

Merc, What reciever and speakers would you be looking at in the $200-$300 range? Stereo is fine (don't really want surround) and fidelity is more important than volume.

I have a really hard time buying a product that doesn't explain how it works and has the word "Magic" in the title..l.though I am interested.

One of my clients just paid the ultimate price for their lack of attentiveness towards spyware... "No default gateway for you!" Without internet access, they should be able to keep out of trouble...

Because I'm an incompetent sysadmin :eekers: Honestly, the system used for the UT server is also performing quite a few other tasks. Primary among them my &(%% PXE/Ghost server. Once I get this licked, it should be up 99% of the time. I've spent 100+ hours on this POS, and I can't seem to...

Well, the requirements and the pay are relatively small. But it could be an interesting test of this idea. Re: "The collective". I guess it would be at the discretion of the users involve in the project; but putting it directly towards the administrative overhead of the site sounds like a good...

I'm pretty sure you need the full version, as it rotates maps. If you timed it right you could play 3 rounds, then it would boot you.

Gee, thanks, Tea; I appreciate it. How's that, GP? :P

I was thinking of outsourcing some web design work to the forum, then putting the money earned into the collective. What do you guys think of that? It wouldn't be much, but in my experience, a site like this could always use some dough. I'll put up the requirements, and if someone is interested...

Thanks Mark, I'll check those out. So far I've run one of the systems for 3 days. It averages out to ~1WU a day (~65 Points). This would be about 1300pts per day for all 20. Meaning that even if you guys stopped today, I wouldn't be in the lead for another 92 days. You guys have nothing to...

I'm looking for a program that will sync a local directory with the contents of an FTP folder. It also needs to support subfolders, and free would be a good thing. I've found a few, but either their trial download is broken, or the site is down.

Tea, You didn't know that I knew? Or you didn't know it was possible? If the latter, thanks. If the former, :P . ;)

Not really. It still keeps the management at the server, all the configuration off the workstation, and is earier to configure than a static IP. All you need to do is key the IP itself, DNS, gateway and subnet are automatically pulled from the DHCP pool.

Sorry, I've never seen the popup as I use Firefox. :P

Find out what your client's MAC address is. If you are running XP the easiest way is to: Right-click on Network Neighborhood, choose properties Right-click on your NIC, choose status Go to the second tab (support) and click on the details button. The line that says "Physical Address" is the...

Is there a place where I can get more granular statistics? Such as WU/day, or better yet Avg. time/WU?

Hey, you have SF...what more do you want? :P

I've been using HTML-Kit for quite some time. But I am in no way even close to literate in HTML, much less anything else.

These systems are already more severely locked down than that. They don't have a taskbar, or desktop, much less a windows key of any sort or access to "Alt-Ctrl-Del" ;)

I've had people here playing for the last 12 hours or so. Back and forth between BF:V and UT2004. I think I'll be sleeping tonight.

Yes, you need to open the ports marked as "incoming" and forward them to the machine you are running eMule on. After logging onto the web admin interface of the smoothwall, go to the "networking" tab. The first sub-tab will be "port forwarding". Leave the external IP blank, add the source port...

Looks good to me, but I'm not installing an OSS hack to my Exchange box until it's been seriously proven.

Sorry for the typos, this is consecutive hour number 30 of work...and no alchohol! Just a follow up question...my system at home gets shut down every night I'm there, how much work is lost each time I shutdown/restart?

Wow Mark, thaqnks for the detailed how-to. I actually already have a registered copy of firedaemon runnon on my game server, so I can see how it would be useful in this application. From (briefly) reading a (very few) posts here, mentioning "clusters", "farms", and entire offices, I honestly...

Alright guys, I'm in :mrgrn: Not that I'm a threat to any of you, starting so late in the game. Could you guys help me out the setup? I plan on putting it on the "master" system then ghosting it out to the rest. What is the best way to do this? Can I do the complete config on the master, or...

Looking into getting involved here...I do have a fair number of machines. But I need assurances that the client is completely stable and won't negatively impact the active application. I have 20 of Athlon64 3000+ machines that run 24/7 off a T-1. Would this be a significant contribution?

Nope, the T-1 and server are at the store. Usually when I'm playing I'm doing so from home via DSL. Although I could use the advantage of a single-digit ping....

My father, and co-owner of the center. Be nice to him, he's a definate noob.

LOL, listeing to Aphex Twin's "Film" right now. :P

Mostly they're into BF: V, but because we don't have that many people yet they're been playing on other people's servers. While you were on yesterday we had 3 people playing there from my place. Keep in mind our hours are from 3-10PM M-Th and 3-12 F (PST). I'll enable voting on the server, when...

Well, that was fun. Except for the crash. Someone was screwing with my AA server and brought the machine down.

2 people are on right now...c'mon in

BTW: Ping times will drop significantly in about an hour or so...I'm doing a massive upload right now.

You name it and I'll be there.

I don't like the idea of constantly altering the content of my audio tracks. I'm not an Audiophile (256-320kbps MP3 is fine for me), but that just sounds like a good way to screw up your tracks.

Well, Handruin was able to w(h)oop me...

Just finished replaing the Smoothwall firewall. Merc, The PXE server isn't for doing entire system loads...just for ghostcasting. The PXE implementation of the onboard Realtek 8169 positively blows chunks.

I'll be on around 7PM, still working on this Damned PXE-boot BS...

YES! :lol:

YAY! :mrgrn:

If I'm on IM, you can send me a message. I haven't quieted down my new rig, so it's turned off every night. Yes, the server is supporting both my customers (not too many yet) and the SR/SF crowd. I may be opening up some of the other servers as well (CS + AA, BF I can't as the bandwidth...
