err....or not? I am no longer able to ping any machines on the other end. I am still able to ping the internal IP of the opposite gateway wihout issue. Don't know what's going on right now...

I've had some REALLY stupid users revert back to IE after using firefox without issue. Their reasons were that firefox wasn't compatible with some -massively- spyware-riddled software that they insisted on using.

I'm afraid not. Here is the configuration I had. Router Internal IP: 192.168.0.1 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 DHCP Pool: 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.200 Servers Assigned IPs: 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.25 All systems have the same gateway and subnet mask. All are within the IP range...

Alright...well, I'm almost there. Configuration: Site 1 Linksys RV042 10/100 4-Port VPN Router (Firmware 1.2.3) Internet Connection: Full T-1 Internal IP: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Site 2 Linksys RV042 10/100 4-Port VPN Router (Firmware 1.2.3) Internet Connection: Wireless Link...

Well, the majority of my folders were just taken offline. :cry: There is an incompatability between it and Star Wars: Battlefront. Levels take 5-10x longer to load with the client running in the background. It seems some of the portions of the app use "Idle" priority. :evil:

None of Zalman's "flower" series have fan guards. But the blades are actually sunk into the heatsink, so you'd have to stick your fingers down into the blades to damage yourself. Simply grabbing the heatsink is safe.

I have had significantly more data corruption on FAT32 than on NTFS. The biggest problems are on developer stations, where the system hard locks and can't be shut down properly often. Another one of my clients was using a power bar to turn on/off their PC, that caused me to have to do a...

I loved the first 3 movies, they were certainly my favorite films growing up. I went into #1 expecting more of the same feel, suspense, excitement, and quality - Dissapointed. I went to see #2 expacting maybe not the same excitement or feel, but still a good film with characters I was familiar...

Good stuff, provided it doesn't snap my motherboard in two... I'm looking forward to removing the fan and ducting it to my PSU intake.

Yep, my expectations have dropped so significantly that I might enjoy this one...

It is very helpful, thank you, but it's a bit late for it to be making sense. Basically what you are saying is that the VPN gateways and all the machines on each end can exist within the same network, and that the gateways themselves will identify what traffic needs to be passed through the VPN...

So simply changing the subnets to 255.255.0.0 would suffice? I was under the impression that you wanted them in different subnets so that the traffic would go though the default gateway.

So, am I missing something here? I have 2 Linksys/Cisco NV042 VPN routers, each connected to a high-speed internet connection with a static IP. Each router has been competely configured and connects to the internet flawlessly. Each has been configured with a "Gateway to Gateway" VPN link and...

I noticed newegg's scarcity of video cards myself the other day, don't know what's going on. IIRC, if the board supports AGP 4x, than any 8x cards will also work. The funky incompatabilities were all between 1x, 2x, and 4x.

Indeed. I've found a few case manufacturers "cheat" on the underside of the board; using either shorter headers or sinking the mounting points below the level of the sheet metal. Either brings the bottom of the board closer to the grounded sheet metal of the case.

Can't really speak WRT to brands, as I only use Sapphire or ATI, but I can definatly reccomend staying away from the "LE" cards. From what I've heard, they are significantly crippled variants.

When I worked for CNet in SF my office was next door to a mirror of Download.com, it was nice having that locally. I dont know what the broadband connection was, but it was faster than my hard drive.

Broadband Bliss: T-1 -> Cisco Router <-Crossover Cable-> this laptop :mrgrn:

I'm glad I don't live in a swing state...much less to worry about ;)

We're doing lines? I thought you guys were straight-edge :eekers:

Windows XP lets you log onto the current user session. YOu can bounce the same apps around all day.

Those pictures are really amazing Tony. If I lived in a place as beautiful and open as that, I would also be tempted to spend significant amounts of time without people (a great source of anxiety for me). And with a pleasant travel companion such as Tea, it only makes it more appealing.

I love cooking, but the combination of no time and no company makes it much less rewarding. I look forward to living with my girlfriend, every time we get together we cook something good. Last time it was enchiladas, lasagne, and tequila-lime chicken. I think some Thai food is on the list this...

Anyone know if fax machines play well with VoIP?

21 with a mortgage payment? There's a congratulations in there somewhere...

Re: The cost. I've managed to keep costs relatively low. Most of my regular stuff can be had for under $50 a bottle (except the wine).

Well, with a mind like mine, a drink is downright necissary. Here it is, 7AM on a monday morning, and I haven't been to sleep nor feel like sleeping. But I really should have, considering I have a meeting in an hour. With nothing to stop me I'll easily go 3 or 4 days without really feeling like...

Until I was 15 I had abosutely no taste for it, though all my friends did. I've been "smashed" a total of 2 times in my life. I quickly went through that phase and onto appreciating finer things. Now I stick to "the good stuff", with my base being: Belvadere or level vodka Patron Silver or...

90% of the time, this isn't a problem. But my drinking buddy has been out for the last few days. Self medication? Yeah, that's me. But it is cheaper, and more legal than the alternatives, with less adverse side-effects.

I have the mega-cheap Belkin 802.11B AP, and it's flawless in it's completely unconfigured state. I just plugged it in and went. I haven't even seen what it's config screen looks like. I just bought the Linksys (cisco) WAP54G and a pair of their rage extenders (only need power, not ethernet)...

Just a random question... :eekers:

Re: Easy way to fry your new industrial motherboard, SCSI, e IIRC, this was my first disaster as well. Was the socket 2 the one that supported 486 and 586 chips (therefore not being keyed to prevent a misaligned 486 chip? I remember looking at the top of the CPU when I first fired it up (no...

I'll be getting another 6-7 2Ghz+ systems online in the next few days.

I like that the 16x port is lower on the board, allows more ventilation room for the CPU.

rant. Steam is the biggest POS on the earth. Not only is their registration complete BS; but the fact that you cannot control when downloads (massive downloads) occur, or how much bandwidth they consume, even if they are not for the game you are currently playing! When CS: Source was in beta...

nForce3 250Gb; of course :oops:

I liked my nForce2 systems (running on Asus A7N8X Boards of all varieties). I currently really like my nForce2 250Gb system (running an Asus K8V board). I still mention the concerns of "reputable dealers" (meaning you guys) to my clients, but am pleased with my own good fortune.

Not having to use boot disks was a great improvement to the average user, not having to reboot at all sounds even better to me. My only concern is how they've managed to do this? I'm hoping they haven't gotten all crazy in the OS, like adding an abstraction layer or anything...

Just sampled 3 of mine at random. All were given the OK to DL large WUs. 13.6MB 134.1MB 134.1MB Looks like they are common, but not guaranteed.

For a while I was stuck on a PII 433Mhz Optiplex Desktop. Upgraded it to 512MB of RAM and a 400JB, ran XP pretty quick.

Deplyed SP2 at a friends work. 100+ PCs, mostly random cheap-ass beige boxes, some Dells, some HP notebooks, not a single issue. One of my clients had it and it went on fine, just killed Winfax :roll: I hate Winfax :P

Sounds good to me. IIRC, a 1x card can run in any slot, but I thought a 16x card could run in a 8x slot @ 8x speeds?

So PCI-X is a brute-force kludge that is here to deal with excess demand on current technology, while PCI-E is a new architecture that promises higher speeds at lower costs (eventually). Do I have it right? Will servers eventually go PCI-E?

Why do we have these two formats? Why are servers coming out with PCI-X slots while desktop video cards are PCI-E? Which is technically superior and which is likely to succeed?

IRC, those are 1x PCI-E slots. Wasnt the spec to include different sized slots for the different speed ranges? The one that replaces AGP is clearly a 16x slot.

I use Outlook 2003, I noticed the "Junk Mail" folder...nothing's gone into it yet. I run SpamAssasin on my Exchange server and about 1 spam per week gets through to my inbox. I have in the last 3 months had 2 false positives. This includes all my addresses and a catch-all box, it deletes about...

Congratulations Merc. Your willingness to help is almost as great as your technical knowledge. I especially appreciate your ability to maintain your presence here despite personal issues.

Best of luck Howell. Every time I'm between girls and jobs at the same time I'm tempted to go somewhere else. Doesn't look like that will be happening any time soon for me, though.

Has anyone tried this yet? I watched the online demo and was also really impressed.
