    SB Router/FW Recommendations

    great info. thanks. so for the two route scenario i described- how would i accomplish that with the zyxel? would i be configuring per-user routing so that some users get to both LAN1 and LAN2, or am i setting up essentially 2 different endpoints? also, it looks like the only difference with...

    SB Router/FW Recommendations

    having the skills and having the time are 2 different problems. i've run openBSD with nothing but pf and CLI before as a core network device, but i'm looking for something i can set up, run a routine backup of the config, and then never think about it again. actually, pfsense or openBSD would...

    SB Router/FW Recommendations

    so it is capable of having 2 unique VPN setups or of being able to implement different routing rules based on the user? all these devices (i mean any vendor: cisco, draytek, etc) say is that they support X number of tunnels. but if there is only one VPN config i can use and all the X number of...

    SB Router/FW Recommendations

    any specific model? btw, in terms of a budget- anything up to $1000 would be fine. from what i've looked at i don't think i should have to pay more than that, but if necessary anything up to $2000 would probably be considered.

    Ubiquiti Unifi Questions...

    thanks everyone for the replies. they do not seem to have a lot of resellers (none that i've heard of before anyway), and the warning about making sure the seller includes the injectors will save me a lot of hassle and rage later :-) thanks all!

    Ubiquiti Unifi Questions...

    these units get power over the ethernet cable, right? i've never had a PoE device before so n00b question: if you just plug an ethernet cable from any switch or router into this thing will it work, or do you need some special power input on the other end? TIA

    NOS End-semester lab, need help/pointers/advice

    yeah, i mean it's fine if she wants you to figure out HOW to do something on your own, but she's asking you to figure out WHAT to do. seems idiotic. i would look at basic network services first. DCHP and DNS. choose one machine to set those up on. create a domain, and join the other...

    Why can't I use a DVI-HDMI cable, and what about HDMI video cards?

    for any PC to TV connection you are going to need to go through complicated refresh rate tweaking. the TV is not a monitor. it does not have the exact same resolution or refresh rate as a monitor, and thus windows does not have a 50Hz refresh rate in as a default which will make your tv happy...
