    ESXi host and NAS on single computer

    I am also running a setup similar in principle. I have an ESX 4 box with an Areca 1880i in it. I boot ESX off of a 2.5" drive. I created 1 Windows Storage Server VM and used PCI passthrough to assign the Areca raid controller to the Storage Server VM. The Storage Server VM runs microsoft's...

    First HTPC Build: Existing Parts Work?

    Agreed, 2GB is plenty for an htpc. Couldn't agree more. The only things that really matter are which speakers you have, where are they placed with respect to where do you sit/how is your room shaped, what leveling of your speaker setup have you done, and does your amp have enough juice to...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Seems to me it would be a lot more useful to a lot more people if all the known information was included, rather than just a small subset of people. As you said, the OP is only currently useful for those purchasing a new card, but that is a very small subset of the total people who might be...

    Blocking websites--dlink

    There are host file management tools that make using a larger hosts file on a small scale user group tolerable. HostsXpert is one of them. As you said, the only problem with a hosts file is that you cannot use wildcards, and so no *.google.com. You have to put in mail.google.com, google.com...

    Blocking websites--dlink

    He seems to have the router password. That means it is his network and he is in charge, at least for the moment.

    VMware ESX 3i Network Problems

    Also, you'll have better luck in the virtualization forum than the networking forum for esx questions.

    VMware ESX 3i Network Problems

    Death on install is probably unsupported hardware. Check the HCL or look at the various whitebox sites and lists of hardware people have gotten to work. http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?ie=UTF-8&q=vmware%20hcl http://ultimatewhitebox.com/...

    Again. 6GB vs 12GB

    I run 12GB and I routinely end up using 10GB+ due to apps being open, a game perhaps, and 50 to 60 chrome tabs heh. I didn't think I'd be using all 12, but definitely I do. Also, if you have 12GB ram, then you can throw 2 or even 4 at a ramdisk and point your temp dirs at it. Saves on your...

    What do you guys think about Signature Confirmation on deliveries?

    The signature can only make sense if they also verified the ID of the person who made the signature and took a copy of the ID. It's a total scam designed to shift responsibility around between the players in the chain, and guess who's left holding the bag? Yup, you. It's no different than how...

    Safely Remove Device on schedule? windows server backup

    You can use deveject.exe, although I have not used it on 2008 before, only scripted it in 2003 and XP. I assume it'll work, give it a shot. Lots of example scripts floating around, just search for the program name and "script". ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/listings/0316-208.zip

    Recently installed new router, issue?

    That's because it's a google chrome specific formatted message. All browsers report error timed, but chrome reports it in that format. It just means your browser could not connect to whatever page you were trying to get to. You'll have to narrow down the issue since it's intermittent, it...

    Migrating RAID 1 to a new motherboard - the opposite of fun times

    Imho, the way to do the migration is to take a drive image with a boot cd of drive imaging software that can recognize your raid controller and the array. Then verify that image is correct and non corrupted. Then go create your new array and initialize it. Then restore your image to whatever...

    Areca 1880i Noob....help!

    On the DFI Lanparty NF4 board, if the areca and the expander were filling both PCIe slots, then the board would power up in a strange way. It would have to scan the PCI slots multiple times in order to boot, often with both cards in the slots the Areca would fail the PCI bus test and not boot...

    Areca 1880i Noob....help!

    I've tried the Areca cards in 5 different motherboards so far. 2 were server class and 1 we'll call prosumer and 2 were gaming boards. I got the Arecas to work in all of them, in fact, sometimes they worked for 2 years before having an issue..but every single non server class board exhibited...
