    Basic to Intermediate Networking Book

    I would say the free Stanford University Intro to Computer Networking class is.what you want. Or you can do Professor Messer Net+ videos. Cisco ICND1 (CCENT) is pretty in depth, but with a Cisco slant.

    Will a single Cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L switch share a single gw-wan for all its VLANs?

    Only if you are trying to trunk VLANs. When you plugged in the three ports into the Cisco switch, did you set each switch port into a different native VLAN? If not, then you created a switching loop as they are all in the same VLAN (broadcast domain). You don't need a VLAN capable router...

    Will a single Cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L switch share a single gw-wan for all its VLANs?

    Can you create portshield interfaces as gateways for each vlan? You will have to wire them individually to the switch. 4 vlans will use 4 ports on your sonicwall and 4 ports on your switch.

    On the router 192.168.1.1 put in a route: 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.1.230 IE. From 192.168.1.1 route to 192.168.1.230 to get to 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 On the router 192.168.2.1 put in a default route: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 IE. Route to 192.168.1.1 for all non-local...

    Will a single Cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L switch share a single gw-wan for all its VLANs?

    Add the following static route to your sonicwall: Route 192.168.0.0/16 to whatever IP you assigned vlan1 interface on the switch. Also be clear when you say ping vlan1. Which device on vlan1: switch vlan1 interface or sonicwall? Without a static route on the sonicwall, it will send ping...

    Network Patch Panel Help

    Try to maintain as much twist in the pairs as possible. One way is to use a flat blade screwdriver to open up the middle enough to fit inside the block. Other than that, looks good.

    How do you label small cables?

    They also make heat shrink labels. I have a DYMO with 1" diameter white heat shrink label. Print, slide over cable, shrink to fit. I also have .5" labels for network cables. They make various sizes. Check their website to see the various options.

    When is the corruption occurring? Use Teracopy with verification to copy the files to the USB drive. Write down the checksum of the file. Make sure to eject the drive properly (Safely remove hardware) or power off PC before removal. At this point the files on the drive should be okay. As a...

    kernel intrusion detected alert

    Unplug from the internet? If you are connected to a world wide network, you are going to get scans. The important thing is to make sure the firewall is up and that you have no internet-facing open ports. Run an internet firewall test (Shields Up) and if you pass, you should be ok.

    Some questions about running ethernet in a house

    Building a new house - how would you wire it up?

    Depends on if the CAT6a has the plastic spline in it. 4 cat5e and an RG6 may be pushing it for 3/4" ID conduit. I'd do two conduits, one for network and one for CATV. I don't go more than 50% conduit capacity max. Terminate POTS with RJ45 jacks at both ends. Jumper it from the telco...
