    Windows XP no ineternet with LAN access

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have one more Windows 7 machine to deploy and then I can concentrate on that machine. Stupid question here, as long as it's on the same subnet, would it matter if the IP is a 169.254.x.x? I need to make sure that the graphic arts people can still send stuff to the...

    Windows XP no ineternet with LAN access

    Its a work network. There is one machine in the print shop that controls the big Konica printer and it runs on XP. There is no reason for it to have internet access nut systems on the LAN need to access it.

    Barracuda to VM is killing me

    Long story as short as I can make it. I'm trying to take an image of my Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 and make a virtual machine out of it. I booted the Cuda from the Acronis True Image 2013 recovery media and made a full disc image. I then made a new VM and had it boot from an .ISO of the...

    Barracuda dying need replacement

    We have around 450ish boxes right now. After I spoke with Barracuda support and we made it where I can access the interface I was able to run some reports. It filters, on average, about 20 thousand messages a day. I'm really leaning towards trying to image a new hard drive or just making a...

    Barracuda dying need replacement

    They never paid for the replacement program so it's gonna cost regardless. I'm leaning towards going with the replacement but the owner will have kittens if I don't come to him with a few options. I would really love to just migrate the whole mess to Google Apps, but at $50 an address there...

    Barracuda dying need replacement

    Some of you may have seen me bemoan my slow as hell Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 here before. I finally got in touch with the support folks and it runs a little better now buuuuuut, now it seem that the hard drive in the device is failing. They have offered to replace it for $1500 and our...

    Windows 8 dual login types

    I'm not sure if this as at all possible but I wanted to throw it out there in case it is. I'm testing Windows 8 now and when I loaded it I logged in using my personal Microsoft account. What I would like to do is join the VM to my domain and login using my domain account but also have my...

    Multiple DNS hosts possible?

    Does OpenDNS provide hosting for zone files? I looked into Google and they said that they don't.

    Multiple DNS hosts possible?

    I'm not sure if this is anyway possible but I knew if anyone would be able to tell me it would be you all. My company currently uses AT&T for DNS, according to them, the name servers are being DOSed and it got me to thinking of how to have backup DNS. The domains are registered through...

    Network pics thread

    Yup, just like dashpuppy said. There is another one in the other room that will be moving back. Jay, if you were talking about my Barracuda box, it's the spam filter for our mail server. I loathe it. Anytime I need to do anything it takes forever for it to respond. Most of the time it will...

    Surface?

    I think if MS can get the right voodoo brew of advertising and software/apps, this thing is going to be huge. I am personally making plans to get the pro myself. Things are looking good in Redmond, at least in my opinion.

    Stupid RAID question

    I am working with an HP ProLiant DL380-G5 that is running RAID 5 with a spare. All of the drives are HP 146 GB SAS drives and I want to get a few spares for when something goes bad. The problem I am having is the supplier we use doesn't have the drives I am using but wants to sell me some 300 GB...

    Is anyone else still waiting to get this? Amazon's tracking says mine should be here tomorrow. I hope the pigeon that's been flying it here hasn't crapped all over it.

    AMD 64 and Blu Ray

    That's what I was afraid of, I was going to encode them with x264. It's good to know that it will take that long though, looks like it will be awhile longer before I digitize the blu rays!

    AMD 64 and Blu Ray

    This is probably a stupid question but I wanted to bounce it off of you all. I am still running an Athlon 64 in my Shuttle, I am considering picking up a Blu Ray drive for ripping. I know the machine won't be able to handle playback but do you think it can handle ripping discs? I'm not concerned...

    Whos ready for the iPhone Video?

    Big yawn on this one for me. As was stated earlier, most of the things they are touting can be done on the 3G with software so I'll be sticking with it.

    Is the new 3G iPhone sold out everywhere ?

    I picked mine up from AT&T at lunch on Friday. My sales guy told me that they had gotten 85 in that shipment. Maybe the furor is starting to calm down. I have to say, after a couple of days of use, I really love this thing.

    Is the new 3G iPhone sold out everywhere ?

    I ordered the 16GB black. I just got off the phone with one of the store reps and this one has me sctatching my head. They are telling me that the guy who sold me the phone has to "complete the sale" himself and he is off today and tommorow. So, now I know the thing is in the store but I have to...

    Is the new 3G iPhone sold out everywhere ?

    I have a bit of twist with my experience. My wife and I were wanting to switch from Verizon since AT&T worked out to ~$30 to $40 cheaper. I told the guy that I wanted an iPhone if I was switching buy I realized that they were sold out. Herein lies the reason that I would rather deal with a...

    It came in today and I just finished hooking it up. This thing looks in-freaking-credible. No issues that I have been able to see as of yet. The manufacture date was July 2007 and I got a Samsung LTM220M1-L01. Thanks for the info and the "push" bicycle_wreck, I am loving it so far!
