    Gmail filtering and forwarding...

    I haven't looked into this just yet but I do know Gmail has some very good filtering options and was wondering if anyone had any insight or ideas how I would do something like this. I would like to filter all emails from a certain address that usually come with a body of text and an attachment...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I finished off my CCNA without racking this stuff and now that I'm investing the time for my CCNP I thought it nice to have it done properly :)

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I'll try to answer in order since I can't quote easily on mobile but: Yes that is exactly what I'm looking for, I would migrate to a managed one later to power on the lab remotely, but not needed as of now. SK or MB? Nah it isn't that bad. I live in southern Ontario, I believe it was once...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    Any good recommendations for a cheap PDU, nothing fancy just individual power switches for each device would be a requirement.

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    Yes I am working on my CCNP right now, I've had this pile of routers in a stack for a while now and its time to rack it properly. The unfortuante part about looking on Craigslist is that I live in a technological dead zone in Canada. Here kijiji rules, not craigslist. The only racks you can...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I need a new rack to house my home lab and found two options and am looking for an opinion. I will be housing 4 x Cisco 2821 (8U) 4 x 3560/3750 switches (4U) 3 x 1800's (3U) -possibly a Misc. shelf or two (unknown at this time) I count at least 15U without any shelves or other items...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I just started using my PC a lot more and not having a lot of fan based equipment in my room as I did before really makes it stand out. Granted it has a Noctua cooler, a Corsair PSU that the fan doesn't move in and an SSD it is quite silent. After having to replace the stock cooler on the 5850...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    Also thanks for those links! Just skimming over the reviews for the MSI is exactly what I was looking for. Most of the complaints are about the size of the MSI card and nothing about weird noises and I'm going to look around a bit more at the other cards as well. The reason I bring up the coil...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    Any reason why? My need is for a silent card 90% of the time and a fairly good card 10% of the time. I want to have a fairly reasonable card available, just silent when not in use. Why this feature hasn't been made available in desktops is beyond me. I can't see why load based fan speed...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I'm expressly familier with all the things you've mentioned quite well. It's just that most reviews SPECIFICALLY mention this card as having it. My PSU is fine and so is everything else. My fanless desktop switch had whine and it was faulty, new one didn't. My old centrino based laptop had...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I've been mulling over getting a new video card similar to the ASUS Stryx 960 as I've read it doesn't even spin up the fans until its taxed. I've also heard on near silent systems that it can start to whine (electronic noises or coil whine) If there is anything that I hate more than fan...

    I'm assuming you mean me :) No, not yet. Are they known to go bad? Although..... I had HP send me a new one within the first week due to incredible electric noise or "coil whine" which drove me nuts. This one has been working fine.

    Moved my stuff into a "rack" ;) This was all stacked on a desk somewhere. I realized that the letter trays/holders I had sitting full of papers fit each device perfectly, had holes on the sides and plenty of clearance. This was a lot cheaper than buying a small rack, rack ears and...

    If I Wanted To Start A VPN Business, Where Would I Start?

    If I Wanted To Start A VPN Business, Where Would I Start?

    Instead of going on about the NSA, lets get back to your original question... Like others have said it would cost a huge amount....but if you want to start small as you have said (I mean fairly small here) Buy a few virtuailzed private servers around the world, either from one of the big...

    Just moved my lab onto a "rack" (box with a tablecloth),and bought a new server. I'm hoping this will be temporary. This is what I practice with and have gathered over time. None of this is "production", just messing around with Networking Gear: 2 x ASA5505's 1 x 1801 (w/ADSL...

    HP 1910 series switch

    I totally get where you're coming from dude, I do, being that I'd be one to dish out the same advice to others, but here are the reasons I'd like to avoid such a thing. First and most importantly I don't want to spend 400$ on a brand new switch that I'd have to modify Second I'm a stickler for...

    HP 1910 series switch

    you could say I'm not a FAN of doing that ..... nah :) I just need to HEAR some objective opinions on the noise levels. ..... I'm buying the 8/16 port brand new at NCIX and I can deff return them if they don't work out, its just I don't want the hassle

    HP 1910 series switch

    Does anyone have any experience with the HP 1910 series switches? I'm considering getting the 1910-8G PoE+ (65W) for home and the big issues are advanced layer 2/3 features such as VLANs and SNMP and how quiet they are. I believe they are re branded 3COM, has anyone had any issues with...

    Practical Real World Network Lab problems

    Hey fellow network-ers, I'm looking for mostly free (but paid is fine too) network labs. I'm sick of doing questions studying for my CCNA and I'd like to see if anyone knows of any resources. For example I don't want to choose from a list of multiple choice questions such as what a VLAN is, what...

    OpenGear OOB modem issues...

    Yeah we've been through all of this, even with OpenGear support... -The line quality is so poor over 2 continents that the modems cannot handshake at 9600....or 2400 or....well anything one time we got at low as 384 ??? The issue is the amount of A --> D conversions over the telco...

    Web browsing issue I created and fixed in Windows.

    It's funny you mention this because I'm having the same issue. Slow web browsing. DNS changed locally and on router... I even switcheed providers (not on account of this problem)... I've done all you've done and more and it leads me to believe its a low level issue and DNS was my first...

    Best network differntial backup/imaging software...

    Ahh I haven't been resting, tonight I've been searching! Turns out the windows backup tool does not have an auto delete option(when used to do full system images), I've read up about it and yes there are (convoluted) options for managing how much storage a backup takes and how it deletes...

    Best network differntial backup/imaging software...

    I've played with the windows backup and either I didn't see it(more like didn't bother to look TOO hard) or it doesn't have the control I want over it, there is an option with in the the backup settings (all in Win7 btw) that makes a system image + backs up your files, I set this to backup my...

    Best network differntial backup/imaging software...

    Also I realized that I can just do weekly full backups from the definition I just gave and no that isn't what I'd like to do, its too much network traffic and hard drive thrashing I don't care for...I see it as copying my entire HD every week, which in some way seems wasteful or dumb or a...
