    Question: Cat 5e cable length between devices

    Never heard of such a a thing. The only distance length that I can confirm is that you shouldn't run CAT5/6 over 100 meters.

    CISCO 851W Router

    Wes!!! What up man? Long time no talk. I see you got some more certs under your belt. Seeing as how the 851 is only about $300 bucks....I'd say go for it. Aside from all the technical stuff...how cool is having a Cisco router at home? Much less a Wireless Cisco router. Go for it!! Yeah...

    SO I want to buy some new switches

    I have the modules but they would cost you extra. The modules alone are roughly 300 bucks retail. Sorry I can't give away the bank.:(

    SO I want to buy some new switches

    As far as I can see the only major difference that I see (I just glanced at the differences) is that the 2524 uses the fiber modules that require SC cabling and the 2510 uses mini GBICS. Price is 3 bills for 1 switch. 550 for 2 switches.

    Laptop possibly overheating

    So I have a Thinkpad T30 and it occasionally freezes up. No errors in the event log, no Windows Blue screens or kernel dumps or anything of that nature. The fan was clicking, so I replaced the fan. I've been looking for something to monitor the motherboard temp. Any other suggestions?

    Checking IP address

    While this is true.... If someone has a printer assigned with a static IP and it's turned off, you won't see that. Pardon me though for being Captain Obvious.:D You can also go into the DHCP utility for Server 2k3 to see what's in the scope of being handed out.

    Banner login (Server03/XP)

    You can do it through GPO. OR Do it via the registry and then sysprep an image and you now have all pc's built with that image using the login banner.

    Flashing Cisco IOS

    When I'm doing this...I crank up the baud settings to 115000. A 3-5meg file is done in about 2-3 minutes. If you leave it at 9600, it'll take you 2-3 hours sometimes.

    Email Notification if Server is Unreachable for Whatever Reason?

    I've seen Nagios up and running and must say it rocks. Not to scare you away, but I've been trying to figure out the damn thing for about 4-5 weeks. I've spent most of that time just reading about Linux. It'll be worth it, once I get it up and running.

    Anyone have experience with Dell switches?

    I hate to be a douche bag, but if they're anything like dell printers, dell laptops, etc. they probably suck. Give the HP Pro Curves a try. While they aren't Cisco they are a lot cheaper with very similar features. The 2650 is a nice L3 10/100 switch. It also comes with 2 uplink ports that...

    Default MAC address causes modem to lose connection

    I think you're paying the "you touched it last, you broke it card". It's probably one of those unrelated coincidences.

    switching to fibre

    Totally possible. Essentially, you're running a 1Gb switch with fiber instead of Ethernet. Same philosophy, just different cabling and not limited to the 100m distance.

    Yes you would have bigger issues, BUT we're not talking about terminal servers. Also, even if they get an access denied message, hack the local admin password and BINGO you have access to all those pretty 10101010101010101010101010100000's

    Poor man's Whatsup

    CCNA Curriculum Change?

    Without saying this too harsh....basically you're screwed. The old tests 640-801, 640-821, 640-811 all expire in November of 2007. If you do not finish the tests, you have to take the new curriculum exams (640-802, etc.) The new tests are also supposed to be $25 more than what they cost now.

    Best laptop brand

    I've been working with mainly Thinkpad laptops since 1999. Had a few stints with Dell laptops. I have to say Thinkpads hands down are the best laptops. I've touched (worked on probably over 1,000 Thinkpads and have never seen a CD-rom go bad, ram die, screens go out, keyboards fail). The...
