Sounds interesting... don't have any Cisco routers kicking around though unfortunately. Could probably get pfSense\Vyatta going in a VM, if that works? Oh, and I'm Australian... so that could be a no-no right there :P...

Cisco ConfigMaker as well as LabSim can be useful to complete parts of the CCNA but really, having a couple of routers and switches, serial (DCE\DTE type), ethernet and rollover cables is really the best.

QFT - Quoted For Truth ;)

Yeah, with only two disks, all you'll be able to do is RAID 1 or 0, not RAID 5. I've never seen someone create what you refer to as a "degraded RAID 5 array" as the idea behind RAID 5 is that it has an absolute minimum of 3 disks (as above - two for striping, one for parity\redundancy\as a 'hot...

You'll probably find that this is the way it is because RIS passes certain DHCP parameters to Windows 2003 Server's own DHCP server role, when it's installed. You've currently not got it installed, and so it's unable to pass those parameters that remote clients would use to boot up into the RIS...

Well, if it's any indication, my Dell Optiplex GX260, which has an Intel Pentium IV 2.4GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM and a 20GB Hard Disk Drive, struggles with even 720p playback (i.e. Quicktime HD 720p Videos). 1080p\i playpack is pretty much a non-event and 420p is probably the only one that...

Well, you'l see in the Extension Manager that there are a number of 'non-free' packages that can be installed and these are pretty much all of the advantages that you get when you get the Enterprise Edition - things like RADIUS authentication, WAP access, etc. Depending on whether you need...

Yeah, it has some fake trojans and hacking utilities in it. Most A\V software won't like it a lot. Having said that, I've tried and and it seems pretty useful :) - I'll definately be putting this one on my USB stick.

Yeah, it's possible with any linux distro. Just that you need a card which supports being dropped into 'MASTER' mode - a feature which a lot of cards don't support. But there is a list somewhere of 802.11a\b\g\n adapters that do support such a thing, Google 'Master Mode HCL' or something and...

Yep, I'm with Xipher. You'll experience much less headache with an NFS export than trying to get Samba working. Not because one is better than the other but because NFS was designed on *NIX for *NIX.

Homebrew! Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS Server Edition + Shorewall Firewall + dhcpd\bind\freeradius + OpenVPN. I'd run an actual firewall distribution except in all except really pfSense, OpenVPN and FreeRADIUS support are crippled (lack of AD Authentication in FreeRADIUS and lack of...

Ahhh. UNDER the desk. No wonder I couldn't find them... :cool: :D.

1.1.1.x for Internet Placeholder (WAN) 10.0.0.x for Local Area Network (LAN) 10.0.1.x for Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) 10.0.2.x for Wireless Network (wLAN) and also a OpenVPN Network to Network Link to a 10.10.0.x network :).

I really don't understand why you can't just purchase a decent ~$150 Wireless Access Point\Router (Running DD-WRT with Transmission Power upped a little) and a equally as decent Omnidirectional antenna + amplifier (if necessary) as well as the m0n0wall\Smoothwall\IPCop box. It would simplfy...

You'll most likely be looking for a PCMCIA Network Adapter that is 16-bit cardbus, not 32-bit - if that helps at all :).

~$90 isn't exactly what I'd call expensive. As he said, you can get killer deals off eBay these days on stuff like this. Fibre +1

By default, all traffic bound for the Internet and otherwise will travel through your VPN - as long as you've simply set it all up with the default settings. Things like Split Tunnelling and disabling getting the Remote Gateway will complicate things, possibly necessarily, but as I said, by...

AFAIK, 802.11a (5Ghz) has a much greater range as well - something to do with shorter\longer sine waves. Sorry, my physics fails me. Or rather, I fail my physics... :p. That's just one other reason though why it would be used over b\g. n, however, will be a valid option in coming years...

Ultimately, you're gonna want a VPN (Virtual Private Network) Connection for what you're trying to do. You can get that to work on a Router level (Router to Router VPN - thus the whole of both the two networks are on the VPN) or on a Client to Router\Client to Client VPN. The latter is harder...

QFT. I'm sorry, but there simply isn't much you can do to prevent the side effects of a user clicking each and every 'FREE SCREENSAVER!!!' or 'FREE WEATHER TOOLBAR!!!!' link. Your best bet is educating her - Spyware\Malware\Adware scanners usually are only designed for the odd bits of this...

For console access with Linux, use either SSH, RLogin or Telnet. For GUI access with Linux, use either VNC, Remote X Login or FreeNX. All should be Googleable.

While this is possible, your Wireless NIC must be able to support an adapter mode called 'Master Mode' or 'Access Point Mode' - the unforunate thing is that most Wireless NICs don't support either. Such a feature usually isn't put on the retail packaging either, so you've gotta do a bit of...

AFAIK, Auto-MDI\MDX is an industry IEEE approved standard. Don't quote me on that though - I've seen it on more than the majority of newish Switches\Routers these days so I'd say it is\has to be. Create a new thread because that doesn't have anything to do with the OP. And, for all...

Perhaps the one BUILT IN to both Windows XP and Windows Vista? Google time, yay! :rolleyes: . I've searched for this before and there is literally HUNDREDS of articles covering this from start to finish.

You might want to also drop your PC's NIC setting to 10BaseT (Half Duplex). I've found that things are much more stable when you are arguing with Routers, esp. SOHO ones. :) .

Yep, thanks for correcting me - I did think it was something I was configuring wrongly as that's exactly what I thought was happening. I'll have to have a look at it sometime soon and see if I can get it working properly :).

Hey there :). I've got FreeRADIUS working here at home with 802.1x Authentication via EAP-TLS self-signed certificates and it works quite well. I also got it working fine with 802.1x Authentication via MS-CHAPv2 (Active Directory) and that was pretty dandy that I could authenticate to my...

sheesh. Nice lot of stuff u got there. Mmm... contract work I imagine? Oh, how I would love to do that..... :D.

So far - this thread - Epic fail.

I don't see this as a problem at all either... :confused: . WakeOnLAN is a technology employed by pretty much ALL motherboards with onboard NICs. Even with PCI NICs, it's still employed with (or without, in some cases) a WOL Cable, connecting the NIC and the motherboard. It uses an...

No no. Your destination IP address + port need to be: 10.1.1.100:222 because remember, your SSH server RUNS on TCP Port 222. The only difference is that people externally, when accessing SSH servers, look on TCP Port 22. So that is why your SOURCE and DESTINATION ports need to be different...

Make that insanely fast. As in you couldn't do it. Better off just turning it off really. Unless of course you have ~0.01ms reaction times...:rolleyes: :D

:eek: Well, I guess that's one way to do it....:D . I hope you don't have an electrical short or anything one night.....:confused:

In that I hope he doesn't have like 1 network card in there that all 15 VMs share ;) . Shoulda been more clear lol, sorry :p .

Massive stab in the dark here, and it doesn't even really make sense. But what happens if you UNINSTALL Genie-Soft Backup Manager Server Edition? I was running that also when I was having issues. I still haven't found out the root of my problem really, so if it was Genie-Soft Backup Manager...

The MS Police are on his ass :p.

You can always Add\Remove Templates when you right click on the "Administrative Templates" Tree, but I think the problem is deeper than that. I've experienced this before, once, if I recall correctly. What other applications do you have installed that aren't Microsoft branded (well, that...

:eek: I hope not, that'd be awefully slow and painful with 15 Virtual PCs - when they're all using the network...:(

Hmm, I hate to hijack the thread, but I'm interested in just what Acronis appears to not be able to do - Restoring multiple images to multiple computers, or even just 1 image to multiple computers. It just doesn't appear to be able to do it. Sure, you can BACKUP multiple computers using...

ooo....another 'Yay! OpenDNS!' thread... for me to tear apart :cool: . Firstly, all OpenDNS is a caching Internet Nameserver (DNS Server) that provides free DNS Services to people who may experience timeouts or lag on their ISP's DNS Servers. It also incorporates some other features like...
