    Did I setup Active Directory correctly? (re: OSX, Linux, Vmware can't join domain)

    Does your AD server have itself listed as the DNS Server ? It need to be able to resolve all the dc_RPC records, etc. which are present in the Domains DNS.

    What all do you run for software / servers at home?

    I have dual internet connections, a primary 50meg cable connection for all my home entertainment, kids internet ipads, etc. And an 18Mbit Uverse connection for my lab, VPN, extranet connectivity. I policy route all the inbound primarily into my ASA, but the uverse connection also has an...

    Creative D200 - any experiences?

    7 months on the [H] and policing other people's posts ? /chuckle.. To the OP, i personally think they're overpriced. buy the Jawbone, or if you can find a toucan, they're pretty decent. The large Jawbone is on WOOT today for like $179. and it's awesome.

    Modify HTTP traffic on the fly

    with iRules on F5 you can do this quite easily. It's as simple as intercepting the inbound HTTP, parsing out the command, and reformatting it to have whatever values you need. (assuming the API call is consistent.) You might spend some time over on the F5 forums, and look into irules...

    VPN for Public IP

    If you don't have a public IP, you won't have much luck for an inbound tunnel, obviously. If you could RDP to a jump box, from inside your network you could conceivably have a shot. The issue will be whether and what type of VPN your PATd home connection will allow outbound. e.g. SSL vpn...

    Help creating a OSX restore/install disk

    Use DiskMakerX http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mavericks-usb-install-drive/ Also, all you have to do is hold down the Option key while booting and you'll be able to restore over WiFi. Will take a while but doable.

    Routing between virtual networks/subnets

    Just use NAT mode, and break out that second segment as a pure L2 segment. Unless you need to route between them within the P_Host ? e.g. Let your 192.168.1.0/24 subnet be the egress for Internet, and run that VLAN in NAT mode. Then take your 192.168.10.1 segment, leave it as Host...

    Purpose of adding a router to a WLAN

    Not really, but it depends on what you're trying to solve. First, it's actually 2 - boxes in one. The WLAN is a pure layer 2 device, so it's just switching frames from the WLAN (WiFi) down to a switchport, to route it out to the web, and back to your wireless host. Some basic steps you...

    How to subnet and add vlans into my existing IP network

    You can PM me offline with specific questions, or I can try to address inline. If the gateway / edge device support trunking, you could create an 802.1q trunk line between the edge device, and whatever switch you want to use. Think of a trunk like you'd think of one of those Bar soda wand...

    Bitcoin what?

    the whole crypto currency subculture is absurd. There exists a current (key in on that term, "current") finite mathematical probability of "x" amount of values being derived in "y" amount of cycles... thus, the measure of relative value, of the "coin", is derived from the relative...

    Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro worth it?

    Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro worth it?

    After almost 7 months with my non Retina MBP I'm really glad actually that I didn't get the retina. 1.) the stuff isn't soldered to the board so I was able to upgrade it to 16gb ram for almost nothing. 2.) I didn't want the optical drive anyway, so i used the extra space to install the...

    Bootcamp and right click, etc.

    I noticed you're relatively new to Mac, so I wanted to offer some other suggestions. If you already have it bootcamped, and at any point you wanna start to play with Mac OsX, you can install VMWare fusion on it, and import your BootCamp partition as a VM. That way, you can access the Windows...

    OSX Maverick malware/rootkit scanner?

    Little Snitch on the Mac will tell you where connections are being sent. If the Malware is sending C&C data to a compromised host, you'll be able to identify it via LS... I recommend running Little Snitch on any Mac in a corporate environment.

    Couple of questions regarding an iMac purchase

    I have to agree on applecare. But, I have an imac and almost never need the optical. It's also one of the first components to fail usually. Have you considered investing in a good cloud service like Box.com or something and going media-less ?

    Little Snitch Evernote Fusion 4 or 6 for virtualization. Oh and a little known secret to new users, if you can locate the demo's for ilife 09 and iwork 09, you can update them to full versions via the app store. You get stuff like garageband, i photo, etc. for free.

    What is it with all the new users PM'ing to buy stuff?

    This is so true. Some of us have been very active in the community but don't feel compelled to spam away into the threads... There should be a tertiary credibility "check" besides post count. I'm sure however, that it's helped minimize the scams and ripoffs.

    Copying 50 GB on wifi, 5 hours, connect to lan to speed things up, 16 hours

    SMB doesn't handle TCP ack in the file copy stream with large frame sizes very well. Copying 50GB is going to take time. just download filezilla and do it over FTP, which on the same lan will yield about a 500% improvement in file copy speed. You can also try making sure your NIC, and...

    Building a new PC: Advice Needed

    I agree with the first reply. First, realize the lifecycle of each of the components. RAM, Drives, and CPU are going to probably last the life of the system. While the GPU will likely be something you'll be swapping out at some point. Go with an SSD boot and 3 x 2TB SATA drives in Raid-5 for...

    Bill Gates Admits Control-Alt-Delete Was A Mistake
