Ive searched through the posts and read the FAQ/Guides already, so forgive me/correct me if I missed it... But, why is vmware-server being used to run multiple guest-os's on a multi-core box? Im not asking why virtualization is being used, I understand how/why... Im wondering why vmware, and...

After a few years of waiting and doing it later, I bought a C3. 800Mhz, jetway with 10/100 ethernet. It was open box, at $45... I couldnt resist. its been sitting on my floor, in a mid-tower ATX case running Centos 4.5 for the past 2 days, just to make sure it wasnt broken seeing how it was...

Ive purchased a 1U 500Mhz celeron "server" off of ebay. I was mainly after the case, though for $32.00 I have a real pile of crap computer in a 1U rackmount case and Im quite happy with it, currently running Pfsense, and it barely even stresses the celeron past 10% cpu load with heavy...

I really dont know what category to stick this under, but I do remember quite a few people in the networking section having some experiance with this type of thing. This may sound like its rambling, but bear with me on this one. My younger brother is considering a career in...

Its been a long time since ive had a laptop, 3...4 years. I have my reasons for never getting another one, mainly because a desktop pc made more sense. But now things are different, its not that practical for me to drag around a CRT, Mid-atx case, keyboard, mouse, power strip etc everywhere I...

Is this site any way asociated with hardforum? Ive noticed they have sub-sections matching exactly to what hardforum has, and they also seem to have archived every semi-decent thread... I figured this would have caused problems with copyright issues, or does this just fall under fair use...

Ive been having difficulity with restoring a database. Its from a different website, trying to move the forum to a different server. All I have from the person is a full-backup, structure-only, and data-only backup from PhpBB2. What im trying to do, is restore the database file (ive been...

I hope nobody minds me posting this here, but considering the people that post here... Its a waste of time to stick it anywhere else (and expect answers). I purchased a P3-933Mhz small-form-factor hewlett packard off ebay, because I needed something to host my site offline, and I was getting...

Ive been using linux for about 5 years off and on... first started out with Freesco which is about as easy and basic as it gets. In the past ive messed with Redhat 7, redhat 9, Fedora, Turbolinux, Debain... Why the switching? Freesco was too slow for my compaq proliants, redhat 7 worked fine...

Im not sure how to properly describe what im seeing, so instead of trying to babble on for about 20 minutes, ill just post a youtube-quality video : Video from oblivion If you notice in the lower left-hand corner of my screen, you can see I have fraps running. At first when I noticed this...

The FX55 was over $1,000.00 when I built my computer. I ended up going with a socket 939 90nm winchester-core 1.8Ghz (3000+) athlon 64. I have a 6600GT PCI-E, 1024MB of ram, one 80 gig hitachi, one 250 gig segate. But now, my cpu is worth about as much as a ham sandwich, and the FX33 is now...

Ive been an NT4 fan for years, light and fast as windows 95 and about as stable as windows 2000. Before I get started, let me just say this... If you want to argue with me about how I should switch to windows 2000, dont even bother posting. ive been poking around on ebay for awhile, looking...

For awhile ive been looking to buy a 1U server or two for use as an offline test-server/backup server. 1U, mainly because my studio apartment is rather crampt with my damn subwoofers, king size inflatable mattress, and couch. I know enough in linux to get by, from using freesco for a few...

my CF-> IDE adapter came in the mail today. Plugged it in to the IDE cable (same one that my segate 250 gig is on), windows tried to boot. It got about halfway into fading from black to its loading screen, it froze and sat there with the hard drive lights on. I went and made a sandwhich, did a...

--Long winded preface-- Some of you may remember, I purchased a 24-port Cabletron switch off ebay months ago... Im quite happy with it, and seems to handle 8-10 people copying several gigabytes of files around without any issues. For $20.00, it was money well spent. Im picking up my 1U switch...

Ive had my Pfsense rig up and running for a full 7 days before I started having issues. I figured it was the router, after some fiddling I couldnt find any good reason for the things that were going on. - FTP wont connect, ive tried four different sites in two different programs, router...

Me and a few people have been looking to get a site together, its been nearly 10 years since ive done anything. I still know enough html to barely get by, but what im trying to do is making me look toward a CMS. Ive tried mambo, one thing I greatly dislike about it, and some other websites...

Box: 500Mhz K6 with a squealing fan, no hard drive, CD/Floppy monowall (till my CF-> IDE adapter arrives). SMC 10/100 PCI nic for the Wan (RL1), Realtec 82-something or other 10/100 (R0). 415 Megs of PC100 ram. ISP : Comcast, 4mb cable. Modem : Terayon TJ715 Heres the story : My main rig...

Im sure im not the only one, but many who lan-party or host them at your home for your group of friends, there has always been things you wish you would have done earlier, or had second thoughts about the way you had your server set up. I also apologize if this post makes absolutley no sense...

This has been discussed breifley once before, and I cant seem to find the post. Someone was talking about hosting a torrent on a LAN (offline from the internet). Ive always found that torrents are completley useless, except for certain (il)legal uses. At least, untill now. Every time I go...

This is a noob question, but please bear with me for this half a page of rambling: Ive picked up a Adaptec 2100S U160 adapter from the FS/T forum here, since my old scsi card called it quits after years of service in a compaq proliant 5500. I had bought an 18.2 gig 10k rpm scsi drive off...

After qwest had sent me the modem and set me up for the 7mb/896k DSL... It didnt work. It took 4 phone calls to tech support over 3 days before someone finnaly called me back to say that DSL actually isnt avalible in my area. RMA'ing the modem back to them at no cost to me, so I guess I cant...

My ISP recently lifted all traffic shaping/QoS on their WiFi network, and as you can guess... it doesnt take long before 20 users choke down 3Mbs of half-duplex bandwidth. Typical things I see, are pings in games going absolutley nuts, sometimes into 3-5 second ping range. Pings from my pc to my...

Ive been preparing to find what it takes to kill some SOHO routers, since I have a friend who honestly belevies a linksys home router is better than a big clunker 2U rackmount that im getting off ebay. I figured, hell, why not do a review of some routers and see what it takes to kill them...

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/271844_internetgambling27.html?source=mypi Im sure there are many people that participate in online gambling, and here is one good example of why its not a great idea to have your internet connection wide open to the public.

I still coudlnt really find anything decent that I wanted. I started thinking, maybe I could just spend ~400 on a powered subwoofer, then get a good quality low wattage amp to power some small bookshelf speakers. Found the velodyne units on ebay, they are called servo drivers with...

Ive been using trillian for awhile, but I keep getting crap like this : [07:00] [email protected]: hey you are the only person online on my buddylist. tonight is my first night getting dirty online, this is the only time id ask this but will you watch me? i cant talk anymore contact me...

Ive been contemplating setting up an LM555 timer and a relay to hard-reset my belkin router about once every... two seconds (Well actually about once an hour). I started googling for routers, and I came across this link at 3:00ish AM http://www.bizsyscon.com/product.php?id=1614 It seems...

So im driving home from work, 9:40pm. Windows down, 20mph, nice 55F outside. Pull into my driveway, go through the yard, walk up my stairs, open my door... It hit me like a brick in the face. for those who think im full of BS - Pics 55 outside, 110 inside. I dont open my windows because I...

Someone suggested I try out a CMS (content management system). I was looking for ways to edit/add pages without linking all of the pages together, or having to ftp, download, upload etc. Drupal,Geeklog,Joomla, mambo, PHP-Nuke, phpWCMS, phpWebSite, Post-Nuke Siteframe, TYPO3, Xoops. Ive...

My current P100 with 24MB of ram seems to have died on me. External keyboard refuses to work on the PS2 port, I tossed the original internal keyboard weeks ago... its boned. Ive had an offer from a forum member on a partially busted PII, for 50 plus shipping. Looking to route internet on a...

Im bulding a router using an old laptop I have. I dont really want to buy a more newish laptop, since they all seem to cost an arm and a leg for more than a 486. Specs: P133, 800Mb hard drive, 21MB of ram, dual 16-bit PCMCIA (getting some 3com cards from a hardforum member), no floppy drive...

Im looking to use my webspace for hosting videos (currently 70 gigs transfer, 5 gigs space to start out). Im looking to host videos for a forum, the userload wont be very high (probably no more than 2-3 people using it at any time). Will be to host gaming videos made with games like Fraps, since...

I need two 16-bit PCMCIA (cannot be 32-bit) Ethernet cards to use in a laptop linux router. I would prefer ones with dongles, some of the 3Com with the pop-out jacks wont work if two are in the laptop (no room to connect two Cat5 cables). Looking to spend no more than $10.00 shipped.

Looking to make some use out of my P133 laptop with a fubared video/screen (contrast slowly cranks up to pure white). Im going to toss the screen and just use the rest as a router. Freesco will be the OS of choice. Anyone here recomend any PCMCIA ethernet cards to use? remember, 16-bit only...

I Have a 4U rackmount case that I picked up at a scrapyard for $10.00, most of the cost was due to the 5 or 6 scsi cdrom drives that were in it, since they charge by the pound. Interesting thing about this case, is the side panels on it. None of this flimsly slide-in screw in side panels that...
