    Sata Disk Unrecognized by OS

    It could just be a simple case of needing an F6 driver installed when you first start your windows install. That would definitely cause the BSOD at the time you mentioned. If they don't work on Linux either, then there is a pair of BIOS settings (don't recall ATM) that need to be set to let...

    Blank RJ45 ends to block keystones

    I'm trying to clean up some of the ghetto ideas that are in those rooms, not make it worse by using patch cables that lead to nowhere. These business types are fragile enough without having to question the useless patch cable.

    Blank RJ45 ends to block keystones

    I'm looking for something to cap or plug a female rj45 keystone. I have a bunch of phone and ethernet connections going into conference rooms and outside visitors are constantly trying to connect through phone jacks. This doesn't do any harm, but is an annoyance. I want something that can...

    network storage

    The Linksys NSLU2 is a cool device that I've heard mostly good things about as long you flash the firmware for better NTFS support. I'd buy one if I needed it.

    Where to get supplies to put ends on cat5e??

    I assume the cable is solid core and not stranded since it sounds like it's leftover structure cable. Generally, you don't want to use rj45 ends on solid cable because they don't crimp as well as stranded and could break with use as a patch cable. Similarily, you don't punch stranded category...

    Getting a decent 1U Dell Server...how do I set it up as a firewall?

    it does seem like quite a bit of machine if you are only serving you home network for example. What kind of network, or how much bandwidth are you planning on running through this machine?

    10/100/1000 Cat 5e and a 110 Punch down block?

    sounds like an interesting location. Not sure about this brand (hubbel premise guy myself), I just did a quick google search but there are a lot of products that you could use, specifically this guy. Cat 5e, and 6 will do gigabit no problem, and those panels are small to fit your area, just...

    Grounding and bonding procedures for equipment racks

    I'm not talking about the server room specifically, I'm talking about the remote closets in each building. Our server room does have a 2 gauge bare copper cable suspended underneith the floor in there where that equipment is grounded. The thing I've been reading is that the rack doesn't...

    Grounding and bonding procedures for equipment racks

    We are starting to take the grounding situation a bit more seriously for consistancy on campus and I have some questions about practices and products. We have about 75 telecommunication rooms spread out around campus with varying amounts of grounding installed. For a system to be "uniform" and...

    1GB internet, the swedes does it again...

    as far as I know, the uploads are totally reasonable compared to the download speeds. Sure you can get 5Mb downloads from big shot websites, but the big thing over there is p2p. When all of your neighbors are connected at LAN speeds large file transfers will happen.

    Is there a way to find an IP address from a MAC address?

    Try the comment about the last guy not leaving the info and see if that works. If not, email them again from a different email or something and ask if holding the reset while power cycling is a hard reset like on so many devices it is. You may also want to ask if the soldier points in the...

    what exactly is S.M.A.R.T?

    Ok, that makes sense. I meant to ask if Promise controllers worked in my other post, not Adaptec. It makes sense that a raid would appear as a single logical drive, but what about an ata/133 controller? All four drives are considered separate logical units, but I guess it's still a matter of...

    what exactly is S.M.A.R.T?

    If Everest Home edition does not grab SMART info through Raid controllers or ATA controllers, does the Corp version? I checked their website and didn't see anything confirming it. What software does grab SMART info through Adaptec ATA/133 ide cont. and Apaptec Fast Trak Raid cont?

    Wiring new building

    What state are you in? I'd be very worried about inspection as well. I've seen jobs like that where the inspector tells you to pull out all cable in violation and run it correctly or you get cited. Probably get like 30 days to do it all too. National Electric Code book is a good thing to...

    How do I find out my ISP's DHCP server name?

    Try using a crossover cable in place of the red switch in your layout if you haven't already. As for your other problem with the modem not assigning an IP to the smoothie, check your config and make sure that dhcpd is starting as a service so that it's up to actually recieve an IP. If...

    What The...??? Dell is watching us

    how much should this job cost?

    Or you could leave too much cable length in the box so the wire twists and crimps on itself when you screw the faceplate on. Or use the incorrect tool when you're removing the outer jacket and nick the wires without knowing it. Back to the job, bring a cordless drill and a phillips bit...

    Wireless Site Survey

    I don't know the scale of what you're trying to site survey, or the resources available, but if you're running Cisco equipment for example, there is a product called WLSE that you can install and it will do everything you need to manage your access points. One feature being site surveys, you...

    What temp. Do you keep your Server Room at?

    exact same thing where I'm at. 70 degrees too. The campus was doing some power grid changes over spring break and we knew the power was going to be played with. Shouldn't be any problem, we have our own backup generator for the servers and AC. Well, the power went off, and the AC went...

    Which Gigabit Switch?

    Another vote for the 8 or 16 port powerconnects from dell. They're rackmountable, which was a big deal for me, and they only have 128k PBM, but they haul. I'm very pleased. Are any of the other switch models posted so far manageable? I doubt it because of the prices, but I'd love to get...

    FS/FT: Lots of Dlink Gigabit Ethernet Cards 10/100/1000/Ipaq/Ibook/PsTwo with San An.

    I'll just put in a good word for the guy. I bought 6 from him, and shipping was incredibly fast. All were retail packaged and they all worked perfectly. I'm very happy to have Gig cards running so now I can spend a little more and get a SWEET switch to go with these HELLA CHEAP CARDS. :)
