Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with replacing the Verizon FIOS HD-DVR set-top with a 3rd party box? I am looking to see if I can get a better tv experience and save the $17 bucks a month from my FiOS bill. Thanks!

thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

No reason in particular. I was just researching this scenario to see if it was possible.

Does anyone have any input or feedback on my idea to find a private internet provider? I want a provider that allows me to create a site-to-site VPN tunnel to their facilities, I want to then route all of my internet traffic from my comcast/verizon/tier 1 provider data over their tunnel and...

The purpose of installing this is really only for 2 reasons. 1) The site in which we are working with has 100 some Cisco switches all on different versions of IOS for their respected models. We want to build a local copy of the IOS and once it has been fully tested, push it out to all of the...

Well that doesnt really help me at all. Thanks. I do not have a choice as this is what the customer has on the network already and this is what I am tasked to do. I just want some input on anyone who has used it before.

Has anyone every installed and deployed CiscoWorks from the ground up? We are looking into installing it to manage around 20+ switches (all cisco of course) and I wanted to get some feedback from those who have used it. I have never installed CiscoWorks or played around with it before but it...

Just get packet tracer. I believe Cisco is on version 5.2 now. It will save you money and space. It is perfectly fine for learning VTP, STP, setting up switch and small route environments. No sense in paying all of that money for physical routers and switches when you dont necessarily need...

That makes me feel a little better. As I have typed this reply I am sitting at my desk and my Incredible is LOCKED at -85dBm and it is displaying 1 bar out of 4 and has dropped to 0 bars for a split second. I think it is some software bug that hopefully they will fix.

Yes, I have done that from my apartment, while driving to work, and I have done it while sitting here at my desk. http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Devices/HTC-INCREDIBLE-RECEPTION-PROBLEM/td-p/192561/page/2...

I just bought my new HTC Incredible phone for Verizon. When I left the store I noticed that I only had 1 bar of service and the majority of the ride home I only had a bar of service. Ocassionally I would see the phone spike to full coverage but almost immediately drop back down to 1 bar or no...

Thanks for the congrats everyone. It took me about 6 months of off and on studying to pass. I took the ICND1 exam in August and was able to pass it. I went back to grad school and put the rest of my CCNA studying on hold until this past January. As far as the CCNP exam goes, I havent really...

I used dynamips and the like because I was able to get a hold of a bunch of different IOS versions for different devices, but after taking a class through work I got the latest of Cisco's Packet Tracer. After using packet tracer, I love it. It might not be as "real" as running an IOS on your...

Got a score of 840 on the ICND2 exam (I had already passed the ICND1 exam). So now I am fully and officially CCNA certified! Anyways, I am considering to begin preparations for the CCNP exam. How many of you out there are CCNP certified? What route did you take? Any input is greatly...

I am running Windows 7 within a SMB domain environment (Apple Mac OS X Server 10.4) and I am able to browse the SMB shares off of my Mac as well as read/write just fine. However, I am unable to join the domain. After weeks of searching and contacting apple through our support agreement (we buy...

I believe if it is a new switch with a lower MAC address and you plug it into the network unconfigured it will consider itself the root/server switch. After that it will erase everything across all switches in that VTP domain and replace it with what is in its own vlan db (which is nothing).

Since I passed the ICND1 exam a few weeks back I am now studying for the ICND2 exam. I have a copy of all of the exam requirements per cisco.com, a copy of the official Cisco ICND2 academy book by Wendell Odom, and a few spare routers lying around. What I am wondering is what can I expect on...

And yes, Phil, I made the common link between the two routers on the same subnet /30 (essentially setting up a PPP connection between the two routers). I do understand now why everything was broken before. My bad on that one...

Yes, I re-enabled the subnet verification using validate-update-source. I still see all of the routing updates if i use the rip/ip debug commands. You are saying I shouldn't see those? In regards to the cabling issue, I tried another cable and also checked it with a cable tester but I still...

Everything is working. Everything (all interfaces) can ping each other and I receive all of the correct routing/rip updates, etc. I wanted to thank you all for the help. One last question: The only way I can get these routers to correctly communicate is to connect them together via...

I had to leave the router setup but I really appreciate your help phil. I think i finally figured it out. I have a router with 2 interfaces and 2 "networks" assigned to each of those interfaces that are on the same subnet, which as you said, creates the split horizon/routing loop issue that is...

Okay, fair enough. Then let me ask you this: Those "routing" loops that are in the table were created by RIP after it got its advertisements/updates. Im guessing there is an error in my RIP configuration on both routers and that is causing my loop? Wouldnt RIP be smart enough to rectify this...

Ahhh, thanks phil. What would you recommend to rectify that problem. I am sorry if I am asking too much but I really dont fully understand things until I see them correct for myself. :cool:

Thanks for the help! But...how do I make those next hops valid? Do I setup a static route to them...? I guess I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it because I was under the impression that RIP took care of that. I understand the reason why the routers get the updates because they...

Im assuming my network addresses and subnets are all correct on each router. I have the following configured: Router1: FastEthernet 0/0: 160.81.1.1 255.255.0.0 FastEthernet 0/1: 150.80.1.1 255.255.0.0 Router2: Ethernet 0/0: 12.1.1.1 255.0.0.0 Ethernet 0/1...

Here is the output from my "debug ip packet" command. Thanks xphil IP packet debugging is on Baltimore# *Mar 27 14:44:36.460: IP: s=160.81.1.1 (FastEthernet0/0), d=224.0.0.9, len 52, r cvd 2 *Mar 27 14:44:36.460: IP: s=160.81.1.1 (FastEthernet0/1), d=224.0.0.9, len 52, r cvd 2 *Mar...

Here is the routing table for each router: Router1: C 160.81.0.0/16 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0 R 12.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 15.1.1.1, 00:00:15 C 150.80.0.0/16 is directly connected, Ethernet0/1 R 15.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 12.1.1.1, 00:00:15 Router2: R 160.81.0.0/16 [120/1]...

I dont think these routers have anymore than the basic IOS installed. Neither are running the advanced-security IOS images. Router1 is running 12.2 and Router2 is running 12.4. I will check though and see. You very well maybe right. Thanks for the idea!

As some of you probably recognize (since I posted something about going for my CCENT last week) I am in the middle of studying for the exam. Currently I have the following configuration: 1 Cisco 2611XM Router 1 Cisco 2611 Router Both routers have only 2 Fast-Ethernet ports and I have...

Could you perhaps give an example of a CCENT sub netting question? In my CCNA books, sub netting is obviously a big topic and some of the questions can get a little difficult. I am assuming on CCENT they give you a block of addresses (ex. 160.254.101.167/27 ) and then expect you to come up...

Has anyone taken the new CCENT course offered by Cisco? Before I went around and jumped into the new CCNA I thought I would take the CCENT and see how the exam is. I just finished reading through a whole book on a variety of topics for the course and I was interested to see if anyone has taken...

Our current server is a Mac 10.4 server running as our domain controller and is handling open directory, DNS, and SMB/Windows service. We wanted to upgrade this domain controller to 10.5 without having to rebuild the box from scratch so that we can migrate all of its open directory info and...

I am having an internal debate about which is a better cable to use; a hand made Cat 5e cable or a store bought Cat 5e cable. I am using a bunch of patch cables that I made by hand a couple of years ago for the servers at my office and I am wondering if swapping out these old hand-made cables...

I just purchased a fibre channel switch to create a backup network for our Mac and Intel based servers here at the office. I am thinking about deploying XSan here in the office to take advantage of our 2 existing Apple XServe RAIDs. I am trying to find out how exactly this "metadata controller...

thanks a lot
