OK so planning an ESXi 5 installation for 2 win2k8 servers, a couple workstation instances and a few application (linux based) boxes. Will have an openfiler setup for iSCSI on another box containing the images, and a 3rd box which will run backups for the entire network. The 3rd box I was...

Does FreePBX handle the NIC's that ESX 4 or 5 will provide?

We jsut set up a crazy client with Aruba networks stuff. Granted they are a wireless firm but have a very good offering in enterprise level switching. IMHO Cisco and Juniper are better at cores and routing, but if Wifi is a goal - they win hands down.

This is the right tree to bark up. Essentially what is going on is your reply packets from inside only go out one WAN, and the outside host drops it of course. If you only have a couple hosts you need forwards to you can restrict them to a particular WAN (the easy way out). A harder way (the...

Howdy, just a quick sanity check. Want to do L2 vpn from one site to a remote site - both sites have cable and dsl as a backup. Have a Cisco 1811 at one site (with advanced IP suite), and looking at a 1921 SEC/K9 with a 4 port EHWIC at the other end. Will these 2 talk VPN? Just looking...

Typically you would use an HTPC AT the display device, and use it to play videos, etc that are stored on either it, or retrieved from a server (NAS). Seems you want to use a computer to build as a server, and looking for a display device (like an xbox 360 or ps3, or Roku, or other small STB)

I've been doing this for a while with MythTV. I have 2 "hybrid" digital/analog tuners that I had from a while ago - Hauppauge 1800 and 1600. Which gives me 2 HDTV OTA tuners. We removed the Comcast bill about a year ago and moved to Uverse for Internet only at 24/2 for $60/month. Compared to...

Use LOTS of SunOS with SPARC cpus here. ISP in the Caribbean. Used as databases, application servers, DNS, DHCP, etc mostly. Also have a few hyper-V clusters and some VMware stuff. Its all moving to Sun's VM that which can be moved.

The book - "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Photographs-Digital-Updated/dp/0817463003 Pretty much cemented my understanding of how to take a picture.

What is doing the routing betwixt the vlans? Perhaps VLAN 101 is the management vlan (thus on all the ports?)

Yup: //192.168.27.9/tv /var/lib/mythtv/TV cifs auto,user,username=<user>,password=<password>,uid=mythtv,gid=mythtv,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0 (from my myth installation obviously)

OW on YOUR left side. Tab DOWN - Pointing AWAY from you. Dunno if thats right but I've been doing that successfully and consistently for 10 years now.

Oh the problem with the dishes was that it was too CLOSE! Only 800 feet or so. I put up the 3com devices, with their 6db or so directionals (patch antenna really) and its fairly well good to go. Its that now the trees are growing up and in the rain it drops. VIbration at 16 miles is totally...

They have an 1811 deployed at the corporate side already for 2 dsl lines, but I've been away from Cisco stuff long enough to no longer recall if there are licenses needed for that sort of stuff. The 1811 deployed does have an advanced image if I recall so maybe I just need a single 861 on the...

Yeah running a trench isn't going to happen. There is a water table involved and its a condo office style building - essentially whats there is there. The 2 buildings aren't owned by the same entity and they aren't "owners" but long term renters. There certainly isn't budget for cutting the...

I have a client adding a warehouse soon. The current warehouse is actually right next to the new one, but the added space means bandwidth goes up and a number of phones need to go in. Warehouse is 800 feet down the parking lot in the next building from the corporate office. No bandwidth...

Well thats just completely wrong.

Phone center - BIG phone center. They did Compaq (main call center huge floor about 300 workstations) and IBM (smaller) and a lot of other consumer level tech support. I'm in the "IS" dept - code for "workstation side". I worked 10a-11p on the sun-wed shift (halfday wed) - and Sunday morning I...

So I quick VNC into his machine and sure enough something / someone was sifting through his email. port 5900 is a common target, as is 3389. I was logging nightly dictionaries against my port 5900 forward to my DVR in the living room until I moved it to port 5901 on the WAN side lol. Haven't...

Your passwords are not secure unless >10chars with full alphanumeric and special characters. finding a 6 character dictionary based word like: apples is the simplest thing in the world and HUGGGGE dictionaries exist. Essentially - don't make your password an actual word - leet-speak it...

Had 4 lines - one CAT5e over 100 feet in the plenum from the NID. No issue. 6mb/384 lines x4

Not legally. At least not in the USA. The FCC limits the ERP of the device to a certain amount I can't possibly memorize, but isn't really relevant here - as most consumer devices approach it. The Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 is widely regarded as a very very good wireless radio side with an external...

I work for a cable ISP in the Caribbean. The IP you are describing is likely the cable modem itself. In most cable systems the users RF modem (we call them "CM's") obtain an IP address, typically in the local range (10.x.x.x) Your PC (if directly connected) or firewall will pick up another...

Provided the "gateway" does DNS forwarding (not all do) - yes, this configuration makes sense. The problem is that one day one of your clients will not see the server and try to resolve local addresses by using openDNS. I've also seen windows idiotically ignore the first entry in the DNS...

Might I suggest everybody get prologue back out, just for kicks. Also buy your wheel/pedals NOW, theres a massive shortage coming soon. I nabbed my logitech driving force GT and it totally changed prologue for me. Now I'm figuring out how/what I can build for a racing seat. No joke.

Threw another PC up, c2d 2.something stock, about 15 hours a day it can fold.

Anyone have Matrixesque visions? Thousands of Chinese or Indians (Or American's, it's really whoever is first to market and dominating right?) - whose only purpose is to drink beer or coffee and water and pee all day long. Well it's urea of which there are cheaper ways to make, but the...

Just wanted to say howdy - 22 hrs/day on my q6600 stocker, and also 23.8 hrs/day on the xeon 2.4ghz (netburst) for the [H]orde. Avg. Points Per Calendar Day 6,082.00 Not far at all behind the xtians, and #11 is totally reachable.

I'm such an End User when it comes to just about anything Apple. I have "subscribed" to a number of podcasts, both audio and video in iTunes on my desktop at home. I've turned off "sync" for everything as I need the ability to connect with both my work and my home PC. SO I load a couple...

WOOHOO! I'm feeling the film love in this thread! Lots of folks are going back to film. Or at least opening it up. Digital sorely lacks in actual resolution and dynamic range. Shoot a bright blue beach sky with some puffy clouds and include a sandcastle with a heavy shadow. Guaranteed...

Anyone have much exp working on an iphone/ipt app - connecting up to a server for work order completion/signature capture/parts lists? I could conceivably have a real contract opportunity for someone skilled in this.

Totally signed up a few weeks ago. No sign of anything showing up though. Have a nice mac mini and a new HD to try it out on too.

Anyone using this productively? I have a specific "Collaboration Services" quesiton. Also - is there any pre-built web stuff built in? (looking for a work order generation and response type program)

I'll second that MCE is not meant to be controlled with a touch screen. It's best done at 10 feet with a remote control. You need to do things like map gestures to keystrokes. It's not slick or easy at all. The simplest and best carPC as a media player I've seen was to use a player hard...

'nother q6600 - mostly run stock - will run 24/7 and when I'm not compiling if the wife doesn't find it. Possibly an old school xeon (2003ish era) as well if I can fix the fan.

Then what you need is some method of mounting 5 speakers around your head - I'm thinking similar to Doc Brown 1955 in BTTF when he was trying to read Marty's brain. 5.1 Headsets virtualize this. Most don't have anything besides a number of speakers within each ear cup with some magic to...

According to AS - the application method depends on the type of CPU installed. However - a half pea size in the center is basically fine. Just let the heatsink spread it out and if you get some goobing out of the side - you put on too much.

While not specifically SFF per se - I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of small cases for regular ATX style motherboards? I've got a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R that I need to put in the smallest possible area. Only needs a single HD, no cdrom or floppies.

One book all you noobs need to go buy right now is "Understanding Exposure" by Brian Peterson. With any luck some of you folks will make the move to film, like so many pro's do these days. And adorama is one of the largest camera equipment retailers around. Definitely legit. They are the...

Here is something I haven't seen answered - (perhaps I'm just blind though). Win xp MCE was never able to handle clearQAM natively. Or there were some hacks to make it work. Does Win 7 Media Center able to use my Hauppauge tuner and decode clearQAM without too much trouble?
