I know how to work with Cisco switches but I need to program a Dell switch with a few VLANs and some trunk ports. If anyone is good at programming Dell switches please PM me with your contact details. I'm willing to pay to have this programmed. Thanks.

One of my clients has a WinXP Pro x32 machine based on the nForce2 chipset (asus board) and using the onboard nvidia networking (without the crappy nvidia firewall). The network card can get an IP (192.168.1.3) from my fios router. I can ping localhost I cannot ping the router I cannot ping...

No raid, just some extra sata ports for my WHS. So far my best contenders are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132003 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124027 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815150095 They are...

I have a computer consulting side business and I run into wireless issues on a regular basis at various customer sites (normally homes). If someone just wants to hook their home up with wireless I'll install a typical Linksys N router. They never give me any problems. If someone already...

We have a catalyst 3650 that is essentially the hub of our entire company (~20 servers, voip shoretel phone system, 70 clients, slave switches, etc etc). Right now I simply have nagios set to ping the switch to check it's host-alive status. Should I set up some SNMP stuff or anything to check...

I have a few of these problems but they all follow this basic format: the machine can be pinged from the internet the machine cannot be pinged from the nagios box The nagios box needs to determine if the machine is responding How can I do this? Is there some nagios service I can set...

I'm thinking of running Untangle as a rerouter on my WHS machine. The WHS machine is pretty beefy... AMD X2 2.6Ghz, 2GB memory, fast hard drives, etc... Dual AMD NICs. I realize Untangle prefers intel NICs, so I'll get a Pro1000GT in there to make untangle happy. Now the question...

I am trying to get the following nagios command to work. I'm running this in the command line for testing purposes before I wrap it into a service check. Note: I took this example out of 'Building a Monitoring Infrastructure with NAGIOS' by David Josephsen

This is a new (used once) 8 port RAID controller with the optional battery backup unit and battery. I decided to go with the Windows Home Server built in storage, so I don't have a need for this VERY NICE card. I don't have all the packaging anymore, but I have the important parts (2 x...

I have a supermicro server that current is populated by 2 x 512MB CL3 Registered PC133 DRAM. I would like more RAM for this server. Does anyone have any RAM they would like to sell. If you are curious if your RAM will work with my server, the board is a: Supermicro P3TDE6 This RAM is...

We just tightened down the hatches on our firewalls and now I want a full security scan against my network across all of our IPs Anyone know of a good website to do this for me? Or how I should do this?

Right now our in-house program uses SA logins for our client app. Way way insecure...I know. Our DBA wants me to set the SQL rights in group policy for the domain so that individual users can have more or less rights. How do I do that? Where in the GP tree?

We have Exchange 2007 entprise here at work. I need to start doing historical email journaling. Our Exchange server doesn't have the disk space to put all the journaling on it. Can I save the journals to a UNC path or something? Our SAN is pretty filled up. I do have a server with A LOT...

BackupExec 12.5 Windows 2003 x32 and Windows 2003 x64 clients Windows 2003 x32 BE Media Server Fileset: Millions of typical office files, plus some larger files. The millions of smaller (~5KB) files cause the backup time problem. I have a very large number of small files I'm backing up...

Well, I've been tossing around the idea of how to get a lot more storage onto our backup server. I already have a pretty modern server. I could get something like a 2U SAS direct attached storage and a new RAID controller to handle it. * Controller (3ware) ~$800 * Cabinet ~$1700...

I have a 1U server that has 4 x 3.5" bays. According to 3ware, I can fill those bays with at most 1TB drives (according to their official supported list). I need more storage. So I want something like a 1U or 2U external enclosure that can hold more storage. How can I get more storage to...

I hated Continuous protection server on BE 12. They apparently improved it in 12.5. I don't know if it's worth my time to set up a test bed. What do you guys think? I have an 80GB, 2.5 million file share that needs to be backed up. The share is very slow (20 Mb/s), so I need to keep it...

Do any of you snapshot your LUNs, backup from the snapshots, and then close the snapshots? I'm using BackupExec 12.5 on Win2003x32 R2 SP2 with an EMC AX150i

I have a web server that is firewalled inside the DMZ. I know I should take it off the domain and completely lock it in, but it needs to authenticate some security groups to the domain controller. What ports can I open up in order to let this server communicate with our primary DC? One way...

I have a few services running on a Win2k3 box that I would like nagios to monitor. I have the NSClient+ installed on the server, but can't figure out how to monitor a service. Some help please?

I'd say 90% of the client machines at my company are vPro enabled. I would like to monitor for power supply voltages, fan failures, etc etc. What is a good software to do this? Any chance I could integrate this into Nagios?

When you try to log in you get. What's this all about?

I have a macbook that had water spilled on it. I have to return it in order to have it replaced under insurance. I would like to recover the data first. I'm a windows user, how do I pull the data off the drive? Am I going to run into security problems? Run into file system problems? If I...

Someone on our network is eating the bandwidth and killing it for everyone else. The network is segmented into different subnets, all of the users in question are on the 192.168.4.0 network. All of these users go into a Cisco 3650 switch on their own VLAN. Is there a way I can figure out...

I have a client who would like to keep their home files backed up. They have 2 PC's and a laptop. WinXP WinXP WinME I was going to recommend Mozy Home to them. Can I back up all their computers with one account and keep it all seperate?

I would like some software that I can throw on a port mirror on my core switch that will allow me to analyze how much traffic is coming from what hosts, what kind of traffic, and generally monitor the lower levels of day to day network stuff. We recently had a host get a virus that made it...

Ok, so as I'm writing my functions in plpgsql, I should be using exceptions. DEBUG NOTICE EXCEPTION I'm writing my functions to be called by a person writing in C#. Let's say I have a function: sql_modify_user(user_id,first_name) He calls it, but the user_id doesn't exist in the...

We just had a machine on our network that caught a rootkit from an outdated Adobe Flash install. They did not go anywhere too weird on the internet or anything. Just business as normal. The computer then proceeded to act as the gateway for that network segment, bringing all internet and...

I have about a dozen runaway queries right now stuck in infinite loops. I'm on a shared hosting plan running PostgreSQL. I don't have privileges to stop the queries and I'm sure it's running amock with the CPU on that shared server. I told tech support about the issue, but they haven't...

I am trying to run this query: UPDATE dev.ref_ring_blueprint_def SET sequence_number = sequence_number + 1 WHERE blueprint_def_id = curr_max_record; It seems that sequence_number = sequence_number + 1 is causing an issue (stuck in an infinite loop). I'm new to...

I'm using PostgreSQL as a backend and writing the front end in C#. Right now I'm using the NPSQL driver as I read it is alot faster than the ODBC driver. However, the NPSQL driver doesn't integrate well with Visual Studio. So I'm wondering if slower development is worth the increase in speed...

If you have a table called 'users' that has all your typical user data in it.... first_name, last_name, telephone, address, etc. And you want to make a function that will modify this table, what would be the preferred method of writing this function. The most straight forward way of doing it...
