You MAY be able to avoid it by using a public proxy server.......but not everything will work well through a proxy. What hop is that router in your route? Just guessing, but since your're in Ohio and you're using roadrunner that host looks like it's your default gateway, if that's the case, there's ...

What are you using to determine your bandwidth and what speed are you suppose to be getting? I've seen some REALLY unreliable bandwidth tests out there. The ones at DSL reports.com work really well.

Have you used to registry tweaks found under the broadband section on this site? It's quite possible ...

I have a T1 line that I want to share wirelessly with my neighbors. I have checked with my provider and I won't be breaking any of their policies in doing this. My concern is with p2p file sharing. I want my neighbors to be able to use my line so we can share video files we edit and save them from ...

Hello all,

I have a Cisco PIX 501 firewall with 3DES set up at a location that I VPN to via Cisco VPN Client 3.5.1.
I can connect to the site just fine, even remotely control desktops via pcAnywhere, but what I can't do is use the Internet from the VPN client machine.
First, let me tell you about ...

Frame is 256k burstable.
Branch offices log in to a DC at the mothership.
Name resolution is great. Good name lookup and ping times.
E2K is service paked.

Now that you brought it up I'm going to look in to putting a temp server to process logins at the branch office to see what that might do.

BDillon21

We have an Exchange 2000 server with Outlook 2000 as mail clients. Everything works fine at the main office, but at branch locations connected to the main office via frame relay will experience late Outlook reminders. Runing the cleanreminders command will cure the problem for a couple of days, but ...

OK, I fixed it. I have 5 other computers and 2 laptops, so I started going through the registry looking at keys.

Here is a pic of the FIXED key @ HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class:

I can't find anything online about it.

Yep, nothing there though I have a sneaking suspicion it may be Windows Update causing this.

BDillon21

OK, I have a problem that I need a little help figuring out.

First off, I'm running WinXP home on a Sony Vaio PCV-RX650 desktop system.

Recently I installed Drive Image so I could make CD backups of my hard drive, but when I run the program I don't have the option to back up to CD. Upon further ...

Sent you a PM.

BDillon21

Well, you didn't specify your preference but I went to UPS and quoted a 1lb package 6"x4"x4" and it comes out just under 9 bucks, which is a bit much. I could probably mail them priority mail for abour $3.50. I'll look in to that.

EDIT:

OK, we have these priority mail boxes here at work, it's $3 ...

BDillon21

$50 bucks!!

No, really though I'll take a buck per disk, plus your choice of shipping.

BDillon21

OK no takers I see....I can understand that, ZIPs are old technology, thus the reason I am getting rid of them.

I don't want them anymore, I don't use them, they are taking up space. $50 plus shipping for all of them.

Any takers?

BDillon21

Hard drives wouldn't be feasable. They're way too sensitive. People who take offsite backups with them leave them in cars, toss them in a purse, leave them in a lunch cooler, expose them to all kinds of nasty things.
A hard drive is way to sensitive to live in that type of environment.

Speed is ...

I have 55 100 MB Zip disks that I want to sell. Most of them are iOmege, some are Fuji. Some are colored, some are black. All but 2 come with their jewel case. Some have labels, others won't because I need to peel them off. I will sell all 55 of them for $90.00 plus your choice of shipping.

If not ...

kold,

Could you give me some examples? I found some Cheetah drives on NewEgg but this SCSI crap confuses me.

I cannot find a SCSI RAID controller card (something here is leading me to believe that I'm retarded and you don't need one, or perhaps it's in the MOBO)

There are a million different ...

Definately, go with gigabyte and VIA. Buy a decent SCSI controller card :)

BDillon21

OK, so any ideas on a SCSI setup then? Maybe some 36 gig HDDs?

What Tape Drive, MOBO and RAID card would you use? Also, which type of RAID would be best for rock solid redundancy?

I'm sorry, I just have never had the chance to work with SCSI from scratch. I have maintained small sevrers with a ...

Hello all.........

Not sure where to put this post, so I put it here.

I want to build a file/print/mail/domain controller server for a Credit Union (I know it would be best to have these on different machines, but money is a factor here) and don't really know what to do. I have only built 1 PC ...

Shoot me an email with what you'd take for both, if interested.

BDillon21

So, got any Linkies you wanna sell??

BDillon21

Well, I'm going for a true peer to peer, though one site could be a server if you will.

There are a couple of reasons I want to do this, first off is video. We create and edit a lot of video. I want to be able to upload video to him, or download something he has saved.
We also have some documents ...

Hello All,

I want to network my PC with a friends over the Internet, using god encryption (IPSEC) if possible.

I set up VPNs all the time, but I have never done this type of VPN in the home before, therefore I really have no idea what's out there.

I wan't an always on tunnel that is transparent ...

Routers are made to segment a network, meaning they break it in to smaller, more managable segments. They also reduce the amount of broadcast traffic in a large LAN. The most important thing for the home user is they use NAT.

Anyway, ALL routers behind a gateway (the one connected to the Internet ...

BDillon21

I don't know if this is the best solution or not, someone here will probably have something better, but you could edit the RWIN and MTU values of your registry to slow your connection down.

Here is a LINK
that has some programs that help you edit those settings in your registry. I recommend ...

Really, throughout all of this, that was the only point I was trying to make about static routing.

Never really meant to start a flame war out of it.

Only point I want to make is that static routing would need updated on either end each time their lease expired, which seems like a lot of hassle ...

BDillon21

I don't need to try your suggestion Old Fart. Regardless if it does work or not it's only a temporary fix and not a solution to the problem.

What happens when a week later he wants to transfer more files? Set up another static route? Seems like a lot of work to keep going through over and over ...

BDillon21

Hehe, BDillon, I thought your posts might be thinly veiled humor, but you removed all doubt with that statement.

Nope, no humor involved in that at all (at least not intentionally.)
After looking in to a little it seems as though getting two clients with routers to connect to each other via AIM ...

BDillon21

Hmmm... This is really bothering me.

First off, when the clients are set to obtain IP automatically, what IP do they get when they reboot?

Set a client to obtain IP automatically, disable WINS, obtain DNS automatically, etc, etc.
Reboot that client and let me know what IP it gets. On Win2k or XP ...

BDillon21

Because you don't have things like a security boundary, a central point of administration, etc.

I also thing StoneCat is on the right track with the SID thing.
Look in active directory users and computers and see if there is computer account listed for that machine. If so, delete it.

I would ...

BDillon21

OK, do any of the hard wired computers get an IP address via DHCP?

Also, how far away are the PCs from the access point?
Are they on different levels?
Is it in a house or building?

Do you have turbo mode enabled?
Are you still having connection problems?

If you are getting a weak connection ...

BDillon21

OK. On your setup, DHCP is actually handed down from your router and not your WAP. Make sure DHCP on the router is enabled and that the WAP knows what the routers IP is (it goes in the default gateway field in case you didn't know.)

BDillon21

Ah, I did not realize you were having problems making it work, I thought you were just wondering what these fields were for. I should have read your original post more thoroughly. Which model Dlink (WAP and card) do you have? Also, which ISP are you using. If we knew this we could be of more help ...

BDillon21

I have had this problem a couple of times myself. First off, check event viewer on your DC. In my caes there was info there that helped me out.

Also, which way, or how are you going about adding the computer to the domain? Are you doing it through network ID or just going in and switching it from ...

BDillon21

Yeah, your WAP owners manual will cover how to set up multiple WAPs in your LAN.

There were also a few sites I used to know that covered how to make homemade antennas for your WAP. One of them used a pringles can that seemed to work really well.

You can buy WAP antennas on the Internet as well ...

BDillon21

Boy you have a lot of questions!!

I could sit here and answer them all, but they are all covered, with the excpetion of one I couldn't find, in the owners manual. If you don't have one, you can go to dlink.com and download the manual for the model you have.

The ddns are, which I didn't see covered ...

BDillon21

I have spent a little time researching this and I haven't came up with anything. I read somewhere to enable port triggering so you may want to try that.

Everywhere I read it says AIM uses port 5190 but can be other ports as well. You could try a packet sniffer or a firewall program and see if there ...

BDillon21

Typically, a router will act as a firewall by dropping requests from the outside that weren't initiated from the inside first. You need to tell the router that you want all incoming traffic on port 21 to go tou your FTP servers IP.

I don't know how much help I can be but in your router setup you ...
