I have found plenty of external harddrives from various manf. that claim to spin the drive down during inactivity.. I'm just not sure if that is regulated by an OS driver/utility/etc., or if it is integrated into the PCB in the enclosure itself.
Most of the drive enclosures I have found that are highly rated include fans, can be setup as hot-swapable, etc. etc. but I can't seem to find information if the control board in the enclosure performs spindown of the drive when not in use. I would like this to be a function of the external...
If this is a database server I would go with RAID 10 (aka RAID 1+0) for performance reasons. Also, you will want to make sure if it is available to utilize separate scsi channels for the RAID1 members.
I have an Epox EP-8KHAL AMD Athlon 1600+ with 512 MB 2100 CL 2.5 DDR Crucial Ram.
I am wanting to spend no more than $100. I currently have a Radeon LE (32DDR).
Thanks for the suggestions.
Well, I guess I am assuming that I would need the same router on both sides? The Sonicwall pro 200 looks like what most people are suggesting. Not quite out of my budget. I was hoping for something around $500 per LAN. But I guess you get what you pay for!
All good information (not a suggestion to stop or anything)!! Thanks!
Bart, site B is really going to have 1 active user hitting the main LAN. Is DSL still going to pose a problem? Also, the majority of the work isn't going to be fileserving.. but our client-server backoffice program, Great...
Do the SonicWall appliances allow the traffic to split depending on destination (www vs. LAN)? Or would all traffic from the fullfillment office go through the VPN tunnel to the main office and out from there? It seems silly to do it that way if I am not wanting to setup a single point of web...
Okay any hardware/software advice would be much appreciated. I know a tad about VPN's etc but have never set one up. I work for a small company with ~ 15 employees. We are getting ready to split up our operations to have a Retail/Main offices and Shipping/Recieving/Fullfillment in another...
According to Microsoft the 604/614+ are not supported. I read a post from DlinkSupport where they mentioned that they were doing Beta testing at Redmond and the routers do work with Xbox Live.
Can anyone confirm this? I would like to know before my ability to take my 604 back to BestBuy runs...
I just recently purchased the D-link DI-604. I switched out my 5port 10B-T hub and powercycled my cable modem and in less than 2 minutes was browsing the web on all my pcs in my home LAN. I wouldn't Highly recommend this router for it's features (although they are nice..). I would recommend...
Okay, I just recently purchased the very inexpensive D-Link 604. I did so 100% because of its price. It was < $30 at BestBuy (after rebate). I was also looking at the linksys BEFSX41 which has true VPN & DMZ but cost 3x as much. I decided to save the extra money and am happy with my choice...

Hi I have been out of the market for a pc's for over a year now. I have seriously thought about Dell & Gateway but I am not impressed with the upgrade-ability of them. Plus they are pretty much married to Intel.
I am looking for a very stable platform for win2k or XP Pro. The pc's will be in...
Perhaps some sub-atomic space particles have wreaked havok on the cat5's copper sub-dermal layer's atom spacer property arrangement thing-a-ma-jig.
Dude, just get try a new cable.
... and you may or may not be getting a Dell.
This is just a simple case of you running a DNS server. When you register your domain, you can register name servers too. The name server is just a DNS server. You specify the IP address of your name server and volia' Your DNS servers contain your namespace. I've even seen (don't really...
Not entirely sure if this is correct but "felt" right.
If the server was sharing multiple duties then a single client could tie up more than one connection. I.E. a file is being shared of the HD at the same time it is being printed to a shared printer.
Cable (just like most asynchronous signals) does not PUSH data as much as it PULLS. Therefore when you (clinet) connect to a friends FTP server (server) they are having to PUSH data to your pc. They are usually around 128Kbps (kilo-BITS) which means you should expect to receive about 80% of...
There are tools (handheld devices) that will monitor switched networks. You have to plug them into the segment that you want to analyze (server/router/etc). I'm poor and have never used them. But this stuff does exist.
<< Where did you get the DSl for jusy $35. >>
That is the question we must all ask JackMDS!! The DSL I quoted is $70/mth which had a $125 set-up fee. (Granted I got this installed almost 1.5 years ago! I wish my cable provider would un-cap their speeds.. the user base here is not very...
Are you wanting to tap the LAN and find out which pc (IP) is utilizing the majority of the bandwidth? There are several packages out there to do that but most are enterprise network monitoring programs that are $$$$.
*Actually*
Generally the answer is NO. Read this article. One of the main reasons people would say that yes cable is better is due to the price/performance issue.
Usually cable companies wave set-up fees etc. and monthly rates are lower. I have had zero disconnects from DSL at work and I...
Okay one more person to add to this confusion embeded thread!
First I think you would be able to ask the questions you are needing answered in a way that people would be able to understand if you read a little bit. Try http://www.practicallynetworked.com and the Anandtech Networking FAQ's. My...
Thanks for the reply Scott,
I REALLY appreciate your candor.
But I hate to say this... but I've done all that. This isn't for the home. It is for a small buisness. The consultants we used came in and whipped up an e-commerce system set-up our servers loaded up computers with software we...

<< you could always run a wire to her place. that'll also give you a good excuse to go to her place. >>
Forget all of that.. just tell her you're moving in!!
I would suggest against running the wire though really. We ran 10bT for about 40 feet underground in a pvc pipe and lightning still...
I will be setting up an e-commerce storefront. I have thought about outsourcing the hosting but like all the features of being able to tie in with my existing accounting information which is in-house. Does anyone have any links or book recommendations for setting up something like this...
I don't believe you can do the old mutli-homed server to allow private IP addresses to access the internet. I mean if you set it up as a router and it does not do NAT the I guess theoretically your packets will go out from the private wkstn nic through the private nic on the server routed out...
I haven't tried it.. but I don't see why you couldn't change the change the store folder on Computer B (under tools->options->maintenance tab->store folder to a shared drive from computer A. Should (might) work. Granted Computer A would always need to be on.
Okay stupid question.. but is your dsl/cable modem plugged into this to share the internet connection? You know those only operate at 10Mb right? Do the rest of the ports on this autonegotiate regardless of the uplink port ? I dunno.. I don't have one of this boogers.
Of Course! That is what you have to do when you want to host your own e-mail servers!!
There is NO difference in the way things are done at Big Corp X than at your home! There are even services out that don't require you to have static IP's to host your own domain. You dl a client app that...
I am by far an electrical engineer (okay I'm a computer systems engineer). My guess is that the really smart people that set-up standards and allocate frequency ranges keep things in check. HOWEVER, noise & interference does happen and the answer is yes it could. But I wouldn't worry about...
Okay okay, I have to step in here!
No! Visio doesn't map networks automatically. Since no one seems to want to follow the link given I will paraphrase,

Sarcasm is hard to display in these posts.
So my previous post about renumber my *entire* 10.0.0.x subnet was not suppossed to be taken literally.
Sorry for any confusion I might have caused.
I guess I should have just said, " You can use 0 in any octet but the first & last"
From my knowledge & experience I will continue to get the same IP when my DHCP lease expires. If I shut my computer down and start it back up.. 99.999% I get the pre-shutdown IP. If it is off for 2+ days I find 75% of the time my IP doesn't get changed. Now, I have cable with it uplinked to...
<< I prefer the win9x method where you set a user-less password, >>

Confused... Isn't that basically what win9x was doing? Allowing a "guest" connection?
