Hi all

Just got myself a nice little HP Procurve 1810G-24 for use at home, and to play with VLANs some more.

my network looks kinda like this...

IPCop -- green -- on my VLAN2
\_orange -- on my VLAN3

Now, I have my DHCP on my green and not on my DMZ, my 1st 12 ports are VLAN2 from my green on ...

caveman

Ok, a bit long winded but bear with me...

I have one of those HDD media players the you plug into your TV and watch stuff you`ve loaded onto the HDD. The Media Player has a LAN port.

I`ve tried a few times to get stuff through the LAN off my server but never had any joy until now.

My network is ...

caveman

Righty, I`ve been using IPCop and Freenas flawlessly for ages, until recently.

I`m running low on free space on some of my network shares so thought I`d add a new 400GB Seagate into the mix to lighten things up a little.

I installed it but whenever I had this `new` drive in the Freenas box all my ...

caveman

OK, well I went for the good old install over the install option!

I know it`s not ideal but it`s only short term (maybe a week or 2)

The good news is, my drives seem ok....well so far anyway. i`m trying to restore to a backup I made a couple months back but for some reason the recovery environment ...

caveman

Hmmmmmm..........

It SEEMS I`m a complete tit!

I`m just sitting here with my head in my hands and thought to myself "why don`t I use the original WinXP with SP2 disc that came from Dell to get to the recovery console" So I did, and I`m in!!

I had a sneaking idea it was to do with the ...

caveman

Errrrm, I don`t think I worded that very well. :o :o

The stuff is still there on my D: drive it still works, or rather it did when the system last booted up.

The stuff on my C: drive is also still there, (seen and accessed it all in an external enclosure)

I`ve just been to see a mate of mine and ...

caveman

OK, I have a Dell Dimension E520 which has been fine for years...

All has been fine since I`ve had it, but a few days ago while doing a quite a few things involving my D: drive, I got a delayed write fail and the stuff I was listening to stopped and my D; drive disappeared.

I shut down and checked ...

caveman

Well I can`t see any reason why this won`t work both ways....I got the undeliverable mail notification a few hours later on my Yahoo! email that I used to send tests to my server, obviously because the server did`nt or couldn`t respond.

I`m still playing with the ability one........it`s amazing ...

caveman

Well, I got it....eventually.

It all SEEMED too go well to start with, but as per the others, I can send but not recieve, then when I start mooching about to find out why, It keeps crashing my browser.. in fact browsers!

:mad: :mad: :irate: :irate: why can`t the Ability one be free??? that works ...

caveman

Hmm, I`m still goin....... 73%

Oooh Ooohh 75%

Hope I can make it work when I get it!

caveman

Well, so far The smartermail people need to pull their smarter fingers out and get themselves some smarter bandwidth! :eek:

I mean come on.....24KB/s , to get the 31MB file I`m gonna be using walking sticks by the time I get it! :confused:

Someone remind me again, why do I have 20Mb cable?? :eek ...

caveman

I`ve been playing around with mail servers of late, and have stumbled upon one that was really easy to use, and above all, it worked!

Ability Mail Server is the fella, as found here , and it`s doing quite well!

Now, when I come to the end of the 30 day free trial, I don`t want to do something ...

caveman

Hmmm, any chance of a Hi-res version of that pic??

Pwease??

Fank you!

caveman

Gotta be Blueyonder from Telewest/Virgin Media

20Mb down :D but only 768Kb up :( hey it`s better than it used to be!

Uptime - pretty much 24x7x365, only been down about 3 times in the last 5 years for about 3-5 minutes each, I think that`s pretty good going

Max speed for downloading - Dunno yet ...

caveman

To be honest, you`re not really gonna get that information, not even with some of the really nosey hardcore tracer progs. The best you can hope for is the address/info for their ISP.

Try it on your own IP address and see what you can find out, it won`t be a great deal unless someone`s not doing ...

caveman

U not thought about using one of those InfraRed security illuminators?

Maybe even one of those new-fangled LED ones?

Just a thought!?!?

caveman

Basically, I`ve had a go with it, and found that even with my better half going online more and more, I don`t need Copfilter.

It never found/removed/quarantined anything, and I just don`t think I need it.

I`d prefer to get rid of it altogether rather than to just disable it.

So, how do I go about ...

caveman

Sygate (even tho it`s Symantec now) Personal Firewall is the one for me!

7.5 - 8MB usage and next to no CPU

Never looked back after binning ZA

caveman

Nice bit of kit if the supplied USB cable was longer than 6-7 inches....

NICE!!!!!

Basically I want to swap the head unit in my car out for one of these that are USB enabled so I can load tons of stuff onto this drive and play til my heart`s content.

Apparently these head units require the FAT ...

caveman

I`ve recently acquired one of these from ebay, thought it`d be interesting to play with and with it being a 1U form factor should be pretty neat and tidy. :cool:

Anyway, it arrived this morning and as per the auction, it is indeed new...it`s bloody loud, but it`s new! :eek:

So I connect a ...

caveman

Alrighty then, bit of an update....

Got a replacement KB off ebay and get the same results :eek: :eek: :eek: I am assured that it`s working.

Anyway, stripped down the laptop to it`s component parts and cleaned/checked/reseated everything/anything in sight.

got what i thought was the KB controller ...

caveman

Seems like both from what I can see.....

There`s like a little rubber dome under each key and the scissor springs either side.

I`m just gonna give the ribbon cable a clean with some IPA, I can only do one end as the KB end is bonded to the inside of the KB.

I just dropped Acer a line so I don`t ...

caveman

`s ok, I got it...

I pulled it out and give it all a good clan out with compressed air, still no go except instaed of the four letters, now I only get 2 or none! :wth: :wth: :wth:

Anyways, as for falls, not for a Loooonnnggg time, it`s beena rock solid worker really, it`s had a few bumps once ...

caveman

Well it`s funny you should ask that.... I thought to try it originally but then clean forgot all about it!!!

It works fine with my Logitech USB Keyboard!

Looks like it`s the onboard keyboard that`s ailing then eh!?!?!

Hmmm, wonder how I can look at that then?? Cant` semm to see anything obvious.

caveman

I booted My Laptop last night and got a load of cloured stripes vertically on the screen, re-booted and all was well.....seemingly!?!? :wth: :wth:

Logged into my Email and noticed that my left shift key gives me a . (period) and when I type the first letter of my surname (a "D") I get the period ...

caveman

The 1394 one is indeed a Firewire connection

The NVIDIA nForce MCP networking controller is, or rather sounds like it`s an onboard NIC, Dunno where this stands with what has already been said regarding using a PCI NIC.

caveman

Or buy an enclosure with a really long cable/cables and leave the drive in the freezer while using it!?!!

Should take a bit longer to start warming up /condensing.....

caveman

1st off, background...

Install IPCop with Red and Green interfaces on a machine and all is well.

Got round to installing a 3rd (Orange) interface for a DMZ for my Server/s

Now if for arguments sake Im using 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 addresses in my DHCP range for my Green interface and I set ...

caveman

OK, Amongst other things over the hols, I`ve acquired one of these new fangled DVR`s (DVD recorders with a hard drive in too)

It`s great and all that and it`s gonna be even better when I get my head around this little poser.......

Record stuff from a source to the HDD, fine. Record stuff from a ...

caveman

Recieved my new Dell Dimension e520 Dual Pentium D 3.4Ghz with 2GB RAM. :D :D

Seems to be doing quite well in spite of the fact that the WinXP MCE that it came installed with is a rather large bag of steaming s**t! :mad: :mad:

Been on to Dell more that a few times trying to get them to swap it ...

caveman

Ah right.... well there`s definitely something to do with Snort in IPCop....Under the services tab there`s Intrusion Detection at the bottom and you can enable or disable on red and green (And I assume any other interfaces you may have configured).

I`ve set it to red and green and at thre bottom of ...

caveman

What is it?
What does it do?
How does it work?

And how in gods name do I get it to run in IPCop??

There really doesn`t seem to be any dummies guides to it (hence why i`m struggling) and I`m stuck good and proper!

I found some thing about "editing the url" to include the "oink code" and the ...

caveman

Yes, that`s right, a Ford GT with a Twin Turbo conversion pushing 1012HP and 890-odd ft/lb`s.

The video runs for around 21 minutes, but god, is it worth it.

Apparently he loses a 'little play' with a turbocharged Hyabusa at the end, and decides to order up a ...

caveman

I've run DD-WRT on my wrt54g (actually back to running it that way now)

In the web admin of DD-WRT..there's a checkbox to run it in "Access Point" mode.

Set the LAN IP of your wrt to something in the same range as your IPCop box. For example...if IPCop has an IP of 192.168.1.1 on the green card ...

caveman

OK, the 10K ohm resistor DIDN`T work! LOL :rotfl: :rotfl:

I also tried the password/server role thing and it looked good, until I re-booted and it said "server mode enabled, no keyboard present, enter password" LOL :rotfl:

Hmm, no keyboard? enter password?? how exactly??

Anyway, I`m still open ...

caveman

Well really speaking, I don`t :rotfl: It`s more really for just in case..... just in case it bails on me (unlikely I know) or sometimes after an update there`s a mandatory reboot.

It really is just in case, cuz if I do need a re-boot, I gotta get up into the attic (where the box is) climb over a ...

caveman

Good stuff, if you can dig anything out I`d reaaly appreciate it!

caveman

All I know is it`s a Compaq ENS, one of these (if the pic works...)

http://i8.ebayimg.com/03/i/06/96/7e/c2_1_b.JPG

No idea what board is in it, but it`s running a PIII 533mhz.

Looks weird inside hard drive/floppy drive assembly flip up towards you (when the top`s off) and teh PSU is sort of ...

caveman

Think I`ve got it pretty much set up like that, only I was using the WAN/Cable Modem interface on the router.

That explains a lot!

Ah well!?

Any work arounds for booting without a KB?? there`s no options in the BIOS for it!

caveman

Well I`m having a break from the DD-WRT for now and having anothe rplay with my IPCop....

I snagged one of these off ebay for much cheapness and got it all running fine BUT....

There`s always a but these days!! :rotfl: :D The damn thing won`t boot without a keyboard!

If I take the KB out, I get a ...
