• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Help Setting Up a Cisco Based LAN

    1. I would avoid the PIX at each site as that's that many more points of Ingress to your network from the Internet to monitor. It's much easier monitoring a single WAN link than it is 4. 2. Typically you're going to run Router-> Switch (assuming you're across WAN links not the Internet...

    Getting Excel to sort IPs correctly

    Pad everything with zeros? Instead of: 10.1.1.1 use 010.001.001.001 (as an extreme example). Depending on your network, you might be able to only pad a single octet- in your list for instance only the last octet needs to be padded out like that.

    Import to KDE mail client?

    Not often one gets to be the sole reply to their own post- so I'll take the opportunity when I have it. Got the export from outlook -> Kontact to work with only minor hoop-jumping-through on my part. 1. On my XP Pro box, I installed thunderbird and imported all my contacts and mail from...

    Import to KDE mail client?

    Okay, I'm currently in the process of ditching my XP box in favor of a linux distro. I've currently installed Kubuntu (AMD64 version) and it's up, running, etc. I've got damned near everything I need for my normal use- the rest I can implement as I need it. The only problem I'm having is...

    My Basement Datacenter (21 Pics)

    I realize I'm a bit late to the party- but I have a question about the CallManager/Unity boxes you're running. I see they're on Dell servers- did Cisco recently change their stance on unsupported platforms? I didn't think you could install CCM or Unity on a Dell server in particular. I...

    Wireless deplyment in a High School

    Those buildings are no fun for wireless. :( Site surveys are your friend. While you folks might have the expertise to install/troubleshoot/maintain etc. Paying an outside vendor to at least get a site survey done will probably by money well invested. They'll have the equipment, time, and...

    Wireless deplyment in a High School

    I agree whole heartedly that if you need to blanket the entire campus in wireless, I would avoid the SOHO stuff. At the same time, if you're looking to merely do a room or two- the SOHO stuff would fullfill that role. Where Wireless is considered a luxury, and not a necessity, the SOHO gear...

    Wireless deplyment in a High School

    Couldn't you use a RADIUS server and have them authenticate against that? If they pass authentication, they get access to all the internals. If it fails/they enter a guest password 'net access only. Also, if you're trying to keep this on the cheap- I'd honestly recommend looking at the...

    Ubuntu MD5 Hashes

    Aaaaand, I'm a tard. :) That's what I get for clicking torrent first and not looking anywhere else I guess. Surprised google crapped out on me though- especially for something that obvious. Thank you very much- hardware is supposed to be delivered today, with luck I'll have a new...

    Ubuntu MD5 Hashes

    So, I snagged the Ubuntu 5.10 DVD (AMD64) release from a torrent last night. I'm getting most of my hardware in the next week or two, and in the interim I figured I'd make sure I got a decent download- verify the MD5 hash of my new .iso against what it's supposed to be! I usually do for this...

    VLAN Trunking: ISL or 802.1Q?

    I'd throw my vote for 802.1Q as well. I'd further mention that with VTP properly configured across all your Cisco switches, you should still be able to have a central point of managment for your VLAN database.

    VOIP (QoS Question)

    Now you just need to get him to tell you which ones! There's a bunch of possible values, most pieces of equipment only use a few however. Then you can use those markings to match different classes of service- like WesM63 mentioned. At least, that's one option. Again, the toshiba engineer...

    VOIP (QoS Question)

    I'd check Toshiba's documentation regarding how it marks its traffic (class of service and/or dscp numbers, etc). After that you should be able to set up a queuing strategy carving out bandwidth for different queues. Not all VoIP manufacturers use the same QoS markings for their traffic, and...

    VOIP (QoS Question)

    Well, I know for any of the VoIP implementations I've done we've used different equipment. The Netscreen isn't going to support QoS markings on an egress basis, meaning all traffic going OUT of the Netscreens are going to get treated equally and possibly hose up voice calls in progress. The...

    G2 Flash Broke - Need Help Choosing a New Digi

    Kind of random, etc. But I have a gently used G5 that I'm looking to sell to finance a new EOS 20D. Drop me a pm or something if interested.
