I use an IP KVM at work. It's made by avocent. Pretty nice unit... Each server gets a dongle that plugs into VGA, PS2/usb. That dongle then plugs into a cat5. This is proprietary CAT5, not switchable. So dedicated CAT5 runs to each dongle. Then your put your IP KVM on the network...

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.

YeOld wins But citrix XenApp is very nice too.

Wireless sucks for gaming. The powerline and coax seem like the best options (assuming that running cat5 is out of the question). With that said, I'm going powerline for my customer based on the fact that it is $80 cheaper and there isn't a coax outlet near both machines. So I'd be stringing...

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, don't put your computer in the DMZ. He was just asking if you had done that.

I am looking at setting up some eOpl in an apartment. What model do you guys recommend? Or what are your experiences with various models? I'm kinda new to the EoPL thing

Mail is designed to get there as soon as it can. I don't know of any sort of delay short of a custom script. Personally, I have our alarms set up with Nagios and for people like you that don't need to be bothered at 3am I have a time window set to only send during certain hours.

If you go the seperate AP route I highly recommend a Netgear ProSafe AP. They support POE so you can put it where there isn't a power cord if you want and they are ROCK solid. I leave them running for years at a time with no reboots required. I can just rely on it to work. When I use regular...

The repeaters are finicky. They only like to repeat certain routers. I've tried repeating some routers and changed it to b,g WEP64,WEP128, WPA/TKIP, etc etc and only very certain combinations work and only with the right hardware. Best of luck, but this repeater stuff is definitely for...

I've had terrible experiences with repeaters. Not that I can't get them to work...but that I can't get them to work reliably. Here's what I'd recommend. Buy a EoPL (ethernet over power line) adapter. Plug one side in by your current router, and another in a far away spot in the house. Then...

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 had nothing but problems when I use a single SSID. 90% of people won't have any problems, but then they'll invite over a friend or family member who is using an old 802.11b based laptop that doesn't roam properly. Then I get a call asking how to make it work and why it doesn't work and...

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...

I was using AVG Free 8.5 on Win7 x64 and had nothing but headaches. I've moved to Avira and it's working great. I'm even contemplating paying the upgrade fee to get rid of the popup advertisement that it shows.
