Not sure what the situation is like in the states but I can't buy an AMD video card anywhere in Canada right now. 7950, 7970, R9 280x, R9 290x. Everything is out of stock at all the major online retailers. Anyone know what the hell is going on? Quite frustrating.

So I've attempted to contact HP pre-sales (we are an HP partner) and after 5 idiots that don't know their products, they transferred me to another team which turned out to be fucking CDW in the wrong country. Pretty typical of my experience with HP if you ever need to ask a question more...

I've never really utilized WSUS in my environments much as I always found it to be an administration nightmare. We are getting to the size where I'd really like to cut down our bandwidth useage though and looking to implement it. I'm familiar with how it works and how to set it up, but a little...

I figured this was the most appropraite section for this. So it occured to me that I really don't have any regular I.T websites besides HardOCP, and well they don't really cover a lot of the industry. What news sources do you guys use? Looking for some of the best of the best to stay current...

So we have primarily been a Hyper-V shop but I'm looking into the vSphere option. I have experience with ESXi but not a lot on the clustering side. If I'm interupting the documentation I'm reading correctly I'm seeing (what I consider) a HUGE downfall for vSphere when pitted against Hyper-V R2...

We use a couple of 2910al ProCurves for our core switching/routing then we have a few 2626 access switches. Despite allocating adequate ports in our new building, I'm still having a problem with users plugging in shitty little D-Link 5 port hubs at there desk. Looking for some suggestions...

Can anyone comment on my temperatures? Do they look ok?

This is something I've been battling over for some time now. We've really been pushing ESX / Hyper-V clusters as of late which obviuslly rey on shared storage. We've been using HP's MSA line of SAN's as we don't deal with massive companies. My question shouldn't be to SAN specific though. There...

I have a /28 block on FastEthernet0. I want to do NAT overload for Internal Subnet #1 using WAN IP #1. NAT overload Internal Subnet #2 using WAN IP #2 etc etc. Normally I would do the following. Problem being is it NAT's to the default interface IP and not one of the additionl ones I want to...

I'm looking to enable Netflow on some our Cisco devices. Wondering if anyone could chime in with their experience on Reporting software and what their personal preference is. Seems to be quite a few commerical and free options. Hoping to get some recommendations from first hand experience since...

Recently upgraded on of our ASA's to 8.3 which as may know drastically changed the way NAT works. I've got the hand of it for the most part except for 1 annoyance. The code is below and everything works. What I've discovered though is you cannot have more than 1 NAT rule per object. As you can...

I have a Logitech Performance MX and Steelseries Mousepad. From day one I've noticed something rather odd and annoying. I should mention it is the same on all surfaces not just the Steelseries. My horizontal movement, I can flick my wrist and go from one side of a 24" 1920 res monitor no...

For my new build I am using a OCZ Vertex 2 E 120Gb for my OS drive. I have 2 X 1TB in Raid 0 for Storage. I still have a 140Gb Velociraptor left that use to be my old System drive. Can anyone think of a good reason to use this in the new system? All my apps etc will fit on the SSD and I...

I have a ASUS P5Q-E P45 with 2 drive in Raid 0 on the ICHR10 controller. I have a new system which is a ASUS P6T X58. Anyone know if I can just enable RAID on the X58 then plug the drives in and it will detect the Raid 0 array? I've heard that has worked for some people. Would definitely be...

So I'm building a long overdue new system. AMD 890FX based. I'm also finally switching to SSD. I had the Corsair Force 120 all picked out reay to go. Seems to be a great performer. Then I read that the AMD AHCI driver still doesn't support TRIM (why am I not suprised?). What do you guys...

I've been out of the hardware scene for quite awhile. Looking into a 890GX based Motherboard with onboard Radeon 4200. I'll be using a Radeon 5xxx for my main card. My question is can I use both the onboard and PCI-E 5xxx at the same time since I have 4 monitors? In the past this wasn't...

I'm waiting on the Interconnect kit, but I'm going to have two ProCurve 2910al's connected together with a 10GbE Interconnect Kit. I've read over all the PDF's and haven't found the answer I'm looking for. From the software side of things do they just show up as another port? I need to create...

I'm aware of the differences in Hyper-V Virtual Switches (External, Internal, Private). What I am not clear on is how VM to VM traffic on the same HyperVisor is handled through an 'External' V-Switch. For instance. VM #1 Hosted on Parent Hypervisor1 VM #2 Hosted on Parent Hypervisor1 Both have...

Ever since updating to the latest ATi drivers for my HD4850 on Win7 Ultimate I've been unable to load Windows Media Center. I've reloaded numerous times and tried everything I can think of. They've obviouslly broken something. Anyone have any ideas as I'm fresh out.

Anyone know much about Cisco IPSEC VPN Filters? They don't appear to work like a regular ACL. First of all I have the VPN Filter assigned and working. From what I can gather the ACL's are bi-directional with only one ACE entry. What I'm noticing though is Deny doesn't seem to take precedence...

Ever since I switched to Windows 7 I notice a never ending list of directories on the root of my C:\ drive like 80b269ec710dcddd90 each with a Sandbox subfolder. There is never anything in either of the directories either. I like my clean folder structure. Anyone know what/why they are...

I'm looking for some guidance the best way to accomplish this. Not neccesarily the exact config, just a point in the right direction. Background The reson for the 1811 Router is we have 2 ISP's and I want to utilize Policy Based routing to split services between the two. Something the ASA won't...

Ok my frustration with the IOS firewall is definitiley kicking in. It is I'm sure due to my green nature but still. In the following config, the tunnel comes up, and users on the 192.168.5.0/24 end can connect to everything they need on the 192.168.0.0/24 end. I cannot however access...

I have 6 Cisco 881's I am using at branch offices. I have my config working, and ready to copy it too all devices. Each site is the same config so all I really need to change in the config for each different device is the subnets. There are two things I'm not sure I can statically copy between...

Ok so we're looking for a new option for HO and our few branch offices. I'm racking my brain and just can't decide. I have all the literature and white papers from both companies saying why their product is better. We currently use a SonicWALL Pro 3060 in HO and have had a quite a few issues...

So I'm doing up the Visio Diagrams etc for our new building going up in a few months and wanted to run an idea by you guys. We have two 42U cabinets. One dedicated to switching gear, routers, firewalls, voip gear and the other servers. What I have always hated with our racks is the lack of...
