 | I don't see a question there? My thoughts on whether or not to scrap old drives.... 1) If you have the cash, you can buy new, large drives with much for onboard cache to replace older units. 2) IF you don't have the cash, running drives in a raid array …  |

| | Agreed that this is very subjective. Python is my choice whenever I'm looking for something more than simple backups or file manipulation. HTMLperson5 is correct in that you want to stick with python 2.7. BEst thing about python are the libraries of add-ins. Whatever problem you are looking to solve, …  |
| | To clarify: By 'rendering laptop' do you mean the actual rendering process or just displaying the images during build and manipulation? If by 'rendering' you actually mean rendering, then don't do it on a laptop. Rendering should always (if at all possiable) be done on another host or a render … |
 | Perhaps some of the tracks in iTunes are WMV. when tranferring to the ipod, IIRC you are prompted to convert WMV to another format, if you don't, the tracks aren't transferred. At least that's how it works on my older gen ipod.  |
| | For SQL I usually back up to a local folder using SQL's tools. I then run a scheduled task to syncronize the backups using ROBOCOPY to a remove host. For a monthly, I FTP a copy of a FULL SQL backup offsite to a VPS running out of state. |
 | The servers need physical conenctivity. I am assuming the 2 hosts each have internet conenctivity only. Is that correct? How do they connect to the internet? What equipment to you have to work with? Do they have static, public ips? What do you expect these servers to do with each …  |
 | Sounds like the OP is after an itunes replacement, not just a media player. VLC is the best player for a PC regardless of OS. It plays anything. However it will not manage your media like itunes, nor will it connect to various 'stores'. The problem with the ipods is … |
 | Re: stucked Not sure what you are asking here. The 'internet' is the medium through which data traffic propagates. Emails messages are sent from one email server to another. |
| | You can download the service pack on another machine. Search windows web site for the Service Pack Administrative installer. Instead of a web download, you'll get a very large executable that will install the SP.  |
 | I'll offer this suggestion. Load the application into a Virtual Machine with no outbound connectivity to the public web. This way you can analyze the app without risk of data exposure. Or if you have the software available, you can load it in a sandbox (i.e. Avast offers this IIRC).  |
 | I'm just curious and I have to ask. What is the purpose of changing a docx to a gif? For display on a site? |
| | I would say to start with 'bridged'. That will make the VM appear to be directly connected to your internal network. Does your network have DHCP off of a router or other device? Or are you assigning IP addresses manually? If it is manual, then you need to setup your … |
| | Off the top of my head.... Is this the IPSEC client or the AnyConnect client? Do you have any other VPN clients on that PC? Many times, multiple ipsec clients don't play nice together. Don't enable the network on the VPN software, that will happen when you establish a tunnel..... … |
| | Re: hotmail Start with a reboot. Still bad, try a different browser. If works, go back to 1st browser and clear cache/history, and retry. If fails, try different PC. If different PC works, then go back to yours, and start a virus scan/malware scan. Check the threads for Malware bytes and hijackthis …  |
| | You should also take a good look at Linux Mint. Latest version is based off ubuntu 12.04 desktop but gives you a more 'classic' GUI instead of the ubuntu garbage that is loaded by default now.  |
| | Check to make sure you only have 1 vss writer on the server: "vssadmin list writers" Multiple writers sometimes cause issues. You could try a full VSS reset: net stop "System Event Notification Service" net stop "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" net stop "COM+ Event System" net stop "Microsoft Software Shadow … |
 | > Marketers and sales teams need to explain the upside of such action. And "IT needs to proactively court those that are building the new business winners," Gardner added. WTF? Marketers and Sales Teams have NO BUSINESS telling IT what tech they need to implement. Anytime a marketer has ever … |
| | What I would do: 1 - remove all non essential devices. Pull all addon cards, cdrom, anything that draws power. 2 - check to make sure all fans are turning 3 - Did you use heatsink compound when installing the heat sink/fan on the processor? You should 4 - Check … |
| | I agree with JorgeM. You need to ID the traffic 1st to find a solution. Rate limiting certain high volume sites is a good idea. You don't want 50 people all streaming hulu at the same time. Also, installation and use of a caching proxy might be something to consider. … |
| | For item #2, every MS server has RDP enabled for admin that allows you to use remote desktop to access ther server with the admin account. > mail.serverdomainname.com is a DNS entry that most likely resolves to 98.23.60.100. Either entry will get you to the same host. If you don't … |
 | If it is a personal project.... no one will care. If you are designing a new device, the infrared components were probably licensed from a 3rd party manufacturer anyway. Once you identify the part, you can always go to that manufacturer and sign your own agreement for use of their … |
 | This depends on your type of installation. Many cable companies and some fiber installs utilize shared bandwidth into an area. Imaging a 10 meg pipe into your apartment building (it's not really like this but just for explanations sake). If you are the only person in the building using the … |
| | With LAptops on a Domain, the user can still sign into the domain using 'cached user credentials'. So once the user signs into the domain and the profile is created in the Users folder, you can unplug the laptop from the domain, reboot, then at the signon screen you can … |
| | I would say no. What keeps 'files' in a directory isn't the location of the files on disk, but rather the filesystem pointers that arrange files in the structered visual order. The defragmentation softwares out there would only make the files contiguous. I've never heard of one that will arrange … |
| | Re: Set a netmask You wouldn't need to use the route command on a host unless there is more than 1 gateway on the subnet and the host must determine what gateway to use for what destination subnet. Usually, all traffic for hosts that are not on your same subnet would be sent to … |
| | My 2 cents on #3... homemade cables will always have a much higher chance of errors then pre-fab'd cables. Plus since plre-fab cables can be had fow a few dollars, it usually makes more sence to buy them premade than to have you $50 per hour person sit there and … |
| | 1) 4 hour, onsite replacement service 2) Quality parts - especially drives 3) redundant power. |
| | Instead of hotspot shield, try Riseup instead. Also, choose a vpn provider carefully. Make sure to find one that doen't keep logs of connections for extended periods. http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/ |
| | Fail2Ban gets my vote also. We use it on every server installation. It will watch for auth failures. AFter a certain number of failures you can block the source IP for a set time or forever. For me, I usually do 5 missed auths gets you a 20 minute ban. … |
| | So, I am a novice with python. I'm trying to teach myself python just to expand my skills. I gave myself a simple challenge and I need some guidance here on how to get it done. The goal is to read in a dhcpd leases file, read through the lease …  |
| | I was thrown into the fire so to speak. I took a position with a company as the network engineer but was quickly asked to 'look at' an apache error. I gave it a shot and it took off from there. |
| | Check your device manager. Right click My Computer - Manage computer - device manager. If you see any yellow symbols on the devices, then it is most likely missing a driver. If you have your laptop/pc model. You can go to the site for support and download the latest drivers … |

 | I use nmap for all scanning needs. Works well in windows and linux. [url]http://nmap.org/[/url] |
| | Re: dns Clients do not need to be domain members to do dns lookups. what ITG is saying is you need to make sure that the IP address of the DNS server is listed as the client's DNS server IP. You check this with IPCONFIG /ALL at the sommand prompt. Next is … |
| | If you ask 5 people, you'll probably get 5 answers. I use Avast on my laptop. Its free and works well for me. That's my 2 cents. |

 | My suggestion: Turn off DHCP and DNS on the router. On the server, enable DHCP and DNS services. Configure DHCP with your ip scope assigning the router ip, dns ip (make this the 2k3 server), and wins options 44 2k3ip and 46 0x8 for hybrid. Configure the DNS with a … |

| | >>How did this IT person explain that a person could connect back to the work network through a public wifi? I think he meant that he wanted to take a router and connect it downstream from the public wifi router. So that his wan port is connected to the public … |
| | Re: Download Speed Your DL speed is usually going to be measures in bits, not bytes. So a 52 Kb/s is 6.5 kB/s. Lets make sure we have the measurements correct here. To verify your connection, use speedtest.net or any online speed testing tool. Make sure you are the only user of the … |
| | When you plug in the touch, is it recognized as a usb drive? Does windows show "1 new device connected"? Or is it just not showing up in itunes? Have you tried connecting the ipod touch on another PC running itunes? |

| | Re: Graphic help What are the minimum requirements on the 'Grand Chase' game? Does the new PC meet these. So you have a VGA vid card, but what kind is it? Do you have the model? If you are jut short a driver, the manufacturer site should provide the download for you.  |
| | Well if hotspot shield caused it to break, uninstall the app and see if you get a working system back. Do you have any other vpn clients on that machine? |
