That seems like a lot of routers/modems. Are these rooms huge?

Controlling access to wifi is easy enough with radius on the backend, many wifi portals also offer this type of service.

Have you considered bringing in a contractor to set this up for you....

Using VLC, it can boost volume 200% of original. I've had to use that often.
In Media Player, you can enable the equalizer then jack all the controls up to 90%.... might be a bit static like, but you'll get more volume.

"sudo umount /dev/sdc1 /media/Archive/
At this moment all files inside of the /media/Archive/ gone "

Well yes.... all files are gone because you just unmounted the drive. The drive is still on the system, just not mounted so it will still show in 'df'.

@rubberman... Would this work for a USB/external disk. I've always used UID for USB drives since the dive may get plugged into a different USB and perhaps get a different sd#. And yes if you clone, the UID will change... but dude, how often are you cloning your drives?

You need GPT and NTFS.... if it's just going to be used for Redhat, then go ext4.

To mount automatically on each boot, use /etc/fstab to mount the drive via UID.

I would not recommend splitting a cable and running 2 pair to the bungalow for Ethernet if you want to get max speed and reliability. You certainly could, but it would not be to spec.

As long and you get the strongly insulated cable, it really doesn't matter where you run it... however I will remind you that critters, especially rats, will eat the insulation. So if it were me, I'd choose to run it under the archway. IF you want to go along the ground, then 1/2" PVC is a good idea.

If you have an archway between the 2, running a wire over or along the underside is preferrable to digging a 4 meter trench. Your back will thank you.

I asked the distance just to be sure you weren't exceeding the specs for distance.

How far of a run would it be from house to bungalow?

I've done this before. I wired my shed to my house for ethernet and did exactly what you describe.... just dug a shallow trench and piped two ethernet cat 5 through a PVC. I added an S curve at each end, filled the end with sealing foam. I ran 2 cables, just because I wanted a backup and since I had the extra cable... no reason not to do it. Sealed it to keep out bus and water at the shed side... the house side ran up the wall and into the soffit space.

FYI, the 20' trench took longer to dig than anything else... and I was exausted when done.

Rubberman is correct.

On the 2011, 13" macs, you can remove the bottom by unscrewing the tiny screws along the base plate. There are 2 sizes of screws, so keep careful note of what size screw came out of what hole. Pull the cover off with gentle force...use a flat head screwdriver to wedge the cover off. There will be sticky stuff holding it down. Clean the fans of dust then put it all back together.

Seems like a lot of space for windows system.
Try the following tools. I use them myself frequently. It will give you information and the ability to clear space.

WinDirStat - This will scan the disk and visually show you a representation of file sizes and locations.

CCleaner - This will scan your disk and identify files that can usually be removed (e.g. temp folder files, large downloads). Double check what you will clean up before using it, IE history and cached PWs can be on the list for example.

You could just run it on the Mac side. Why the need for virtual windows?

Confirmed it's down for me too.
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
Trying 94.142.241.111
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable

Just give it time and see if it comes back up.

It's all about automating how switches talk to each other. I'm not personally a 'fan' of letting networks do this type of thing. I mean, letting it auto detect duplexing and speed is one thing, but letting the switches determine what ports will trunk seems kindof useless and can be a bit dangerous.

For the novice, i suppose it can help with setting up trunking.... but seriously, If you can't design and manage your inter-switch trunks, you probably shouldn't be doing this job in the 1st place.

I might be a little old-school, but I like to set my networks up manually, and turn off this extra auto discovery stuff that cisco has inplemented. I like to know exactly where my switches trunk, over what ports, what VLANS are allowed over tunks, etc...

There is usually 1 gateway per subnet.

When a machine wants to communicate with an IP address that does not reside in a directly connected subnet (an ip outside it's subnet), then the traffic is sent to the default gateway. The GW must be in the same subnet as the machine since the traffic is sent via layer 2 to the GW mac address.

So, each of your subnets would have 1 gateway:
**192.168.1.0/27 GW: 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.32/27 GW: 192.168.1.33 **

Gateways are assigned to machines in the subnet via DHCP or statically within the network config.

Now on the router, the concept is pretty much the same.
Run 'SHOW IP ROUTE" to see the current routing table.

There would be a 'C' for each directly connected subnet. The gateway of the router is the 'Gateway of last resort" with can also be identified as a route for destination 0.0.0.0/0. The gateway for these is, essentially, your router's default gateway..... that is the device for the traffic that does not fall within any other location in the routing table. This GW is usually your ISP's router IP. You would need to setup 1 interface for the ISP router network.

How are you going to assign subnets to the Layer 2 switches? If they are layer 3 switches, then keep the /24 subnet on the router and connected switchports, then assign any subnet you want behind each of the 3 switches.

Your PST file is obviously corrupt. If you have a backup, load it. Otherwise you can try some of the PST repair utilities that have been mentioned in earlier threads.

Can you ping the gateway?
Is it a hub or a switch?
Is it managed at all?

You know that you don't just copy a pst into the folder, you need to tell outlook to load the pst ... Tools -> Account Settings -> Data Files . Then you give outlook the location of the pst file.

Sounds to me like it may be trying to dhcp an addresson eth0 and waiting to timeout...

Are you seriously asking for help in setting up Email spam?

The lag will not come from your internal network. The lag is produced when your traffic hops around the internet through other comanies' routers. Traffic to your gateway will almost always be <10ms. It's only when your traffic leaves your network, do you get longer delays.

If you are looking for better gaming... you'll have to get a house closer to where the game servers are located.

Remember, you are limited by your ISP's bandwidth. IF you have a 20 Mbps down connection, that is slower than current wifi and definately slower than 100 or 1000 Mbps of an ethernet connection. There would be no difference when using the PS4 on internet traffic. You would see a difference inside the network when you get device to device communications like when you send files from PC to PC, but won't matter for the PS4.

how are you testing this? You do know if you are pinging the interface, the firewall will drop the packets....

We would need lots more information.

I think he means can a PC be joined to a network automatically.

There are ways to automate the process through pre built images, but unless you are deploying many machines per day or have machines all over the country, it is really much easier just to pop in and id/pw to join a pc to a domain.

IN linux, KVM, XEN, and ProxMox are good solutions. We've used Proxmox for years here and it has really matured. There are still issues, especially if the host or shared storage crash... it can lead to corrupt drives. However, a daily snapshot helps alleviate any failures.

The real issue with VMWare is the price. IMHO if you want high uptime with a tech support team to back you up for mission critical VMs, then look at vmware. If you need test labs, local hosts, or other hosts that you can live without for an hour or 2 during 'issues', then PRoxmox may help you.

You can't change your home subnet to match your office without new code to nat one or both sides before the crypto map evaluates the traffic.

From the customer side with a 192.168.20.0 subnet, you can't add a crypto for 192.168.0.0, that would cause problems.

What you could do is change your home network to a 192.168.11.0/24 leaving the office network at 192.168.10.0/24. From the client side, change the crypto map from 192.168.10.0/24 to 192.168.10.0/23 which would encrypt and tunnel both networks.

Your office vpn would need to change your home ACL from 192.168.5.0 to 192.168.11.0/24

Your Home vpn would need to encrypt traffic for 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.20.0/24

This is not the only way of doing it, but it is clean, easy to troubleshoot, involves no pre encryption NAT (yuch anyway), and is the smallest config change on the client side that I can think of.

It would not work like this.

First, if your customer won't allow it, should you really be doing this???

Use a jump host in your office. From any PC you can use something as simple a teamviewer to access a pc in your office which would then have access over VPN to your customer.

Or use a jump host. SSH to a host in your office, then ssh to the hosts at your customer site.

Typical hub and spoke VPN model.

Your office is the hub with the 2 b2b VPN tunnels terminated to it.

The trick to getting your home office to speak with the customer office is to have the customer's subnets included in your home office crypto maps for encapsulation. And vice versa, your customer's site must have your home office's subnet in it's tunnel spec so that packets from the customer site are encrypted over the b2b tunnel as well.

There is no routing involved here and the whole system would work based on the crypto map matches at each location's perimeter endpoints.

I've done these types of setups alot. It's not complicated until you run into issues with duplicate subnets at remote sites. If your home office, office, and customer office all use unique subnetting schemes, it's a snap. Otherwise you need to worry about natting the traffic before crypto map encapsulation.

Not sure what issue you are seeing... In 2008 and 2013 servers, I can use the FILTER option off the context or main menu and enter any text, including text in the description. I do this all the time to find user failed logon attempts... I just enter the user ID that I would find in the description.

Is that not what you want?

There are USB adapters for MAC that will support that resolution. If those monitors support displayport, then try this one: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-External-Adapter-USB32DPPRO/dp/B008CXFM64

If you want your 1 pc to be highest priority over everything else.

Enter Your PC's MAC address or if it has a static IP, you can use that too.

In the lower section set Precedence remarking to 5 (don't use 6 or 7 here) and set the Queue to high.

'cd \progra~1' works as well. You can also type cd \progra then hit the TAB key to autofill the rest.

I had the same type of issue. Kali runs on 3.7. I run kali in Virtual Box but the repositories lack a headers package. Without that, I can't install the VBox tools. I thought about recompiling the kernel, but the repos also lack any kernel-package. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could jump in on this.

We could start with some information:

Run 'ipconfig /all' from each windows host.
Run ifconfig from the MAC.
From the Win machines, are you using ICS (internet connection sharing)

Rubberman is correct in that your FQDN may not be a .com. Looks like you have a co.za as the root.

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) does use the format of server.domain.com.

Whatever you enter here should have a cooresponding A record in your DNS nameserver's zone.

TCPIP suite of protocols is built using the OSI model. Your question makes no sense.

This sounds like homework....

Well your hosts file should be good after that.... did you check your DNS A record?

and also that there is a correct 'A' entry for the domain in the zone file.

The OSI model is used everywhere network communication takes place.... NEtwork communication doesn't happen without adherence to those standards.

In line 9, you have a 'hostnamehere' name. Make sure that name is also added to line 3 for 127.0.0.1.

Could you post your /etc/hosts here (just xx out a piece of the IP).

Somehow - Jorge always beats me to the answers.... OP, do follow JorgeM's post, it's spot on.

when the internet guy came he checked my local area connection and said its having the fault where without connection, the packets were being sent and again after connecting the cable, it started sending but have not received any packets.

This makes no sense to me. If you plug in a provided cable, and the 'cable guy' tells you you are sending but not receiving.... it's his problem. They only thing to do is test with another PC. If it also fails in the same way, call the 'guy' and complain.

Seriously... If IPCONFIG.EXE is missing, just copy it over from another winodws system.

Nope.

If you want to retain mail on the server, make sure that you don't have the "delete mail on server when I delete it here" selected, and just delete the mail from outlook's inbox once it's done syncing.

You connect with no modem or router? Unlikely. You must have a device to decode the signal and give you a RJ 45 ethernet connection.

How do you connect? Is it an always on connection?
Your pc will always send packets, how do you know it's sending them? wireshark?

Do you have a single network card in the system? How are you on a local network and on a dedicated broadband at the same time then?

I'm sure you are leaving alot out of the description.

Circumventing your school policies is kinda shady, dontcha think. Best just to ask him.
