  1. Yah, portable light oscope is the win. I don't know how many times I bring either that huge case along with the DSO inside, or borrow my coworkers scopemeter, when all I want to know is if there is an actual signal present. I don't even care if its right, just need to know whether or not the device is not sending, or I'm not receiving.

    Although I swear this was much cheaper in kit form, but at this price, I can't lose.

  2. You really ought to recall your login info from cisco. If you have access to IOS images and whatnot that is killer. I struggled for a month trying to find a more current IOS and had to blindly trust some rapidshare post. But I had no choice. Bug identified in the version we were running, Router OOW, boss unwilling to pay the ridiculous service contract, I know noone with IOS image access, and even more unwilling to pay a certed person, or to pay to get me certed.

    QOS is hard, but not impossible to understand. It'll help you in that instance with the cameras. I can help you.

  3. While most of us seem to be trying to figure out how to get the network interfaces up and running and how to press different keys than what to actually do with this thing - this person has managed to get a webserver running just fine on the first-gen Zipit. She's done it since 2005!!!! We are so far behind the curve it isn't funny!

    Let me qualify the above statements by saying I'm VERY far behind as I don't even own one...... Still waiting for the openPandora myself.

  4. The only thing I wonder about is if Nerwin would have to clone the MAC add of the WAN interface. (Being that Comcast is who it is, I wouldn't be surprised)

    I've had that happen both ways believe it or not. At my mother in laws, she MUST have a particular MAC or have them update it. At my place, any MAC works. Different cable networks (physical lines) as its in neighboring municipalities, but both Comcast.

  5. lulz - I actually started working on the config help here when this thread was at just the OP and the next guy :) Good help from the guys above.

    If you want specifics, your gonna have to get more specific.

    You need to use IOS to tell the cisco how to work. It doesn't "just work".

    Specifically:

    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/0 x.x.x.x (the IP on the WAN side)

    ip route x.x.x.x 255.255.255.x FastEthernet0/1 x.x.x.x (first set = LAN subnet, second x = subnet mask of LAN subnet, 3rd set is IP address of interface on FastEthernet0/1)

    This tells the 2811 where everything is, and is the foundation to your router.

    In most cases you will want to specify everything, including what ports are available (meaning source and destination ports, IP addresses, etc), but it seems like you want to use the 2811 like a consumer router - i.e. everything on the LAN subnet is allowed out, and already connected stuff is allowed back in.

    You'll need the following:

    ip nat pool (name_of_pool) x.x.x.x y.y.y.y prefix-length z

    (name is anything, x is WAN IP range start, y is WAN IP range end - can be equal (/31), z is the / length of your address range in total. Most often 31

    ip nat inside source list (ACL#) pool (name_of_pool) overload

    (ACL# is the access list defining local addresses allowed to use this resource), (name_of_pool is the same name as above) overload indicates the type of translation (PAT here)

    access-list (ACL#) permit ip host x.x.x.x any

    (ACL# is the same as above, you make it up - x.x.x.x is the allowed host - use IOS ACL nomenclature to define the ACL)

    Once done, you can do whatever you want from inside and have it work on the outside.

    This is quite helpful:

    Post up the output from

    sh running-config

    if you would (censored of course)

  6. I know I will not quit smoking, however, I can at least switch the addiction to something more healthy.

    Thats dangerous thinking there, especially as teh most convenient and readily available nicotine deliver devices come 20 to a pack at your convenient store for about $5. Usually available 24 hours a day.

    I gotta hand it to you though - its not smoking a cigarette. But I don't think that its any better or more healthy. We can get into quote wars but just because you found a way to deliver nicotine without some of its byproducts doesn't mean it isn't bad to be addicted to nicotine. Look at the folks who dip, and also the folks hooked on nicorette - who also did in fact pick up mouth cancer. No saying if it was the smoking or the pseudodip that did it.

    One of these days you'll start to hate it. For me - that day was when I realized smoking cost more than my car. A few months later and here I am - quit completely.

    I'll leave it there.

    Back to resolutions.

  7. I am gonna quit trying to quit smoking every bloody year. =D

    @shonen - yah, I gave up on giving up smoking quite some time ago. I am however going to give up on analog smoking

    See thats the problem. Everyone thinks there is some device to make it easier, better, faster.

    In reality, the only thing you can do to quit smoking is to stop bringing nicotine into your body. Stop smoking, dipping, chewing, using nicorette, e-cigarettes, whatever. Just don't do it.

    I smoked for 16 years. 30 days ago I just stopped. You go through 3 days of being somewhat uncomfortable, then you realize that life isn't going to end its just you living without smoking.

    The frackin' drug that you've been addicted to tells your body that it can't live without it. And your body believes it! Seriously. Every half hour to 2 hours or so. You re-up on nicotine and reset the clock. Once you start getting low on nicotine your body starts the process of replenishing, forcing you to go suck on the wet end of a burning plant that costs nigh on $5 for a days worth.

    Granted its a useful tool to give up smoking but could you image the odd looks you would get in the street puffing on that thing?

    Thats the other problem. It's not a useful tool to give up smoking. It IS a useful tool to become hooked on that thing, just like folks get hooked on nicorette, the patch, lozenge, etc. They are called crutch devices. Seriously the best way to quit is to just quit, and avoid being dragged through withdrawals over and over again. Just get it all over with in one fell swoop like a band-aid - RIGHT OFF@!@!

    As for my resolutions, I'm no sheep. But my gf and I intend to stop being fatasses this year.

  8. I lol'd and love that T-shirt too, I so want one now. >:D

    As for xmas I did rather well for myself this year.

    - 1tb seagate SATA HDD preloaded with 300gb of anime love.

    - LG KS something something webslider phone (Replacement from the g/f who went psycho and smashed my nokia 0_o) WOMENZ!

    - 2nd hand dell power edge 2650 server.

    - rail kit for above server.

    - wacom intuos4 A4 size tablet which I shall be getting shortly seeing as it was purchased online just before xmas. I sooooooo can't wait to get my hands on it. XDDDD

    I trust you are no longer with the psycho hose beast who destroyed your phone? Oh and I got my GF the Wacom Bamboo (fun) The Intuos4 looks freaking hot too. She's the artist who might actually use it.

  9. dell S2410 monitor, hot sauce wallyworld gift set, popcorn wallyworld gift set (well this is actually my gf's, but since I'm the popcorn nut....), military boat model, chef knife set (really awesome, not a cheap wallyworld block with steak knives, but an actual nice balanced set with a sharpening stone.) fajita set (that is a pair of heavy gauge pans for teh sizzle) and a tortilla holder.

    I suppose the 24" 1080p monitor qualifies, but not much geeky this year, despite having only actually asked for a zipit z2, and to get on the preorder list for the open pandora. But my gf knows I really really like my cooking.

    Already used it to nearly reproduce Sakkio chicken teriyaki....
