  1. I cant even begin to explain this.

    heres the basic scenario

          LAN1 ---vpn---      LAN2          ----dedicated line---        LAN3

    192.168.1.0            192.168.2.0                                          192.168.3.0

    LAN1 and LAN 3 can ping LAN2, LAN2 can ping both LAN2 and 3 But LAN's 1 & 3 cant ping each other. i want them too.

    LAN2 has separate gateways for the vpn and dedicated line. static routes take care of this nicely when on LAN2.  But as far as i can tell static routing rules are limited to the first hop.

    So essentially i want to setup a routing rule to tell my packets @ 192.168.1.0 if you want  192.168.3.0 mask  255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 though gw 192.168.2.1 then gw 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.3.1.

    Did that make sense to anyone? i knows what i wants  just cant explain  good

  2. are you trying to steal somebody's bandwidth?

    I'm not entirely sure on the question here.

    you could write some kinda script e.g

                                                              ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:0A

                                                              ifconfig eth0 up

                                                              sleep 120

                                                              ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:0B

                                                              fconfig eth0 up

                                                              and so on...

    that would quite happily rotate your MAC on a single device. If your wanting to rotate set MACs around the network that'd be a little more complicated and i imagine it'd cause a few problems. I'd bet it'd mess up your ARP and IP addresses.

  3. Nice idea, but these days everyone gets their 'free wireless routers' from their ISP.  aint no script gonna get round NAT. and you know what.. thats already been said in the last post (and ppl wonder why i don't post anymore).

    That said its just as easy to get noobs to send a remote assistance request as it is to get them to download and run a batch script.

  4. Could be dud/fried RAM, could be power or heat issues. What size PSU? Check the temperatures and voltages too and make sure the CPU's heatsink is on correctly/the fan is working as it should be.

    perhaps you could tell us what temp your processor is running at, cos my money is still on hot.

    and you have got the service packs and updates right

  5. i use wine for running steam, the rest of the games i play are native ports.

    i used to use cedega but i find it suffersfrom all the flaws wine does (its just a little easier to configure) and the monthly payments really start to add up.

    If Cedega worked on the hardware visualization technologies enabled by recent CPUs, then emulating games (which is what wine and cedega both do),

    oh no they don't, the games are still run on an x86 compatible processor, there is no emulation. they are 'compatibility layers' in short the take your windows api calls and map them onto the appropriate Linux ones. its all very complex, but hardware virtualization won't help.

  6. Hey,

    I've just  got a new NAS, its a Linksys Linkstation live. now apparently you can flash it with custom firmware and install Linux. i had a quick look at openNAS.

    I wondered has anybody tried this? and is it worth it just for NFS support? bearing in mind i have it mounted with -cifs and the only major drawback is i need to copy without preserving permissions (otherwise it bitches about not being able to preserve permissions).

  7. Well i didn't think it was neccaseery since we're using propriatery banking software.

    Runtime Error 2147467259 (80004005) Timeout expired

    Error reading Address info retry

    Error reading diary info retry

    of course if you mean the SQL back end, there are no error messages on the server.

  8. Two servers, Two subnets, both win 2003. Enterprise Manager see them fine and i THINK i have set up the replication correctly. Its transactional replication, every 10 mins.

    The problem is i am getting all kinds of weird errors with the software that uses the origanal database, timeouts and duplicate transactions.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

  9. Doesn’t flash have that option? I've never uses MS VM but most of the ones I have used allow you to specify the processor time you assign. although a quick fix would just be to create and run lots of VM's until it slows you down to the speed you wish, especially considering that flash isn't all that resource intensive (especially in relation to modern OS).

  10. If only it were that easy, a lot of software needs admin permissions to run. Most of our users have admin permissions. ipconfig (nix=ip addr)and nslookup output all the local info (same as the tcp/ip settings). Other tools like nmap will give you a good idea of network layout. I also have a tool called simply advanced IP scanner v1.5 by radmin. This will map and subnet you choose, this gives you a list of ips and computer names (I even tried it on my isp and got a list of all computers attached to my isps dns).

    Not to mention the physical security, half the office knows our mail server ip simply because they've watched me set up there mail accounts. One ip will give you a subnet to be working on.

    On the subject of mail, don't forget mail headers contain the internal originator ip aswell as the external ip of the mail server…. my god sparda is right this could go on forever.   

  11. I am having one fantastic day; I have created a new user and put it in the remote desktop users group. yet every time I try and login I get an annoying error 'cannot log in 'cos you don’t have remote access permission the remote desktop users group has this by default.... blah blah blah' or something like that.

    The point is this user IS a member of the group, this user is not the only member of that group and almost all the other users can log on remote. I say almost as this problem happened on Friday too. (But I was too tired to get pissed off)

    Any ideas?

  12. I guess the title says it all but I’ll elaborate, I have a vista computer I would like to add to a windows domain (win 2003 DC) this computer was previously a member of a workgroup.  When I try to change the computer name and such it will let me change the workgroup but there is no option to join a domain.

    It is vista home addition, is this a Microsoft thing pay more to actually use our os thing? If so how do i get the damn thing to let me login to network drives without it putting the computer name in front of the username.
