Little-Miss Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Just trying to set up my new Netgear ReadyNas.....but whilst im setting it up it keeps going off and i can only get it back on by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Does it have some irratating power setting or have i got a duff?! Edited May 19, 2010 by Little-Miss
mattx Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Sounds a tad iffy to me - I have one I use just for system state backups and backups of our Navaho server - it certainly should not keep powering down and back on.
Little-Miss Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 I have 2 words.... User Error... That is all
mattx Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I have 2 words.... User Error... That is all That is not all - tell me what you were doing ? Come on, own up - I mean last week I was trying to connect to an iSCSI device through a 10/100 switch [ which I owned up and in which I was called a spoon ] - so come on...OUT WITH IT !!
Little-Miss Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 Damn you Mattx! I hadn't connected the kettle lead thingy to the power pack properly. I must have been kicking it under the desk....
mattx Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Damn you Mattx! I hadn't connected the kettle lead thingy to the power pack properly. I must have been kicking it under the desk.... Well, that's not as bad as my cockup last week.......Still better it's now off your chest.
Domino Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 We can turn this into a 'what stupid thing have you done this week' style thread then ;-) I myself spent half an hour trying to resurrect some hardware - only to remember I'd deliberately scuppered it myself as we'd virtualised the server a month ago....spanner

Tyiell Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 What stupid thing have you done this week? ...I've come back to work!!! I was on holiday for a fortnight and now I'm back in the office. Other than that I spent 10 mins trying to work out why a teachers name had disappeared for the Marksheet owners list in Sims before it occured to me that only one year is open for reporting and she doesn't teach that year. Hence she doesn't own any markheets!!
elsiegee40 Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Dropped a tea bag into the cup of coffee I've just made... no, I don't know why... I just did it Edited May 19, 2010 by elsiegee40
witch Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 If I could just draw your attention to this: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/behind-red-door/56397-hp2600n-stupidity-technician.html That's what I have done today (so far)
dhicks Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 What stupid thing have you done today? Rebooted a server with DRBD mirrors to Windows VMs - all Windows Server VMs promptly quit and the MDADM software RAID array and DRBD volumes all decided they needed to resync. Network going very slow just at the moment... -- David Hicks
powdarrmonkey Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Formatted my backup partition when trying to nuke Windows It's ok, there's a backup backup
Duke Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Logged into the production website instead of the development website and wiped the entire front page content... Think my heart actually stopped for a second when I realised what I'd done.
featured_spectre Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 as I couldn't afford a day off work today, I ended up having a tooth extracted without pain relief so that I could come in. Now it feels like I have been round house kicked to the jaw by Chuck Norris followed by a Punch to the jaw by Mr T. 1
mdrabble Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Never put salt and sugar on the same shelf and in similar small containers..............
creese Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 as I couldn't afford a day off work today, I ended up having a tooth extracted without pain relief so that I could come in. Now it feels like I have been round house kicked to the jaw by Chuck Norris followed by a Punch to the jaw by Mr T. Thanks for reminding me. I'm due that next Wednesday. I'm taking the afternoon as half day leave.

powdarrmonkey Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Ooh, ooh - I win, I win the stupid competition for today - I just went and did it again!... You just wanted the effect, didn't you?
dhicks Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 You just wanted the effect, didn't you? I was trying to combine four network connections in to one and then attach it to a virtual machine to act as a video file server. Still not sure if it's working yet... -- David Hicks
networkingNut Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Replaced our netpilot remote firewall with Smoothwall. Set the GPO settings to port 800 then sat wondering why there was no net connection. I missed the checkbox which says 'enabled' on the Smoothwall. nN
