A bad bad day.
  2. didnt do any good
  3. the problem disappeared when I turned off stp on the switches with Gb ports.
  4. Hi all, I have a poweredge 2950 which was updated recently (bios, BMC etc) using one of dell's all in one cd's but since then it refuses to work at 1Gbps, only at 100Mbps. The nics are broadcom netextreme 2 's, I have removed them and tried other nics and they will only work at 100Mbps also. Stumped. The server runs 2k3 (64 bit) windows storage server. The switches they plug into are 3com (tried a 5500 el, 4226t and a 4228G) Any suggestions
  5. i've already tried deleteing all the learned addresses on the switches, it hasn't helped. I will try to flush them through telnet when I get in tmrw and i'll post the outcome here Thanks
  6. No they havent been replaced, they and their IP no longer exist. I have 3NS installed on my laptop, nowhere else though. I just cant think what could be looking for them....
  7. About 2 months we had to get rid of 2 switches (3com 4226t). This morning I was going through some wireshark/ethereal captures and noticed that all of my switches are broadcasting for the IP's of the two switches that have gone, and doing it quite often. Since the switches were removed, all of our switches have had software updates and have been totally powered down (power cut). They all have identical config's so does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Who has 10.0.2.250? Tell 10.0.2.XX
  8. So this is the type of propaganda that the heads and governers have been fed backstage. Its sickening to think that this { - ZH} will not only cost me my job, but also in higher taxes in whatever job I get next. BSF: A new coat of paint, a couple buildings (built from plasterboard and polyesterene) that last 20 years, and a managed service that WILL NOT deliver what they promised you.
  9. I've found that if you just remove the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5 either via a script at startup or whatever your tipple, the updater will never bother you again
  10. Thanks c-r-h, thats EXACTLY what I am looking for but sadly thats a price that I am unwilling to pay. The problem is that the angle plates would basically rule out the so-called accidents that this one room seems to have with their current sockets and prove it as the wanton vandalism I think it is. But i'm broke...... Cheers mate
  11. Hi, I've tried to find what I am looking for in the usual places but I am starting to think I dreamed this product up. We have rooms where the network sockets are on the benches and are vertical facing i.e the cable goes in vertical ( _I_ ) rather than horizontal as they would on a wall (--I). Can I get angled backboxes for the faceplates that still screw down onto the benches but angle the faceplate so they are no longer prone to vandalism and heavy handed people ?? I am sure I have seem them somewhere, please dont say im having IT dreams again
  12. First off, just make sure that it is the backlight that has gone and not something really trivial like a capacitor on the inverter board which can be repaired for pennies with no technical experience necessary.
  13. Recently (2 days ago) installed and deployed (remotely) i-planner, ITR, Talk Maths 1-6, Solve the problem 1-6. No problems. Why would you need to do the install manually at each client ? If you need a hand or some advice get in touch and we'll go through it.
  14. The sqlserver process running the cmis admin database is constantly caning between 500000K and 750000K on our server. Its very hungry.
  15. 48) Please check that you have enough printer credits before you come screaming at me that every printer in the building is broken. 49)If the main server goes down please all tell me that you cant access your e-mails as this will be my new priority. 50)Please go out and buy the most expensive piece of crap software that the school budget can buy without consulting me, i'll be glad to take all of the blame for it's faults. 51)Please dont tell us that we "must have the best computer in the world at home" when you know exactly how much we get paid.
