Yeah those are fine and not to touch, basically anything other than the port you have in adva is managed/owned by BT like a master socket, I dont know if that goes to the cisco though on your end. If you plug in direct to the Cisco port (obv out of hours) and run tests there is the speed still slow?

I found PoI got progressively better at the end of Season 2 when Samaritan begins and I really enjoyed it. The first season wasnt bad but just missing a bit of big ark story. Fringe is similar, Season 1 was good but a bit disjointed, season 2 had the writers strike if I recall but then season 3 onwards kicked it up a notch.

Ugh, I know someone who ordered BTNet and didnt really understand what it was until it was installed. They didnt opt for the Cisco as it cost a fortune extra per month and they asked me if I had any clue. I got photos from them showing the Adva and the fibre but they didnt know how to hook it up (and couldnt as the Adva ethernet port is disabled unless < 100mb I believe) so I found them a media converter and fibre cable on amazon which got it working. There have a pretty old Draytek which really cant handle the 500mb they have (less the speed, more the devices) but they get pretty close to the line rate they pay for. BTNet should have a decent SLA. Are you plugging smoothwall into the Cisco I take it?

Our main admin shared mailbox M365 now inaccessible
ZeroHour replied to kennysarmy's topic in Cloud Services
Adding permissions to a mailbox can take a while to roll out depending on how big the mailbox is. Is there anything in your Service Health dashboard? May be worth reporting to MS. Is all other email/owa fast and working? -
Our main admin shared mailbox M365 now inaccessible
ZeroHour replied to kennysarmy's topic in Cloud Services
Does the OWA/Outlook web access work? https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/mail/{email address} I think thats the url format but the top right icon on the page has the option to open a mailbox. -
I had the vodafone one (consumer) many years ago, it did work to a point but it was a bit flaky with calls. I know there are a few folks who have signal boosters around here (for consumer use) that I believe are licensed to work. I saw on a FB someone asking a couple of weeks ago and people saying they did work but again that’s in a house.

I think that wont work well potentially, a lot of these systems can pick up the TTL count being wrong, Gl.Inet for example has a setting that works around that and I dont know if the Travel Router has it. I saw some saying its a bit of a pain that you have to have a device per user and cant say have a collection assigning to staff each time they need one. Does it let you do web login? I have a GL.Inet box and its really good but Unifi could be simpler to setup at least.

Secure boot certificates expire in june 2026
ZeroHour replied to TwistedHelixis's topic in How do you do....it?
Just to say you can check a machine directly in Windows in Windows Security Centre -> Device Security. I think it should read like below if you have the updated certs (this pc seems to have updated without needing a bios update) -
I will try and get that sorted asap. I need to rewrite the plugin to autodetect country but displaying existing should be fine.

Slow Internet. How do you troubleshoot?
ZeroHour replied to Gongalong's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
One thing I use to test whole bandwidth removing DNS (ping the domain to get the current ip) is a WSL ubuntu instance I have with iperf3 (Windows version has issues with the network stack) iperf3 -c iperf.as42831.net -p 5355 -R -P 12 -t 30 -4 That for example usually will push to the limit of your connection. Just note the -p 5355 is the port, you may need to tweak that if the port is in use by someone else. -
