More than that there is not even a registered domain for mrwu365.co.uk Rob

as it says right at the top of the NDR you have no MX record for mrwu365.co.uk

My bike was £550, accessories got that to £685. It's costing abiut £9 a week so £468. It's basicaly a straigth forward salary sacrifice so the value is taken of before tax and so you don't pay tax/ni/pension/union on that value of your pay. 793 miles so far on my steed break 800 next week if I don't go out over the weekend.

We are on Pay-per-print service contract. If you go this rout, get multiple quotes, check all the terms and conditions, check everything inside, outside underneth the carpet and mak 100% sure your happy tith the contract and it's SLA's. Find out how many engineers are in the area to service the devices. Rob

I looked at the weather forcast the night before and though a who gives a .... Cyclied in in the dry and got wet on the way home as expected.. My chain will get done when it's getting worn out. It's doen 800 miles so far and not a problem. As for being passed by other people, nop always me passing others usualy doing twice the pace of the other comuters ... Lovely to see the little BMX'rs spingging like crazy and going nowhere.. Rob

We use DPM, would rather find a better solution as it uses VSC for the disk-2-disk backup which has a maximum of 64 backups which is fairly pants as we want 3 a day for 4 months not 2 a day for a month! It tends to work ok until it breaks and then it seems to take a day of trying to creat new restore points and sync jobs to get it to work again on a particular server. We have SMTP working fine on ours, although I recall there bing a bug in the configuration screen. Rob

It's an amplified speaker with line in, mic in and line out. So you connect your source to the first one then just daisy them allong. Rob

we use a fostex spa11 for easy portability. even after 15 years and one blown driver it's still loud. You may want 2-3 to spread the volume down the space without deafaning the front row.

In Theory ( last time I did this was ~8 years ago ) Your original subnet is 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.254 ( bcast 192.168.1.255 ) Your new subnet will be 192.168.0.1 -192.168.3.254 ( bcast 192.168.3.255 ) If you change you change a server mask to /22 it can still arp broadcast to all hosts in the new subnet (bcast on 192.168.3.255). and so long as you keep it's IP in the original portion of the subnet, other hosts should be able to arp broadcast to it on 192.168.1.255. the key is to keep all hosts in the original subnet range until all the work is done. and to make 150% sure that 192.168.1.255 is not put into a DHCP scope. It's easy enough to test. Just get a server or client your not worried about. Change the mask and check it can ping. However, I would seriously look at splitting up the network into smaller broadcast domains by sticking a L3 switch between the network and the Lightspeed (I guess this is transparent?) and gettign some vlan routing going on. Rob

The recomended no of hosts per broadcast domain is 510 as in a /23 subnet. Which is where your at. Depending on your traffic and how many extra hosts there are doublign to a /22 may be a bad idea. Rob

Your looking at about £6 per year per printer for it sleeping. A full power down and restart ( without sleep ) may actualy use more energy overall. The bursar needs to look elsewhere. Rob
-
who looks after your ISP router, do you use an internal proxy and block all other outbound traffic. What is your current network subnet? simply changing the mask on all devices or via DHCP will give you more headroom. it can be done without downtime. Rob

does the captive-portal support groups

it's not cold yet and I am further up.

That's not closure LOL,

what's the outpur of ipconfig /all for the ethernet? Rob

We used a mobotix hi-res cctv camera for our time laps covering the demolishion of the old school and building of the new. We actualy had two for different angles. they were set up to write a picture to an ftp server ( one each ) every 10 minuets, and then replicate between the two servers to protect the images in case of failure. As for the Performing arts center, expect the cost to serverly restrict any grand plans. Ours was built in 2005 and sadly the theatre is not much more than a hall with raised retractable seating, some curtains ( no stage ) and a not fantastic lighting rig. Fortunatly with LED multicolour lighting technologies things have moved on in the last 10 years so you can get a gr8 desk, lamps and have a super array of colour options without having mechanical colour changers or running up ladders!

We use AMI easytrace to produce cards for students. It has a script that updates Paxton NET2 with users and puts them into groups but it's partly broken as the security levels don't automaticaly apply. Altman pcounter allows users to login with their network account and then assign their card to them. Oliver updates directly from Easytrrace. Traka lockers get user/card automatical and sort of work but there is no granularity of access. Catering is direct from easytrace. Our experince is that if you want a system to work seamlessley and properly then you have to define it in cast IRON before you sign up a contract. Our system is cludged to sort of work as the main contractor over sold the solutions. Rob

Lets get on with building the new fission reactors and stop messing about with small scale supposedly green systems like Solar and Wind. I stood in a corridor next to the power subsystem of a 24Kw solar array. on a April day when it was overcast it produces 2.5KW when the sun popped out it made 7KW... The owner will take many years to get back that investment. The government has looked into price fixing before and said "It's all fine and dandy" despite the facts showing otherwise.. Will they MAN UP this time and fight for their subjects... I doubt it. Will fracking bring cheap fuel? Doubt it. Should we have sold of the Gas, Electric to private sector? NO! Railway? No Postal service? No... The only saving grace is that the shrinking global economy, the cost of transport, and other factors meand that localised production is more attractive and that some fossil fuels may once again be extracted in the UK creating jobs. 8% increase means my wife will have to suffer the cold for an extra 3 weeks till I program the timer and it goes off 3 weeks earlier ... One advantage of being the techi Rob

2 of us , 650 Thin Clients (mobile and static ) & 410 fats including Macs. VDI on the thin clients makes it manageable, convert them to fat devices and it would not be manageable. about 30 Physical servers, and 20 Virtuals on that... We do it all..

err, have you thought about the fact that it may have been stolen from some poor sods home? Phone the plod and see if ones been stolen, lost. Rob

My server was a old Dell Dimension 3000, that got P2V'd to an old stone quad core jobbie with 8gb ram. I used to have a cisco lab of various routes and switches but it took up too much space so sold it on. And I can do most of it anyway now.

Stages of wireless adoption - Poll (Kind of)
twin--turbo replied to petertec's topic in Wireless Networks
1st question is why does he want it. Laptops are a pain in the neck so push for more fixed I.T. 2ndly we are stage 3. Before my time 1913-1998 no wireless in my time 1998-2003 no wireless (Stage1) 2003-2008 50 dumb 3Com Access points. (Stage2) 2008-2011 Cisco LWAP on 4400Wlanc (Stage3a) 2001-date Meru single channel solution (Stage3b) Rob
