@john that's the answer I feared. @pcstru I'll look into that. Thanks

Hi folks, I'm sure what I'm after isn't available but I'll ask here anyway. I want a new phone and I want it to have a qwerty hardware keyboard. Ideally I'd like Android (recent version) but I'll take Windows phone too. The Nokia E7 had a great keyboard. It went away when I wasn't using it and had a good size screen. That's the sort of thing I'm after, not the blackberry things that takes up most of the phone. Thanks, Bryn

Hi folks, I totally forgot to come back here and reply. Sorry. If anyone is interested, the switch was on port based vlan, not 802.1Q. I changed that and away I went. Thanks for everyone's help, and sorry!

Hi, I'm looking for a couple of things putting on the Clickview Exchange please. Don't Blame facebook - Channel 4 - Episode 2 Horizon - Swallowed By A Black Hole - BBC2 Thanks Guys & Guyesses!

That settles it, it is VLANing differently. I've just set a static IP, connected to the guest network and I can't ping the home hub... I've had a think, and I think it must be the switch. Theory 1: The VLANing on the switch isn't attaching VLAN tags, it's just effectively stopping the ports from seeing each other. The Unifi on the other hand is attaching VLAN tags which the switch can't interpret and therefore nothing is getting done with the packet. Theory 2: The VLANing is attaching tags at both the unifi and the switch but the Homehub can't interpret the packet, so it's being discarded. That said, the switch shows no TX or RX errors for any ports so it's not just reading it as a faulty packet which is interesting. I'm really stumped by this one. Oh, many thanks for the help I've had so far, and I'm sure I'll get in the near future - it's very much appreciated.

Unfortunately this won't work on my switch at home, but MAY work at work. The GS724t that I own doesn't appear to have telnet access so I can't run those commands. The switches at work have telnet, but I won't be permitted to change the settings unless I have a damn good reason, which, at the moment I don't. If I plug a device into port 3 of the switch (where the UNIFI is plugged in) then it will get an IP on the 18.* subnet as port 3 has both vlan1 and vlan2 assigned to it. The guest SSID on the unifi is set to vlan2 which SHOULD give it a .19.* IP but I don't get one. The internal SSID does not have a VLAN option set and picks up the correct IPs (.18.*). I've just verified that DHCP works through the VLAN by putting a port (4) into JUST vlan2 and connecting a laptop. Worked flawlessly and picked up a 19.* IP which leads me to think that the VLANing on the switch is different to the VLANing that the unifi is doing. How, I'm not sure...

Hi there, I'm trying to set up a guest network and am running into problems with the VLANs - I assume. I have a Unifi UAP with 2 SSIDs (call them internal and Guest). I have a BT Home Hub v3 serving DHCP on a 192.168.19.*/24 scope - this is the internet network and only generally has 2 leases. I have a windows server 2012 box serving IPs on 192.168.18.*/24 - this is the internal network used for most things. I have a web filter that routes between .19.* & .18.* perfectly - essentially a second router. I have a GS724T switch with 2 vlans set up VLAN1 in the main, default vlan that is on the 18.* network. All ports apart from 1&2 are assigned to this VLAN. VLAN2 is the internet vlan and has port 1 (home hub), port 2 (web filter) and port 3 (Unifi AP) I have set the guest network to VLAN2 - but no DHCP gets picked up by the client. I want the guest network to have a 19.* IP - which means no filtering - I have my reasons. In essence, It appears that DHCP requests aren't being forwarded to the home hub, or the responses aren't being relayed back. Does anyone have any ideas? This is currently a home project, but it's because we're wanting to do something similar at work. Many thanks, don't hesitate to ask for any more info. Bryn

That's not what I want to do. The old user HAS to stay logged on in the background as they may have work open.

Hi all, I regularly have to use machines that other administrative users have locked (Windows+L). Is there a way that I can disconnect their session so it runs in the background whilst I get on with the work that I need to do? The way I've been doing it so far is to ask another technician to initiate a remote desktop which takes the machine back to the logon screen but still keeps the session - is it possible to do it a slightly quicker way? EG have a command line program from another technicians ? Or a button on the lock screen that you can type in your username and password? I did try tsdiscon but I couldn't make it work. Thanks in advance, Bryn

Hmm, an hour plus on the phone to HP and the software they have sent me doesn't work... Apparently I might need Windows XP, despite the fact that the guy from HP was using 7. Why would I need XP then? He didn't know. I lost the world to live yesterday so it's now an after Christmas job. I'll let you know how I get on...

mmm, I found that before. Clicked the link though, clicked firmware and there are just links to the hp main site.

I looked at that - didn't see the firmware file I needed? Please tell me I'm not being that thick today!?!? Waiting for the Christmas holidays...

No, it wasn't. And that fix didn't work. Looks like I'm going to have to re-flash the firmware. Now to hunt round for a PC with a parallel port... And then to find the RFU file on the HP site... I'm in for a fun day.

Hi, Wasn't sure where to put this so the hardware section seemed most appropriate. We have a HP 5550dtn here at work which is displaying an error message on screen: Downld file now RFU LOAD ERROR RESEND RFU OVER PARALLEL PORT This message is displayed AFTER memory has been checked. Whilst browsing the internet somebody posted a fix - a fix I tried that didn't work. It's too long to write out on here but the general gist of it is that you tell the printer to "ignore" RFU errors. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks in advance Bryn
