    Fall 2020 Home Network Upgrades

    Well, I bit the bullet. I now potentially have upwards of 600mbps/20mbps for an Internet connection with Comcast's XT-6 Modem Router Gateway as part of the package deal at roughly the $60 (USD) mark last month. I use (and have used) Netgear Nighthawk Router (of the minimal marketing terms...

    ESXi 6.7u3, Napp-It AIO, & Tuning

    err, never mind, it seems trying to create an aggr/bonded link with OmniOSce creates some kind of Loopback condition on the trunk link(s), thus preventing the aggr/bonded link from getting an IP address, unless it's back to the inferior consumer networking hardware?!? meanwhile, the vmxnet3...

    ESXi 6.7u3, Napp-It AIO, & Tuning

    Hello, Effectively a repost (if I can remove the other one). I don't want to rework everything, but I also have no qualms about ripping everything out to rebuild and configure everything (ESXi 6.7u3, Napp-It, etc.) with a clean slate. The all Intel server (my ESXi box) has: effectively the...

    Refreshing the Intel S2600 with ESXi & Napp-It

    ah, ok.. know anything creating a fatter pipe by aggregating link(s)? getting some strange behavior so far.. # dladm create-aggr -L active -l [e1000g0|] -l net1 aggr0 as an immediate response, I'm getting errors of a (paraphrased) 'Loopback condition on the trunk link' that just scrolls and...

    Refreshing the Intel S2600 with ESXi & Napp-It

    (admins - please move as deemed appropraiate) so..with so many different changes happening all at once.. I figure this might be the best place for it.. I've had a cough for most of December, but it came to a nasty wretched head right during Christmas.. I thought I'd over it rather quickly, but...

    RasPBX (Apr 2018) getting calls with Google Voice and Bluetooth

    Update: It seems Google Voice only works the OBIHAI OBi200 SOHO hardware device or through specific interfaces (Apps or Sites under Google's control). So using Google Voice in this manner has been dead for a while now, maybe 6-months. It's been well documented, or rather the documented methods...

    Supermicro server can't turn on after I disconnect IEC power cord cable without turning off the main

    @BoredSysadmin - horrible :confused: and shamefully hilarious! :D :rolleyes: Just as bad as asking if the power in the neighborhood is out. o_O :rolleyes: Disconnecting power from the wall or the back of the computer is virtually the same. No burnt/fried electronics smell (which is very...

    WiFi networking three blocks over

    Any off the self solutions to network over/across three blocks (under a 5 minute walk) from Point A to Point B? I do have a few 150Mbps USB adapters, curious for a possible solution. maybe a home brew mesh network using the Raspberry Pis

    Napp-It AIO on 6.5[6.7] and Windows 10 Pro

    bringing this back to life... have an error with Napp-IT stating the ZFS pool can't be found and bascially no bootloader.. quick searches point to a shared drive cache sort of bug with an easy fix from mid-2017 as I recall.. now just need to restore this if I can..

    Windows

    ahh, there it is... thought it was more highly integrated to the OS, but uninstalling them works just as well..

    Windows

    sorry, figured this was the best spot for Windows 7 - been tasked with removing and disabling MS Live Messenger & MS Skype from Windows 7 for my father, something he manually closes at the moment -- never had this issue on my personal machines.. tried google already, but no dice so far with the...

    X8DA3

    So just how much power does the X8DA3 require? The modified PDU (on the 846) using either the 900w or the 1200W-SQ simply will not power the X8DA3.. so what gives?

    A1SRI-2758F

    little update is in order.. extracted the PSU from the former Core 2 Duo FreeNAS box.. o_O not what I wanted to do, but things are working so far.. so, how do I determine it's the 1) PSU or 2) the backplane that the drives attach to?? :confused::confused: P.S.-- I appear to have Rev. 1.00 of...

    A1SRI-2758F

    :(:(:( Power Supplies? err, I have no way of testing that at the moment. on another note, thinking about power, the X8DA3 won't power via the Supermicro 846 chassis, which I modified the PDU to take 1000W/1280W SQ @ 100V/220V.. I hear a bleep then mechanical click (thermo fuse or relay)? wish...
