You need hardware that supports 802.3ad Link aggregation for this. Good luck finding an affordable 802.3ad router for home use! Cards are easier to come by, but you need both.
Don't use those. .0 is a Network ID (address) and .255 is the broadcast address. Gamehead is on target again here....using those values will cause problems. No, an IPv4 address is a 32bit number normally represented by four 8bit octets (x.x.x.x). A port associated with an IP (usually called a socket) would usually be displayed as x.x.x.x:y
Looks very nice. I can *taste* the MSFN all the way down to the forum layout Your front page is far less busy which is a good thing, IMHO. I'm a bit confused, though. Is this a general news site or what? The name had me hoping that it was intended to be a certification site with news/faqs/tips about and for getting different certs...but it looks like it is actually news of various topics.
You could try changing the setting on one (non-critical) server and see if it helps. Without knowning the roles of the servers in question, as a general rule servers don't need/use power management of that sort. A thorough description of your problems would help as well
With a dynamic IP you can, in simple terms, just disconnect from your ISP for a few hours and you may get a new IP/hostname when you reconnect. User agent is easy to change. Firefox has an extension that does it and you can just hit F12 in Opera. MAC address is configurable in the properties of the adapter. This could be a neat FAQ/guide if some work was put into it...my post isn't very complete
#2 will make a nice avatar. Be sure to use thick, contrasted lettering for your dynamic signature text or it will get lost in that busy background. BTW, is there a concept behind your design? Like a stylized UPC, perhaps?
I have the same config and like it a lot. It is great for productivity.@Dumpy Dooby: We are referring to this card. But there are others. I'm not sure if the bloated, .net-based PowerDesk software that comes with the Parhelia will meet your needs...but it does have some neat options. Note to gamers: The parhelia can't really handle most modern games. I can run UT2004 in "Surround Gaming" mode but have to turn off most of the pretty-ific options and drop the resolution down to 2400x800 in order to get a decent framerate.
Actually I'd like you to try installing that pack with your current installation to see if it fixes things. But a fresh install will be interesting as well.
@Kiki: Just for S&G, would you mind installing the MSFN Codec Pack? It is mostly the same as this pack but uses an INF installer. I'd be interested if intalling the codecs in that manner gives you different results.
This looks like a neat project. I don't use Office on my personal machines but it will be nice to have this for workgroup/customer deployments. Hopefully this project generates more interest
If all you want is calendaring with your Tbird you can use Sunbird. There is also an extension version to add it into Tbird. Evolution's network support is fine for me so far but I haven't tested extensively in a workgroup environment. Mostly just checking it out for now.
It is an Outlook replacement that exists primarily in the unix world. The link I posted is to a win32 port of it. Outlook is commonly the main reason why people stay with MS Office. Its calendaring and workgroup features/integration are still somewhat hard to replace.
