Nice

Do you want the final or test release? We can attach a copy to a posting if that helps until you get your ISP issue resolved.

An Ad Hoc connection? Can you ping each other once the wireless connection is established? Compare the ICS settings on the host pc and the client+host laptop...any differences?

It depends on your usage and hardware. Heavy p2p usage has been known to bring routing/filtering devices to their knees. If p2p is your most important traffic then you should reflect that fact in your QoS settings as well. I've wanted to try SmoothWall out for a while now. How do you like it?

Although not a 100% solution, progress is being made: NTFS-3G: Full Read-Write Open Source Linux NTFS Driver

Are your TCP/IP settings the same as the other computers that are connected to the router? Are they all set to automatically get an IP? How many client computers are there? Have you rebooted lately? Please ensure that your network cable is attached securely at both ends, and you might try swapping cables as well in case of a short or break.

It causes the "loading, please wait" screen to hang for me as well. IPB has a long history of trouble with Quick Edit but I can't find any other €-specific bug reporting...

Please descibe how you connect to the internet so that we can diagnose your issue.

IPB uses MD5 hashes but xper has requested that everyone change their email and password.

If your goal is to avoid wi-fi then you might consider HomePlug powerline networking devices. They tend to get a bad rap on reviews but I have found them to be a worthwhile alternative when circumstances don't allow wi-fi.

Cool, we are on the same page...just wanted to clarify that point for "Joe Reader" And my use of the word "spectrum" probably didn't help matters... Thanks for starting this thread. This is the kind of stuff I love discussing! And I *can* think of a reason to run a chip slower than its indicated speed: heat! I have seen rigs in the past that had various hard-to-diagnose issues that seemed to be heat related. Underclocking the chip a bit, not a lot, cured the ailment.

As a fellow member of the Armed Forces, I recommend you do NOT attempt to circumvent this in any way until you get proper authorization. Such activity (circumventing security measures) could be interpreted as a violation of the UCMJ. Authorization, if granted, will likely include some help from the admins to get around websense. Hope things are going well for you in the sandbox

No, Cat6 is 250mhz though I heard that there is also a Cat6-A. Never seen the stuff, but I would venture to guess that it is probably 250mhz as well with tighter quality standards (more twists, less crosstalk, etc) although Cat7 is 600mhz so there may be something else in-between that large spectrum gap. After reviewing this thread I think it is important to note that Cat6 is backwards-compatible with Cat5/5e despite the frequency difference. When we talk about the different frequencies we are really saying that Cat6 is designed for frequencies "up to" 250mhz. This is quite different from wireless where the difference in frequencies (2.4ghz for 802.11b/g vs 5ghz 802.11a) makes them incompatible.

GigE was actually designed with Cat5 in mind, but everybody I know says the results are sub-par and that 5e works much better at a reasonable cost difference. Cat5 just doesn't scale well enough with GigE. You might be thinking of frequencies instead of speed...both are designed for 100mhz frequencies.

Or try the open-source xCHM.

I think it is mainly because GigE just hasn't trickled down to the home yet. Supply and demand. 802.3ab was finalized in 1999 and has seen lots of corporate usage so it isn't necessarily a technical limitation. Apple has been putting out GigE-enabled products for a while but they are lonely in that regard. In order to take advantage of it you really need at least Cat5E cabling (most installed cable is Cat5), a GigE hub/switch/router and of course adapters. That is a lot for home users to swallow. 802.11n is beyond a software/firmware upgrade. The main feature of .11n is MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) which, as you stated, requires multiple antennas in order for the device to do some really fancy multiplexing. And I saw some news recently about how some (most?) pre-n devices would *not* be upgradeable (compatible with the final spec) despite manufacturer claims. You are wise in your decision to wait

How capable is OptiView on its own? Doesn't it do its best when you buy all of the asoociated hardware? Has anyone tried HP OmniView? It looks interesting but I don't see much hands-on reporting of it.

Remember to keep it within the guidelines, Yoshi

If you are in an AD domain you can use Group Policy to prevent software usage altogether. This would allow you to restrict certain users. Here is a Wingate FAQ that you may find helpful. And if want to go with the port blocking solution, you might also find this page useful. It is intended for an ISA audience, but the port info and port blocking tactics are relevant.

In addition to RogueSpear's great analysis I would pose this question: do you need Exchange? You said that all you need is mail and Exchange is much more than that. Perhaps all you need is a basic mail server? Could save you lots of time and money if you don't need the full Exchange setup.

So QT works pretty well for you, huh? Except no browser plug-in, right? Gspot link, and report info: 33 files is correct. Don't forget to add in the QT pack since it works for you but is separate now.

Tough to connect to a VPN server when you aren't running one. On Windows Server, you install the server via Add/Remove Programs and choosing Windows Components. Sounds like you need hamachi. I've recently started using it and I agree with the posts above: it is awesome!

Nice utility. Works well for me. The only issue I had was the GAIM input was looking specifically for gaim.exe, but I use the portable version. I had to put a * in the file name box so that the dialog would display all files. I then selected PortableGaim.exe and all was well. And of course that was just for the setup, no issues thereafter. Thanks, Tarun!

Please fix the download link.

Topic re-opened. Sorry for the trouble.
