Anyone?

I was looking at logging on my (old) Win 2003 R2 DHCP server and noticed one CCA is renewing much more frequently than others. I'm not sure why others are renewing as much as they are, as the lease time is 1 day, but this one stands out. The IP is .1.4 below. What can cause this behavior? Thanks.

I run 2 (quite old) Windows 2003 R2 DNS servers (DNS, and DNS2) and have been for many years. Typically I use forwarders, but am playing around with using just root hints. Randomly when I open up DNS Bench, about 1 out of every 5 or 10 times, it will say "DNS lookup is not offered by this...

Makes perfect sense. I'll look into a higher-wattage version. What about AmazonBasics vs ADP as far as quality? Any reason to get one over the other? Thanks.

Would this model, https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Standby-UPS-800VA-Outlets/dp/B073Q48Z95, be fine for giving me at least a few minutes for a regular PC and single monitor? I don't need special features or a long length of time - just something to get through brown/blackouts. I'm working...

DNS Bench will randomly (though rarely) list one of my local DNS servers as "DNS Lookup is not offered by this server". These two servers are Windows DNS servers, without forwarders defined, with 130 as primary and 131 as secondary. I'm not seeing any issues with resolution, they test just...

I fired up an old Acer netbook, noticed this shaking (video below). Pretty sure last time I took it apart I tried to fiddle with the connector but it didn't help. Was going to give this to my son to play on. Thanks. Video: https://cloud.binarydad.com/s/jSXHX7aYHCLi2Fz

I have two SSDs that I use to store 12 guests (6 on each) and have noticed one disk has a lot more writes than the other. I'm using Performance Monitor and am able to see the drive is writing more to disk, on average, but can't seem to tell which VM guest is the culprit. I've tried process of...

Really? My thought was that the 6/7 guest OSes on those drives would never allow for a period of sleep.

I have a couple SSDs that have what seems like low power-on-hours. I've had one drive in particular for about 2 months and the hours in crystaldiskinfo is only 468. This SSD is in a server which runs 24/7. 468/24 = 19.5 days, which is obviously far less than 2 months. The other SSD has a total...

Thanks. If the preferred way to turn it off via powershell or individually per guest (using the setting above)?

It is turned on for each guest it seems. Is this the setting in question below? I thought the issues with having this enabled was for broadcom drivers. Can this be for any kind of NIC?

I'm using whatever the defaults are. Stock Hyper-V install and threw on guests. I'm using a built-in Intel NIC. This is desktop hardware, as this is all for personal use.

I have a small personal Hyper-V server with 12 guests all sharing one virtual switch. I was doing some tests to see why some pings were randomly high and I wrote a script to log/email high ping times. It runs on one of the guests and pings IPs, such as the router and other devices on the LAN...

Their site says these things last for 360TBW (https://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/pdf/product-flyer/crucial-mx500-ssd-productflyer-en.pdf). I have 4.4 total, and if I were to estimate an average, maybe 1-2TB written per month, that's still quite a lot of years, but that assumes the full...

I run a personal Hyper-V server and recently switched my guest volumes over to two Crucial MX500 1TB SSDs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SF8KMG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I noticed just now that only after a couple hundred hours (355 and 194) they're showing as...

I'm running it for home use with about 12 guests. I'm curious if there's any value in upgrading to 2019 from 2012 R2. Thanks.

All good points. I'll order two. Thank you.

I was able to resolve this for free. Turned out to be a dirty corona wire. My printer has a little "slider" that is used to clean it. A few swipes and the line is completely gone. Thanks!

Thanks. Could you explain your reasoning?

I wouldn't worry either but this is for a wired LAN, not Wifi, though.

I've been running a ping test since yesterday evening. Every 5 minutes it sends 100 pings, 500ms apart, from PC1 to PC2. If at least one fails, it emails me. I just got one failure this morning, but it was from PC1 to the router (not even going through the switch in question), which was...

It stemmed from this issue: https://hardforum.com/threads/why-would-my-unmanaged-switch-only-get-full-speed-after-reboot.1980062/ I noticed after a reboot of the switch last night that I was still getting some ping loss, about 1 out of every 100 or so. I have since replaced the switch and still...

I'm trying to figure out why I'm losing packets. I wrote a script that sends 100 pings (one every 500ms) every 5 minutes across a couple PCs (PC1 to PC2 in the attachment) and every so often I get a timeout. I'm ignoring the first ping already. All devices are gigabit and hard-wired. I can't...

I run a small Hyper-V host (using a desktop PC) and currently have two 1TB WD blacks but want to replace them with SSD storage. Each drive contains about 5-8 guests (about 10-16 total, though 12 on average). I am torn between upgrading to 2 1TB SSDs or 1 2TB SSD. The the former, I don't lose...

Thanks. Is this something I can clean? It's fairly new and the drum still has 83% life, according to the info page.

Brother HL-L8350CDW laser color printer. I see this in some color photos. The toner is fairly new. What could cause the blue vertical line? It usually appears in the same spot on different photos. Thanks.

My concern was that this may be a public wifi access point, that devices on the network (i.e., every other device from other users at the marina) wont (or shouldn't) be able to see each other. We were hoping to subnet to create a mini LAN on my parents boat. Their extender is a netgear ex6200...

My parents live on a boat with wifi at the pier. They have a repeater in their boat but they are looking to get a couple smart devices, such as echo dots and smart bulbs. I understand these may not work properly if not on a local network. Our thought was to plug a router into the LAN port of the...

Would that cause it to have this random Behavior such as this? Once it boots up, it plays perfectly.

I want to rule this out before I try for an exchange. My son has an older C2D PC that I threw a 1030 into. Then I noticed that randomly during Windows boot, it would freeze. Sometimes a couple times before successfully booting to the logon screen. Sometimes it boots up on the first try. After...

The 1030 is fine for what he plays, so no plans to upgrade that. Mainly, is $75 for a i5 worth it to get a little better experience during gameplay?

This is for my 8 year old son's computer. I got a free Core 2 Duo a little while ago threw a 1030 into it. It works well enough, but am curious to how much of an impact going to a Core i5 will have in terms of gaming. He's mostly into Fortnite, of course, but any smoother framerates are welcome...

If needed. Wanted to rule out other things to possibly check first.

I have an old TP-Link 8-port unamanged switch on my desk, connected to various devices. I'm usually able to copy at full speed, sending and receiving, at 110MB/s. Sometimes, I will notice the upload/send speed fluctuates a lot, between 0 and 100MB/s, going back and forth in between. Read speed...

I was transferring some video files across my switch (RT-AC68U) and noticed that while my download speeds to my PC from my server were around the usual wired 115 MB/s, uploads to the server were fluctuating between 30 and 70, which is much lower than the usual steady 115 MB/s I also get for...

Does anyone have experience with these? I see the Wemo for about $30 and then I see cheaper brands on Amazon for half the price. What is the difference between the two and are there any quality "cheap" brands? Thanks.

I'm attempting to connect to a Win 2012 R2 Hyper-V server on a home network in a WORKGROUP setup using the Hyper-V Manager on my Windows 10 Pro laptop. All machines are local to the network. I had to do a reinstall of the OS on my Windows 10 Pro laptop and this is when the issue started...

I have a Intel Advanced-N 6235 card in my laptop and was wondering if upgrading to a AC card would be as simple as dropping in a replacement, or if there is more involved. I appears to be a 2x2 card, so would I be able to use a 2x2 AC replacement? Thanks.

Laptop has a SSD. Oddly, one of the desktops has a HDD and that's not having an issue.
