At my job, we have a newly-hired programmer. His work laptop, a member of our work Active Directory domain, somehow got disjoined from the domain. Said programmer was (note: WAS) a local admin on the laptop when the incident occured. He claims that Win7 automatically removed it from the domain...

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Perl v5.10.0 from Ubuntu's 5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2.3 package. #!/usr/bin/perl -w # # $a="0.342170"; $b="0.351477"; $c = $a - $b; print "diff of $a and $b is $c\n"; yields: $ perl math.pl diff of 0.342170 and 0.351477 is...

I've got a "HIS H485FM1GH Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail " that I bought a few months ago from NewEgg. The GPU fan has died. While I will be RMA'ing it, I'd also like to know other options for after-market heatsink or...

I'm interested in getting several HP Procurve 2510-48s as Layer2 switches, but all the SFPs I've found seem really expensive...$550 for a 48-port switch, but $300 for a SFP? Ouch! Will these take generic SFPs, or at least, non-HP ones?

I've always ran all Cisco switches (from the 1900 to 6509s ; been a CCNA for over 6 years). However, The Boss wants to replace a bunch of Layer2 switches, and wants to do it cheap. Even a single 2960 costs around 4 times what a Procurve costs, which has me thinking about keeping our 3750s in the...

How does everyone monitor the status of Spanning Tree on their Cisco switches? I have all of my devices logging to a central syslog server, but I'm not seeing any thing logged when root ports change/etc. Because the config doesn't change, rancid doesn't pick up on it either... maybe I should...

I've got a typical home network consisting of a few Windows PCs wired into a Linksys "router". I am looking for a way for my wife to play music via iTunes on her PC, and for me to listen to the music she is playing on my PC (streaming?). We both have iTunes installed, using the same iTunes...

I often setup web servers before the DNS is updated; as such, I often have need to hit up a web server and make sure I have the name-based Virtualhosting working. However, to do this, I have to have DNS blah blah, its a pain. EDITING THE HOSTS FILE ISN'T AN OPTION I'm looking for a brower...

Has anybody tried running the just-released-due-to-security issue PIX 6.3(5)145? I'm running it on a few 501s, and having an issue with SSH. Anybody else?

is there anybody on here who gets Internet from Time Warner, especially on the east coast area? I'm having some issues with my web hosting company, and I need someone to do a quick download test and a traceroute. PM's are fine.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in my code or in PHP, but I'm getting (slightly) wrong values from large math problems.. the larger, the more they are wrong <?php $exp = 62; $safeinput = 7; $combos = pow($exp,$safeinput); print("62^7 is $combos"); ?> This gives: 62^7 is...

Hello all. I am looking for real-world experience/recommendations for a Web Application Firewall to satisfy PCI DSS's section 6.6. As far as sizing, right now we're peaking at 2k concurrent HTTP connections, and around 100 concurrent HTTPS connections (6k total connections). We've seen demos...

I have previously used Cisco ACS for doing TACACs for my routers and switches. I am now in a new environment which doesn't have Cisco ACS, but they do have a radius server (in the form of IAS on a Windows Domain Controller). I understand that RADIUS has no provision given to users as to which...

Looking over some documentation for the Sup720, it says it occupies the switch fabric slots 5 and 6 in the 6506 chassis. So that means it takes up two slots in the chassis, leaving only 4 slots for line cards? Or am I not understanding this?

I'm looking for a program (Windows or Linux) that can query a switch (specifically a Cat 6500 running hybrid) and tell me what IP (or even better, dns name) of machines connected to it. I do this currently with a combination of a few telnet session (one to the sup, and one to the msfc), sed and...

I think I'm using this function slightly wrong, but the output is really odd... <?php foreach (range('a', 'Z') as $letter) { echo $letter; } ?> But it outputs Can anybody else verify this?

This isn't my bathroom, but its so funny I had to share it.

I have a directory with several thousand log files in it; I need to remove all lines from each file except the last few lines (I only need to keep the most recent few entries). I'm having trouble getting tail to truncate in place.. I know I could tail -n 5 filename.txt > newfilename.txt, and...

I need to be humilated in order to get some motivation to clean this crap up.. please, someone laugh at me (and not about the poor image quality, its the best my cell phone can do). These two aren't too bad, but they could still use some TLC.

A friend-of-a-friend has a website that I believe has been hacked... when you go to his site, Apache gives a 303 direct to some spammer's site. I'm thinking someone broke into the webhosting company's server? $ telnet reed-design.com 80 Trying 209.134.25.200... Connected to...

Using WebSense Web filter (ver 6.2), is there a way to determine how a URL is currently classified (i.e, which catagory it falls into)?

This is close to OT, but since it has to do with IP addresses... :cool: does anybody know how to get Excel to sort a spreadsheet with IP addresses, by IP address, correctly? For example, a list like: 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.3 10.1.1.20 If you sort this in Excel, it comes out as...

I need to take 20 DVD movies (marketing material; no commerical movies) and rip them into a format that a standard WinXP/2k machine can play. No weird plugins/codecs please. What's the best way to do this? I don't need to copy the DVDs, just rip them to movie format that Window Media Player can...

For those of you who have users with laptops, what do you do about network settings? At my job we are forced to make them local admins on their laptops, just so they can modify their network (LAN and WLAN) settings as they move between networks. Clearly, this sucks big time for security. Does...

I am trying to use jpgraph to generate a graph involving dates, but the distance between my consequitive x-axis tick marks (dates) will not be consistant. How would I do this in jpgraph? Here is an example of what I'm trying to create: But here is what my graphs look like now:

Does anybody know of a USB thumbdrive that has a physical write-protect switch? My old favorite, from Transcend, has been phased out because, says their tech support, "that technology is going out of date, so we wont be producing it for the future."

Does anybody here run a server with more than 16GB of RAM? According to Microsoft, you have to disable the 3/1 split to use PAE above 16GB... which, I think, then limits each process to 2GB of RAM each rather than 3GB. I assume this is not an issue on a 64-bit hardware/OS? I guess everyone just...

waaaaay off-topic, but my local university always does stuff like this.. all these skills, but for burger-flipping wages. Sad... ""Minimum Requirements: Must be proficient with DreamWeaver MX, PhotoShop, MS Access, MySQL and the following languages: PHP, HTML, XML. Knowledge of ASP is a...

I have a VPN Concentrator 3030 running 4.0 code. Due to the IPSEC bug, I need an patched version, so it looks like I'll have to grab 4.1.7.H (as 4.0 seems dead). I could always bite the bullet and jump to 4.7, but I'm a wuss :) Does anybody know of any issues moving from 4.0 to 4.1? Any...

OK, this is weird... Adobe Reader 7.0.5, running on a fully-patched Win2k with up-to-date antivirus software. Sometimes, when printing PDFs, some or all of the page will print out corrupted (the layout of the page is correct, and its English characters, but they don't spell anything)...

I think this will work fine, but I'd like someone else to verify... I have a single Guest VLAN that trunks across my network. I'd like to place two seperate (different network addresses, different gateways, etc) IP networks in this same VLAN (I don't expect/want them to be able to talk to each...

Anybody have thoughts on which is better in an nearly-all-Cisco enviroment for VLAN trunking? I know ISL is Cisco-propritary, but 99% of my switches are Cisco (a Cat6506, two Cat4006s, a dozen 3548/3550s, and one 3Com SuperStack:rolleyes: that I can't justify replacing). I don't plan on trunking...

If you can do SLI video cards, why not SLI CPUs? Take two 3.0GHz CPU and make one virtual 6.0GHz CPU? I'm just thinking how much fun a 24Ghz server would be...

Does anyone know of a Cisco PIX, when acting as a DHCP server, can set reservations for certain MACs? Right now I'm just excluding the reserved IPs from the DHCP scope, but then I have to set those clients static and remember them later. PIX 501E, running 6.3(4).

I can't believe Bellsouth on this one... they are saying that a residential-style DSL modem will not support more than one IP address, and you need a special, "multiple-IP-compatible" DSL modem for it to work. (we have our own Cisco PIX, so the DSL modem would be just a modem, not a...

With the 1.02 patch, BF2 would use about 750MB of RAM... with no video settings changed, 1.03 now hits a peak of 1014MB of RAM. Has anybody else noticed this? Does the 1.03 patch change the video settings (such as texture quality?)

I've grown tired of my tiny soltek 3401 (I want more room and better cooling), but I am short on money for an all-out upgrade now. I'm pretty sure that I could transplant my soltek's guts (minus power supply) into a normal ATX case (like an SLK3800), but just want to be sure. Current motherboard...

I'd like to cool my home Audio/Visual cabinet. It is fully enclosed (wood on two sides, thin wood panel on back, and glass door on front). I was thinking of cutting a 120mm square hole, and putting a nice quiet 120mm fan in it, but I'm not sure how to power it. Has anybody seen an AC adapter...
