<0> san antonio?
<1> South Africa.
<0> it was a joke
<1> :)
<0> dude johannesburg
<0> they should have quite a few, yes?
<1> Not as many as you would think.
<1> Apparently they only have one telco there too.
<0> its probably a guirilla monopoly
<1> Major latency issues between SA and everywhere else itseems, which is why we need to serve in a local datacentre.
<1> Ah well, guess I gotta take it in the *** a bit.
<1> I bet it's thanks to all those investors in Nigeria ;)
<0> its all that gold and diamond trading
<2> what firewall software do you guys like for xp pro?
<1> XP Pro.
<2> I used to use zone alarm but it seems to get more and more annoying
<2> you mean, the built-in firewall? isn't it pretty bad?
<1> What makes it bad?
<0> !info zonealarm
<1> ****s all over Zone Alarm.
<2> well, does it give you control over outgoing connections?
<2> program access and whatnot?
<0> no, do you really need that on a workstation?
<1> No, it doesn't, but it doesn't screw up your system either.
<2> hmmm
<0> are you concerned about what you might do, or what others might do?
<1> Program access you can control, and also by user accounts.
<3> what in the world is yenc
<0> y encodong
<0> yellow!
<0> i dunno
<0> i made that up
<3> apparently some sort of usenet binary encoding.
<4> HOLY ****. shipping prices from think geek for two cold heat soldering tools = $33 USD.
<3> i have a coldheat. its pretty cool, but i think overhyped.
<3> its very useful for working on printed circuit boards, but any job bigger then that, its worthless for.
<4> i was thinking jewelery repair
<4> and beginner electronics
<4> to repair electronics that i usually break
<3> its pretty sweet, it actually works...
<4> yeah.
<1> z0g^, yeah encoder, I have it for a few files from usenet.
<3> i would actually recommend using NiMH batteries in it, becasue all it does, essentially, is short the battery across the two halves of the tip. and NiMH can put out way more current then alkalines.
<3> NiCD too
<1> yenc32.
<3> so what makes yenc better then the typical method of usenet posting?
<1> Don't know, in fact, it annoys me as you have to get ANOTHER decoder.
<3> right. call me old fashioned but i still use OE to browse usenet.
<1> I use IE :)
<3> IE? for usenet? huh?
<1> Then again, I pay for mine.
<1> Easynews.
<3> well i mainly just browse the porn groups, OE is fine for that.
<1> Yeah I used OE a few times to browse them, so much easier with easynews though, and it's search capabilities.
<1> them = files.
<3> when my adsl was with Telocity, i think they outsourced their usenet. currently im with hellsouth, i think they host their own
<5>
<5> Cisco Systems Catalyst 1900 WS-C1900C Networking Switch
<4> 1900s ****.
<4> don't buy it
<4> buy 2600
<5> for home use?
<4> you don't need a cisco for home use.
<4> buy a $25 netgear or something
<5> yea but the guys selling it for like 10bucks
<1> Cisco is major overkill for home use, unless you have the money.
<4> you'll pay more than that after a while for power.
<4> and space
<4> those ****ers are huge
<5> is it hard to setup?
<4> and what are you going to do with it?
<4> you don't need trunking..
<1> Hah!
<4> or vlans
<4> or stp
<4> or other retarded **** that 1900 offers
<1> Still, some Cisco IOS is needed.
<4> it's more trouble than it's worth
<4> plus you have to pay for shipping
<4> (secretly i'm actually googling for this $10 switch to buy it before venkat submits)
<5> local pick up
<1> I would buy it for $10 though.
<1> Hahahah sartan :D
<3> dude, if you want some pretty powerful features in an affordable home-grade switch/router, get yourself a WRT54G (pre-v5) or GS, and flash it with one of the popular linux firmwares.
<6> does anyone know how to share a parallel port connection over a network?
<5> yea i know about that
<3> I have DD-WRT flashed on my WRT54G
<6> such that I can actually install the 'virtual port' on some remote computer
<4> wrt54GS v2 >*
<1> Laplink crostyna.
<6> hmm
<1> !info laplink
<6> ok ilcheck it out thanks
<1> Hmm.
<5> could i create a vpn with a 1900?
<4> it's a *SWITCH*
<4> silly
<1> You could create a vpn 'through' a 1900 though heheh.
<1> Hmm that wasn't funny.
<1> I think I am at the lame stage of the day.
<5> whats a vlan?
<6> Dov-work this is not what I meant
<6> I need a way to actually install the printer port on my remote box
<6> because the software thats going to use it needs it to be 'local'
<5> http://www.networkworld.com/details/471.html
<5> nvm
<5> its nothing i'd want
<4> you don't really understand what a switch really does?
<4> it's just a switch plain and simple.
<5> yea but u said it could do all this other **** ealier lol
<5> tricked me :/
<5> i think ill just stick to my 4 port linksys wifi router that i use as a switch
<4> yeah!
<1> Venkat, methinks you need to read up what switches do.
<4> and the 1900 series of switches ****.
<4> ****in ISL. =(
<4> ****ty ios
<4> weird configs
<4> no vtp
<4> er. vtp databases.
<1> I feel like a pizza.
<4> no portfast option
<4> knock down your network for 50 seconds whenever a pc reboots
<5> knock down your network for 50 seconds whenever a pc reboots?
<4> yes, knock down your network for 50 seconds whenever a pc reboot. STP takes 50 seconds to recalculate stuff.
<4> it puts ports back into block mode, listen, learn, etc before it goes back to a stable forward format
<1> Woohoo, I have an 800 series adsl modem here, and got it for free too :)
<4> in order to prevent switching loops.
<5> well then you know someone restarted their computer
<4> Dov-work: you lucky sonna =)
<1> Ima gonna console into it.
<4> i want some version of cisco to use at home
<1> It's bloody light.
<1> Huge box though, for it's weight.
<5> i have lots of math hw
<5> peace
<1> The power adaptor weighs more than the box :/
<4> i hate wall warts.
<4> and adapters
<4> i'd rather have bigger and heavier gear with standard poer connectors
<0> sartan
<0> they have a soho router now
<1> Anyways, home time cyas.
<4> digidog: i was thinking one o fthe 860 series of routers for it's ipsec vpn capabilities
<4> if i'm correct in the naming conventions
<4> maybe 871? i don't know. cisco has too many numbers
<0> i was thinking of the 70 series
<0> oh i guess 90 series supercedes
<4> i wouldn't mind having some nub version of the pix for home use though.
