Quote from avih :

This probably requires a topic of it's own, but it seems a bit complex to me. Why the ICS, 2nd VM(LAN) and 2nd XP(LAN)?

Again, I'm not a network guru, but I think you can probably do with a VM most of the things that you can do with a dedicated machine on your network. Especially if you have a dedicated NIC for the VM, but possibly with bridged connection as well.

Beyond that, I usually try not creating a too complex setup, so my advice at such cased would be limited

I'll try to answer when I understand a little more of this...

I installed W7 on the VM and allofa sudden through the hosts NIC it has WWW connectivity through this "Virtualbox bridged network driver" and another "virtual" NIc has been added to the hosts NIC list???

The NIC that had the virtualbox network driver does not allow settings, how do I set the sub-net of the VM to that of the host???

This is getting complicated...it's like "am I on the server.no wait.i'm on the VM remote desktop'ed into the host.no wait.I am on the hos in a VM remote desktopping back to the server. NA WAIT! VM is not even running.Where was/am I ?:juggle:
:hbomb:


Screw this I don't even need a VM...Do I?:something

...so this might work? :

WAN > XP(USB)---ICS---VM(WAN) > VM(WAN)---PFsense---VM(LAN) > VM(LAN) > XP(LAN) > XP(LAN) > Wireless router???

...I'm thinking what's the point now


The only reason I need to do it this way is because of the problem linked above(PFsense wont work with a USB NIC as the WAN).

Quote from Shadowww :

Why don't you make second partition and install Linux or w/e you will use for network analyses there?

...About six months ago I was running nout but Linux, as I got sick to death of time integration to everyday brand name products I turned to windows...mainly because of MMC.

PFsense, I have this on CD next to me and I did query their boards some time ago with a question which was not really resolved.

I will try to run a Linux VM with PF sense installed giving the VM two(hopefully) eth local NIC's so as I can use it to supply the network, ATM I'm messing around with W7.

"online at [CAD]"

can't get enough of this server me

Quote from avih :

You define the maximum amount of RAM the VM uses. It can uses much less than the max. The CPU is shared when needed, so imagine running the additional application on your host machine, it'll be similar. Overheads can be relatively low, depending on your CPU features.

Just give it a go, might be worth it.

..it's up and running now, having the ability to cap resource usage is cool - now to my master plan MUUUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

*evilgrin*

...kinda OT:

I'e never used a VM and am curious, what % of system resources does a VM hog?...would it cripple an old machine ie. an XP box with 500mb ram 1.6GHZ using it for network analyses ???

Quote from Boris Lozac :

So why do you? I'm honestly interested.. Because that's the 'rave' fashion? If you didn't care you would show up like your friend did, looking like a normal guy, and just listening to the music right?
Is it only a phase you're going through or you plan on dressing and looking like that in the future too?

It's an expression of individualism, each to their own ey

Don't mind them klutch, here's a song to give you some inspiration, although I think you'll agree rap sucks ass the lyrics say what I can't

Quote from Bean0 :

Sounds like he's just using it to improve reception to the dongle.
Possibly putting the dongle where the LNB usually goes.

correct

Don't have proof of concept because meh

I suppose driving on [CAD] for hours on end with full grid is proof enough

anttt69 - get your hands on any parabola and these calculators will guide you along the way

...also to save some headache the setup goes like this:

Mobile BB > Server(ICS to LAN) > LAN > Wireless Router(router must have DHCP disabled and a static ip) > Wireless Router > home wireless network!

ICS gives the LAN NIC on the server an ip of 192.168.0.1, so set the static address of the router to 192.168.0.2 and all clients to get their IP's auto.

Also select the WAN to dial a connection when a client connects or else it will fail to hand out IP's and the clients will be left to make up their own IP, though this is a pain in the arse you can manually assign the client in the 192.168.0.xx range if you need to remote into the router for maintenance etc

Quote from anttt69 :

an old sky dish? how does that work?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

...everyone complains of mobile bb because it's pretty much pot-luck with reception and signal loss depending on how far you are from any give mobile repeater/antenna.

Also, old folk living in old style housing with the old style lead-based paint on their walls have not got a chance in hell of getting any kind of decent signal...and the other variables too - I could be blasting down the straight at Blackwood , just about to hit the brakes and turn for the apex and BAM! my missus or neighbor or some eejit decides to throw aa baked potaatoe in the microwave oven

80% good 20% not so good

Yes!

Meteor mobile bb.

Setup:

1 X server pc in the attic with an old sky TV dish with dongle on it
1 X wireless router connect to eth NIC on server with ICS from bb > home network!

Wireless BB for a fraction of teh price!!!


why?

because I'm a cheap bastard

Ya !

....and we need like five or so slideable screens like the tyre data on one, spring data on the next, and gear and adjustable(depending on the car) SHIFT NOW!!! light!

This would looks so effing sweet on the shifter imo

I would happily pay €4.99 for an iPod/iPhone app that is similar to the other software available for Windows, ie. the Virtual LFS Dashboard.

Has anyone tried or attempted to make such an app?

(my iPod sits snugly resting on my G25 shifter, how awesome it would be to have telemetry etc. there)

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

Oh God where do I start

Is is possible to just close one's eye's to what everyone and everything around them does?

Namely drugs and alcohol, neither agree with me and any time I've done so I regret it. I suffer from depression and hate the med's but unfortunately my social class depicts the people whom I congregate with. I'm afraid I'll just become a right bloody loner.


For me it's:

Dear Lord, I have sinned - God help me in 2010

Finally a thread with which I can relate!!!

I killed a man once

I will kill ewe

link in OP is down for me?

Anyone upload it here or somewhere else if it's not too big???

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I back CSU on this,i have also heard about there being an issue with directional something or other with HDMI cables, too bad the IT guy at work was just going on and ON so i was barely listening by that point.

Na, I wrongly made a comparison above to the OP about multi-core twisted-pair cable and that in a bog standard HDMI cable which could not be further apart in make-up and materials, I was trying to give an example of a directional circuit even though CAT cable is bi-directional they way it operates is directional(or is it...i dunno , i iz confuzed now)

OP is resolved

...I remember learning that the cables leak EMI from the ends and need directional couplers to sustain high transfer speeds...only on larger applications I suppose - I may be wrong, but I recall something along these lines with multi-core twisted-pair cable.

AFAIK some of the cores are used as chokes to balance the EMI from the cable, sorry I can't find a more in-depth description

I clearly stated " I can't see this being the case in a standard HDMI cable TBH but yes it is possible..." because I have never heard of nor seen a HDMI application for home use that employs active amplification(which renders the HDMI cable directional).

Directional HDMI cables are only used in studio's or long runs...they're all over the web

As for my statement about CAt 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 7 cable I was simply pointing out how in some cables the direction can interfere with the frequency spectrum as they use twisted pair cores to transmit the signal better

...is the only pic of a sheared screw i cud find

this would work imo - find and old chisel and simply beat it untill it chops the head off, no?

then grap a vice-grips and remove the rest of the screw(trust me, I'm a Doctor).

...stop fannying about and break out the elbow-grease

Quote from morpha :

That is completely impossible, unless one plug of the two is physically damaged and makes contact only with one of the involved devices. HDMI cables don't have any crossover wiring or anything of that kind, they're direct lines.

.

...reading here that some HDMI cables have built in equalizers and boosters on the audio(probably simple capacitance for surge protection) , also CAT 5, CAT 7 cable is directional for the way in which the cores are wound round one and other allowing use of eddy currents in the system to help transmit the signal better on one way - I can't see this being the case in a standard HDMI cable TBH but yes it is possible...
