Post Your Network! (56K = Possibly)

[Jay]

tiny area of an ISPs datacenter, mainly routing and bandwidth management / some co-location.

[Jay]

Double post.. sorry.

Out of interest - why post ips with parts obscured if they're non-routable?

[watercooled]

Maybe it's a default on the program?

I guess it's possible, I was just curious is all. I can understand masking public addresses but not class Cs

It is reassuring to me to know that I am a normal geek. This doesn't make my wife feel better about the amount of PC hardware floating around the house.
We currently have:
A fairly boring toshiba laptop
The main PC which is a core 2 duo, 9800gt, 2gb ram, 74GB raptor + 250GB.
Next to that we have another PC, fairly old athlon 3000 with a random ati card that I swapped for my old LC kit.
There is another similar PC in the boys bedroom but with a 6800 ultra graphics card.
I then have a "server" which is actually an old Dell PC. This is running as a domain controller + web server + SQL server + WSUS.
We just had the broadband upgraded to 50Mb, the engineer would normally stay and make sure you get your pc connected to the router they supply etc. He went away before I had got everything configured
My wife and I both have smart phones, and various friends bring devices round sometimes. We also have 2 neighbours attached to the wireless. Last time I checked my DHCP server had 20 leases running.
I would like to build a new box to use as my server, maybe run VMWare ESXi on it, but I need more money.

I've got an old Dell PIII acting as a sever (web server, dns, mail, active directory) running 2003 server, this is attached via ethernet cable to a 8 port switch which also has my main pc, a core2duo running vista attached to it via cable then the switch connects to the 4 port router which connects via wifi to my dads a64 running xp and my turion x2 laptop running the same OS.

The Netgear DG834GT router is running a 8128kbit Pipex ADSL connection. I use the server's DNS server for all DNS requests on the network including the wireless machines'.

My network is a little interesting. It may seem odd at first until you consider I plan to upgrade to Wireless Accesspoint to draft-N and all my computers are draft-N enabled.

Internet --> Be* Pro Internet Connection @ 18.2/2.4 Mbps --> Be*Thompson Supplied Wireless Access Point and 4 Point Router with WiFi disabled

Connected to this:

• One ZyXel PowerLine 80Mbps pair which goes into the Longue (for when I hook up the MacBook to watch movies/television on the big screen, as it is just out of range.
• Long network cable that goes upstairs to a Buffelo Wireless-G access-point and 4 point router.

Then connected to the Buffelo I have my server, which was one I just threw together for about £400 about a year ago. Very loud, and very annoying. Runs DNS, DHCP, a webserver, and backup utility, and well as other various bits and bobs for things that I want 99.9% uptime.

Finally, connected via the could is the following to the Buffelo:

• Mum and Dad's MacMini
• My iPhone (I think I may need to keep the buffelo active for when I get draft-n router so that I can keep this, and my friends happy, when they come over).
• My Computer <--
• My MacBook Pro (see below)
• Dad's Laptop that just seems to sit on the shelf and is never used.
• The guests who are staying with us' laptop.

the first page of this thread prompts a login popup to a domain atomet ... confused.

Yeah same here...

[TAKTAK]

I've reported it, with a jingle...

Beginning to realise I might need a switch and a NAS

It's nothing to worry about. Post 13 has an image linked (net.gif) to that domain and I guess settings have changed on that domain to require authentication.

[watercooled]

That would explain it - thanks

I noticed one of your homeplugs connects to two other plugs, has it got more one ethernet port or a switch/hub involved?
