Re: [AFMUG] Cable Spooler

2023-04-25 Thread Larry Smith


Hmmm, threaded rod long enough to go through the spool
and leave room to attach drill on end.  Two large washers
and two nuts same as threaded rod.  Insert rod through spool
and place a large washer on either side of spool.  tighten the
nuts just enough to provide tension to spin the spool.  Turn on
drill and try it, if if slips, tighten nuts some more.

Forrest,

  Excellent example.  My grandson is a certified welder.
When he graduated high school he had four of the five
required certificates / classes to be certified.  The company
he now works for said they would hire him at their trainiee
rate until he finished his classes and actually got his certificate.
Once he got his certificate it made about $23/hr difference in his
pay.

[AFMUG] Question for the "borg" about ISP access to ROW

2023-02-07 Thread Larry Smith


Question for those more in tune than I.

We are working (attempting) with our local electric
company for access to their ROW for some of our
fiber and they have stated that the rights granted ISP's
under Title II (telecommunications provider) in 2015
was reversed in 2017 and then in 2018 ISP's were put
back as "information" services removing any Title II
rights and reverting them to Title I only.  Escentially
they are saying we have to be a LEC or CLEC to
get access.

  Anyone have a good answer for this ??

Re: [AFMUG] Protecting Upstream Connections

2022-11-15 Thread Larry Smith


In the past when we had similar problems with Windstream I found
that often (about 75 percent of the time) I could hard reset the BGP
session locally and Windstream would pickup after the reset and
route correctly.  The other 25 percent, like you, I just had to down
the BGP session with them entirely and wait for the routes to clear.
A few of those times I even called our 24/hr support number to ask
if they could clear or reset the session from their side and was 
inevitably told "we will look into it" (not)...

Believe these devices also have SSH if configured when you set it up.
That might be a way to get there and reset the WIFI pswd without

Yes, but it ends with an INPUT "drop all" entry.
Agree it does not "appear" to be anything in the firewall,
but only takes a few seconds to test and prove one

To verify that, drop the firewall and then test again.
If its firewall related it will start working.

Not to argue the point, but I can (and have often) carry 10 to 20 gallons
of gas in the back of my pickup and extend my "range" to between 800
and 900 miles.  Especially do this when pulling our 30' camper around
the country.  Guess one can start filling the back of their vehicle
with solar panels and hope like h.ll its not pouring rain when they need
to recharge.

[AFMUG] Mikrotik question

2021-08-04 Thread Larry Smith


Ok, question for the borg:  My research indicates
that Mikrotik still does not support Virtual Tunnel
Interfaces (VTI) even though its been out since around
2004 or so.  We have a client, who's remote application
vendor wants to do an ipsec tunnel using VTI - and our
router onsite is a CCR-1036.  Am I going to have to
replace the onsite router or is there a way to do this
that I am not seeing?

Not FAX, but just had a conversation with a customer yesterday about
an all-in-one printer, copier, fax, scanner.  They were attempting to scan
a 153 page document to email and it was failing.  We manage their
mail server for them (their box) so jumped in and :  (1) the account
they use for the scanner to connect and send email was over quota;
(2) the server had probably ten active connections from the scanner
in "wait" state because the scanner had a 90 second timer set on
sending.

  Gotta love technology and the people that configure it.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Why isn't the internet Free?

2021-04-28 Thread Larry Smith


Show them the difference.  Explain it to them, how much each
streaming device wants in terms of bandwidth, then upgrade them
for 30 days.  At the end of the 30 days drop them back to their
paid for plan and let them decide.  We have done this a few times
and believe they always want to stay on the better plan - complain
about paying more - but do it.

[AFMUG] Question for the borg

2021-03-09 Thread Larry Smith


Ok, have a strange situation that has repeated itself
and I can come up with no answer.  Customer behind
an ePMP 1000, mikrotik HAP 52.  Suddenly last night
the ePMP radio went from 1 LAN MAC (the tik) to 43
(forthy-three) MACs, most of them a variation of the
actual MAC of the TIK.  At this time the TIK started
grabbing (using) a swath of different IP, all part of 
our network (both public and private) but some of 
them not part of our wireless network.
(EG the 100, 101, 102.X nets are part of our wireless
but the 118.x network is not)

Suspend ethernet on radio, wait 5, unsuspend and
login to TIK, reboot, reboot radio.  all normal again.
(cannot get into tik without doing this).

This happended to the same customer, on different
private (radio) and public (tik) IP address in April 2020
at which time the radio had 94 MAC address on the LAN
interface.  At that time we installed a new ePMP and went
from a 952 tik to the HAP 52 thinking one of them was the
issue.

Thoughts ?  Suggestions we can look at ?

PS:  this customer is computer illerate and generally does
exactly what the tech says to do and there is no other
internet service at this location.

Hmmm, why would that not be a NAT problem.
Translation tables are built based on TO and FROM
packets - so a change in either means the packet
is not part of an established translation and gets dropped.

Our local (podunk) Election office gave ink pens, popcicle sticks, stickers,
and postits this year.  Their reasoning was everyone had their own pen so
no one needed to touch theirs, the popcicle stick was for pushing the buttons
(did not work well) and the stickers and postits were just fluff.  Had to cost
something for all that...

The IRR is simply a way to manage your IP blocks without having
to regularly send in updates, changes, etc (via their manual forms)
to the ARIN.

Once you have an IRR server online, and your IP blocks entered and
labeled (hopefuly correctly), you just notify ARIN of the IRR server
name and IP and they will test it, then (believe) they let you know
that it is "up" within their system.

Draw back of this (from my perspective) is that from then forward,
the ARIN also redirects all "whois" IP queries for your IP blocks to
your server so you stand a chance of getting quite a few queries.

Been running our own IRR here since about 97, or 98 I think.

Hm, got one yesterday, then three more this morning.
They appear to be going down my AS contact list - one this morning
was to "abuse".  They are now blocked here.

All four advertising their DSAV - Destination-Side Source Address Validation.

And I have had filters blocking my IP from outside my network for over 20 
years.  Also block anything leaving my network that is not my IP (and log

I have learned to almost love Sta-BIL 360 Marine fuel stabilizer.
Use it in our golf cart, boat, motorcycles, lawn mowers, anything
that can (and likely) does sit for any period of time with ethanol
fuel in it.  It seems to actually work.

We had to set the sensitivity (sp?) setting on all our APC
UPS to medium (drop from default of HIGH) or they would
not accept the generator current (would stay on battery).

Possibly like our UPS, we have to change all of them

Re: [AFMUG] RV Park Fiber

2020-06-12 Thread Larry Smith
Lived in Germany for three years late 60's.
My landlord and his wife both had tatoo's from
prison camps (they were German but did not agree
with Hitler).  Some of the stories they told would
give me chills.

Was back in Germany early 91 to late 94, and
again both my landlord and his wife had prison
camp tatoo's.  He would not talk much about it
but she said "You got in line and if that line cooked,
then you cooked but if that line dug graves then you
dug graves or later someone would be digging yours!"

Been to Auschwitz and a couple of other camps.
Didn't sleep for several days after.

At one time one of them (AP/SM) was 1.1 and the other was 1.2.

Walmart, Kroger, Dollar General - they (or more specifically
their plastic bags) are your friend here.  Slip you hand into
a Walmart (or whoever) bag, touch what you need to, discard
the bag.

Especially handy when pumping gas and trying to push all the
buttons on the keypad that they deliberately put recessed into
the machine far enough you have to touch all sorts of things just
to get your debit card into - and then back out of.

Most mail software deals with this correctly, and go straight to the IP,
afmug.com MX is af.afmug.com, but af.afmug.com has no MX records.

Without seeing the actual error message he is getting it is all guesswork.

Re: [AFMUG] Router vulnerability

2018-11-15 Thread Larry Smith
True on pretty much all counts,
but, when dealing with certain "audit" agencies
(especially for banks), if you have anything other than
a name brand (Cisco ASA) firewall then you have 3,987 more
pages of paperwork to fill out and justify your reasons/selection.

 We maintain several, you just keep a virtual PC with each version
of ASDM and the appropriate JAVA (they only talk realiably to one
specific version for each version of ASDM) and there's nothing to it.

Worked a lot with DEC RP-07 drives (washing machine).
Believe they were seven platter, and when a head "crashed"
it generally acted like pin-ball and took out all of them.
The tops of ours were light smoke color so you could watch
the "excitement" of all the heads and various parts bouncing
around with little you could do about it until the drive stopped
spinning (the top would not open, probably a good thing)...

May be, but under US Law (Uniform Commercial Code)
a check is a "promisary note" and as such a contract to pay.
You can easily take someone to court over a bounced or bad
check.
