Re: [H] Media Servers

Finally this weekend settled it in the place where it will stay, now I'm looking for something to send my media files to it. It does have a VGA input, so the computer on the other side of the wall can run video to it, but that's awkward. So I figured on some kind of media server. Is there anything good out there? I've seen a bunch of Linksys units on Newegg that handle a large amount of formats. As these good? Incidentally, my first time watching HD (now two Sunday's worth of football), I love the detail and especially how much more of the field you can see. But I also noticed that Hi Def can show you things you don't want to see. I'm not talking about blemishes or cuts/bruises/blood. I'm talkingNOSE HAIRS. Amazing how much of that I can see now.;-) Ah, but I really want to know what people are using for media servers. Thanks...Steve

[H] Remote office questions
Hi All, Not strictly hardware but in the ball park. We currently have 1 office with a single W2K3 Domain. We are planning on moving our production environment to a co-location facility. My question is: Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I remove the production machines from the domain form a new workgroup, restructure permissions etc OR just stick another domain controller at the Co-Lo site and run the domain over the wan link. I am not asking HOW to do these things I can set it up either way, just basically wondering if anyone has any idea's, thoughts or experience with this kind of setup. Thanks, Don
RE: [H] Anyone want to swap games?
No it's just slow at work right now. I'd say it was about 8 hours on the 3rd hardest of the 4 levels and I would say I am a good/very good (not great) FPS player. U unemployed/single or was this game that fast to complete? winmail.dat
[H] Anyone want to swap games?
I picked up Call of Duty 2 on Tuesday and ran through it in a couple days. Anyone have any of the newer first person shooters they would like to trade for it? I like the single person campaign shooters as some days I just can't stomach getting online with all the kiddies for multiplayer action. Games I want to try include: Gun Brothers in Arms Basically anything with a good single player campaign. Don
[H] [OT] Any BGP4 experts on the list?
I have a few questions about removing BGP4 from our setup. I did not set this up, at the time we had a network admin. I am looking to remove the BGP4 and replace it with hardware load balancing. The hardware part is all worked out I jus have a few questions on the removing of BGP4. Thanks, Don

These are some of the reasons we are going to the hardware solution.
Not sure if you have budget but F5, Radware and otehrs have hardware
solutions that allow everything you are asking for.

Let me hijack the question while we are here.
We have a bundled dual T1 via SBC, and a single via another provider;
we use BGP4 and a couple of Cisco's to make sure failover works. It
has been tested by some real failures... it works
(I have even been asked about a Cable connection as an extra insurance
policy.)
Question: What would it take to extend this to do load balancing? On
certain predictable days of the month we push the limit on the dual
T1; I would love to have that spill over to the backup T1.
Can that be done?
And, unrelated question, can BGP4 be implemented over Cable? Can I
give this site a non-phone-wire backup? ('Cause if SBC ever REALLY
took a hit, it would knock out my current backup too.)

First off, why are you using BGP? It is usually used to backup the
same
block of IPs INBOUND (assuming you have more than one Internet
connection).
What exactly are you load balancing? Inbound connections to a server?
I presume you wanted to load balance to even the usage of each
incoming
Internet connection.

RE: [H] [OT] Any BGP4 experts on the list?
Thank you, This is the advise I was looking for. From my research I gathered our ISP was responsible for the routes. Am I correct in that only our failover ISP will have to be notified. The primary advertises the same routes no matter what.

We use it only for failover between two providers, so I don't think our experience will be applicable.

Thanks, Don You might want to talk to your ISP first. If the ISP relies on your routers to announce your networks via BGP, then pulling it out will make your network unreachable. Make sure you let the ISP know you will no longer be announcing your networks through BGP, so they can throw static routes to the proper T1s. Then you can remove the BGP configuration from the Cisco routers so it is clear that you are no longer using BGP. Note, that it is not completely necessary to remove the configuration. Once your ISP ignores your BGP requests, it does not matter what your routers tell them. -- - Carroll Kong
