[H] File date/time stamps

2009-03-31 Thread DHSinclair
I am trying to figure out whether my machines have MS08-067 installed. I think so, but I can not be sure. When MS posts their file specs, do they use UTC or local PST for the date/time stamps of their files? The file in question is: w2k - Netapi32.dll v5.0.2195.7203 310,032bytes XP - Netapi32

[H] Making my own network cables

2009-03-31 Thread Bobby Heid
Hey, I was thinking about buying 1000' spool of cat6 (to future proof) cable, connectors, and the tools to make my own custom cables. What tools do I need beside a crimper/cutter? Do I need a tester? I was looking at these crimpers: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=10

Not that anyone should still be making crossover cable in the days of auto-MDI/MDIX... FWIW, I use B simply because it is, as you say, more popular. Most generic patch cables I've found are B. Keep in mind that stranded cable is generally recommended for patch cables, and solid for runs. Stranded

I guess I should have searched before asking. Sorry. For other that may want to know, my research shows 568B to be the most popular. Either one is ok as long as both ends are the same UNLESS, you are making a cross-over cable. The you would use 568A on one end and 568B on the other end. Thanks
