    Things to do/see in Brisbane, Australia?

    ViewSonic VP201b TFT

    I just switched to DVI, and of course got myself a much sharper picture. Recommended.

    ViewSonic VP201b TFT

    So far I've found one pixel that looks red on white background and light in colour on darker background. I'll try some darker background in a while. I'll also be trying out the DVI connector tomorrow, which should make this even better looking. :)

    IBM Mini dock and KVM

    I'll try both of your suggestions. I'm using an usb mouse at the moment, and I've only tried booting with the kvm on that channel so far. Mouse port is checked, as is the cable and another channel on the kvm.

    Addition wanted to the rules of conduct.

    Of course it won't beat SCSI! ;) (Hunching down, running for his life.....) (Yelling from a distance) You're right, every once in a while when I visit SR, there is always some RAID stuff before I'm halfway down the first page. Search anyone? Google? (donning bulletproof vest and kevlar...

    ViewSonic VP201b TFT

    Yiiiihaaaaa, I just got the above mentioned 20" TFT home from work. It is to be used with my laptop, mini dock and ADSL connection to work in cases of emergencies. And boy does it look good! I'm using it through the KVM at the moment, but I'm very tempted to try out the DVI cable to my...

    IBM Mini dock and KVM

    I've got a mini dock at home for my T40. I also use a D-link 4port kvm to which my 3 computers are connected, as well as the mini dock. Problem is, the laptop won't boot if the mouse cable is connected to the dock (the other end in the kvm). When I take it out, everyhtings fine. The monitor and...

    ftp working with linux clients but not windows clients.

    PPPS this upgrade did not make my speed on the gige network any better, I'm still howering at 10+MB. I haven't tried a crossover cable (don't have one at the moment !!!! :eekers: ) . One possibility is the zyxel gs-105 switch, maybe it's not so hot? Is it the same as netgears 105? Looks...

    ftp working with linux clients but not windows clients.

    After many hours of tcpdumping, and tests from windows and linux clients, some peculiar differences came up. From linux clients, a normal tcp handshake was done. Syn -> syn ack -> ack. From windows clients, it looked like this : syn -> syn ack (from my computer) -> syn ack from my computer, and...

    ftp working with linux clients but not windows clients.

    I've used pure-ftpd for a few years, and been quite content with it. Sorry I omitted your question there (very important one, as you mentioned) , I was in such a hurry. :( Yup, all ports are by default forwarded to my server. No problems uploading and downloading from the linux clients. And...

    ftp working with linux clients but not windows clients.

    I just put pure-ftpd as a server running on my linux. It uses a non standard port, and I need to give it my real IP, as I'm behind my ISP's NAT. I'm using only passive mode, as ports below 200 are not open (ISP). When people log in from a windows client (say ws_ftp as program), they can...

    Matrox P650

    Please do, I've always wanted to get a Matrox for myself, but haven't. Mostly due to the fact that I've played games also. Nowadays that doesn't seem to happen so often, so I just might try one out on my main rig. I already swapped the Geforce4 TI4200 to another box, and replaced it with a...

    NFS on Winblows

    As it would only run on an internal network on my 3 machines, I'm not too worried about the security implications of NSF (security meaning, that only by spoofing you IP you can get access to all data on an NFS share, you might even be able to have root access on the share, you might be another...

    As an explanation, some of the people here have some alter egos (They just don't drink enough Stroh I say...or too lax medication ;) ). Seriously though, they make me atleast LOL quite often.

    Swapped cards. Now both have an about equal speed, varying between 11-15MB/s. I just swapped the cards, neither LInux nor windows seemed to have noticed anything. So I have no explanation about why the speed was so bad on the other one yesterday. I wonder what the problem is, as I do expect to...

    NFS on Winblows

    I'm thinking about using solely NFS on my home network, and hence the question: Do you have any favourite NFS clients for windows? What about servers? If you've done this before, what recommendations/opinions do you have about this? I'm using 2 Linux hosts and one WinXP host.
