1 ping computer 2? both computers are connected to wireless network
successfully. I can get to internet on both of them. I just can't
ping each other. weird. maybe they think that's a feature?
\_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

2008/11/11-26 [Computer/Networking] UID:51916 Activity:nil | 11/11 Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
know about the transfer between the two computers right?

2008/5/31 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/Unix] UID:50105 Activity:nil | 5/31 I have a slow wireless router and slow fileserver on my network.
Is there a video or media player (windows or unix) that is smart
about caching content while playing it? I would like to be able
to hit play on a file from a file share, wait for it to catch
up for a while because my connection is so slow, walk away for
a while and come back and view my movie with no annoying skips. thanks.

2012/1/4-2/6 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:54281 Activity:nil | 1/4 I want to test how my servers behave during a disk failure and
a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman
\_ According to the Linux RAID wiki, you might be able to use mdadm
to do this with something like the following:

2011/9/14-10/25 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:54173 Activity:nil | 9/13 Thanks to Jordan, our disk server is no longer virtualized. Our long
nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

Just kidding! (I hope)
In any case, this means that cooler was taken out back and shot, and

uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
\_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
taught us. Everything is "stateless".
\_ You;d think gamers would care more about uptime.

2011/2/18-4/20 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54044 Activity:nil | 2/18 Why does the system seem so sluggish lately?
\_ Slow NFS is basically always the answer. --toulouse
\_ Any truth to the rumor that soda will be decommissioned this summer?
\_ Absolutely none. Soda might go down temporarily while disks are
reorganized and stuff so soda doesn't suffer from such shitty
performance nearly as much, but no, we've gotta maintain NFS and

2 questions, on linux when <disk>==hda it always gives me this off

Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
for testing purposes? Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
disable the rest the copies?

2009/7/28-8/6 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:53216 Activity:nil | 7/28 Does it make sense to defragment disks on VMWare? My 80GB disk
on VMWare isn't really using 80GB, it just uses what it needs.
Will defragment do anything to it?
\_ If you want to speed up disk operation in your VM, it's best to
defragment the disks in your VM, then defragment the disk on your
host machine where the VM files are.
