    Basic networking question

    I don't know about the cable yet but most of my systems are gigabit and the router and switches are as well :)

    Basic networking question

    No assumptions, I'm probably just not explaining myself. Anyway, I've confirmed that I don't want to split the single cable as I go from gigabit to 2x100Mbps. I don't know if I have cat5 or cat5e - the place is fully finished and developed, so no I cannot replace the cables without tearing up...

    Basic networking question

    Hi, I have confirmed that I have cat5 running behind the walls (yay!) that is currently unconnected to RJ-45 connections. I am going to get him to do it but had a couple of questions: 1. The contractor's saying that you can basically split the cable run into two separate connections since...

    Looking for a router with VPN

    Hi, Although this is a question about VPN, I know I need a new router to do what I want, hence why I'm posting here! :) My setup and wishlist 1. I have a home connection with a couple of computers (Mac, PC, Linux) and three iphones sharing the connection 2. I would like to get a service...

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    Thanks, I'll give the 30/30/30 repeat a try this weekend. Any ideas on why or how I can get the Asus laptop working at Gb on the GS105? As I mentioned, my drivers for the laptop are up to date and there doesn't appear to be any firmware, so am I out of luck on that one as well? Thanks for...

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    No dice. I have reset to factory settings, with 1.40 loaded and I still cannot connect to my NAS box when both devices are connected to the DAP-1522. Just to confirm, I have flicked the switch to "Bridge" on the back and all devices across the entire network are on the same 192.168.1.xxx...

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    Thanks for the suggestion - I flashed 1.40, the latest firmware I could find, months ago but I didn't do a factory reset. I'll try this and report back. Thanks Chris

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    When connected to the DAP, the laptop can ping any device connected to the Billion, but when i ping any device also connected to the DAP I get the results as per below. Not really sure what that means - .4 is the laptop. How can I have 0% loss if none of the packets make it to their...

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    Thanks for all the replies and queries...and so quickly! In answer to the questions: Tim, any device that is connected directly to the DAP-1522 can be seen upstairs via my iMac (connected to the Billion). I can stream movies, see my Xbox, etc...Although I cannot connect (or moreover...

    Difficulties with gigabit LAN

    Hi, I have built my network as per the attached diagram. Unfortunately, as it is multi-level, I have had to bridge the D-Link DAP-1522 to the Billion 7800N wireless router. The devices connected directly to the Billion are upstairs, the devices connected to the DAP-1522 are downstairs. The...

    Examples of a mini-ITX FreeNAS build?

    I went with the AMD-E35M1-I Deluxe with 8Gb of RAM on FreeNAS. I don't get anywhere near the throughput you're looking for though - I'm getting somewhere around 80R 60W but then I haven't tweaked it. I liked the small form factor, passive cooling (although I opted to put very quiet fans in the...

    My first DIY NAS build attempt - HELP!

    Had a devil of a time getting the Asus 35M1-I Deluxe to boot from USB. It's user error. Finally got someone to figure it out... You have to select the USB as HDD under the USB configuration options (which I had done), then on the boot menu scroll down onto the second page of options (which...

    My first DIY NAS build attempt - HELP!

    As update, I've given up on the dream of getting 0.7 to work...too many issues for a newb such as myself to handle: 1. 0.7 didn't find the Realtek LAN port, unless I specifically loaded a driver - didn't know how to have that happen automatically, as the instructions given didn't seem to...

    My first DIY NAS build attempt - HELP!

    It's alive... It's alive! ...I need to fix the adapter to always load, the BIOS to load from USB automatically and then set it all up, but I'm into the webgui at least! Thank you, thank you! The problem was that my USB was FAT not FAT32 and/or when I tried typing ls da1* I only had...

    My first DIY NAS build attempt - HELP!

    My gosh, this is progress?!? Feels like two steps forward, three steps back! :P Thanks for your help thus far, I *am* making progress I know. I will check - the device I thought was formatted FAT, but I will try it both ways - easy enough to do I guess...I will check the device as well...
