    WoL needs to unplug/replug the power to work!

    Hi, I've been using Wake On Lan for few years without any problem on my W7 x64 and an Intel 82567LF-2 Gigabit controller inside the motherboard. Now since few weeks, it doesn't always work. Sometimes I must unplug the power cord (when PC is off) and re-plug it. Then, sending a magic packet (by...

    some apps doesn't work on one of two access points

    First, thank you very much to try to understand the problem. Yes, I agree 100% with you that the problem is in the main router as the second router is configured to work like a switch (cf. link you provided). If I said when the iPhone is on the second router (switch)'s SSID, everything works...

    some apps doesn't work on one of two access points

    Hi, I have two wireless access points, one is my router and the other is a linksys router I use as a switch and access point (that is, nothing connected to the WAN port). Obviously I have two SSIDs corresponding to each wireless, say SSID1 on my router and SSID2 on my linksys switch. Some...

    a free dynamic dns advice ?

    Not yet, I have to create an account on no-ip.com first. You mean you don't put the provider name i.e. "no-ip" in your router and rather you just put your attributed domain name ? If yes, that would mean you're not dependent on a particular provider. This is exactly what I wonder is not the...

    a free dynamic dns advice ?

    Hi, I'm on WRT610N router and until now used its dyndns function with a free account on dyndns.org. Problem is that dyndns no longer offer free services and my router only supports TZO (not free) and dyndns. I searched the web and found no-ip that seems ok with free dyndns service. What...

    Home LAN traffic monitoring tool

    OK, thanks, I should have mentioned that my switches are GS108E and that I already wanted to configure port mirroring as you described. My problem is not how to do it physically; I know how to do it but I just want a piece of free soft analyzing all the frames passing through that mirrored port...

    looking for a DAS enclosure

    Thank you very much for the suggestions. I was already reading BitFenix reviews witch seems to be good for what I want. I have yet to read the other two ones. One think I don't understand on BitFenix (but also true for other mITX cases): Since these cases only support mITX MB, why they...

    looking for a DAS enclosure

    Hi, sorry, there is no DAS section. I'm looking for an enclosure for mITX MB format but big enough for at least 4 3.5" HDD, a DVD/Bray drive and one SSD. Since I may use it also as an HTPC (attach it directly to my TV), I'd like big fans in order to lower the noise. Having in addition...

    setting MTU on Linksys WRT610N

    Actually I am on PPPoE and having 1500 Bytes default on my ISP connection gives me troubles i.e. I can't see some sites... However you're right it is just for the Wan side since 1500 Bytes size is fine for LAN (maybe unless for jumbo frames ?) and doing it on the PC would also impact inner...

    setting MTU on Linksys WRT610N

    Hi, The questions relates to the WRT610N a wireles router, thus I ask it here. It's possible to set the MTU size in the router setup configuration. However, all around the web there are people and tools that set the MTU size in the TCP/IP stack of Windows (or other OSes). My questions...

    looking for a 16-port fanless gigabit switch

    Hi, The only switch roundup I found in the site (which I always consult before any networking purchase decision) is the $250 roundup dated back in 2007! Is there any plan for a new roundup ? I'm buying a 16-port gigabit switch and I liked the Dell PowerConnect 2716 (only the 2708 is...

    WRT610N backdoor CLI for WOL

    Hi, After unsuccessful attempts for WOL (wake on lan) from Internet (WOL from LAN works ok) because of the router dropping any directed broadcast (to 192.168.x.255), I was wondering if there isn't any backdoor command line interface to the WRT610N router, something Linksys engineers would use...

    best options for file access over Internet

    I saw that article about securing RDP but it was from 2006. Since then RDP has been improved on security points; although I know most of everything is encrypted, I don't know if the login/password phase is in clear or not. Streaming music is good enough for me and I think I could do it just by...

    best options for file access over Internet

    Thank you Osamede for the suggestion. Actually I heard about it and also though about online storage & backup but the problem is (as you wanted to know) I want to access to all my multimedia files i.e. ALL my music, photos, videos, etc. not just a subset and I'm on ADSL meaning little upload...

    best options for file access over Internet

    Thank you Tim for the quick answer. Although I understand the security risk for HTTP, lots of NAS software come with a built in web server letting share photos & music. Are these all not secure ? I took a look (fast look) on your rsync article. Well, apart from encryption, any and every...

    Hi, What is the best option to access my files at home from Internet ? I want to access my files (essentially musics, photos & videos for streaming or copy) residing in my home PC, from work or from other places when in vacation, over Internet. The following solutions come to my mind...

    wireless bridge recommendation please

    This is one reason. But USB sticks can only be used with computers. I think there will be more bridge products in the future because more and more CE devices now have ethernet ports (e.g. TV, game consoles, etc.) and you can't use USB sticks with them. Recently I was looking for HomePlug...
