    Access Control?

    Thanks. It was also what I thought until a friend of mine had a baby-sitter trying to do something funny with his network. He had a few attempts to access an internal file server in his SOHO auto-blocked and logged. Could be harmless like a script-kiddy trying to prove what she can do with...

    Access Control?

    Hi there, Need a bit help choosing a router/UTM. I am going to replace my Linksys WRV200 router at home. I am aiming at a wired dual wan wired-only router with SSL VPN. The present network has a few switches here and there, some dumb and some smart. I wish to have some sort of network...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    Thanks, MadKing, for your helpful input. Have not tried using another PC to monitor the ip cam, so you could be right. But don't know why CPU, RAM and traffic flow usage as reported by NAS remain way below max'ed out. I had no idea what Wireshark is so you know I am noob in every sense. Have...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    Hi Tim, Just bought a HP ProCurve 1800-8G managed giga switch. It is being replaced by HP's 1810 series and hence price cut. Cheaper than Netgear GS108T in where I live. Unfortunately, it does not help at all. I got stuck in the exact same problem with the dumb Level One and D-Link...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    Thanks again. I have indeed read your article although I doubt if I understand all. You are right the NAS has no setting to disable flow control. Will a smart switch (same thing as managed switch?) help? What about Netgear GS108T, which is readily available where I live? Other...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    Thanks, Tim. I have 9k enabled at NAS and PC and the switch supports that too.:confused: I tried disable flow control at PC but makes no difference. Kelvin

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    So I thought, Tim, but NAS CPU usage is always below 60-70% and network usage shows incoming traffic to NAS (the video stream) constantly at 400-500KB/s only. From these two indications, the NAS does not seem to have max'ed out......unless the NAS by design will significantly drop outgoing...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Answers below:- 1. It goes back to normal with samba speed between 20-30MB/s. No more video stream pulling from ip cam to NAS through the switch. The blinking of the two lights for ports linked to NAS and ip cam slowed down dramatically. When...

    Gigabit Switch Blue.....

    I got a strange problem. Not sure if it is real or I am just chasing ghost. I have a simple home network. ADSL modem connected to my wireles router (Linksys WRV200, not giga speed). I also have a PC (Asus P5Q Deluxe) and NAS (Synology DS207, firmware 2.2-942), both with gigabit LAN. I do...
