    Any rule of thumb for pipe size?

    My understanding was that mostly at different times and not many continuous access to house documents. It'll probably be more like retrieve, edit & save back after using COTS like word processing on their machine. There may be one software that they use to assemble forms (fill i nthe blanks) &...

    Any rule of thumb for pipe size?

    Thank you for your advice! I was thinking along that line as 5/5 & 10/10 levels are provided through bonding T-1. Good thing is bumping up speed won't extend their contract which they have 12 more month. Above 10, they offer through fiber and triggers new contract. Pulled quotes from other...

    Any rule of thumb for pipe size?

    Hello! My client is a very small office consisting of three fulltime employees. Currently they have a T-1 PRI for voice and any unused bandwidth at any given time is for the Internet. This makes it for a painfully slow internet access for the office. They could just add a business class...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    @RMerlin: Thank you again for that possible application to my situation. Unfortunately it didn't work (applied advanced Windoze ACL support, restarted & tested). Nonetheless it was worth a shot as oplocks relates to Windoze ... and I have another item on my troubleshooting checklist if I run...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    Thank you for the input! Interesting and another stone to turn come Monday. Interesting too since Oplocks is a windoze "thing" then maybe there's something to it even though it goes through SAMBA. Definitely a worthwhile thing to try :)

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    While waiting for reply got on the wire onsite and experimented some more in wireshark while capturing ... I don't know if these stats of "service response times" ... what are they telling me (if anything) as yellow highlights are the numbers different when running against a shared folder with...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    Duh, never mind the question. What was I thinking! Going to local memory cache to get data (Oplocks enabled) will not create network packets after the first initial access to load the file into memory while going over the LAN (Oplocks disabled) will. :oops:

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    Great feedback and thank you for taking an extra step to test the waters - greatly appreciate it! An update from my side: I finally got a call back and it wasn't from the current engineer helping me through the tix system (I have pleaded to him to call me back for several days already but it...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    Does any members have feedback on Synology support? I had timely support from QNAP during the time I was setting up TS-253Pro last year but I am experiencing something very different when I ran into this oplocks issue with TS-453A installation. Since this is only my second QNAP install I was...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    Thanks. Yes, that was the other option - basically (1) NAS or (2) another Windoze box were the options. When we found out and confirmed that QNAP can disable oplocks at root folder level, NAS was chosen. Additionally their use case of less than five concurrent clients and rest of data from COTS...

    NAS Advice for MSAccess DB Backend

    I did some packet capturing onsite. I've used wireshark before leisurely to troubleshoot but a novice at best so maybe these stats don't mean anything & I'm just making a big deal out of it and do not want to believe it. But to a novice something tells me that just turning off the oplocks on...
