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...

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...

Yes of course, I did it

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi all, It's been a while I wasn't here but let me first say that I really appreciate this site, its reviews, forum and great articles. Actually, before I buy anything PC/network-related, I take a look here for advices. Here I am to ask advices on free network traffic monitoring tools...

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...

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...

Thanks for the link but I knew it and precisely after reading that site that I wanted to ask you about MTU and various tweaking options to know if you use them and how they work for you.

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...

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...

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...

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...
