    Re: File/Media server on Windows 2008 Standard 64-bit

    I did the SLI just because I had a box full of those cards that I polymodded. That system is in my other work room under the bench. I do flick the monitor on every now and then...but no, I don't use it for anything beyond its file serving, backup, and some other network services. That machine is a freight train, you just can't stop it. there's 6 HDD's in it now, the 160gb pair shown in the pics, for the OS. Then there's 4x 1TB WD RE's in there, in 2x 1tb mirrors. One of those arrays is dedicated to nothing but my MP3 stash.

      TC, quick question: do you really co-own a datacenter? Do you have a pic (or 2 or 20?)
      thanks

          Except for the hardware RAID configuration mine is a little more powerful. But it's interesting to see that PIII machines are still in use...

              Yes, I am a part owner of a datacenter. Sry, no pics. next time I go down there, I'll try to get some.

                no, it is a whole 'nother project... if it were a new server, the agp requirement wouldn't have existed. the PIII will live on!

                    A few issues:
                    1. I hardly ever wear shorts.
                    2. Why would they be on the wall?
                    3. It's not my mom I'm worried about. Just people breaking in when I'm gone for a week (which would be unlikely because I never travel)...
                    Then again, I might be going to AU eventually, so it would be useful...

                      Do you really have to ask about the shorts???

                        Windows sharing is the simplest but not necessarily the fastest method of transferring files - ftp would usually do better at large transfers but with your "server" configuration, it would really make no difference.
                        no. SMB is short for server message block, its not like a packet type (like udp, tcp) it exists at a software layer next to these packet types

                        SMB was developed before samba, samba got its name from its abbreviation.

                          Windows 2016 server L2TP/IPsec VPN - two subnets
                          by Fireballcz
                          Hello, please how to properly configure VPN in this environment?
                          I have two subnets in two different (geographical) workplaces, connected via IPsec (thru gateway routers)
                          Main subnet: 192.168.11.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.11.1, Windows 2016 server (VPN, DHCP, DC etc.) 192.168.11.3
                          2nd subnet : 192.168.22.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.22.1 - just client computers.

                          I need to allow external (home office) users connect via VPN server (192.168.11.3) to the 2nd subnet (192.168.22.0/24) to their computers (via RDP).
                          I have no problems with VPN connection...

                          DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error re. old drivers in Windows 11 install image
                          by japlytic
                          In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

                          Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
                          • BIOS + database update
                          • Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
                          • Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
                          • Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
                          • TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
                          • Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)
                          ...

                          File server with PLEX?
                          by Hondaman
                          Hello,

                          Down through the years I have tried to have more convenient storage and backup. Recently, I have used a USB hard drive enclosure plugged into the back of my WRT-AC1200 router. But when I put photos on that drive, my local Win7 machine grinds to a halt. It takes a long time for thumbnail images to show up in Win7 File Manager, because I may have hundreds of photos in any directory I want to view. So I need to put the photos on my local Win7 machine. But I am running out of space.

                          Is the router giving the thumbnails from the USB drive enclosure to the Win7 machine...
