Hi All,
I am trying to download the latest Cisco VPN Client for OS X. I get
here:http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12696
I click to download, I get redirected to Cisco, I create an account, try to download again and they tell me that I need to have a valid technical support agreement to get access to the software.
Really? How do they expect us to VPN into client networks?
I need to get all our home content off individual machines and onto a central server. What I'd like to have is the metaphorical "server under the stairs".
Stuff we need:
expandable storage. I want to be able to add extra disc as we go along, with minimal maintenance required. Currently we've got about 3Tb of files we need to host, and that's likely to grow by another Tb every 6-12 months based on recent history. I need to be able to add additional disc with minimal pain
needs to store all the media (i.e. photos, video, music) we have, and run services to serve the various devices we have in the house to playback (e.g. DAAP so we can play stuff through iTunes, ccxstream so we can play stuff over XBMC). DAAP and ccxstream are needed now, but we also need to support new standards as they emerge (so a closed-box solution isn't going to work)
RAID 5, or something broadly equivalent (e.g. RAID-Z)
BitTorrent client
ssh, NFS, Samba access
snapshot capability (as in ZFS), so we can snapshot individual file systems regularly and rollback when my kids delete their school assignments the day before they're due...
ability to recover quickly from power outages (it's not unusual for us to have power outages that last longer than our UPS' batteries)
FOSS software
a modern distributed version control system running on the box, such as Mercurial
Stuff I'd like to have on the server, but can live without:
PVR capability, so I could record TV to the box
Web server. We currently run a small Web server on a very old box, and I'd ideally like to turn the old box off and move the content to the new server just to save some electricity
Nagios + mrtg
I've been looking at using a EEE Box as the server, primarily because I can get them cheap and they don't consume much power. The choice of OS and file system is more difficult, from what I've found:
I've got most experience with various Linux distros, but am happy to use another Unix
FreeBSD and OpenSolaris seem to be the best choices for hosting ZFS
OpenSolaris' hardware support is nowhere near as good as e.g. Ubuntu
btrfs, while looking very good, doesn't seem ready for prime-time yet
ZFS doesn't let you (easily?) add new discs to a RAID5 or RAID-Z
reading around, it seems that ZFS is a bit short of tools for recovering lost data
At the moment, I'm leaning towards running FreeNAS+ZFS, but I'm concerned about the requirement to be able to add new disc on a fairly regular basis to an existing RAID-Z.
Can anyone provide some recommendations, or share experiences?
Thanks in advance

I'm going to be buying 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM. I don't think I can run 5 so I'll just remove the single gig of RAM that I have in now.
How can I tell if my motherboard will support DDR3 RAM? I ran CPU-Z and have a report made.

We are serving files with the .xlsx (excel 2007/2010) extension. IE, Chrome, Safari all download the file and open excel just fine.
Firefox is being stupid. For some reason it's appending .xls to the extension. I found this: https://support.mozilla.com/bs/questions/758363
However, the instructions weren't very specific and completely unclear to me.
How can I tell Firefox not to screw with the file extension?
Thanks,
How to change the window title of private browsing option in Firefox? When I use the private browsing option it shows up in the title as Private Browsing, is there a mechanism to prevent not showing that information, but still be in private browsing mode.

I have just enabled bitlocker using a flash drive without TPM on windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Just to be prepared - is there any way I can recover data from an encrypted volume in Windows 7 ultimate.
I found links for BitLocker Repair Tool to help recover data from an encrypted volume for windows vista and windows 2008 here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928201 but did not find anything on microsoft for windows 7.
But did not find any for windows 7 Ultimate.

Why is yahoo mail behind in security, they don't support https yet. Gmail and many others do, I'm shocked that yahoo still doesn't have https? Why is this? What is the logic behind not supporting https in their mail client?
Without configuring apache to support SNI, can I purchase a SSL cert and use on a Centos Linux server that has 2 name-based Vhost? I'm only interested in securing ONE of the two domains. Could this be configured in the httpd config file, such as maybe listing the domain that needs to be secured, first etc?
I know SNI can be used for multiple certs on a single server with multiple domains. In my case, I'm only interested in securing a single domain.
Hi,
I am trying to control a desktop (HTPC) using my laptop. I currently use Teamviewer, but it is pretty slow. I used to use window remote desktop connection and it was pretty fast. The problem with window remote desktop connection is that it does not support realtime. By "Realtime", I mean it does not display what I am doing on the computer being controlled.
Any suggestions?
I'm looking for a web hosting to my iPhone app.
My needs are as following:
* PHP5
* MySQL5
* curl
* shared SSL
* CRON
* Fast support
* Money back
What do you think about those 2: IX Web Hosting and HostGator?
Do you recommend working with one of them?
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks
The title says it all ; What I'd like to have is for example an "albums not played for the last 3 months" playlist, that I could sync onto my ipod.
The long story is on apple support forums for those interested.
Ah, and yes, I have read the Managing Your iPod With Smartlists document (PDF) (non-PDF link)...
I have "installed" Archboot on my macbook air, and I am getting screen problems after it loads UDEV, it is last thing I can read.
Basically I am following this instructions. But then I got error that when installing grub legacy. Something about that it has no support of gpt. And I cannot find anything about bios-compatibility.
P.S. it only took one try too install it on macbook 6,2 and few dozens in macbook air without results.
I am making the switch to VoIP. I chose voip.ms as my service provider and Mediatrix 4102 as my ATA.
One reason why I chose the Mediatrix over other popular consumer ATAs is that it's supposed to be easy to place it in front of the router, so it can give priority to its own upstream traffic over the home network's upstream traffic. This is supposed to work transparently, with the ATA and router sharing the same public IP address (the one obtained from the modem).
They call this feaure Transparent IP Address Sharing, or TAS. Their promotional brochure describes it like this:
The Mediatrix 4102 also uses its innovative TAS (Transparent IP Address Sharing) technology and an embedded PPPoE client to allow the PC (or router) connected to the second Ethernet port to have the same public IP address, eliminating the need for private IP addresses or address translations.
I am interested by this feature because my router, an Apple Time Capsule, doesn't support QoS and cannot give priority to the voice packets if the ATA is behind the router.
However, after hours of searching the web, reading the documentation, and good ol' trial and error, I haven't been able to configure the Mediatrix to run in this mode.
Then I found a version of the manual that looks like it was for a previous version of the firmware (SIP), where there is an entire section dedicated to configuring TAS (starting at page 209).
But my Mediatrix comes with the DGW 2.0 firmware, whose documentation does not mention TAS at all.
So I tried to follow the TAS setup instructions from the SIP documentation and apply them to my DGW firmware, using the Variable Mapping Between SIP v5.0 and DGW v2.0 document as a reference, but no success. Some required SIP variables don't have an equivalent in DGW.
So it looks like the DGW firmware does not support TAS at all, or if it does they are not doing anything to help us set it up.
So right now, the Mediatrix is behind the router and VoIP works perfectly except when my upstream bandwidth is saturated.
My questions are:
Is downgrading to SIP firmware the only way to have my Mediatrix 4102 run in TAS mode? If not, anybody knows how to setup TAS on the DGW firmware?
Is TAS mode the only way to give priority to the voice packets if I want to keep my current router (Apple Time Capsule)?
Thanks!
Is there a free Winamp plugin that can change the pitch of the music by a number of semitones? The ones I've found are either not free or too old.
Alternatively, what others music players support this feature natively or as a plugin?
Is there a secret way to bind MySQL to more than one IP address?
As far as I can see the bind-address parameter in the my.cnf does not support more than one IP and you can't have it more than once.
I want to use Google talk, but I don't want it checking my email and notifying me of new mail all the time. I can't see how to switch it off, but it seems like the sort of thing that should be an option. Am I missing something? How can I switch email support off?
Has anyone tried connected outlook(I am running v2007 on Windows 7) to a mail service using the MS Exchange Active Sync protocol? If so, how did you do it?
Wouldn't this solution probably eliminate the need for all the hacks/APIs needed to connect outlook to 'X' mail (Gmail, notes, etc)?
I know it is intended for mobile devices, but to me it looks like it is becoming the latest 'de facto' mail protocol for email/calendar/contact sync'ing due to the iPhone's support for it.
Thanks!
find has good support for finding files the more modified less than X days ago, but how can I use find to locate all files modified after a certain date?
I can't find anything in the find man page to do this, only to compare against another files time or to check for differences between created time and now. Is making a file with the desired time and comparing against that the only way to do this?
Is it possible to backup the System State of a 2008 server without using wbamdin? The setup in question does support the requirements that wbadmin forces (all volumes are marked as critical).
Third party tools are an option but I would like to keep away from the big money sinks (BE etc)
