    Please help me choose the right switch!

    Thanks for your explanation on STP Scotty. It's all clear now. In any case, this indeed seems to be something Sonos should be able to get around, with a nice firmware update. But on their site they've just put the 1800 under the 'incompatible switches' with 'no solution'. That's just the...

    NAS Performance, is a PC Better?

    This performance issue was exactly the reason why I opted for Windows Home Server instead of a BYOD NAS device. Unfortunately, the performance of that OS completely s*cked as well. (see my post about this here) For this reason I'll probably also go for a 2003 server setup now. Sure, it's...

    Please help me choose the right switch!

    Hi Phil, I've read some very mixed reviews about that specific Linksys switch. Some love it, others seem to hate it and the number of them not doing what they are supposed to do seems to be pretty high. I must be honest: I've never been a big Linksys fan. They may be owned by Cisco now, but I...

    Please help me choose the right switch!

    I have to be honest here: I myself have no idea what STP is or does. I base my info on the Sonos website itself, but also on the feedback given by customers when they buy at NewEgg (very handy infoo sometimes). One of the users has this to say about the ProCurve 1800 (and I quote) "For some...

    Please help me choose the right switch!

    Thanks for your responses so far! Scotty, I may be mistaken, but is the ProCurve 2500 series not a 100 Mbit series instead of Gigabit? I really need the switch to be Gigabit. This is indeed the reason why the 1800 series does not work. Just follow the links I provided in my initial post...

    Please help me choose the right switch!

    Hi Guys, I’m going to start building a house this year. I will implement a lot of home automation into this house. The home automation software I have chose is very open and IP based. So essentially all home automation commands and data, ranging from light buttons, power outlets...

    Different Google Ads box?

    It won't Tim, just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for taking the time to respond so extensive to my 'complaint'. :)

    Login idle time

    Tim, I've noticed this forum does not allow a logged in user to remain inactive for a long period of time. After ten or fifteen minutes or so, the user automatically gets logged out. This happens often to me because I usually read these forums at work, where something unexpected can...

    Different Google Ads box?

    Tim, I could do that, but this means I would need to maximize the window on my 17" monitor. (which I don't need to do for any other site) And even then, the ad still takes up about one third of the space to the right. I'm all for ads and I understand sites need them to survive (that's...

    Different Google Ads box?

    Here at work I can only use IE.. :o

    A Mobile World - Buying a 3G iPhone

    Here in Belgium the first iPhone was not available (officially). The reason for this was because it's forbidden here to sell both the phone and the subscription as a package. Now the 2nd iPhone will be available, but only in the fall though. I have no idea what's keeping them. If the...

    Different Google Ads box?

    The current Google ads box to the right of the forums is way too wide. It narrows the forums down to an uncomfortable width. Could this Google ads box be replaced with a Tower model or something? Cheers!

    Meda-Centric Home

    What's the advantage in using this Mythbuntu over the 'plain vanilla' MythTV?

    What's a good router these days?

    Agreed. Regular DVD quality wireless streaming works pretty well on most hardware, but HD streaming can be a serious pain.

    Too many boxes!

    If you explain it to your wife, you may find that CEH (Cost of Expensive Hobby) supercedes WAF. Buy the switch. :)

    WRT600N Issues with Microsoft Home Server?

    Is there a uPNP switch in the control panel of your WRT600N? If so, might be best to enable it.

    Which NAS do you use?

    Since this week, there's now also the Via Nano CPU, which uses a bit more power than the Atom (5 watts), but also packs a lot more punch. And today I've read about the Nvidia Tegra, which also looks very promising. (full 1080p decoding @ 2.5 to 4 watts!)

    What router is best for my needs?

    Another vote for D-Link DIR-655 here. Excellent router, with an excellent featureset. Price is ok as well and it contains a gigabit switch.
