    Internet through switch, but not through wall port where switch is connected...

    You have got a lot of connections - it might be that there is bad connection between a cable and a wall plug, or a cable and switch. I have had once a bad cable - any strange effects happening. ________ NEW MEXICO MEDICAL MARIJUANA

    Home network connections are very slow. Please help

    40-60 mega bit or mega bytes? If it is megabytes - this is perfect. If megabits - then this 100Mbit link speed. If your router and network cards have separate lights for GBit link - check them. Check the net adapter properties, is the link set to Auto? Also try using another cable...

    NAS with AD integration

    IMHO you would not find any NAS appliance powerful as the server you have now. Even though it seems quite old. But you may build a computer to use as a server instead of the current one. Use a gigabit network switch and adapters - it would give you immediate 2x - 3x boost in speed. And when...

    Trojan In Firmware?

    I would use instead Process Explorer and TCP Viewer, both freeware, to scan the PC and see what processes and ports are used, and NMAP to scan the router. Given up using LanSpy - crashes every time. As for the trojan - why do not use any freeware anti-virus program to scan the PC. I have...

    Trojan In Firmware?

    I am not sure what exactly this info means - may be it is that the trojan os on your PC but has opened the port shown? Another observation - this utility keeps crashing when I start in on my laptop, and try to scan my router. Anyway, I do not think there are trojans able to infect linux...

    Building High Performance NAS / HTPC

    @Tyrix, yes, I do use the boxed cooler of the CPU. I find it ok, silent enough for a living room. Mine MA78G-S2H is rev.1. The northbridge was quite warm, I glued a 4cm fan on it. Had to use an adapter for the back fan, as rev.1 motherboards have only 1 fan header besides the cpu fan...

    Building High Performance NAS / HTPC

    I use the same motherboard MA78G-S2H, RAM and CPU. This is very good combination, and it would serve anything you want. I use it connected to a TV for gaming (I added also HD3850), for movies, and for torrent downloads. It has an eSATA port so you could easily add external storage and use...

    Dlink DIR 655 no gigabit speeds

    Yes, this is completely normal. I also have Buffalo Linkstation Live and a laptop with a gigabit port. Both are connected to a gigabit switch - the speed is exactly the same, up to 14 MB/sec. When I had them connected to a 100Mbit/sec switch, the speed was 6.5 MB/sec. It is due to the...

    Wireless with 5 ethernet ports?

    Some of them have one or two ports, but I have not seen anyone with more than four. So you could just add a switch with as much ports as you need. ________ Apple games

    Mixed speed devices on network...

    The switches are pretty much the same, using the same electronics. No way to have magic throughput increase. If you think your throughput is low, look for other reasons - e.g you use laptops, their hard drives are usually slow. Benchmark them. The switch cannot pass data at a higher speed than...

    Is it risky to put the NAS next to a router?

    Thecus is looking for your NAS wishlist

    - put more RAM inside, 2GB would be great - somewhat more powerful CPU, may be Geode - Gigabit port, real speeds 50 MB/sec. Otherwise SATA connection is needed to copy large data to/from a PC - usb print server - pre-installed or easy install of additional applications, like bittorrent, web...

    China Cyberspace Attack

    Take it easy. It happens all the time, 24/7. It is not about China - the attempts come from all over the world. And in some cases these are computers - zombies, their owners even do not know they have trojans working and used to break in to other computers. Make sure you have as less as...

    Midte MDT-PM318S - HDD Media Player

    Symptoms of being hacked? Please help!!!

    A valuable tool in this case is tcpview, freeware from sysinternals. It will show you the active connections, inbound and outbound, and the ip addresses and ports. When you do not browse internet, you should have very few open connections, and you will be able to identify them by ip / port- e.g...
