Nov 30, 2012I was updating my Graphics driver (Nvidia Geforce GT 440) today and it asked me to update the other NVIDA things as well that I have. Apparently one was an Nvidia Nforce ethernet driver or something... So pretty much I chose yes. "Installed the Nvidia Network Forceware" thing it said. All of a sudden, my icon down at the bottom right went to a yellow caution sign (Limited/no Connectivity)... Thats where I'm stuck. I tried some of the following:Uninstalled that Nvidia Network Forceware thingWent to Device manager and played a little with it from other forums. (This is how I got my "Caution sign" back...at first it wasn't even showing my local network connection.)System Restored about 7 times...Nothing is working and I really don't know what to do about this situation.[CODE]
View 1 Replies View RelatedLAN Set Up Versus WLAN
Jun 28, 2012I run my business from a home-office, and have a program that operates off a database.This database is run on what I'll refer to as the "server" computer.I have other laptop and desktop pc's that run this same program, but are referred to as "clients" since they don't house the database and only pull the data from the "server".I can connect wirelessly through my WLAN, but the connection is slow due to the database server. However I am told that a wired network would increase the data transfers tremendously between the machines.I have plenty of ethernet cable and a brand new switch.I run windows 7 64 on all machines that I'd like to connect.What steps do I need to take in order for the "client" machines to connect to the "server" via the LAN and not the WLAN?

Mar 9, 2011On an ASA 5505 with the proper licenses running version 8.3, which would you consider the more resource intensive for the ASA, IPSec VPN or an SSL VPN with a portal?
The connections through the firewall would be the same so I am curious how adding the different types of VPN will affect the CPU and overall ability of the ASA to function.
Ethernet Versus Serial Interfaces Work?
Dec 6, 2011I know serial interfaces are called that because they put bits on the wire serially - i.e. one bit at a time. If that's the case for serial interfaces, how do other kinds of interfaces, such as Ethernet interfaces, put bits on the wire? Do they somehow put more than one bit on the wire at a time? I assume it's a faster process, but how so?

Cisco VPN :: ASA 5505 256MB Versus 512MB
Nov 21, 2011recently I had a power cut in the office and my Cisco ASA 5505 512MB Base 10 user License stopped working.it was not possible to establish L2L VPN.I replaced it with another ASA 5505 with 256MB RAM Base 10 user License.I restored the configuration and everything is working now.The main problem is that before (with the 512MB ASA) I had two L2L tunnels established and many clients (up to 30 clients)using the two tunnels. Now with the 256MB ASA when the clients being in the L2L reach 10 clients,the other clients stop working inside the VPN, they cannot reach hosts which are on the other end of the L2L. This could be due to te less amount of RAM ?? Otherwise I can't explain this behaviour.Could I solve this buying the 50 user license upgrade ?But in my previous ASA I had the Basic 10 user license and everything was working with many clients reaching hosts behind the two tunnels.

Everything is working fine according to the below configuration.

Cisco WAN :: 6509E / Default Routing Versus BGP
Jul 16, 2012We have configured BGP on Cisco Switch 6509E, firewall module on the switch is making nat for all users,but users is not going to internet yet, I do not know hot to configure 6509E to give internet access to users.If I route default route to FWSM,then BGP will not work? If I route default route what is the meaning of BGP then?
I do not want to write static route because BGP should work (4 ISPs redundancy)
How to let users to go out to the internet throug BGP, but nat is being done on the firewall module on 6509, routing is beiing done on 6509,to to configure it?
Palo Alto 2020 Versus SonicWall
Sep 6, 2012So my company is replacing firewalls. In our EU HQ, they went with Palo Alto 2020 models to take the place of Cisco PIX and an IBM IDS box.However, as I'm responsible for the US branch, I'm re-evaluating their decision for our office. We currently have a Cisco 5510 and the same IBM IDS box behind it. Everything works, so I'm wondering if a PA device is worth the upgrade cost, but on the other hand, you can't really put a price on security. The application control, IPS, anti-virus, etc etc are all cool features that might be worth implementing now.
My questions is - why is PAN so expensive? As an example, Sonicwall's NSA 3500 with similar specs are coming in at 1/3 the price for the same feature set, and lower yearly cost. I've seen the demos, and the interfaces are both pretty slick - at least compared to what I have now. The all have the gateway security features and Deep Packet Inspection so what am I missing? I know PAN is all the rage right now in the networking world, but it seems like they're somewhat riding the fanaticism from their marketing teams - similar to Apple customers. We could also debate the differences between what's marketed as UTMs and NGFWs, but from the "black box" perspective (what comes in, what goes out) - aren't they more similar than different?
If I ran the office, I'd also look at Untanged and other vendors, but my boss wants something with a little more brand recognition. Anyway - I'm asking the Horde what's up since I'm not a networking guy by trade - more sys admin - but this office is my responsibility.

Cisco Linksys Ea4500 Versus Asus Rt-n66u
Jun 18, 2012Does the CPU speed make any difference?I'm reading that the Asus offers great Wifi Coverage - which is nice cause both the wife and myself use the laptops a fair bit.. However - most of my devices are currently on a wired setup..through a belkin 1gbit powerline setup.I run a NAS for storage - a separate machine for media serving, 2x ps3s for media streaming a seagate HD+ media player + a sonos bridge and my desktop on the wired setup..As for wireless normally I'd have 3 Androids along with 2 laptops & 5 sonos players...

I might have been talking rubbish there - I was sure I'd read somewhere that the Asus unit had a whopping 1gb ram installed vs. the 256mb of the Linksys/Cisco ea4500 - however looking at the specs again, both read @256mb.

View 1 Replies View RelatedD-Link DIR-825 :: Virtual Servers Versus Port Forwarding
Jan 31, 2012the difference between Virtual Servers and Port Forwarding on the DIR-825? I'm transitioning my router setup for a Tomato/MLPPP router to the DIR-825 and I'm a little confused on when you would use "Virtual Servers" and when you would use Port Forwarding? In the past, I've always relied on port forwarding to allow access to specific services on my LAN (ie. VPN, Apple Remote Desktop, etc.), so again, unsure what the Virtual Servers is used for?From what I can tell, Virtual Servers is for services that require a single port for communication (ie. a basic SSH setup on port 22) while Port Forwarding allows for the setup of services that require multiple ports (ie. VPN on ports 500 [UDP], 1701 [UDP], 1723 [TCP] and 4500 [UDP]). Is that the differences between the two configuration pages? It just seems odd to me to have two separate windows for just this difference? If that's the case, is there any reason I couldn't just use port forwarding, even for services that only require a single port (just to keep everything on the same configuration page, under Port Forwarding)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCisco Application :: ACE 20 (ACE 30) Versus 4710 Appliance Reliability
Jun 21, 2012In 2008-2010 timeframe, I used the ace 4710 appliances at one customer and kind of liked them. The deployment was not too SSL intensive and B/W requirements were low, but I configured a few HA pairs and that worked well. The configuration was pretty comparable to other Cisco devices; so easy to learn/pick-up.Fast forward to 2011: stepped into an environment, where customer purchased 3 - ACE 20 modules (before I got here), and had multiple issues with them. I found 4 documented TAC cases, and 1 was still open. I started working from December 2011 on getting Cisco to own-up WRT modules but customer by that time had had enough.
The most serious issue was a random reboot, hang or lockup. I wasn’t here to work with them to verify, but that’s eventually what the deal breaker was. Around the February 2012 timeframe, talking to Cisco SE, he revealed Cisco had an independent lab in Switzerland verify that some hardware component on the device had a terminal defect, in which a bit would flip, and force the device to lock or reboot - subject ot radioactive decay or interference.Cisco and the lab attributed this to improper shielding, coupled with defective material in the electronic component; hence the device was highly susceptible to radiation-type errors. This is the kind of stuff you read in doomsday reports! As a result, Cisco was EOL-ing the ACE-20 module. I am trying to get Cisco to replace the ACE-20 modules with something else, but they haven’t been too cooperative. They have also limited their SE/Salseperson presence where I work (Pacific Northwest); and are not too responsive.
I have gotten a verbal agreement to get a credit on prior purchases for the amount this customer spent on the ACE-20 modules. However, the credit is only a few points off their normal discounting model. And Cisco will not go into loss on new product sales. Using example, $100 product would cost me $55 with standard Cisco discounting. Cisco’s cost might be $45 so I will only get another $10 credit on this new purchase.The 3 Cisco ACE-20’s originally cost customer about $100K, so to dwindle this credit down, we would need to purchase about $1-$2 million of new hardware - that's a lot of new gear! And I don’t have any real way of knowing that Cisco is applying the credit honestly, and they won’t put anything in writing. This entire issue has really dampened customer’s impression of Cisco. They had smartnet on the ACE-20’s for 2+ years, but then dumped that after losing faith in the product. Now I am trying to resurrect smartnet to see if Cisco will give us an alternate product.
And to cap it all off, the original Cisco salesperson (who sold customer the ACE’s), has left and went to work for F5! And yes, he has been calling on customer to try to sell some big-IP's! At least there is some humor in all of this. So... Has anyone else had bad experience with ACE-20 module? How about ACE 4710? How to get a reliable working ACE module from Cisco?
Cisco Switching/Routing :: 892W / LAN Versus WAN Ethernet
Feb 14, 2012I own a Cisco 892W router. The router has 2 WAN ports and 8 switch ports. Now I know -
-WAN ports can create sub interfaces, assigne IPs, cannot be assigned to a VLAN - sounds very much like a routing port. (sh interface gives - Hardware is PQII_PRO_UEC)
-Switch ports are for VLAN assignment, trunking, IP assigment etc,. (sh interface gives Hardware is Fast Ethernet)
I know they are different but at the same time confuced what the difference are? I also know on some 3xxx series switchs you could say "no switchport" and translate a switch port to a layer 3 port. But on 892W you can't do this? Struggeling to understand the difference.
Cisco Routers :: WAN / ISP Configuration - RV220w Versus 2951-SEC/K9
Sep 26, 2011We are planning on testing a new ISP provider in our company but we have the following doubt: This new provider is using a Optical Fiber line (GPON – PT Prime) for this new internet connection and we already have a Cisco RV220W router but they are not sure if that can be used, so they just informed that they a capable router is the Cisco 2951-SEC/K9, that they are selling of course. So our actual doubt is if the Cisco 2951-SEC/K9 can have some “extra” WAN configurations/authentications that are not available in our Cisco RV220W and that can implicate that we cannot use our RV220w router?

Cisco WAN :: 1841 - Named Versus Numbered ACLs
Dec 27, 2010In my test lab I am playing with the Numbered ACL's and Named ACL's. Both configurations are working BUT , I am sure I do something wrong in the Named ACL's version. When I reboot or reload the CISCO 1841 ROUTER , I do not have INTERNET anymore , I still have access by TELNET or SSH , but no external communication anymore. The only way to start the communication again , is by adding :
PERMIT IP ANY ANY . This will of course work , but the funny thing is that when I do a : NO PERMIT IP ANY ANY It still works !!!
I have learned by this to always shut down and restart my ROUTER or SWITCH to see if everything still work . Here bellow some parts of the working Numbered ACL's version :
ip ssh time-out 60
ip ssh authentication-retries 2
ip ssh port 8096 rotary 1
ip ssh version 2

Cisco :: BGP Aggregate-address Versus Static Summary Route
Sep 16, 2012I have a layer 3 switch with a bunch of SVIs all in the 192.168.x.0/24 range. I just want to advertise a 192.168.0.0/16 summary to the BGP neighbors. I can do this either by:
1) Redistributing connected into BGP and then using the 'aggregate-address' command to advertise the summary.
2) Specifying a network statement in the BGP config for every single SVI, then using the 'aggregate-address' command.
3) Create a static route to null0 (ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 null0) and put 'network 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0' command in the BGP config.All three fulfill the same purpose of summarizing all the SVIs, but creating the static route is much cleaner in this case. It seems like the aggregate-address command is mostly intended for routers that are aggregating connections coming from other routers and all of them share a common prefix.
Linksys E1200 Wireless Download Versus Upload Speed
May 28, 2012I have a Linksys E1200 router, which replaced a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The WRT54G ran perfectly, but did not support wireless N, so I replaced it with the Linksys E1200. The router is physically located in a good spot, up high and centrally located in my house.Problem is, my download speed on my android tablet, xBox, iPhone is very slow, yet my upload speed is screaming fast.
Wireless: Ping: 30ms, Download 1.93Mbps, Upload 6.27Mbps.
Wired: Ping: 14, Download 17.88 Mbps, Upload 6.7Mbps.
I've changed channels on my router, changed channel width. Connection type is DHCP. My security is WPA2. I use the wireless MAC filter (allow only these MAC addresses access). No parental controls, I don't use port forwarding or triggering, and my firmware is up-to-date. why my speed changed from the older router to the newer router?
D-Link DIR-825 :: IpV4 Versus IpV6 Implementation For Remote Access And VPN?
May 16, 2013I currently have ipV4 as the setting on my DIR-825. Other posts seem to want ipV6 which is more secure but is not possible with a DIR-825 Rev A1. I have two routers, a primary router (DIR-825 Rev B1) capable of ipV6 and a secondary router (DIR-825 Rev A1). If I implement ipV6 on the Rev B1 router but keep ipV4 on the secondary router, will this improve the security, or will it just mess things up so nothing works?Certain devices (cell phones and most Tablets) don't deal with ipV6 very well at all. The ones I have tested flat don't connect to the wireless network if the router is set at ipV6. Is ipV4 adequate for a Home/Small Business Network when trying to implement Remote Access and VPN?
