Heads up on that triran I agree, and i should have clarified that. I do normally give every device locally a static, the only reason the printer at the moment does not, is I've recently set the subnet to something other than is was forever, and the poor printer, the voip device and one workstation were left behind ( no excuse aside lazy ) - As soon as someone messages me 'I can't print and this is due today' - I'll jump on it, because what you say is exactly what happens. I'm working on a non windows PDC , (not strictly samba) for a cross platform infrastructure , that should share the printers and eliminate the issue. And likely create another at the same time lol

My sentiments exactly. I suppose in cheap switches like this, who really needs to 'get in' /sarcasm I could drive myself to oblivion attempting to get in sometimes. What am,azes me is the utter lack of consumer discussion out there on this line of devices. Aside this , I can take almost any store bought switch and telnet into the thing, but this pup is still evading me. Although, I have set a static IP in pfsense, which spat out the manufacturer ID - little steps lol

Just to add a different perspective ( hopefully not confusion ) to Mr.yukons post Most local static assignments would be considered as DHCP reservations, depending on the appliance of course, and so long as the reservation assignments are outside of the DHCP range. Here's part of my local mess, the blue highlighted are auto DHCP addresses assigned by the DHCP server |range| , where the others are static reservations assigned via mac address, or physical network device. However I am curious Mr.Yukon , what devices allow setting static, reservations or otherwise within a DHCP range ? Mind you I don't do a lot of 'home devices as of late to be in the know on the reasoning or possible conflicts of that. I have not seen any device that function this way, or am I completely mis understanding the basics of reserving IP adresses, and how a dynamic ip server functions ? The printer should not NEED a static IP for the iPhone to catch it , this sounds more like as Mr.Yukon touched on , a hostname forwarding/ caching issue.

Windows 7 running as a virtual machine - on proxmox , accessed on OSx through RPD -

Skip 'MS-office' and use Libreoffice. It's all I use and or reccomend. Hell it's where ms-office and several others are derived from . The MBP is a great machine , I love mine , even though it's getting grey hairs

Looped the dgs 1224t through a cisco 2900-xl and used putty to watch the startup , using a serial connection ( standard cisco cable ) Assuming I might be able to see the arp cache , which i can after the IOS startup. But it shows nothing from the switch. lol It's an old switch yes, at the same time, so what, I should still be able do something with it besides a gigabit hub. Searching drink ftp, either the firmware is hidden or they simply never released it. Not that I could at this point even get a connection to flash it .

Yea Ebrown I caught the promo for the new mac pro - GEEZUS! Although I find this a bit jumpy, looks like some ionic air filtration system. http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ None the less progress I suppose. And this likely means I'll be looking at those used boxes going up on ebay. Always wanted a mac pro. And yup tommie all invested for sure , I have stacks of hundreds of images and icons made on this machine in the past 5+ years. All bought and paid for. Hell they paid for the machine first year, second year bought Photoshop , this past year bought CS6 and handfuls of other applications. That and it still pays for the internet service, ext .. ect.. ext ...

Give it a time Tommie , I dare to bet with his intelligence it won't be long before he's singing something like ' my graces I'm so much more productive ' ! Just sayin' , rarely anyone does not soon see the astonishing differences. Especially if this reasoning is for a job or career related situation.

Yes dlink forums have always been shit, since they switched years ago, entirely worthless. The FW and REV. is on the bottom ~ HW C1 | FW 2.00 Now what is actually there , if anything is anyones guess. Running nmap to scan in the given local range returns all live hosts, I did a wildcard scan took all day , incidentally killed the process after dinner {and a few cocktails} , suppose I'll run this from the FW appliance shell as root ( less apt to just close a window since no window to close lol ) I suspected a bad reset switch , but the unit does 'reset' and boots. Normalk CPU activity light, and like I say , excellent as a dummy Gbit switch. So it's not bricked per se' , possibly someone has set to only restart the switch when reset is pressed, not revert to default. Hence the nmap scan to locate the IP range it's hiding in. I do have vlan's set up , as I've had my hands on switches which can only be accessed through a vlan. However unable to configure this within the switch itself renderts that solution useless. The switch was obtained from a commercial sale, I do from time to time buy up office equipment in bulk, resell and discard / recycle what garb is left.

I agree with triran. The MBP I purchased in 2007 is what I'm still running on today. 10.8.4 Outdated C2D 2.4 Ghz 4GB , runs like a champ 8-10+ hours a day constant, local repositories (git) , apache / SQL , homebrew, layers of applications such as CS6 , coda, transmit, a few shells, safari and firefox ect ..... Now xcode slows it up, yet after a short time say 20 minutes xcode smooths out. Aside that one or less 'bounce' dock icon before application is running. And thats 6 years old well beaten up system. These things can't be stopped, eventually it's inevitable , but what slows these things down is the storage, the hardware is amazing. You'll do extremely well with an SSD, at some point I may put one in this thing. Right now a 750 GB 7200rpm sata spindle. So for the money with the hardware you'll be getting I give it ten years from purchase date until you are really ready to do something. Assuming there are no catestophic hardware failures, which no one can determin that timeframe.

Yes I have seen the PDF but thanks for the link. I have tried that IP, even reset the entire subnet to reflect. From windows to linux and OSX machines nothing see's it or connects to it. Used a crossover cable to get a dump, each time the local card leases itself an address since the switch is acting entirely transparent. One though it someone wiped the firmware, at the same time would this not brick the device if done incorrectly and render it useless ?

K, who has the goods on telnetting into a dlink switch, I have my cisco callable everything I should need / serial +/- usb support , windows : osx : linux google is failing me on this one. Without being able to access the device via mac or IP, let alone getting jack squat from a TCP dump ( likely due to a VLAN previously set up on the beast ) Uhhg ! lol

I obtained this switch which works fine as a gigabit device. However resetting it via the external reset switch , appears to reset by the looks of the CPU light , as well as all current connections are reset. At the same time , the switch is still unavailable via it's default IP. The network is running within the same subnet as the default IP, I have also set the mac address ( obtained from the case itself ) to it's static IP within the firewall / network appliance, as well as tried others , within the same subnet. Using the 'smart console utility' , the switch also does not get noticed. Even typing in the default IP, it flags it as null. Using arp -a on the firewall appliance lists all static addresses, since there are so many, IF the mac was in the arp tables, I could not see the listing, to see if it has assigned itself an IP due to some human error on my part. Manually arp {mac address} returns 'unknown host' The switch is pretty much useless without the ability to configure it. Outside of course a gigabit hub , for what I have going as i say , useless. Idea's of any kind are welcome ! thanks edit: it has no serial port either, telnet is out (being TCP utility and I have no IP ) thats out edit: I've also tried a tcpdump by isolating the device running a crossover cable with the following command ~ tcpdump -i en0 -s 0 -B 524288 -w ~/Desktop/DumpFile01.pcap It would appear as if the device is not listening for any DHCP server , acting as one , or accepting any commands from anywhere.

Uhh yea ? Geezus very nice !

And consistant as anything !

I know a guy that used to put the executable in the 'X' because he knew people would be clicking it lol pretty sure he bought a harley off that one.

Haha yes for some reason I have an addiction to domain names. If I say how many I hold it might prompt a quick session at the TMN therapy room. Be careful, although I know you know what your doing , but sometimes it's better if you have a good 2 or three letter domain name, to get it to an auction. At the least toss up a quick page somewhere to see how much attention it might get.

I'de be all over it. Where do I dump my domain list ? lol

I feel your pain. Although at the moment I am not having issues such as yourself with the ISP, I have been in your position. Possibly most of us have. As many surely are with you. Aside this , i think your spot on from your description, a company trying to make it , at the same time supplying the masses with access, not always the best when starting up.

Haha , well yes, they will eventually come out with a statement no ? I mean hell , it's in their main search, this is not a simple item where someone posted something nasty, it's got to be more than that , no ? Even understanding that sphinx or any search database will index what is posted, damn, no keywork blocks of any kind ? lol

Hahahaa, geezus WTF Verified this myself, now i did reach a for sale domainsponsor page , but no porn actually, one page accessed there are more. I'm stunned ! I mean what is the purpose aside selling a few domain names, and getting terribly full of clicks on a parked domain. I would dare to bet dell has not idea. If they do, all is lost and we are over the edge of recovery as a species

lol yes , anything that holds data has security issues, let alone attached to a network. But you knew that. I do appreciate the humor, some people claim this OS or that OS is more secure or unable to get nasties, my opinion is the systems you have to watch out more for real threats , are unix / linux kernel based. Why ? 90% in my guesstimate of all windows malicious software is either for getting you to buy something, be it some malware that claims you have a virus and stops you from performing a task until you do what the application tells you, or to make you a part of a botnet to better serve large data mining companies, much less attack a corporate network. Where on the other side, think about the 'know how' one who uses or utilizes the unix / linux platform must have , and what are they after ? You don't know because you never or rarely see it.

Man I would love to know what was causing that. Has to be a default BIOS detection against a windows monitor detection / update, no ?

Great, glad you got it sorted. You also pointed out a failure of mine , I should have asked if you have your username correct, it's much easier in person , sometimes on forums, people get all hot -n- bothered " of course i know my user name duh " lol Enjoy your file sharing locally

I cannot answer directly to your issue, at the same time , I have run into issues where no password causes a plethora of issues with windows networking , especially sharing / domains / ext Sounds as if one XP box is accessing the user account , and another is trying to access the admin account , so depending on how you set up your windows 8 box, home / work ext .. the admin account could be disabled by default.
