  Re: broadband finally comes to my part of Knoxville
 
So what is the advantage to the router versus just putting a $90 ethernet switch on your broadband output device?? Paul (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: monitor
 
(...) Knocked it over face first on some 'sharp' items on the desk when I was trying to fix some cables. I'm learning to look past the defect until I save up some money. -chris (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) (2 URLs) The easiest way to go is to get one of the prebuilt disk images from the Steinkuehler site -- just put it in, boot up, configure a few things via the menu-based interface, and go.

  Re: FS: 6950 (MIB) and 6951 (MISB) !
 
(...) Frank, of course you're right about this. It wouldn't be the first time a reply to an email gets sent before the original email, if you only check the email-time. (This happens usually around the switch from daylight-saving time to normal (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: FS: 6950 (MIB) and 6951 (MISB) !
 
(...) Just a little friendly comment on this (FUT: lugnet.off-topic.geek), the only thing you really can use to distinguish who sent an e-mail first is to use the order in which you received them. It is trivial to alter the time sent (since it is (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: monitor

  Re: Figure This One Out... Kinda Neat
 
(...) Well, I'll have to disagree with you on that one. I always put two spaces in between sentences and I always will. I find that it looks cleaner anyway. Cheers, Tom (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: broadband finally comes to my part of Knoxville
 
(...) The way I did it was definitely less hassle. $179 at Staples - plug it in and 10 seconds to "configure" it. Sure, I could have slapped a couple of NICs in a machine (in fact my main Win2k dual 566 *has* two Intel Pro 10/100 NICs and used to (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: broadband finally comes to my part of Knoxville
 
(...) I have a cable modem and hung a NetGear FS105 5 port switch off the cable modem and hooked up the kids computer and my computer off the switch, no configuration changes to Windows after adding the switch. I am also using Zone Alarm on both (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Private boards?
 
(...) Some groups I am in use it as well, we use many of those features and the price is great. Have you figured out how to get egroups to emit a digest of all messages still archived? We have so many messages that the web interface is a bit much, (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) No, you're right. I don't understand how you're confused. If it was my original assertion that it might have been the UUNet network that was causing the suck, well... You got how traceroute works completely right. But something to keep in mind (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) OK, well I am confused now. I thought that since tracert can't really ask all the routers on the routing to report interroutter times, that what it displays is the time from where the trace is run to that particular router, one router after (...)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) D'oh, what the heck am I talking about. No, you're right, Lugnet searches aren't necessary at all, either way. It's been a long time since I've done any DNS stuff, just ignore me on that point. eric (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) I was under the (incorrect?) assumption that the lugnet server performed the lookup for the new domain as part of the jump.cgi process. If it is, in fact, your machine doing the lookup, then no, Lugnet traces wouldn't be needed, natch. eric (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) Here's something else I noticed: Bricksmiths.com doesn't reverse resolve. I fed the Looking Glass the IP address for both sites, and it automagickally knew that 209.68.63.236 was lugnet.com, but it didn't know that 63.217.235.34 was (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) why do you need traces from lugnet to wherever? the jump.cgi doesn't get the data for you, it just redirects you to your desination... so the connection speed between lugnet and your target is immaterial. btw, if you want to try another host, (...)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)

Hate to follow myself up continually, but I thought I'd show you what I meant with a snapshot from your original trace to bricksmiths.com from your client location: 10 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms so-7-0-0.XR2.LND2.alter.net [158.43.233.246] 11 10 ms 10 (...)
