@LG-at-ConnectWise said in ConnectWise Control (ScreenConnect) Free:

Gotcha! This would require a service ticket - once you enter that, send me the ticket number and I can follow up and make sure it is addressed quickly.

Support has been on it and I tagged you in the thread with details.

A DNS level approach is very resource efficient because your gateway box does no heavy lifting. So you gain a lot of security without affecting performance.

Is that true? DNS requests still go out and fail, causing traffic on the router and delays for the users. Blocking on the router is actually less resource intensive because the router blocks the traffic entirely.

But how does that work with processing lists of URLs? Hundreds of thousands of URLs in a black list (potentially)

I suppose if you are still allowing and getting lookups but only then blocking and put that on your firewall instead of on the proxy, then that would be a small hit.

I think you might have failed long before you come to this point.

Why not back this whole thing up.

On your website that talks about your services, have a button that says - test my connection to make sure this service will work for you. have you web team install their own speed test - thing - and you can do a test directly from your own system to make sure they won't have any issues because they even look any further.

The issue with this is that we could potentially loose clients without even knowing about them. And we can still provide our service, just a less bandwidth intense variety of it.

Maybe just detect the speed and adapt accordingly.

Our system does this already, and the result is an unacceptable live product. There are other solutions, but others put the cart before the horse here and bought expensive software and are determined to "make it work".

LOL - sunk cost fallacy

Yes it really is... I had a solid solution, explained why, and for 1 minuscule reason it was veto'd. Yet it offers us the best option, without the need to worry about the clients internet bandwidth....

so... just ask "how fast is your internet?"

It should pop up and prompt you for a username & password, but as @scottalanmiller mentioned, these should exist on the Nextcloud server.

Are you able to actually access the data when you enter your username & password when it asks?

@scottalanmiller said in Dell Power Edge R330 Issue: CPU 0000 CPU1 Internal error (IERR):

The error says to contact support, I'd start there. While waiting for them. I'd do routine testing... reseat everything, pull some memory out, etc. If it is not time sensitive, I'd just wait for Dell to get back to you.

I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for Dell chat support.

@Dashrender said in Chat system like skype:

What's wrong with Skype? Why not just use that?

Many MLers use Telegram, There's also Signal

He said inside. Leads to the assumption that he wants self hosted.

Yep, he did, I was just curious what the reasoning was - perhaps low bandwidth, etc... only my curiosity.

@hobbit666 said in Unifi Switch adventures:

So what is the difference between the Unifi Switch and EdgeSwitch? Apart from the management from the Unifi Controller ?

There isn't suppose to be much difference. Beyond that, I really can't tell you.

Thanks all , but if anyone gets it , may write his review or comment on this course so that i can improve it 🙂

Thanks

@Texkonc said in Ubiquity EULA:

TLDR; but you read the EULA? HA!

Well, it is very short, and in my defense, like I said I read about that sending of the data on an Amazon review. Had to see it with my own eyes.

OK I found my issue.

I have several VLANs but I'm only providing DHCP for two of them, As it turns out, my Cisco 4400 wireless controller was handling the IP Helper -address portion, not my router.

My router didn't have a helper at all.

Once I added the helper IP to the router, all is well, at least on the laptop. Now to test wireless.

I guess up config release and renew didn't work for a lot of people.

Someone pointed out that they put an update out online for people who can't get online.

@Son-of-Jor-El said in "Scheduling Has to be Approved in Advance":

Honestly, Scott, I was perfectly fine with going with January, just don't try to put the blame on me about some kind of scheduling that needs to be approved because I said all this from the beginning. They act like this is some sort of a surprise that needs a change order. B.S., they knew.

Knowing that this would occur on a weekend in the first or second week of Dec is not the same as a hard date. Assuming that only today are you telling them a hard date of this weekend - then no, you didn't schedule it in whatever window they wanted. Should they have told you that you need to pick a hard date to get this on the schedule, sure, where they required to - probably not.

No, I wouldn't spring it up on them like THAT!! We talked about the dates back in November and I told them it was going to be a weekend in October. Plenty of time if you ask me.

I think I got my question all answered. You can do it both ways. 😃

Woot.

@Dashrender said in Windows 7 share - accessed from windows 10:

Sure, but you shouldn't need to map a drive to make a connection.

His weirdness is that that
\server ip\sharename never gives him the option to give a username and password like we are accustomed to.

I'm sure it's an updated security thing in Windows 10, for example a newer version of kerberos, etc.

I wonder what net use z: \\server\share /user:server\user would kick back

I think if you add /persistent:no to it, you will always get a prompt if I remember correctly

Net use does the same thing your GUI pictures above does.

aww please share the list. but start a new thread - Gene's new laptop thread.

So the question is how long ago did this client make these ISP changes, and does the time correlate to this 12 week time frame?

@JaredBusch said in Wazo 16.16 First Look:

Not seeing anything in the Wazo documentation on how to set this up either.

In the early release, definitely is looking like it is a bit hard to use. It's early though, hopefully that stuff will follow soon.

@quintana said in XiVO - Open Minded Telecom System:

@scottalanmiller Can you give me more detail. How did you install it?

It's on the other thread as well, but it is just a generic ISO based install on Vultr.

Yea, being very explicit here is what would protect the company.

IE No overtime will be approved, unless with explicit written consent from you manager. Any overtime not approved beforehand will be viewed as a breach of company policy, repeated breaches of company policy are subject to disciplinary action.

Edit: ... disciplinary action. Up to and including termination.
