We will generally just be using iPlayer. I'll try Chrome on the machine tomorrow.

Hi folks,

I'm setting up a screen to just play video such as YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Netflix so on so forth. I have initially tried Ubuntu but get issues win Firefox with Flash, HTML5 video.

Any specific flavour that would make a great workstation for browsing and streaming different types of video online?

Hi folks,

We are using dialer.exe/TAPI to make calls via our phone software Xarios to Mitel 5000. Every once in a while dialer.exe goes in to 'Not Responding' and I cant get rid of that without a shut down and clean boot. Today, once workstation is keeping 'Not Responding' within dialer.exe even after doing the above...

Any ideas whats going on here? I had a look in Event Viewer before with no luck. Dialer.exe seems to be an only program, should we be using something else?

Best,
Jim

Being generally pissed off about how crap Cloudflare support are, especially when a problem is clearly theirs.

@scottalanmiller said in MS Volume Licensing/Renewal:

There should be no issues switching providers. I'd recommend PCM, too, we've gotten some seriously good buzz about them. I've got a UK contact, too. Just spoke with him this morning.

Thanks Scott. I expect that we would see no issues, just want to be comfortable about it before giving the go ahead. Generally, do you just provide new supplier with the agreement ID of the existing subscription and they then sort the rest after payment?

Hi folks,

Our yearly volume licensing is due soon so i'm getting quotes (UK). Our existing provider is quoting £4,000 before VAT more than expected (Insight UK), we have been using them for years, whilst another provider has quoted a far more reasonable price, £4,000 less to be exact (Softcat), which is the expected total that I had in mind...

Our licenses expire end of month, do you foresee any issues switching provider? I imagine its the same as purchase through Insight UK however I have not changed provider before and want to make sure that paying through another provider wouldn't be any risk?

Has anybody had issues switching with a month until expiry of licenses?

Best,
Jim

@scotth
Traffic is allowed on x and y. I know that, lets see what support say. Its the other direction i'm wondering. Thanks though.

This is what we use. PBR says the default route for the server is x.x.x.x. < thats fine.
What im asking is if the communication comes through y.y.y.y will PBR be ignored and the message transverse back through y.y.y.y as the source?

Opened case with Watchguard

I'm using a Watchguard M300
