Braiam

night

Journeyman Geek

one of those things I find confusing - I'm running hostapd with my ethernet device and wifi dongle bridged. The MAC address that my router reports is for the wifi dongle (which isn't connected to the network at all - outside acting as an AP for other clients), not the ethernet adaptor

ekaj

downloaded the iso from MS but nooo ofcourse it's not vmware bootable

Braiam

@JourneymanGeek because the bridge synced both MAC's?

@ekaj it's syntactically valid

probably does

Can anyone think of a reason why plugging in a switch would cause none of my ethernet connections to work? My WiFi works fine.

The switch was working perfectly fine and then it just stopped working.

Anonymous

did you try switching the switch

Vaughan Hilts

No, unfortunately everythings closed here right now (11:30 PM)

And it's just suddently stopped working. :( I tried switching the cable connecting the modem to the switch (the modem is aN AIO switch/router hybrid)

why would you punish yourself fixing equipment if you can just apply warranty?

Vaughan Hilts

@PatoSáinz Well, I don't really \know\ if the switch is defective.

Anonymous

oh

Vaughan Hilts

All I know is when I connect it to the modem, all the ethernet ports on the router and switch stop working

I get "default gateway cannot be reached" suddently.

For all ports, including the one on the router.

@VaughanHilts: managed or unmanaged switch?

and does the switch do DHCP as well?

Vaughan Hilts

@JourneymanGeek amazon.ca/gp/product/B00BZABOTU/…

Looks like it's unmanagd

Journeyman Geek

I suppose not then

hmm

Vaughan Hilts

It's a switch though, so it shouldn't do DHCP

I get assigned an 169.xx when the switch is connected on all ports

I read up online it's like the "default" address or something

Journeyman Geek

05:40

yeah

thats a link local address, that means that something is getting messed up

Vaughan Hilts

Yeah

A switch just goes from one LAN port on the router, to the switch, right?

And that hsould be it.

Journeyman Geek

yup

I tend to use routers as switches tho ;p

very ghetto network

Seth

Any idea what this guy is asking and if you guys have a similar question?

Vaughan Hilts

Yeah, I dunno then. It's pretty hard to fuck up a switch configuration.

I'm starting to think the switch is shot.

Journeyman Geek

06:08

I wonder if you could test the switch with static IPs

with/without being connected to the main network

@Seth: he's trying to pxeboot

qwertie

What is the advantage of a static IP?

Journeyman Geek

it rules out DHCP issues, and with two computers you can do a basic connectivity test

You're stripping down the 'network', as such, to its bare essentials, so there's less stuff to break.

Vaughan Hilts

07:35

Ah yes. @JourneymanGeek That's a good idea.

Journeyman Geek

Journeyman Geek

in general, ethernet or 801.11 is a good bet ;p

Fuck this Firefox with its one open window! I closed windows with 68 tabs and then realized there was one window left. I closed it and that session did not get saved. All I could do is restore session before it.

Journeyman Geek

or check your history

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek To restore website one by one? It's not a list with website after website in same succession my tabs were. It is by access time.

cpx

08:07

It brings up a list of network interfaces.

Boris_yo

How do you disable selected ads with AdBlock Plus?

cpx

Okay I found it.

There's an API function available which returns the link layer code.

It says Ethernet.

Why Ethernet and not IEEE 802.11?

Bob

08:37

@Boris_yo it does get saved assuming no other addons

you just have to ctrl+shift+n to restore any closed windows

trust me on this; I am very familiar with how session restore works

Boris_yo

@Bob When do I press them?

Bob

@Boris_yo right after 'restore previous session', which should have restored the last window you closed

it saves up to 3 max

Boris_yo

@Bob Next time will do it. Now it is too late.

Journeyman Geek

08:57

@cpx: cause I suspect 802.11 is physical layer

cpx

Are there many different standards for ethernet frame structure?

This one here is different because of the the "Preamble" and "Start of frame delimiter" block at the start.

you call em up and tell em when you replace it.

If you have fiber for example, I seem to think they do it.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek If they whitelist a router, you can just connect anything downstream of the router with no issue, no?

@JourneymanGeek Was that a reference to one of the episodes in IT Crowd?

Oliver Salzburg

21:45

@Boris_yo 4 rows with 2 cells each but you have nth-child(3) and nth-child(4) rules? That seems weird

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg I also have nth-child(2) otherwise how would I target rows below 1st?

Oliver Salzburg

Probably with an nth-child selector, but on the table

nth-child selects the nth child, not the nth match

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg What difference would it make? Table or TR?

Oliver Salzburg

@Boris_yo The row is a child of the table

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg Row which is TR?

Oliver Salzburg

21:49

@Boris_yo Yes

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg And what is TD then? Child of TR but sub-child of TABLE?

Oliver Salzburg

It's sometimes easier to use a sibling selector to target a specific instance

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg Like tr:nth-child(4) + td?

Oliver Salzburg

Like tr + tr + tr should select the third row

@Boris_yo No

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg This is same as tr:nth-child(3)

Oliver Salzburg

21:52

@Boris_yo Still no

There's a difference between a child and a sibling ;D

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg But it works.

My question is how come italics and red color is applied to 4th row, 2nd cell but not 4th row, 1st cell.

The lower the code is, the higher priority it has. So why not override background of 1st cell?

tr:nth-child(4) td:first-child {background: #afe}
tr:nth-child(4) td {color: red; font-style: italic; background: #bdd;}

Above does not override last row with background #bdd
But, if I replace td:first-child with "td" - it works. Hmm

But why? Last line is more specific plus it supposed to override former line. All I did was remove pseudo-class.

Oliver Salzburg

22:07

Maybe because the first selector is more specific, so the style isn't overridden

You can always mark it !important :P

Why even set a background color on the first cell if you're going to override it later on anyway?

Boris_yo

22:21

@OliverSalzburg !important is like comment out? I think it gives less priority to CSS line.

Oliver Salzburg

...why am I even trying?

Boris_yo

Also CSS line where selector has pseudo-class seems to have higher priority than CSS line after it.

@OliverSalzburg Because that's how I learn CSS.

Braiam
