Who half-assed this feature update? (looks at svn log) Oh, turns out it was me.

Chippies

guys, does anyone know why a router would detect a computer being connected through ethernet cable, but not give it IP, even if it's set to static in the windows settings?

cc: @Ash

you can see there's a PC connected on port 3 (on top part of the screenshot), but there's no connection (on bottom part)

I've tried re-enabling the ethernet adapter, I've tried ipconfig /flushdns, as well as /renew, I've tried setting IP to static or set by DHCP

MBraedley

That list at the bottom looks to only be for DHCP clients

Chippies

@MBraedley I don't think so, because ChippiesPC is on static as well.

nevermind, it's not on static

hmm

MBraedley

@Chippies I was going to say, since that looks to be in the DHCP range

Chippies

well either way, the other PC was getting a weird random IP from DHCP server

MBraedley

Settle down there, @NOPE

Chippies

@MBraedley isn't static IP and DHCP range the same? by default at least?

MBraedley

@Chippies NO! Static IPs should never be set to an IP within the DHCP range

Chippies

@MBraedley ah, well, learn something new every day

either way, I have no idea what killed the connection on the other PC... unless it was a windows update that happened earlier today...

MBraedley

20:12

Same subnet, yes, but the DHCP range should just be part of the subnet

So on my network, DHCP can assign from 192.168.2.10-192.168.2.100, which leaves ~160 static IPs to choose from.

Chippies

these are the default settings...

MBraedley

Yeah, cut that down to about 100 DHCP addresses. There's no reason for a home user to have more than that.

Chippies

I set it to end on 100, since I will never need more than a handful anyway

Wipqozn

@Sterno jsut about read yto quit

I've got the part thing made

but these spider bots are just annoying

Chippies

> The 169.254.x.x range of IP addresses is reserved by Microsoft for private network addressing. If you have a pc set to automatically obtain an IP and you recieve one of these addresses, windows has assigned this because it cannot find a DHCP server within the network subnet.

so, apparently my other PC can't find the DHCP server? great...

@MBraedley what's the purpose of UPnP on routers?

MBraedley

20:24

@Chippies "Universal Plug and Play" It allows a server application to open a port in the NAT without additional configuration. At least in theory.

Universal Plug and Play

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices to seamlessly discover each other's presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. UPnP is intended primarily for residential networks without enterprise-class devices. The UPnP technology was promoted by the UPnP Forum, a computer industry initiative to enable simple and robust connectivity to stand-alone devices and personal computers...

It does some other stuff as well

Chippies

oh, so it's mainly to automatically deal with port forwarding, sort of?

MBraedley

@Chippies If the server application also has that capability.

Chippies

I always thought of usb stuff when I saw UPnP, but now that I'm actually thinking about it, I realize that's Plug and Play, not Universal Plug and Play...

MBraedley

Yeah, so automatic media sharing is another big use of UPnP

Chippies

is it possible that DHCP is disabled in windows?

MBraedley

20:29

@Chippies Check your network settings

Chippies

@MBraedley well, I mean, I have it set to find IP automatically, but it gives me a 169.254.x.x IP, which apparently means windows couldn't find the DHCP server

so I'm not sure if the issue is on the PC or the router..

meanwhile this PC has no issue with DHCP

MBraedley

169.254.0.0/16 is the autoconfigure subnet IIRC, which means your computer can't see the router at all. The cable is probably crap.

Chippies

@MBraedley the cable worked earlier today and it hasn't been touched

I'll try replugging it into PC

didn't help...

MBraedley

Link-local address

In a computer network, a link-local address is a network address that is valid only for communications within the network segment (link) or the broadcast domain that the host is connected to. Link-local addresses are not guaranteed to be unique beyond a single network segment. Routers therefore do not forward packets with link-local addresses. For protocols that have only link-local addresses, such as Ethernet, hardware addresses assigned by manufacturers in networking elements are unique, consisting of a vendor identification and a serial identifier. Link-local addresses for IPv4 are defined in...

Have you restarted your computer?

disabled and re-enabled the NIC?

Chippies

yes and yes

the cable can't be completely crap, because when I unplug it from router, it says cable unplugged in windows and when I plug it back it, it identifies for a bit and then says unidentified network

so, I mean, it's sending some signal through...

MBraedley

20:42

Change the port on the router

Also, only one conductor needs to be crap

Q: Connecting my desktop to anything other than directly to my modem/router (wired) brings down my entire internet connection

A week and a half ago, I started having an odd problem: with my main desktop connected to my gigabit switch, my internet connection would go dead, not just for my desktop, but for all of my devices.

OK apparently Team Netherlands was a thing in Team Benelux (who lost to Finland)

I only know this because I'm currently watching that series and was looking up where the fuck Benelux was

And their team captain is a Winston player called Harambe.

Because of course

Arperum

@Unionhawk Benelux is Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg. The first three countries that worked together pre EU.

Unionhawk

Oh my god Finland with the attacking bastion

arda

@arda FFS so many wrong takedowns on that

Unionhawk

Wow

This match is so one sided

badp

Landlord DIYd some wires together to hook up things for a building inspection. Lights in bedroom are now stuck in the on position

Unionhawk

That's a fucking steamroll if I've ever seen one

RIP @KevinvanderVelden and @Arperum's team (I mean the match already happened and I know the result but still rip)

Arperum

@Unionhawk So you're saying Belgium is terribad at games?

sequoiad

@badp could be worse, the only working lightbulbs we have are red ones that were bought for a joke... They're making my eyes feel proper wierd

Unionhawk

I mean, I'm saying they've been knocked out of the Overwatch World Cup and will not advance to BlizzCon

badp

@sequoiad use a monitor

That can shine white light

Unfortunately a monitor can't annul the bright LEDs in my bedroom

Unionhawk

It's looking like the matches went 3-0 in flawless victories

Ronan

@badp You just need some eye tracking and get it to shine inverse phase light.

badp

@Ronan eye tracking wouldn't work so well on shut eyelids

Ellesedil

Hmm, the yes/no question I'm starting to write appears to be subjective to SE.

Ronan

@Ronan I need eyes tomorrow morning

Ronan

badp

Q: Is a former U.S. president in any way barred from becoming a minister?

May a former U.S. president be part of a successor's government? More specifically, may Hillary Clinton make Barack Obama a minister in her government? Are there even any historic precedents for such a move?

I've always wondered what would happen if a former President decided to run for a House of Representatives seat, and then was somehow elevated to Speaker. What would the over/under be on the President and VP in office at the time meeting unfortunate accidents?

Landlord is ignoring me. I'm shouting at him from his window, but either I can't work up enough of a voice or he's just ignoring me

so yeah.

Ronan

21:59

Sounds fun.

badp

I've had a rough day at work and I really could do without this bullshit

He's also surely worked hard all day

and I don't have a pager to answer to

but then I have to listen to him explain to me how his life is too easy and whenever he likes he can just go fuck off for three weeks to some island in Greece.

and he also doesn't seem to have much of a pager.

Unionhawk

Who even has a pager anymore

Other than not that guy

badp

pager or other device that will wake you up as shit accelerates in the downward direction

Unionhawk

Is that where the fan is?

Down?

badp

none of the involved parties is Super Meat Boy

there are no fans facing up

usually when a pager is hit, a fan has already been involved.

since I'm not working for a startup, you would normally have on duty people on the other side of an ocean to deal with shit merely grazing the fan.

Unionhawk

22:05

That's true

badp

...

maybe I should just ring his bell.

I don't know how I didn't think of that.

though it's midnight now.

Unionhawk

On a scale from 1 to 7 how real is the struggle

badp

and he's ignored the bell.

I guess I'll have to take off the power to the entire apartment.

it's easy, I just have to flip the switch labelled "bedroom lights" in the breaker, and everything goes down.

@GnomeSlice Does Paragon have anything unique about it compared to, say, Smite or League of Legends?

I play Smite off and on, but I'm willing to be convinced to give Paragon a try sometime.

GnomeSlice

@Ellesedil Really nice graphics, a map where elevation is important

Also cross platform play to ps4

I don't know much about smite and league

Ellesedil

How are basic attacks? Are they skillshots?

GnomeSlice

skillshots means what, you have to aim it?

Ellesedil

Yes

GnomeSlice

23:20

Yes then

Especially for rangers

Ellesedil

Right. League has auto-hitting basic attacks. You target something and your dude will attack it without fail. Abilities tend to be skillshots, though.

@Ellesedil No auto attack in paragon

Smite, almost everything is a skillshot. There's only a few abilities that auto-hit.
