Wouldn't the BIOS play into detecting external drives?

Evening all.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi and bring a little light hearted humor, hope all are well...

Yeah, that's what happens, I'll need your name, occupation, and hum, bank account number. I can fill your account with those golden delicious suds

Anyone willing to assist me in some experiments? I'm working on a new protocol for beer to peer networking... Layer one is a b1tch ;)

Evening all.

Yay for Bob, have a nice evening everyone. Luke, yur old!

And the flowers are still standing!!!!

Drumroll please

@Bob Good luck

:)

We should just set all networks to 0.0.0.0 and call it done.

What, you gonna drop us to play with your router?

I just thought that would be cool.

Can you have DD-WRT Silon the lights on the front of the router (make them look like they flash back and forth not really meaning anything)?

Pretty much

AFK - Lunch

and.. uhm... Green Jello

@Rory Alsop - d00D reminds me of Psykosonic, I like it.

@Rory Alsop - Which clown are you ;) ?

Just us chickens bot

Rory, what kinda tunes you spin?

I used to go to a place called the Vortex on Thursday nights. That was the 90's. By 2k I think it was shuttered...

Simon, I'd say I remember clubbing on Thursday nights... But the club was too good to remember it ;)

Okay, I give up, try the liver, have a nice evening all.

What I'm asking is, new to you guys?

Is it old news? ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt

Now I'm fucking with you ;)

You even

Yuo know, with all these remakes that Hollywood is doing, Flash Gordon should be in the list.

Yeah, uhm I think I'll live..

:(

Man, why's everybody always picking on me?

Group of board admins that liked to help each other out.

He was in it too.

Yup, I was part of a social group called DHS (Dead Hackers Society) in the modem days.

If I'm right, and I think I am, he lives in Utah.

So uhm, turns out I know the guy that makes Basic Instructions.

Just got midway Arcade for iOS because of Gauntlet. What a mistake ;)

Best I can do for a joke at this hour

Gamer needs coffee badly

I can't get more specific than that without knowing your equipment, reading directions... maybe call Comcast?

If you don't know what a media converter is (I've explained it twice in my answers so far (not being snarky, just pointing it out)) it would be like asking me to help you repair a busted head gasket when you don't know what an engine block is. AND we'd be doing it across the Internet, I can't see what your doing, and I don't know the make and model of your car... :)

It's not broken, it's working as designed. Remove the media converter, replace it with a router, and make the router create the connection OR if the media converter CAN act as a router, turn on that functionality, and stop your computer from doing it.

I think I'm confused. The IP address of the ThinkCentre is *.5? What does it show as the Gateway IP address? Or if the ThinkCentre shows that the Gateway IP address is *.5, is that the IP address of the Comcast modem?

Could you possibly cut and paste the ipconfig /all output. What I need from the ThinkCentre is the IP address and the Gateway IP address.

Based off of what you just provided, when the Custom is off, the rest of the computers are using self assigned IP addresses. The Custom is assigning IP addresses to everyone (acting as a DHCP server). When it's off, the computers on your network know how to talk to each other (using self assigned IP's), but have no route out to the internet (the Custom is what provides it). The route to the internet is being provided by the Custom in the DHCP configuration.

This means that the Comcast box is likely just a media converter (broadband to baseband) taking the round cable, and changing it to an Ethernet connection. That is fed through the switch into the Custom that then uses PPPoE to create an Ethernet connection. Once it has done that, it hands out IP addresses to the computers on your network.

Is the computer in question (the box on port 4) providing DHCP services? Is the computer (port 4 again) connecting through the Comcast router using PPPoE? If it is your Comcast account may be handing configuration information to the custom build, which then serves the other devices. What MAY be going on here is that the Comcast box is just acting as a media converter.

On the think center on port 2 if you do an ipconfig /all at the command line (assuming Windows) does the gateway address show up as *.4? In *nix based installs you would do ifconfig.
