Are any of you guys IT pros? I've got a networking issue. By DrRocco (Read 431 times)

I won't bore ya'll with too much detail, but my issue involves two cascaded routers and a third-party VPN service.  If anyone is willing to or thinks they can help, I'll elaborate.  Thanks!

did you just say???

[Guitarman]

Anytime you cascade routers and then run a VPN through them, you're asking for trouble because of IP conflicts in the DHCP servers on each box. Check them and see if that's your problem before you do anything else.

Sorry confused on the question but think it's about computer not working well. If so no I am not helpful in that area. Sorry good luck.

I had a class in networking....that's when I decided I would repair computers..even build them..but I was not hooking them together. The Cisco Kid is insane.

It took me 16 hours yesterday, but I got it figured out. The solution? Scrap my original plan and do it differently. Instead of two routers and a VPN to get around the MLB blackouts, I instead found a service that runs their own DNS servers. Instead of actually routing my internet traffic to a server in Switzerland or Micronesia, their DNS servers just give my traffic a Fake ID. It works great! The game starts at 6 tonight. Go Cards!

Well there's your problem. You're asking your computers to help you watch a team in Missouri instead of the White Sox or Cubs. You may have gotten away with it for now but I smell a meltdown coming.

[DrRocco]

Geographically, STL fans occupy more of Illinois than either Chicago team.

Thanks looks like you built it now I know why your a little concerned about it looks like you did a great job was the scooter like 700 due to you had to put it together? I looked at them online there a sight that sell for a reasonable deal shipping from California.

The scoot looks good take it out today. I'm going down to right aid now to get some pop talk later. Good luck with feeling confident in how all is working on your scooter.

[DrRocco]

Yeah man, check out killermotorsports.com. They're by far the cheapest, including shipping. I couldn't be happier with my experience with them. Shipping included, it was like $843 total.

and a screaming deal at that good doctor,,,,hey not to hyjack the thread but did you change oil and watch level? Everything kosher now?

[DrRocco]

Yeah. The oil level crept up on me again after the first ride on the fresh stuff. I used an oral syringe to remove the excess and kept driving. I've put on about 100 Km since then. Oil level is good and it passes the sniff test. Running super strong. All is well!!!!

Most excellent!!!!!
