Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
So...fancy schmancy new router. Linksys E3200. Trivial setup, and I'm not even sure it needs dd-wrt. I'll see if I feel the pain of no DNS.
Sadly, I realise the switch in my living room is just 10/100. I have no idea what all of my devices are, but the infrastructure should be as fast as possible. So I'm getting the eight port version of the switch Gud recommended.
And I just had a long-assed post about a weird Windows 7 connection issue, but I solved it by mistake so I can deleted the tl/dr;! Hurrah! Most stuff seems to be coming online just fine.
omnis,
you can't even export them to your computer and upload them?
I'm sure I could do that, but being shared with a dozen other people, I'd have to relink everything with everyone.
I have an iPhone now. So I'm now one of those people who have an iPhone.
Yeah, I got tired of the crappy touch-screen in my old phone. Plus now I won't need to carry my phone and my iPod touch with me everywhere. I also have the personal hot spot so I can surf the internets on a laptop on the train.
Oh dear dog! I contacted IT in School of the Arts, and they say to NOT do the Google stuff, because they are switching over to Office365 this summer. So? Why the heck did the campus IT send out the email saying to switch over to Google.UCI.edu?? @@ For the love of all that is sacred, can't they get their stories straight?!?!

And the lack of network DNS is biting my ass. I don't get how you people do this. My NAS just disappeared from my Mac, I swear. And when I run the discovery tool, it's misreporting the IP addresses. I can get it back in Finder using a hosts file, but I can't authenticate all of a sudden. Those volumes are hidden from me. Time Capsule can't see it, and it hasn't backed up the Mac since the new router went in. What the fuck?
It's static DHCP, and it's handing out the same address as before, dammit. Now I'm feeling convinced I have to load dd-wrt to at least get back to that state.
If I can connect via the web browser (and have verified it's the right credentials), and the hosts file points to that IP address, what in hell could be the problem? Not serving DNS couldn't break that...
It definitely shouldn't...
