And Moved

A little bumpy, but certainly not the worst moving day(s) evar. Anyhow, now I have to hack my network back together. Dropping the Linksys router back in place didn't just work. Hella-weak. Czak did the old mfr reset on that puppy and could get online at least.

Now I just have to restore the network setup. So far it hasn't been bad. Getting the router online was definately the important first step. I hacked away at that config last night and got a bunch of it up.

Got the router renumbered,

Verified that chevette could still get online,

Booted dulcea, she couldn't get online,

Disabled dhcp on the router (dulcea was numbered statically),

Now dulcea gets online,

Verified chevette could dhcp from dulcea and get online still,

Re-opened the essential services (smtp, dns),

Updated zone info on Nikita and transfered it to dulcea,

Haven't verified SMTP works, but I know DNS at my work hasn't updated yet so it won't work from here,

Opened more services (ssh, pop, spop, etc) and checked a few of them.

So far so good. Dulcea is a bit noisy for me to sleep with, but I think that's just the PSU. I'm going to try to replace the PSU tonight with one of the other ones I have handy and if that works, great, and if not, I'll leave dulcea off again overnight and buy a "silent" PSU tomorrow.

Now for the fun part. I'm supposed to be on this "eXtreme" service from Shaw which is 5Mbps down and lord knows what up. I tested off dslreports.com and scored over 2Mbps down by just under 1Mbps up. Not bad. I wouldn't complain about that 'cept I have other grievances.

I only get one real ip address. This is no good for my war-games course. This is flat-out bad. Wendawg thinks we're supposed to get two. I know on our old modem that I pulled as many as I could connect to the modem at a time (5). Either way, I have to reset the modem when swapping devices. I really only get one IP address. This I will have to sort out with Shaw even if they make me pay for a second IP for two months until the war-games course is over.

And I'm a little tired and cranky so screw it all straight to hell.
