Hi all, I am not a network expert, and this has me stumped. Our office has 9 workstations, with ports that patch through to our Netgear S3300-52X switch. We have 2 newly enabled ports in our office ('new' ports). We have 8 existing ports ('old' ports). We have 8 old workstations and 1 new...

Drive is a 6TB Seagate Enterprise Nearline (ST6000NM0024). I will swap it out and try that. ECC memory will mean a new workstation so this will happen when we next procure. Thanks folks

Workstation is non-ecc; we are considering switching to ecc in future What is odd is that this is a relatively recent issue; the workstation has been happy for a year with the same work package but the erros have only just started creeping in. I've just checked and the disk (a 6TB Seagate...

Hi folks, Not sure if this is the right forum for this; mods please move if necessary. I transfer up to 1TB of data between a server and workstation each day. The files are large (~100MB) ascii grids (simulation result files). Approximately 0.01-0.1% of these files seems to become corrupted...

Sure - can you let me know exactly which stats you require? I am not a networking expert so please forgive my ignorance! Some basic stats from the netgear interface, before I switched in the BT modem, looked like this:

Yes - latest firmware. I will try a full factory reset.

Hi all, I have had a D7000 for ~1 month. It was fine until a couple of days ago, at which point the connection started to drop every few hours but recovered each time within ~1 minute. My ISP (Uno) asked me to connect the BT modem and monitor it, using the D7000 as router only. Since doing...

There isn't a supply from the hot water tank to the 'new' part of the house with the showers, so this isn't an option (and the tank is an old fashioned immersion / stove heated job, so not up to running showers anyway). I figured a separate pump would be better than the small ones installed...

Yes, I believe it would become equivalent to running the most powerful electric shower available off a room temperature 3 bar mains supply. I'm hoping this would provide a decent improvement over the current 8.5 kw power shower, where the 8.5 kw unit both pumps and heats. I guess my question...

Calling any plumbers! We have a beautiful hill farm in Snowdonia, but one of the minor downsides of such a property is the fact that the nearest mains gas/water supplies are about 4 miles away! The plumbing in the house has been cobbled together over the years but is basically centred around...

Disconnecting the HDD drives and switching the BIOS from RAID to AHCI does not help...

Hi all, I went out and bought a Samsung 850 evo SSD to install a fresh copy of windows 10 on. I created the USB media, booted from it, installed and can get to the point at which the first stage of the installation is complete and it restarts to boot from the SSD. It does this, but then...

Hi all, Quick question on rubber matting. We're converting the room that adjoins our living room into a gym so the rubber smell I've been reading about would be a problem. Does anyone have experience of either...

Hi Nick, This is a route she has looked at but decided against. The company is new but she is not new to the industry herself; having your own system avoids queue issues and generally allows a more rapid response. She also project manages which often means rapid re-rendering as a build...

Hi, My partner has just started her own interior design business and needs to invest in a small private render farm. She's asked me to sort the hardware and I've determined that for the software she uses (3DS max + VRay for final frame renders), a CPU-led render farm is the way forward. I'm...

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I shall decorate his new mercedes before attempting to reorient the Asian missile crisis in his general direction. Best get to practicing my Korean :)

I would do normally, I'm only thinking along these lines as they've been so unpleasant towards her.

Hi all, My partner left her job yesterday, not on the best of terms unfortunately, but was not able to clear all of her possessions before the director insisted on closing up and leaving. We therefore came back this morning to pick up the last of her possessions, including her personal...

Practice out of lessons sounds like it will really help It will allow you to drive loads and most importantly you'll gain the confidence needed to pass the test. Driving is like any other skilled task - difficult to begin with as there are so many things to consider beyond the mechanics of...

Yeah, I can see why. I'm not normally fussy and I've never returned anything before for shoddy quality. However, I am simply not prepared to pay for a new device and be sent something that looks worse than a manufacturers refurb and has a screen that should not have passed QC. It's a shame...
