Cheers, figured It had to be something like that when I tried the 5.5 ISO, which gives a proper error about insufficient RAM. Got an 8 GB stick of Kingston ecc on the way. Things have moved on a bit since I set up my N36 on ESXi 4! Being forced into ECC is a little annoying as I've loads of...

Anyone had any issues installing ESXi 6 on the Gen8 Microserver? I've tried both the standard and HP's customised images (from here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/servers/solutions.html?compURI=1499005#tab=TAB4 ) , both of them fail installation with an error about not detecting the nics...

The nic negotiates for link speed with whatever is at the other end of the cable, in this case the switch. Your PS4 seems fine, so it may be some incompatibility between the specific model of switch and the nic in your revo. Openelec seems to have a decent wiki. Connect to it via SSH from...

Take note that if you're using the Perc6 on an Intel chip set motherboard, you'll need to block the smbus pcie pin with tape. Also, make sure to cut all the power to your board when installing it or it might not be detected at POST ( tore my hair out over this one for a while) You'll also want...

Have you tried setting your port speeds and duplex manually on the Revo?

Last time I had a problem like this, it turned out to be a dodgy pin in the Ethernet socket. Take a good look at both sockets with a flashlight, and try a different cable that you have tested as working. Also check that you are plugging into a LAN designated socket on the router, not a WAN...

Looks fine to me, your HTC is only single stream, so it's theoretical Max is 150Mbps, before overheads. 1080p x264 video needs less than 10Mbps. Edit: just looked up the specs of the M8, and it actually supports wireless AC, so The theoretical Max is actually 450Mbps for single stream. Of...

Yeah, I know there are other solutions, but I figured it would be more interesting to set up VOIP.

It's quite a big house and the Master Socket is at one end, If the DECT base station is located there it doesn't cover the whole house. Also, I can only pair 4 phones to it, but could use a couple extra.

Hi, I'm hoping for some advice or recommendations for turning my normal BT phone line into a VOIP system. It's mainly for fun, but i'm hoping to be able to stop using the Telephone extensions around the house as the wiring is pretty rubbish and impacts on our ADSL performance, even with an...

Get a second hand i7 system, I reckon you could get an i7 920 and reasonable mobo with dual LAN and 6 DDR3 slots for £100, throw in an SSD and then load it with 4GB modules as your budget allows, maybe start with 12GB and work up to 24. That's what I'm using and it works brilliantly. Even...

The idea is that its much quicker and easier to roll out than FTTP because they can make it available without involving homeowners at all. The mini dslams don't need planning permission or new power connections either. In addition since they'll be bringing Fibre so much closer to homes, and...

Did you clone over the HDD to the SSD when you bought it? If so check the BIOS boot order is correct.

My Obutto R3v setup, put it together last week. Logitech G27, Saitek X55, Razer Blackwidow, Deathadder (original). TrackIR and Sennheiser 595 headphones. Loving it, been playing Grid2 all day with my family (I take out the HOTAS for racing, but wanted to show off everything together) Been...

I'd still give homeplugs a go, you can get pass through ones so it doesn't take up a socket. In answer to your question though, yes you can bridge the connection using WiFi, just read through the descriptions to make sure it supports it. I've got a TP-Link TL-WA901ND that does.

I've used 3M double sided sticky pads on mine, they are surprisingly effective. I was thinking I'd have to cobble up a mounting solution to clamp it onto my Obutto, but the pads do a great job.

If you don't want to get a better router, try using a VPN.

Similar situation here, all the cabs except mine are getting FTTC this year, including a new one for EO lines. So I'm stuck with ADSL Max. Speeds wouldn't change too much for me (2Mb sync), but the IP profiles would be better and I'd probably be able to use a cheaper ISP ( have to go business...

In Somerset?

Pfsense on a Microserver ESXi VM. Got Dual WAN going (2Mb/834Kb uncapped ADSL (PPPoE to a DG834GT in bridge mode), 16/2 Mb Fixed Wireless with a 20GB cap) at the moment it's setup so that anything in my DHCP pool prefers the wireless, and my static devices prefer the DSL. My server is set to...
