    Computer Cluster

    Ah, you might want to look through this article then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system I don't have any experience with most of them. Only DFS i know. But that's probably a bit to expensive for what you want.

    Computer Cluster

    People always want to cluster older hardware to get some decent performance out of 2 or more older pc's. They usually expect to run normal programs on them just like you would with 1 computer. Just wondering what you're planning to do? Because the above scenario isn't going to work. Beowulf...

    Can't open port 25565. Help!!

    I'd try opening up a different port to test if the port forwarding is working. So you can rule out minecraft being faulty. What OS do you have? You can run a remote desktop if you have a professional version of windows. Or setup a ssh server.

    need advice for installing win server 2008

    That is not true. Windows vista shares it's kernel with windows server 2008. Windows 7 has the same kernel as windows server 2008 r2. If you want to test something i'd use windows server 2008 r2. Most companies never even deployed windows server 2008 and skipped to the r2 version. The r2...

    Rack Server and components' size

    The basic hardware is the same. They serve the same functionality. Server hardware usually is more reliable has more safeguards and are usually of a different size. They usually also disregard stuff like power saving and make alot of noise. Why exactly are you asking?

    How to block internet protocol tcp ip properties

    If users have administrator rights you can't block them from changing those settings. That's the whole point of being an administrator. An alternative option would be to setup a proxy server. And just block all traffic going outside except through the proxy. That way the ip of the user won't...

    Not getting prompt to log into network

    start by resetting your browser (i'd suggest trying IE first) to it's default settings. If that doesn't work check if you do get an ip on your network card.

    Don't know anything about the subject but you might want to check this part of your topic: The cluster has Ubuntu desktop server installed on it at the moment. It's either desktop or server, pick one ;)

    Networked Independant HDD

    The more expensive ones basically are full microservers. Just completely configured and setup most of the times with a simple webinterface to manage.

    Networked Independant HDD

    You want a NAS (network attached storage). Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=241&Tid=18253&name=Network-Attached-Storage-NAS

    Networked Independant HDD

    Yup there are. But why wireless? That's very slow when you want to acces files on the hard drive.

    Multiple network cards internet problem

    You want to set a gateway of last resort. If you access the command prompt and type "route print" you'll see 1 persistent route. You need to remove that route and add one according to which network card/ gateway you want to use. You can use the command "route delete" to remove the route. And...

    2x lan ports on mobo = 2gig/sec?

    Hard drives go to sleep but they should awake when needed. When you're experiencing the problem i'd check the server immediately (resources/ task manager). And check all related logs.

    2x lan ports on mobo = 2gig/sec?

    It needs a managed switch to function properly. It's kind of deprecated without it. Using 2 lan ports is totally overkill too for video one video stream.. I don't know shit about itunes streaming but i guess you're streaming it outside your home network? The stream just quits working i...

Spiceworks uses wmi (and snmp i think, not sure though). Why excactly are you using Spiceworks? It's kind of overkill in...

    RAID1 and USB Pens.

    I think he wants the usb flash application. This one will do fine: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#ms_help_topics_at4 This should never kill your usb stick btw. You can just format it afterwards to get a "clean" usb stick back. As for the raid...

    Open Source Linux Server

    If you're just getting started i would pick something with a big community/ good support. Debian or something debian derived like ubuntu are my favorites. Lots of tutorials to be found for those, just google what you need.

    Internet connection sharing

    That should be possible if your router doesn't have or allows you to turn off ap/ client isolation. Your router also provides dhcp for the ip settings. But you want to get an ip from the dhcp on the laptop after you setup bridging. So you might have to fiddle around with the ip settings. I'm...

    What is is you excactly want the dell dimension to do? What do you want to accomplish? Setting up a proxy server to get a more secure network is one to do it. But there are better possibilities for most problems.
