  • I would like to help with what I believe, it is a problem of routing VLANS on a SLM2008 and RVS4000

    Please see attached Word documentfor a full description.  Thank you!

    Hi Michael,

    All those who say the VLANS within the first hour is a person much smarter than me.

    I have to admit with great humility, I think it took me nagging questions for some patients (AR) and weeks and weeks until finally I have a bit of understanding of the functioning of VLAN.

    So don't feel concerned, many people there are in the same "boat" as you.

    But VLAN, when you get the feel for them, are so so helpful.

    I like under 'acceptable frame type' tick 'all '.

    The value PVID tells me basically what VLAN not signposted port is underway.

    This means that in the image below, 3 ports, 6-8 will be I hope, expecting to received and transmit frames Ethernet labeled with a tag VLAN 2.

    But on the diagram above, I can now make room for the following table.

    without tag vlan tagged vlan

    3-1-2 switch port

    6 2 2 switch port can not be marked and unidentified on the same switch port

    7 2 2 switch port can not be marked and unidentified on the same switch port

    8-1-2 switch port

    In the diagram above, I can see that 1 and 2 switch ports are ifor untagged VLAN 3 so the packages roll inside the switch for VLAN 3 will have their VLAN TAGs removed from the Ethernet frame as the traver packets on the switch to an IP host.

    I also see that the switch port 3 unidentified in the VLAN 1, but you have set the acceptable frame on tagged only type.

    Unless I read this all in fact wrong.

    Note: I have to admit that has the big brother to the SG200 SG300 series switch,

    Don't forget about PC / security cameras (except Cisco, hey I'm system engineer have to give my equipment fitted with a plug) in most of the cases do not send frames labeled Ethernet in the switch, which is why I like the idea of accepting all types of frames. I guess that the default VLAN settings are the acceptable frame types = all

    When we add a vlan to a switch port, as the image below, switch to these ports are added as a vlan tagged, because the port if already reside in one VLAN not tagged...  This means that in the case below, 3 ports, 6-8 will be I hope, expecting to received and transmit frames ethernet labeled with a tag VLAN 2.

    You said it, not easy, you need to play and practice with switching and routing

    .  But the general rule that I follow for VLAN's.

    A switch port can be untagged in a single vlan, but at the same time marked on several VLANs.

    With respect to the limitation of the camera, my camera, I have not used my filters. But there is the possibility of limiting access by IP address or network.

    I guess you can find an article on your DLINK camera to filter. Reset the default camera and try to add it again.

    Routing between VLANS will occur at the RVS4000, it routes packets between different VLANs, the SG200 cannot be put in Layer 3 mode like its big brother the 300 series (SRWXXX-K9-NA)...

    Best regards, Dave

  • Need help with what I believe, it's a matter of pathfinder - thank you!

    Hi guys

    I'm a relative newby on illustrator, using what knowledge I need to get by - your help would be much appreciated...

    I'm doing a bicycle wheel, I have two forms, a group of rays, and two, a circle, as if...

    Screen Shot 2014-01-09 at 4.28.34 PM.png

    What I want to achieve is to remove the lines running through the inside of the inner circle, it looks like this... (I cheated and filled the inside with white circle, so you can't see the lines behind it, but the paths still exist)

    Screen Shot 2014-01-09 at 4.29.36 PM.png

    I tried clicking on each option of pathfinder, but without success... just how to remove these lines that simply cross in the middle of the circle?

    Thanks a lot guys, I'm sure it's just a simple question but I would be extremely grateful, thank you!

    Joe

    Joe,

    If you want to cut the rays with the help of the Pathfinder options, you need object > path > Outline Stroke or similar.

    To get a transparent Center in a simple way, you can select the white cehat circle as well as rays and in the transparency palette opacity mask do ticks of the Launcher, with unchecked Clip and mask Invert checked.

    And what Steve.

  • INSIDE JOB "DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT" BASED IN INDIA HAS A SCAM

    Hello

    I am writing because I was the victim of what I believe, it's a "Dell inside job" in this scam of technical support for users of computers Dell off warranty or expired support based in INDIA. I've been a customer of DELL since 2003, was always the best technology support without problem, even when I called once about 7 years ago they cleaned up my computer for $49.00 which was ok with me without any problem. I bought an all in one computer in 2012, with 3 years of support. My problem started when I called DELL April 2016 of course didn't help because my computer was not covered, they wanted me to pay $89.00 a service of time, at this time there what I wanted was to get my computer to windows 8.1, I wasn't happy with 10, my computer was working fine. A week later, I started getting calls from ladies with Hindu accent claiming to be from Dell who want to help me fix my computer. I was always busy, and I told them that I not had time to seat 2 hours to do. They called it forth, until the day exactly a 29/08/16 months ago, I had the time to fix my computer slow and accepted their offer. He gave his guarantee Id # DELL9929 its name: Eric Thomas with a Hindu accent, I asked him: are you really from Dell? He reassured me that it was, they were getting signals from my computer that something was wrong. I thought because my computer after this call in April started to have more and more slow. He wanted to have access to my computer which is the only way they can fix it, I gave him access he installed an internet to analyze and clean security program call them KAPERSKY, he began to clear the files etc. According to him clean my computer. I made it clear I was not buying anything, he said no worries we do it because we have too many alerts to your computer. He told me he was going to monitor my computer for a week that he will call me Monday. I didn't go on my bank account or check e-mails because I felt that they looked at me, but instead of Monday he called me on Friday, so I told her that I don't have confidence in him. As soon as I hung up to 02/09/16 I called said Dell TECH SUPPORT what happened, to my great surprise this Hindu guy named Muthu Chidambaram Service Request: 935549938 has acted as he was aware of the scam, told me he's going to clean my computer for $89.00 service time or $239.00 per year. He also told me that I needed better security that he had one that was best for $249.99. I paid the $89.00 did not buy anything, but when I went to the Dell website to find a security software they had some for as low as $14,99 as it was the labor day weekend. I wonder why he tried to sell me one so expensive? As soon as I suspended with DELL, I went into my email to find that I had been charged by PayPal $450,00 leave DEN SUPPORT, called 801-829-7424 # imposter ask my money back either. PayPal and my Bank got my money, but it does not stop there. Why do I say is an inside job? 5 days after calling DELL TECH taking charge on 02/09/16, once again I received a call to a different number I gave only Muthu to contact me in case we were disconnected my phone Earth when it was fix my computer, the guy also Hindu told me exactly the same thing others had said in so many calls : They received signals. After you fix my computer Muthu asked me to respond to his email if I had more problems with my computer. My computer started acting again when I answered by Muthu email because I need help, he never responded, but when I called the 09/09/16 DELL SUPPORT because my computer was not at beginning, they wanted me to pay again, when I asked to speak to a supervisor, Rajeev (name of Tech) told me I had to pay $39.00 to talk to a supervisor which is something that I have never heard in my life, dealing with many companies. I was upset and told him they were running a scam, an inside job of the technical support because everyone involved was based in India, I told Rajeev history and he said that I was going to go further. 13/09/16, I got a call from DELL, a supervisor called Hindu Dave too, not too sweet. I told him about the scam from inside DELL, suddenly, he said: "I can refund your $89.00, you can call the DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT so they can fix your computer". I got the $89.00. My computer does not work. I'm afraid to call the DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT because they do the same thing again, their scam's with Dell Support off users guaranteed because they can make money in this way. I think they get a bonus if they sell us more, so our computer will never work as they should, because they want to keep us reminded. If we fall into their trap, like I did, you call DELL to fix our computer every time. A SCAM. They have our computer tag #, all of our personal information. Scary. I think the enamel of Muthu, I answered, was something that has infected my computer. Long story, but true.

    Read thisand follow the link to report your problem to Dell for investigation.

  • My dad fell for a scam of pop up allowing access to its iMac... What should I do now?

    My old father just bought a new iMac 3 weeks after the death of his previous mac of 10 years ago.  He is not very computer and had a time with the learning curve.

    Yesterday, while online, he fell for one of those notices of popups indicating that his computer was 'at risk' - he called the phone # & handed her credit card information...  Immediately, they have had access, has taken control of his computer and downloaded something while he was on the phone with him.  That scared him and he stopped.

    He called the credit card company to refuse the $50 fee that had been immediately posted on his account.  I fear however, that some sort of malicious software have been installed and maybe they have access to his personal information and passwords, etc.  He doesn't know who he talked to, or what has been downloaded...

    What needs to be done to identify and remove what has been installed?  I don't want him being a victim of identity theft.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    First of all, have the card cancelled and have the Bank to launch a new. Change all passwords. Tell him that never to do that again.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    It is unlikely that something has been installed because these sites go after Windows systems. The software does not work on Mac.

  • Qosmio X 300 - 13w: what chipset it is?

    a few questions:

    (1) anyone knows what chipset in Qosmio X 300 - 13w uses?

    (2) I need the drivers for this chipset, Toshiba does not have the drivers for the chipset.
    I tried to download the driver "chipset utility" from the download page of toshibas. However, my laptop continued to show (what I believe to be the nforce Ethernet card) as a piece of hardware.

    (3) I had to remove the nforce network access Manager as several games seems to have problems with it.
    I went to uninstall by deleting the nvidia drivers in Control Panel > programs installed.
    But once this has been uninstalled, I received the material not recognized windows the next time I logged in.
    I found nothing on the toshiba downloads that would allow me to reinstall the nforce network access Manager... If anyone knows how I can install the nforce network access Manager wither under all of the nvidia drivers or as one of its components?

    Thanks in advance.
