Recommendations for the 2nd guest card, ESXi 4.1?

I use ESXi4 in a House on a low-cost Dell image headless server. I would like to add a second network card PCI host - maybe an Intel PRO/100 and PRO/1000 off eBay - which is supported on ESXi 4.0 and 4.1.  My PCI adapter only supports 32-bit cards.

Performance is not a serious problem, but I would like to find an adapter for under $ 25. I'll use this to experiment with different firewall, routing, and VPN between the WAN configurations (for example: DSL) and LAN.  It's more convenient and more 'green' to keep all my virtual machines guests on a single box, but references the list of cards supported against froogle and Bay takes more time than I expected.

recommendations, pointers, and personal experience would be appreciated...

I think the most common whitebox NIC's Pro 1000 GT.  ESX(I) dropped 100 MBps NIC support so I would avoid this option even if there is a community update driver Pro/100.

  • Recommendation for the new graphic card for the Pavilion a1250n Office running windows xp service pack 3

    trying to upgarde my pavilion a1250n computer of office for graphics card MSI r5450 radeon. After installation of the new card in the PCI express and turn on the machine, does not start, screen goes black and the fans to run at top speed. The card and the machine starts fine with the ATI radeon 200 exprees edge. I went into Device Manager and disabled the ATI radeon 200 adapter, and the system still wouldn't start with the new card. Went into the Bios at startup and changed the setting of the adapter PCI E, the slot where I put the card, and still won't work, even with the Bios and Device Manager changes I made.

    New card right out of the box, could be bad, or perhaps not compatible with my system? If is not compatible, what would you recommend? Currently I am running windows XP SP3 and am looking for a card that can be upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit. I know that the ATI integrated graphics card cannot be upgraded, so I'd appreciate some advice really.

    Thank you.

    If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

  • Select FTP from the 2nd nic card

    Hello world

    I know there is probably a simple solution for this, but I found no search terms appropriate to find that answer so here goes...

    I have a pc (XPsp3) with two network adapters. Internet access to the system. The 2nd network card (USB) is an internal card that provides only an Ethernet link to a network IP web cam. I know I could use a hub and all that, but the computer lives in a box seal on the top of a building and it's a prototype of a system of low power solar powered, so we do not want to add new components (pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/timescience/sets/72157623916362084/).  In any case I want images the camera on the internal NETWORK adapter ftp to our server remote timelapse on the outbound internet connection on the other network card. I've set up redirects the port to route the incoming data, but I did have to implement before outgoing routing. I guess it's simple to do. Someone can it tell me how to or point me to a link where its been explained?
    Thank you!

    IPad disabled with thousands of pictures of children that are not backed up with iTunes or icloud. Recommendations for the recovery of photos please?

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204306

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

    Good luck

  • Outlook Express downloads e-mail messages for the 2nd time which have been read and deleted a few weeks ago.

    Outlook Express downloads e-mail messages for the 2nd time which have been read and deleted a few weeks ago.  This happens periodically.  Repeated messages are usually a week.

    Maybe they are still on the server (server of your ISP). Make sure that you don't leave copies of messages downloaded from the ISP server that may cause duplicate messages to download.

    It's the only thing I can think of.

    If you are unsure how to check your messages via the Internet site of the ISP, then check with them about how you do that. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

  • Format recommended for the PDF author metadata

    Hello

    I work as a librarian and I am responsible for the Department of the thesis of my University Library. These are filed and archived as PDF files. Some of them are available online, some are not.

    I was told to systematically fill metadata "Title" and "Author" for each PDF deposited in our electronic despository.

    My question has to do with metadata "author." Is there a structure recommended for her?

    As it is I can think of a lot of different alternatives:

    First name last name

    LastName Firstname

    LastName, Firstname

    etc.

    As a librarian, my instinct was to choose the name, first name format (used in the author/creator DC element, for example), but I realized that whenever I have saved the PDF file and then displays the part of metadata (via the shortcut Alt D), it would show "Lastname, Firstname" rather than the full name (for some unknown reason, adds Adobe Pro "" ""). After some tests, I came to the conclusion that the coma was the source of the problem. So I changed my mind and adopted the format Firstname Lastname , but I'm not sure that this is the best option.

    So if I ask you a few questions, here they are:

    -Which format do you recommend for the metadata of the author (if there is one)?

    -Why a coma generates ""?

    Is there a specific separator character that I use when I need to fill two different names (if a given thesis has been written by two different people)? (this issue also applies to metadata "Key words")

    Thanks for your patience and for your time,

    See you soon,.

    There are no rules in itself, but the XMP specification defines DC: creator as a ProperName field, which means it must be written in the way he would say - "John Smith" rather than "Smith, John". Finally, it is until you do with data - if your external search system to priority of family name, do it.

    The fields on the tab of "description" of PDF Properties dialog comes from this Document information block in the standard PDF file, which is independent of the XMP metadata. Although these fields of DI are often people will look on, in a formal catalog system the XMP object has priority (indeed, in the ISO PDF/A standard that you are supposed to ignore completely DI fields).

    Document Information fields are stored in the PDF file as strings rather than the XML entities. Commas would confuse the parser in thinking it was to see a table, so they will trigger Acrobat in order to encapsulate the entries between quotes. He will assume a comma and a single space are part of an individual term, if you want to create a list using the semicolons or several spaces between words. Senicolons conquer spaces:

    • Doe, John; Lord Lucan; Barney, the Purple dinosaur will be kept at the "Doe, John"; Lord Lucan; 'Barney, the Purple dinosaur'
    • Is no one, no one will be kept to the ', that is, not a "; person because the spacing is a term separator.

    The important thing to remember is that the entrance of DC: creator XMP is updated whenever you change the author field of DI, but it does NOT follow the same rules. ProperNames XMP are OK with spaces but they don't like commas or semicolons - so the first example above appears in the tree view of XMP as

    1. DOE
    2. John
    3. Lord Lucan
    4. Barney
    5. Dinosaur
    6. the
    7. Purple

    This reinforces the idea of using names as spoken. Lord Lucan has survived his trip to XMP, John Doe became two people. Barney is beyond hope. in many ways.

  • Recommendation for the configuration of the disk

    Recommendation for the configuration of the disk:

    A wide range of RAID 5 consisting of 8 x 146 GB drives?

    Two arrayys of RAID 5 with 4 x 146 GB drives in each table one would be used for the data store, and the other would be usd to images of backup to it.  The idea here is that when we do backup via the script GhettoVCB/o would be mainly on the secondary RADIUS and not the main data store.   In my opinion?  I think I have the only RAID 5 Bay with all the readers of 8 x 146 GB for a data store single should surffice.   I don't think the performance problems will be that detrimental.

    As written before, depends on the type of e/s.

    With more than R and W low, RAID5 (on multiple disks) could be very good.

    But don't forget to also use a global hot spare, degraded performance a RAID5 mode could be dramatic.

    And don't forget that your controller has a battery backup.
