Cable Internet – Isolate the Problem
Image via Wikipedia
After rewiring my entire house the ultimate way to isolate the problem is to put the cable modem directly on the main line. Replace all splitters, and ask the cable company to drop a new main line, and you can feel confident that the problem is no longer in your house. I rewired my entire house, replaced all splitter, then called the cable company. They replaced the splitter outside, and then dropped a new main line. The problem is no longer in my house. My router is loosing its external ip address. So far the cable company said they will compensate us for one months service, if this continues more compensation is warranted.
Every time the internet goes down, this website, my other websites, and all of my email services go offline. I rely on this website to get me through the day when I am at work. What is a day of work when you can blog about things

Server side includes allow for external html documents to be injected into a page prior to it rendering on the client web browser. The benifit of this is eliminating the need to repetitiously repeat code over and over again. If you include the same scripts, on each of your website pages, you can create an [...]

Cron automatically sends out email to the job’s runner a report of the issued cronjob. This can either be an excellent and invaluable feature or an annoyance. To stop the emails from coming add this to the end of any particular cronjob: >/dev/null 2>&1 Without the above line the email will be delivered to the [...]

Posted in Cablevision, Optimum, external, ip, network | No comments
Image via Wikipedia Cable modems need a strong signal in order to operate properly. The more splitters you pass through successively degrades the signal strength (-3.5dB/splitter). For a while internet service was working fine, but then I would loose the external ip address every no and then. I then investigated the wiring in the house, [...]

Just because you run linux does not mean you completely forgo anti virus. Your website can be broadcasting Windows viruses or malware. Clamav, run from the command line, will scan your web directories recursively to identify various concerns. Install Clamav: sudo apt-get install clamav Then you can run Clam manually or you can install a [...]

Use a cronjob as follows: 1 1 0 0 0 rsync -r /home/user /media/backup/user The above rsync will [...]

Apparent there is either a sensitive aspect to iPhone software, or an integrated kill mechanism. I have a friends iPhone that simply cannot be restored. There is an error 9 that cannot be avoided. I have placed the phone in DFU mode, which is apparently the ultimate restore mode, from which even the most damaged [...]

I’ve gone over sendmail several times, but ultimately it comes down to a couple of factors. Unless you are setting up an enterprise level email server, and require some login settings, and potential relaying, sendmail is relatively simple. You start by installing it: sudo apt-get install sendmail Sendmail operates on port 25 because it is [...]
