Yeah, grounding both ends will result in some current traversing across the pairs all the time because of differences in ground potential over long-ish distances. Ken Matlock Network Analyst 303-467-4671 matlo...@exempla.org -Original Message- From: valdis.kletni...@vt.edu

The second thing is that you need to have at least a VAGUE idea what you want to actually offer. A DSL ISP is VASTLY different than a Co-Location ISP. I'd say you need to sit down and take a long hard look at exactly you want to do, *then* figure out what you need to do in order to accomplish

Active directly is tied fairly closely to it's DNS. For example, if a client needs to find a Domain Controller, it does a DNS 'SRV' query for (I think, I'm doing this from memory) '_LDAP._TCP.domain.com/org/net/whatever'. I assume other 'services' like LDAP are 'advertised' (if you can call it

The biggest problem with duplex had to do with 100mb. Cisco (and a lot of other companies) decided in their infinite wisdom that at 100mb if auto-negotiation fails, to use half duplex as the default. So if you have both sides at auto, or both sides hard-set it's all good. But if one side is
