Well, technically it's not an error, precisely it's something that I recently had to investigate at work and the solution was that, create a VIP (Virtual IP) to which also responds to requests.
This can be done in both windows and linux and indeed it can be useful in certain scenarios.

In my case, I had a gateway problem that I solved this way, let's take the example, 3 devices, A, B and C connected like this.

A -- B -- C

A and C can't see or route each other since they have different gateways and their network configuration can't be modified, so B has 2 IP's on each of its interfaces, let's say they are X.10 and X.20. When A communicates with B through X.10, the real recipient of the packet is B. When it does so through X.20, B takes those packets, and does an IPTABLES to C, in this way A thinks it's communicating with B but in reality it's communicating with C through this second IP that B has. And the same between B and C.

I don't know if I've been understood.... it's something strange if haha.

On the other hand, if you have a windows where you're changing IP's constantly, you can go to the adapter properties and put there several IP's that you want the computer to respond to, in this way, when changing networks you don't have to go modifying the IP's at each moment.

They are rare cases but in which it can be useful.

I don't know what price you can get for the NAS and what data capacity you need, but I still find it very attractive to have a NAS separate from the PC.

Yes, I also took time to get it...
...I'm so old already. :older_man_tone3:

@Pedrodb Perfect. Thanks for the contribution and welcome!

Well I'm not sure if it's the same product, but it looks like it is. If it is, the person who leaked the information forgot to put a one in that number.

Seagate has introduced a 5Tb portable drive for $189.99

@Sylver The record is not hermetically sealed. In fact, it has a small hole to balance the external and internal pressures. Dust is problematic and it is not recommended to operate it with the lid open, but once opened, when it closes and the record starts to spin, the dust particles are thrown away by centrifugal force.

There is always a risk that the dust will damage the surface, but in reality it is a reduced risk.

@whoololon I have tried the cotton with alcohol but the surface is scratched (it is not adhered material or anything like that). The thing is that the head does not scratch when it spins on the intact part of the record.

I wonder what happened there.

I was also subjected to some nonsense that I wasn't used to, it was commented that I could help with SSD's. I wasn't interested in managing the 4 pieces of crap and it didn't make me gain performance.

In the end I always return to my minimalism, I skip ME and various crap to manage nonsense. I'm a fucking coward, I only change the essential: Win 10 for DX12 and as a bonus track the new driver for the glasses (they've marked it as enough by making them work well at 45 FPS) and the fast sync of the Pascal which has much less input lag than vsync.

@JOrGe32 First of all, welcome to the forum.
As your colleagues mention, we need to start by knowing the state of the software environment and the hard drive itself.

Starting with the latter, there are general applications for diagnosing the disk, such as CrystalDisk Info or HDD Scan.
They are not used to repair an occasional problem, but to inform, more or less accurately, about the health of our unit.

Seagate offers a tool for a more thorough diagnosis, SeaTools which can perform a series of tests on the unit.

If after all this, we have a negative result (there are no physical problems) on the unit, we would move on to study the software environment, specifically if we have any "malware" or virus that is bothering us.
The most advisable is to use Malwarebytes to see what we find.

If even then, the problem persists, it would be a matter of providing more data. :nerd:

I thought that two physical disks would appear. So I'm not very convinced by using an SSD as a cache. With such intensive use (constantly copying and deleting data) I imagine that its useful life won't be very long. And I also imagine that when the flash part fails, the whole disk will fail.

I don't know, maybe on a laptop something like this would fit but it has too many weaknesses and its price isn't very attractive from my point of view.

Find out about the coverage where you want to go and if they charge for the transfer (usually not, but you never know). If you don't have coverage, you may have to cancel it and if you don't fight, they will charge you the penalty. Insist a lot on what happens if you move to a place without coverage

Ask them when you sign up AND RECORD THE CALL (and inform them that for quality reasons the call may be recorded, just like they do :rolleyes:) because then there are always problems

That depends on the speed of the connection. With the WRT54G you won't exceed 20Mbps net, that is if the distances are quite short (very few meters and no more than one wall) and you are using a less congested band.

If throughput is not a determining factor, the repeater option is plausible.

The problem was the range of the repeater, as soon as I changed its location, it returned to the same speed as before.

Fixed.

Telefonica's is Cat 5e for example, and I have run 100 m through a factory and I got 300 mbps. At the price it is, get category 6, it's more than enough.

Best regards.

It turns out that my router is not compatible for me to replace it with the one from Movistar.

Thanks, Nimrod

If where there is a good gust of wind ;D

Now you can take advantage and continue with the rest of the team :troll:

Salu2!

Espinete has told you the essentials. 1: restart the equipment (cable modem, router, etc.) 2: disconnect any device (mobile, tablet, etc… better if you turn off the wifi, just in case) 3: close any application that may use the internet connection. Better if you start in safe mode with network for the test 4: try with a laptop that is not very old and always connected by cable Basically that's what Ono will tell you if you call them By the way, the speed test that Ono will accept is THIS
