    Layer 3 Lite vs Layer 2 (Netgear). Help please.

    Didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. The business class switches are intended for branch environments, not typically exposed to the www. They don't handle high pps well.  Anyway, does your side of the /29 ping from the Internet? If so, the DC can static route all your nets to it. Maybe they...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Maybe the outback flexmax80 (fm80) http://www.amazon.com/Outback-Flexmax-Solar-Charge-Controller/dp/B008MOITL8 which is also my other choice, but probably going midnite solar classic 150 for a few reasons, including their "mostly made/assembled in the usa" per their video;

    Layer 3 Lite vs Layer 2 (Netgear). Help please.

    Firstly, a netgear is only really fine for hobby usage, I assume you're only using it for personal colo, otherwise grab a used ex4200 on ebay or something. What model is it? If you can set an ip from their /30 on the uplink, and they can route all your IP space (from them or your own) to your...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Nice @MannDude, addictive hobby. I just ordered 2x 100ft lengths of 2/0 XHHW-2 copper cable to support adding more panels. I also grabbed this midnite solar combiner box to combine the panels in the attic (4x24v strings of 2x100w 12v panels), and if when it shows up it seems good quality I'll...

    So, let's clear the air...

    GVH is and always was a stinking pile of shit, you should have let that ship sink. From what it looks like you've paid some of johnny's bills, got some crappy/cheap clients, and now hes off selling servers again? Maybe I have some of that confused, but the best thing to do with sinking ships is...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    @MannDude 12v inverters are cheaper than 24v no doubt, and if you're just doing small scale then you prob wont care about the 12v->24v efficiency differences.  These are the panels I have, I'd suggest this kit if you're getting 2 panels...

    Should service providers be able to refuse service based on country?

    There are TONS of great clients in China etc. I just have yet to find them. Kidding aside, on the hardware/dedi side of the business dealing with China etc is almost always a complete waste of time, massive amounts of fraud, etc. On the VPS side where it's all automated, we have tons of...

    FS: Cisco ASR-1002-X Fully Loaded & Licensed + Smartnet

    Throw it on ebay. I've sold some cisco gear on there with great success. NIB is going for ~$12,500; http://www.ebay.com/itm/CISCO-ASR1002-X-New-in-Box-7-day-lead-/271359366339?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f2e4754c3 You can probably get $5-9k for it on ebay with the upgrades.

    Since WHT isn't the same as 5+ years ago, where's all the 'good' traffic gone to?

    Simply, the medium sized business type client that would previously pay $400/mo to host their Windows server for their office email is now using hosted/cloud solutions. The medium sized business clientele has definitely dried up a bit on WHT, no doubt.
