So Network Instruments have published their latest State of the Network report, and it makes for some worrying reading for network managers. The report is gathered from questionnaires answered by 592 network professionals, covering geographically diverse locations, with differing numbers of users.

Posted from the mobile
So as part of the new job I needed to get a new phone. Since I’m not a big fan of Microsoft Windows Mobile, I wanted something different as a platform. Since the only real extensible platform left is Symbian (especially since Palm has now a choice of platform, both Windows Mobile and PalmOS), I …

The first week in the new job
So I’ve started the new job.. and the first week is over. Three days of training in Paris, in which it feels like I’ve met more than half of the company, and the other two days of presentation and demonstration training. Luckily I’ve been able to hit the ground running with the technology side of …

Update on Juniper WXC WCCP support
It transpires that the issue with IGMP snooping needing to be disabled on certain switches is due to the partial implementation of the multicast IP support within the Juniper WXOS software. For switches that have IGMP snooping feature, this normally enabled on these switches, and most support IGMP v2. This requires both the multicast end …

Packetshaper and PolicyCentre reconnections.
The large legal organization has had some issues recently.. for some reason the PolicyCentre for their Packetshaper environment has stopped responding (it can be ping’d across the network, but no response to the management traffic). Reset this, and everything springs back into life.. Everything, that is, except a handful of Packetshapers that are refusing to …

Renewing Web Hosting
Time to renew the web hosting service again. So having looked at other services and the costs, and the need to support PHP and MySQL for the kind of things that I’d like to support (this blog for one), I’d pretty much made my mind up to move away from Easyspace, especially since they keep …

More problems with Acceleration
So the consultant from the Inks company phoned again, and needs a little help. Seems that the HP JetDirect printing to some of their sites has broken, since the transition to the new network. A bit of a look, and some disabling and re-enabling some functions later, and we get back to everything working for …
