Buying a NAS for my home
by Simon Eigeldinger 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

Hi all, I plan to get myself a NAS. I am thinking of the Synology DS216J. What do you think? We have QNAP NASs in the office which are unfortunately not very accessible with their Web GUI. We also have 2 old Buffalo DiskStations which still work though they are very old. their interface is also pretty accessible. I pretty like Synology's interface which you can also check out online: https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/live_demo Great when you can have a look at interfaces.

NVDA with Secure CRT is amazing!
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 14 Oct '17

14 Oct '17

Because I'm having a lot of problems with Jaws at the moment, I'm using NVDA a lot more than I would have. NVDA is slowing me down in Outlook and of course, I cant use it in remote desktop environments reliably but where it is really shining is in SecureCRT! I've just successfully connected to a Linux machine, Then used SSH to connect to a remote server where I needed to update some files. I used simple commands. Ls, pwd, ps etc and the feedback was perfect every single time. Then I ran nano and to my delight I was able to accurately navigate by character and by line. I haven't had that kind of reliability from a Windows screen reader in an SSH session before. I'm just delighted! I've also found good success in the command line and in powershell.

by Mike Fulton 29 Aug '17

Hello, Has anyone had experience setting up a virtual machine? I am having trouble installing the operating system. Which VM software program do you recommend? I am taking a course that recommends Virtual Box, but I can use any program. I need to set up a VM that runs windows 10. Thank you, Mike

Direct access Windows server 2016, anyone?
by Katherine M. Moss 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hi all, Has anybody gotten this to work? I want to try; would love to get my group off of the free version of PulseSecure VPN since it's obvious that it's broken, and we don't have the networking skills to fix it, nor the money to buy a license. Plus I want to succeed in getting a native Windows complex technology working. Everyone has tried but me, and none can get it going. We have a setup where the DA server would be behind a NAT, not on the EDGE (except for the one in the datacenter, but all of the local internal networks would have their behind a NAT.) We would also have to avoid use of the Teredo protocol, considering we don't have multiple public IP addresses to play with. Any suggestions on a good configuration to connect a few sites? Thanks.

repeaters
by David Mehler 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hello, I'd like to get some advice from those who have set up home repeaters for wireless range increases. Currently I have two routers, my primary an Asus RT-N66U running Merlin firmware and a Linksys not sure running DD-WRT. I've also got a buffalo that I'm going to convert. I am wanting to set up the buffalo and the Linksys as repeaters. I am quite confused as to how to do this as my primary router is putting out three different SSID's, the main 2.4 GHZ, the primary 5 GHZ, and a guest network on 2.4 GHZ. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
