I have a Roku and would like to record some shows so I can still have them once they are no longer available. I normally watch Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and Hulu. Is there a way to record digitally streamed media with software or do I need some type of DVR? I have no experience at all...

What would be a good app to use if I want to access files on my computer via the LAN only? Currently I'm using ES File Explorer with my Android Galaxy S3 but it only connects intermittently and when it is connected everything works great except movies. When I rip DVD's to my hard drive on my...

How do you map a loopback interface? In class we are mapping (with a paper and pencil) router configurations. I know that F0/1 would be a multi-access line which you hang hosts or DNS servers from unless it has a CIDR of 30 or higer, then it would be a WAN link and S0/1 would directly connect...

I'm looking to put my DVD collection on a hard-drive and setup a share so I can play them on the TV through a Android mini PC. Anyway, I don't have any experience ripping DVD's, someone at school said they use DVDshrink. Does anyone recommend anything else? I have Windows 7 (32 bit). Thank you.

Yes. Same thing. VLSM is Variable Length Subnet Masking - this creates different subnets within an IP range (Subnetting a Subnet); VLSM takes not only each individual LAN into account, but also the WAN links connecting them. Supernetting is the opposite of subnetting in that network bits are...

I really appreciate this, it all makes perfect sense. This stuff is getting fun, we learned how to Subnet and Supernet Friday and are learning how to VLSM next week. Thanks again.

So my homework for the weekend is to identify each byte in several packet captures. My question is: Is layer 2 always the Ethernet Header (destination MAC, source MAC, and Protocol type)? Also, when they ask for the Application Protocol I should refer to the Source Port not the Destination...

Thanks. I'll give it a go

What would the actual script look like. Would it a for-in-do style? for %%d in (/home/john) do chmod 777 *.sh I'm not sure where the second part of the variable would go or if I would need it.

Anyone own the mini android pc, I need something new to tinker with and i'm not sure what to get. I originally wanted a raspberry pi but the processors are kinda crappy. Any ideas? I'd like to keep it under $150.

Would it be possible to write a script to chmod all files ending in .sh to change permissions to say 777? I'm practicing my UNIX Scripting and before I run the script from the command-line I have to change the execution bit or I get denied. I would like to create all my scripts then run my...

It's probably not worth buying parts for depending on how old it is. What web browser are you using - Chrome takes a lot of juice and would be slow if your computer is old. Click start and type msinfo32 in the search bar and hit enter. This will give you your processor speed and other info...

Just tried it and rebooted with no joy. It still shows up as a start-up program? I even downloaded the Windows Sysinterals Suite and used the (procexp.exe) Process Explorer, it's like a super task-manager for those that are unfamiliar. I defiantly recommend downloading the Suite for those...

My wife downloaded something and this happened to get downloaded. I uninstalled it from control panel and restarted my computer only to find out it was still a start-up item via (run "msconfig"). From there it gave me the actual path to the main folder (c:\Program Files) and I deleted it from...

strollin, it worked. I appreciate it. The simplest syntax gets me every time, especially with UNIX scripting since there comparison operators are opposite of Perl and I think everyone else.
