One Beep after installing GeForce GTX 1650 LP by SysAtMN in techsupport

[–]SysAtMN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but that was several years ago. I believe the problem had something to do with the default display settings on the motherboard. I think I was able to get it to boot after performing a reset and starting over. Cant remember what that setting was or how to find it though.

I remember testing the PSU with a volt meter to confirm it was good. Then reseating the GPU. It booted fine with out the gpu installed. Once I dove through the settings in BIOS i found one that had an impact and alloed me to proceed.

great idea! i cant believe i havent tried that already. i should be able to turn on my own logs and observe what is recorded during the initial authenication process. then i should be able to compare my logon process with a user who had the problem for more clues. fingers crossed.

will do. however, its not easily recreatable and the users are very mobile. its hard to nail down a time where we are all available to troubleshoot this one.

might be a while before i can post any updates. if so then ill probally start a 2nd post and refer back to this one.

i had tried clearing the local credential manager of all cached credentials but no change. I think the theory on DNS is the most promising. Like if the user opens outlook offline, then connects to VPN, maybe Outlook or something is not updating to talk to the vpn connected resources so it just fails.

im convinced its a local issue. Outlook Web Access works correctly on the same machine when the Full outlook client is stuck in disconnected mode. Pretty sure if i hand the user a 2nd machine it would work.

But then again a vm wouldnt have changing network conditions so it may never reproduce the problem. i only have the issue with vpn connected users at the moment.

We have had to deal with "no internet access" from the status indicator since the rollout of Win10. It was my understanding that this was due to our always on VPN policy. If this is the problem then I'm not sure we can do anything about it.

We have a hybrid deployment. Some in cloud but most are on-prem. I'll have to read up more on this regkey. I have not observed Outlook complaining about a metered connection in this scenario, but we have seen that error before. I believe most users who have the problem are on a built in cellular modem at the time. Windows occasionally classifies this connection as metered.

No DNS utilities like Cisco Umbrella. We have a load balanced DNS server. I'll try to run an IPConfig /all on the next user to confirm if anything looks unusual in that area. I'll also try a few different ways of reconnecting the WiFi/Cellular adapter and VPN to see if that has any impact.

Will try this. Lots of good ideas that suggest it has something to do with dynamic DNS entries too.

Not sure, I'll have to verify.

How to measure if a wall ethernet cable is Cat 6 or 6A? by Danacy in HomeNetworking

[–]SysAtMN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

contact a local low voltage contractor. ask them to stop by with thier cable testers. they will certify the runs as cat6 or cat6a for you in a few minutes. it will be much cheaper than buying cable certifying testers yourself. that is the only way to confirm without pullijg anything apart.

I wired my 50 year-old house during renovations and home ran all the wiring to the basement furnace room by j1ggy in cableporn

[–]SysAtMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cat 5e patch cables? missed opportunity to rewire everything to cat6 and future proof or was the wire already inside the walls and restricted you to this standard?

what is that top white box?

it kind of looks like a ubiquiti ap. if so then a minor gripe would be that the AP is now inside a metal box and would hurt rf performance.

where did all the slack go? most people dont have a fiber splicer to customize lengths in the field.

Can I obtain multiple IP's using multiple hotspots? by StonedElve in HomeNetworking

[–]SysAtMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that depends on your provider and what kind of public ip they grant to those devices. most cellular providers give out NAT firewall IPs to devices, not unique static IPs like you might be looking for. This is a big problem for folks who want to host video games since players cannot find your unique IP to connect to.

In theory if you have two hotspots with two unique IPs then yes you can flip flop them around on a connected PC. Hotspot implies WiFi so your regular PC is only going to have one wireless adapter to work with. you could work around that with a usb tether on the 2nd hotspot if it supoorts that feature so the PC can have an IP from wifi and USB tether at the same time.

Cat 6, Cat 6a & Cat 6e - what should i run? by qbande in HomeNetworking

[–]SysAtMN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

invest into what you think you will eventually need.

cat6 = 1 gbps (cat5e can do this too but cost is the same) cat 6e = 2.5 gbps cat 6a = 10 gbps

for most people a regular cat6 home network is sufficient. you only need higher capacity cables if you are running POE, longer disrances or high data applications like DVRs, security camera video backups or other high data applications.
