@MattSpeller I read every post you do in Ron Swanson's voice

it has been a while since I have been on the networking train so I just want to confirm a hunch before I make myself look stupid...here's the sitch

Client computer (on metal working machine) has 2 nics. one it uses to communicate with the innerds of the machine and pass commands back and forth and the other is to connect to the coporate network for file sharing and what-not. each works independently but not together. it seems that when both are plugged in the machine commands get routed to the corporate network thus rending the machine useless. they swear that other MFG machines work fine this way. My conclusion was IP addressing.
Here is the thing,
nic one (machine) is 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0
nic two (corp) is 192.168.1.x subnet 255.255.255.0

What I think may be happening is that the MSP that set up nic 2 for the corp network gave it a /24 subnet when in fact the corporate network is /16 and has some default route for 192.168.x.x addresses? am I wrong or is this pretty much the only thing that makes sense?

@scottalanmiller I am stalwart?

@scotth yeah, i'm with you. My thought was to see if they could change the machine IP to 172.whatever to get it the heck out of any kind of possible routing issue.

if you don't know me you should know me.

Wow now I have 7 reputation points. I'm getting rep faster than high school cheerleader

It is me...I have been under a rock or something for a year! How did I not come by for almost a year. I am a terrible friend of the mango lassi. Oh well, I hope you are all a forgiving bunch and will look beyond my truancy. Be well fellow mangosians be well.

I'm working, looking out the window at one of our few sunny days so far this year wishing I wasn't working. Oh well, only 1.5 hours left.

We are running into so data retention questions with historical data and I was curious if anyone had any experience and insight into industry standards or best practices when it comes to historical data retention and databases. What I'm wondering is how long the big boys keep their data live, how they offload it and what they do with old data. For example does Amazon have all their historical purchase data since they started or do they rotate it out after a certain amount of time? Anyway, it just got me thinking so any insight or ideas are welcomed. Thanks.

Oh the millers are in the water closet together, better watch out.

Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it. We have been a small/young division since we started but now we are getting larger and older meaning questions like "Do we need or will we ever need all this data for customers that are no longer using our services?" are needing to be asked. So thanks again, all your replies have been very helpful.

Hi i'm me, nic invited me because he thinks i'm handsome

The problem is the salesman that got tied up in this doesn't know how to tell the MSP what to do to fix it and they are blaming the $100,000 machine for not working when I don't think it is the machine's fault. I'm in WA and the machine is in IL so I can't run out there and check their network...I offered

i just posted in the water closet. Isn't that another name for a bathroom. I mean i'm not opposed to posting things in the bathroom but I haven't done that since I was a teen.

then we would have a 172.x.x.x and a 192.x.x.x so there is no way they are going to talk, which is what we want

Oh I actually posted in the random thread in the water closet. I would not pick up a random thread that I found in a water closet that is for sure.

@thwr thanks for talking through this with me BTW. been a while since i ran in the networking world.
