Is your filesrv02 the actual name of the machine? I remember seeing a mention of using a DNS record... I may be wrong but IIRC DNS redirection and modern SMB don't always work together very well because Kerberos. Like I said, might be completely out to lunch on this one, still working on my 1st coffee of the day.

VLANs?

No, and this VM is on the same vlan as other VMs on the same host.

PS I've restored this VM to a completely different hypervisor and the issue persists. So either its the VM or the gateway.

Have you tried a different IP, or even power down this machine and assign the same IP to another host to see if it gets blocked? Is the restored VM using the same MAC address as the original or has the restored version got a reinitialised MAC?

Do you have access to check the logs on the gateway / edge / router to see if it's blocking / intercepting / messing with your host

@scottalanmiller Yeah... I've never really stopped to think about it, just something that I grew up hearing.....

Just for dirt, try changing the ip assigned to the problem machine and re-initializing the MAC address on the virtual NIC... feels like the edge device is blocking internet access or it's being blackholed on the way out... has anyone been testing content filters or other security solutions on the network?

@CCWTech said in Print to CSV:

From what I can tell the program we are using has a built in integration for Excel but you have to have Excel and not something like Libre Office.

Best bet would be to take a look at what the Excel output looks like and see how you can make LibreOffice create the same.... unless it's doing something really stupid and exotic you should be able to make it happen....

The only scenarios I've seen are:

• PPPoE / DSL
• Jumbo Frames
• VPNs

@NerdyDad said in DD-WRT:

There haven't been any updates to that project in a long while. I'm pretty sure that project is about dead. If you just want to hold on to that old equipment, might want to check out either Tomato or OpenWRT. Otherwise, I would definitely suggest Ubiquiti.

The 2.4 / stable is dead but there's a fresh build almost at least once a week in the beta channel.

@dbeato yeah, I've been running the current beta builds for a while, currently on one from a week or so ago.

I'll probably go for ubiquity when this dies, but it's been a champ for what I need it to do.

Anyone else on here using DD-WRT? I've been running it on a TP-Link Archer C7 v2 at home for a while now... just tried to check their site for updates and there's no listings in the downloads section anymore. Just wondering if anyone on here had any news or insight.... didn't spot anything skimming their forum really quick and I didn't see anything on the front page.... hopefully just a passing bug on the site.

how do you keep yourself warm on a day when it's minus 30 with windchill of minus 46?
Does the electricity shut down/crash/collapse? How do you keep going? that's real survival first type stuff.

Fireplace.

Not that cold, it'll cool the house rather than warming it.

That's news to me. Certainly a lot of heat is lost through it, but it may depend on how your whole thing is setup, including damper, how much air you can pull from the outside, and so on. The general, traditional idea is to have a huge hearth and chimney breast so that the bricks heat up and stay warm. In fact in the late medieval homes (well, the nice ones) they'd be so large they would weigh more than the entire house, but would also keep it fairly warm. Also other designs like the rumford-style help with heat and avoiding making it colder, but in certain situations I could see how it could make things worse. I imagine a lot of modern homes in the west especially because fireplaces are meant more to be for fanciness/style rather than function it could be the case.

Yes, most modern ones at least here have essentially no mass to them and are meant to not overheat the house. So they barely do a thing and mostly just force all the heat right out the top.

Most folks around here retrofit an insert into the older fireplaces so that they're actually useable. Either Wood, Pellet or Propane (no Natural Gas in this neck of the woods). The insert typically will have a simple variable speed blower to pull air around the firebox and blow it back into the room. We used the wood insert in the living room (Napoleon 1402) as the main heat source for 3 or 4 winters until I got fed up with firewood and replaced the oil/hot air furnace with a air to air heat pump. Haven't lit a fire in 4 years but I still keep some firewood on hand just in case we get an extended power outage.

I've always been into electronics and how things work. My first real summer job in HS (apart from yardwork / babysitting etc) was a student position setting up a CAP (Community Access Program) site, basically a gov't sponsored location where people could get online or get general computer and internet exposure. From there it was a long and winding road through an attempt at university (2 yrs) and a 7 year run doing customer service and tech support in a couple of different call centers. Due to "restructuring" I was able to return to school with gov't assistance and did a 2 yr college program in Networking and Security..... Got into Linux because I got fed up with having to fight with windows and overpriced software, cut my teeth on Slackware back in 2004 or so.

See, millenials and their Apple products, lol

Not just millennials.... My aunt and uncle who're north of 65 only have apple devices, same thing for some of the folks on the spouse's side of the family.

Is bitlocker or another encryption / security solution in play? I think bitlocker would have caused grief with the linux install in general, but I've never had the pleasure of messing around with it too much.

How about just booting a live linux? Can you see and automount the windows partition from a live disk?

Other possibility, is it ReFS instead of NTFS?

Might be a stupid question, but can you still boot into the Windows install?

Looks like this is a non-starter at work... Boss just renewed TeamViewer..... might set up a digital ocean or vultur instance for personal use... There seems to be a lot of vultur users on here but I've already got an account on DO, any significant pros / cons to either platform?
