My router (ASUS RT-N56U, running the latest WRT based firmware) does support and respect packet tagging, as do my two smart switches, so tagging is not wasted here. I do in fact want manual tagging - so I can enforce not only the bitrate, but priority of Bitcasa packets. It does work very well...

Yeah, it is outgoing traffic, and ideally I do want the QoS tagging done on the machine rather than router, as my switches are all QoS aware. I still haven't found a way that's built in to Windows. It's looking like some sort of bespoke arrangement of Powershell and scheduled tasks may be the...

The ASUS cards are never listed with their proper specs. eg, the D2X is ASIO compliant, but you won't find that mentioned in the spec. The only hint on the ASUS site is under the support/downloads section, where the driver updates mention bugfixes related to ASIO. I've used it with Cubase, and...

As the subject suggests, I want to vary my QoS policies on my server according to the time of day. The reason is that I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and they have a traffic management policy. I am mirroring a large amount of data to Bitcasa (over 2TB), and need that to happen as fast as...

OK, the problem is now solved, although the reason doesn't make much sense. In the advanced settings for this printer driver, there is a tick box for "Advanced Printing Features". This is ticked by default, and it is still ticked on all the other Win 7 PCs that have no printing trouble. Out of...

This one has got me stumped, so I'm hoping someone has a trick not found in an extensive Google search! I've been upgrading a number of PCs from Windows XP to Windows 7 (all machines were actually Win7 or Vista when bought and downgraded, so all compatible). There are 3 PCs that matter here...

Hi all, first post... I've been trying to find a reason for my newish HTPC overheating, and subsequently doing an immediate power-off (no shutdown). I'm assuming it's reaching a thermal limit, but I can't see how this is possible. The setup is a Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 mainboard and 16GB Kingston...
