An IP ending in .128 is perfectly normal for any normal class subnet. /24 for example yes I agree. However as soon as you subnet in any form, .128 becomes a network identifier (with some exceptions, /31 and /32 for example) and when given a public IP address by an ISP it is, in my experience...

You think they'd have a Class C subnet for a range of public IPs? How would that work? :S

Sorry >.< My brain was in laptop mode with the PCMCIA. Your best bet for the budget then is maybe building your own and grabbing a cheap mobo and case with plenty of expansion slot and then get the components building from there? $44 and 2 PCI expansions that could have NIC's and also a...

Can't you just use USB to Ethernet as opposed to PCIe NICs? And you you mean PCIe or PCMCIA?

Hi Guys, I've been given a public IP address by a German company that ends in .128 . Every time that I have asked for subnet mask they just keep bizarrely refusing to elaborate and spamming me with screenshots of my IP. What I'm not sure on is that if I'm ending in .128 the only way that this...

Hi Guys, I have a 8-port managed switch and on one of the ports I have a Wireless AP that is acting as a bridge. I monitor the AP remotely via SNMP but what I was hoping to do is disable the switchport and only enable it when the AP needs to communicate with the rest of the network. Easy...

I can confirm I was just having this same issue and again, moving from USB3 to 2 solved this instantly.

Hi Guys, Thought I'd better update this. Turns out it was a RAM issue. I went to my BIOS and the RAM had ECC enabled and I had previously manually set the speed. I reverted the Speed to auto and disabled ECC, and voila. Lovely stable gaming platform. Been playing BF4 at 70 - 80 FPS all on...

If I were to get a PSU then, lets say 850W to be safe. What would my best bet be with that kit and MoBo?

Hi Guys, I've recently built a system with a R9 290, an FX-8350 and a Corsair Enthusiast TX V2 650W to power it all. My question is that whilst playing BF4 (all on ultra, nom nom) I have now had 3 or 4 random black screen crashes that literally just crash out my PC to black and I have to...

Final build is looking like the following:

gah I'm so conflicted then! What say you Tom's hardware?! AMD or Intel?! FX-8350 or i5 - 4670K ?!?!?!

Sexy :). And conforms to my AMD lust. My Original build had the FX-8350. However all of the Benchmarks that I could find, the i-5 kicked the crap out of it in gaming performance? :( Tell me that i'm wrong and i'll gladly consider the above! :D Great price for the SSD!

Cool thanks for the advice so far. Wasn't 100% on the socket (being only AMD before) , and the PSU in which case if you reckon the 650W will be ok saves me a bit of money as I already have 650W! :) Also, I have an Arctic Pro II CPU cooler at the moment. Looks very similar to the one you...

Hi Guys, I'm a long time AMD follower finally looking at going for an Intel as convinced by a friend. Please let me know what you think of the system. My budget is around £1000 and I'm happy for any suggestions at all really. images
