well, testing transparent proxy again, with bypasses for the DVRs...

Meanwhile, looking at a Buffalo WHR-HP-GN or two....

Guess I may be looking at the new router thing...but for both.

Silly me...while poking around, I had re-setup a local webserver so I could get tcpdump onto the router. Used to be 'lhaven', but when I redid it...I didn't recreate that part. But, I still had the stuff in backup...so first I restored it there, and then remember that it would work better on a box that is running apache (so either 'box' or 'orac'...I went with 'orac' since cp from backup was easier.)

Looked at the backup directories, and thought I should do a backup of my router configs soon.

But, in pulling out the transparent proxy stuff, I decided to tweak a little of the settings....namely one of the pings that the .profile does hadn't worked in a long time and I never did add my new TiVo to rc_firewall.

Well, I did something wrong....and it bricked the router. Reset to factory and then restore the old backup (and it is a really old backup....ouch)

I think I have things working again....now do a backup :)

Well, looks like it isn't going to work...too many things on my home network don't seem to list the proxy, or the proxy doesn't like it.

IE: 3 TiVos, 2 ReplayTVs, etc.

I didn't plan my network based on needing to exempt ranges from a transparent proxy at some future date (now)....and, it is kind of a big deal to move things around now.

New remote works, and its better than the stock remote....its the one that comes with XLs.

Just as I was starting to find more and more places where the go up sometimes is right quirk causes problems.

Forgot that the Winix 9000 would need a UPS if I want it to stay one all the time.

This morning there was a 2 second outage (lightning hit somewhere)....and I woke to find the Winix 9000 off.

The 1285VA Geeksquad UPS that had been looking for a new home has been pressed into service for this...it is overkill, but new UPS for this spot will have to wait until later...

Ok, maybe not so good...looks like only one flight, and geared towards going to Chicago for the day...for business. Not really suited to my pleasure requirements.... :P

Yup, PlexRadar is the culprit that makes windows (Explorer/desktop) startup extremely slow. Google found old forum post on Plextor site has a moderator post saying remove it....solves the issues it causes. Doesn't seem to matter that I'm running newer version than that....

Well, BIOS option for NX is already set to enabled. Maybe the checking feature in lucid is just broken.
