My job would be so much better if I never had to deal with Parallels. I work in a University environment that's maybe 85% Windows-based, with a few people that (edit: want) Macs. I don't hate Macs. I'm not as good at using them as I am a Windows machine, but that isn't their fault. I wish they fit into our AD structure a bit better but it works, so whatever. What bothers me is that 90% of the people that want Macs turn around and want Parallels installed on it so that they can run Windows, which they then use as their primary machine. So we're spending  Apple-money to buy a machine that has less hardware capability than an equivalently-priced Dell, and then further hobbling it by making it run two OSs at the same time.

We have the same problem at my organization. People specifically buy macs and then want visio or project so we end up with vmware fusion or parallels so they can use the full office suite anyway and nothing unique to OSX anyway. Macs are just a status symbol imo.

Pissing me off today, Zebra QL series mobile label printers.... These printers speak 2 main languages. (called CPCL and ZPL) However you can never really just use one of them. When it comes to configuration, some of the settings are in one language, and the rest in the other. If you need to change some settings, you have to go digging through both programming manuals to find them. So you end up running commands like this to change the settings you need: code:And its just not limited to settings. When printing labels, there are some things you cannot do one in language, so you have to use the other. Makes developing for them really fun.

What labels are you printing that bartender wouldn't make things easier then custom scripting them?

Jesus christ I'm so fed up of playing musical chairs moving loving desks around every few months for the stupid sales team. We should just bolt castors onto loving everything and get a poo poo load of wireless APs to ease their reseatting fetish, better yet have the funding to do a full refresh of mounted monitors with mini pc's attached which are all the exact same so nobody gets precious about their bullshit all in one machine.

How am I so bad at networking? I am trying to setup a CentOS DHCP/DNS server at work. Devices get an IP. Server can ping all devices. Server can ping out, meaning DNS forwarding works. Server can ping internal aliases. Clients can't ping internal aliases. Clients can't ping out. Clients DO get the internal aliases IP address though. tcpdump shows no errors at all, even with -vv. What in the gently caress?

I don't think the remote consultant I'm working with understands time zones. He scheduled a phone meeting with a third party, and when I asked if the meeting he could confirm that the meeting time given was for CST (written out fully in the email), he replied, "Yes eastern time". Really wish I knew for sure what time the meeting is set for.

Or is this goober trying to wrangle everyone with plain old emails? Because I'll be honest, if my meetings don't get blocked out in my calendar with meeting invites, I don't show up. I have too many for me to keep track of that crap manually.

Are the clients getting the correct subnet mask as well as the gateway? And no other static routes involved? If you gave them a /8 mask when they're really on a /24 then they would still be able to reach their gateway when you ping it directly, but wouldn't attempt to use it to reach other addresses. In fact now that I think about it, if they have a mask of /0 it would explain all of your symptoms, assuming the DHCP server is on the same actual subnet but the internal aliases are on a different one.

ratbert90 posted:Yes. Your issues aren't dhcp or dns then. Without knowing your setup I would assume a vlan isn't being trunked or vlans in general are hosed. I would assume a client with a static ip isn't working either. If you have tried that and it does then you are overlooking something obvious.

This sounds like something that happened in an environment I once worked with where the VMs were built on a different subnet with DHCP and then assigned to boot to their intended subnet next time, so it looked like networking was working initially except the farm didn't have the destination vlan piped to it.

Everything matches up and dhcpd is doing it's job correctly afaik. Sickening posted:Your issues aren't dhcp or dns then. Without knowing your setup I would assume a vlan isn't being trunked or vlans in general are hosed. More than likely this. The old setup had 5 vlans among 3 switches all of which I got rid of in favor of a single vlan (we don't have more than 50 devices connected to this network at any given time let alone 254+). I checked with the CEO who is a CCIE about my config of the switches and he said they all looked fine, but he may have overlooked something. Basically the setup is this: Client -> HP ProCurve 26xx switch -> patch panel HP ProCurve 26xx switch -> DHCP/DNS Server -> Gateway. The switches are both using just the default Vlan and there isn't any trunking going on. Subnet is /24 IP range is 10.42.0.15 -> 10.42.0.254 Gateway is 10.42.0.1 DHCPD server is 10.42.0.2 Corporate is on it's own 10.10.151.x network that the engineering network can't see, which is intended as each computer in engineering has dual NICs for this purpose. - The DHCP/DNS server can ping the gateway/internet/hostnames set by bind. - The Addresses being assigned to clients are all within that range. - The clients are getting /24 netmasks. - The clients can ping the gateway. - The clients are getting 10.42.0.2 as the dns resolver. Am I doing anything obviously wrong here? FlapYoJacks fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jan 30, 2016 |

ratbert90 posted:
This confuses me. map out the layer 2 and layer 3 networks. then draw some sort of diagram over time with the connections. and when they fail. If clients get a config from DHCP, and can resolve a name via the DNS server, then the problem probably has nothing to do with the server. At that point it is an IP packet from the client to the gateway which is going nowhere. either the packet is not reaching the gateway, or the gateway is not forwarding it. The idea of checking the subnet mask is good, as is checking the routing and ACLs on the router. My guess will be subnet masks put in wrong on the router? 255.255.255.0 instead of 0.0.0.255 or something similar?
