Free Download Problem

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Something went wrong with the hosts system today, our free download email link wasn’t working for most of the day. It started working again just before 18:00 GMT, and it looks like some of the requests got delivered.

No reply from Hosts as to what the problem was at present.

Replied, said it was the mail server, and it shouldn’t happen again. I sent some test message’s and they arrived  in minutes. Maybe it was working last in first out?  Anyway all the mail arrived up to 8 hours late.

It only appeared to be a problem when I filled in the Free Download and  Contact Us forms?

Wireless NAS a step to far?

Monday, February 4th, 2008

It’s been around for a couple of years, how long before it has Gigabyte wireless. For heavy users it’s become essential.

As it’s pretty certain to have Gigabyte Ethernet as well,  you could use the wireless for mobile users, but even that seems a bit pointless if you already have an wireless AP, I have just read that an Iomega unit had a firmware upgrade that removed the AP facility on one of there models.

 Can see the wireless being a problem, causing conflicts with other units that you or your neighbours may have.

I don’t have a problem as I have one wireless AP and everything else is hard wired. Fortunately I live in an old house where the floorboards are easy to get up. And while I was at it I ran two cables to each room.
