Hi! I have a ..hm... small probl

Crossover cable
Actually, I think bob was referring to the minimum length, which would be 1 meter. -
vlans and wireless
Wow, that's a huge question; or two. I'd try the IEEE website if you want to read the spec sheet on the 802.11b wireless protocol (something like 11Mbps), but the VLAN thing is another matter. Can you be more specific? What is it you are trying to do that's not working over your wireless... -
Experience in upgrading 5.5.3 to 6.0.2
budget about 5 minutes per GB of indexes for the actual conversion, more if your server is doing anything other than the Legato upgrade. Check the indexes prior to converting (nsrck -F) and repair/rename and rebuild any that are unreconcilable. In the case of an 80GB index total, that's a few...- mercenary

Sorry if this has been asked before
you mentioned updating the sd.conf file. You are probably using LP7000 or LP8000 HBAs: have you updated the lpfc.conf file as well? -
Networker device disabled
um, don't panic just yet. There is a little quirk with I/O errors and labeling tapes that you need to take a peek at. Every time you mount a blank tape to label it, the device will report an I/O error. If you repeatedly mount blank tapes to label them, your consecutive errors will jump...- mercenary

CAT 3/5 punchdown training
Sounds like you already have a 110 block, the PBX, and a bunch of cabling in place. Why not just post a couple of questions here and get them answered? Honestly, there's not much to cross connects. If you're punching down to a prewired board, it's all pretty straightforward. 66 block work is... -
cable in sydney
seriously, buy the whole box and terminate it yourself. For what you will spend on one 150' (50M) preterminated cable, you could almost pay for the 1000' spool and the RJ-45 ends. Plus, when someone runs a chair over that cable, you can just make another one! -
bizar problem: we use legato 5.1 f
Is it possible that you are backing up a lot (read, thousands) of little tiny files at that time? Check the filesystem and see what the makeup of your files looks like. It sounds like everything is working fine, since the backup speed is cruising nicely for the beginning and end of the job...- mercenary

fiber optic cable
...and extending what kcottrcdd said- this is why we never use wire ties on fiber, ever. Your installer/tech might think the tie is fine, but fine for one is loose for another, and so on... use velcro instead if you need to secure a fiber patch or cable. Also, a good rule of thumb for fiber... -
asus v6600 deluxe capture issue "...a video port is required..."
Have you tried the nVidia reference drivers for that card?- mercenary

Video bios upgrade?
First, it's probably not the video bios you want, but the motherboard bios. In any event, it's the manufacturer who could (if they were around) provide you with that upgrade. If you don't find a major manufacturer's name on the board (Asus, Abit, Intel, etc.) it will be almost impossible to...- mercenary

SQL agent install?
Not sure if this is helpful, but I never could get the SQL agent running right with Arcserve 6.5 and SQL under WinNT 4.0, so I took the cheap way out- I dumped the database at regular intervals to a seperate volume and backed up the resulting dump as a file as opposed to backing up the database...- mercenary

Fiber - how
I would take caution with one of the recommendations above. Since you are trying to go 3/4 - 1 mile away, you will be using Single-Mode fiber as opposed to Multi-Mode fiber. The difference in termination is significant, and for an investment of this order, I would run away from any installer...
