IT BS thread

Creates broadcast domains...

 

crap LOL.

I did know what a routing table is then. It's like the netstat command in windows...

Well i feel stupid

 

Uhhhh... it IS the 'route print' command in Windows. netstat shows open/connected/listening/established/etc connections...

 

Lol, my buddy opened a ticket with one of those achievements yesterday.

 

Well I haven't been able to look at either command right now. I have quite a few tabs open in chrome and I'll run out of ram opening up virtualbox

 

Uh... ok?

I didn't think you needed vbox to look at route table. Every workstation has a route table of some sort.... Like I said earlier, route -v on Linux.

 

What would it be on Mac's terminal? I tried the same command and all i get is "usage: route [-dnqtv] command [[modifiers] args]"

I don't have access to Linux right now

 

route -v should work on mac as well since it it running a linux kernel

 

BSD, but yea.

Try route -v. Ewwww mac . myname150, usually mac people don't even know what a terminal is, so I guess that's a start lol.

Edit - oO, evidently on mac's you do use netstat -nr or just -r to print the routing table... Wacky.

Source.

 

silly macs, command lines are for nerds.

 

Have a problem. I have a seperate numbers key pad on right. When I lock down the num lock key. My J becomes 1,k=2,l=3 and so. It never use to do this. How do I stop it and still keep num lock locked?

 

Is this a laptop? Strange if you have a dedicated 10-key area, why they would even place numbers over the function keys...

Anyhoo, have you checked the BIOS? Perhaps there's some settings thar. Are you using two keyboards or...?

 

Try Function key + Numlock. That will probably toggle the number pad on & off.

 

lol thanks. I know that Mac and Linux share a similar core so most commands transfer over.

The Netstat here on Mac though is completely different than what ive seen in windows and the example of a routing table i saw here. I do know that "en0" means that its going through my ethernet adapter, which makes sense. I see lo0 too, so thats probably that loopback i see ocassionaly

 

Yes I am using a laptop. Where would I look in the bios? Is the function key mark fn? Thanks for all the help.

 

yes, typically the function key is fn.

in the bios i just poke around and don't change any thing unless i know what it is.

 

This ^^. There might be some numlock or keyboard related settings.

I've still never heard of a laptop that has a dedicated 10key section, AND the FN numlock overlays on the keys...

Dumb question, but the FN key isn't stuck down, is it?

 

No stuck keys.

 

Just got an HP business deskop in that has a terabyte hard drive in it... doesn't that seem like overkill, especially with HP pushing cloud computing so hard?
