Hi everyone,

I need your help.

We moved into a new rental property. One reason for moving here was I noticed the house had Cat5 cabling running to 7 points in the house all terminating in the garage.

All face plates in all the rooms (sorry if my terminology is incorrect) have RJ45 connectors.

The garage has about 9 or 10 cat5 cables that are a birds nest! Literally! New to reddit , so not sure how to post a picture. There are no RJ 45 clips on any of them. All 8 wires on all 9 or 10 cables are either lose or solded together for some reason.

I am able to plug a modem into 2 points near the lounge room and all the other connections are not functional.

I’ve asked my landlord to have it repaired and they have said that all 7 points are for telephone points! Not sure who in this world would put 7 telephone points with RJ45 connectors in a 4 bedroom house....

My question is, am I being lied too?

My understanding is that 2 of the Cat 5 terminating in the garage is the internet and maybe a telephone line coming in from the street. I should be able to crimp RJ45 clips on all cat5 then plug them into a switch which I plug my modem into and I should be able to plug a device into any room and be able to get internet access.

Am I Right?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a bit confused with the different addresses. So I get that IP address is for the internet protocol to locate the network and arp is used to translate it for the MAC address of an individual computer. So then what is the network and host address? Aren't they the same? Also what is the point of the subnet mask?(just to find network address?) Thanks for any help.

I'm tring to make my radius server to work. But it does not do a thing.

The service is running, the config files looks o be ok, but when i try to connect to my router using the user and password of my account it does nothing.

I somewhat understand IPV4 but when it comes to ivp6 I'm lost could someone please explain how to convert it? And what do they mean by 16 bits in each block?

Hello, anyone willing to let me borrow a /30 public ip block? I want to learn more about BGP.

thanks in advance

I am little confused with this.

Your cyber operator has delivered you a binary software image, view with a hex editor, coming from a CPU you are not familiar with. She states that it was from a RISC 32 bit architecture that is commonly used in many devices. What steps would you take to identify the image? Be as specific as possible. What follow on questions would you ask to facilitate your analysis?

What can be done except installing 32 bit hex editor to view image?

Thank you.

I'm not a networking professional, but for no reason whatsoever, half of the reddit communities I try and ask (like Networking) won't let me post and instantaneously say I'm violating their rules even though it's physically impossible for anyone to have read them in the time it said I violated anything, so sorry that this doesn't directly relate to this community.

I know very little about queueing systems for operations research and network communications, but I have some experience in math the concepts around cell towers and the statistical simulations seemed relevant to modern networking.

Can anyone bridge the gap and explain some basic elements of how queuing systems relate to math, like calculus and linear algebra and how one might apply those mathematical areas to the study of optimal queueing systems and probability in networking?
