Hmm
I'm really satisfied with the connection my vps' got :)
The only thing I can complain about is that my ISP seems to have sucky routing to the states
Hey, anyone able to answer a networking question?
hmm.  inbound ip6 doesn't seem to be working on my box
is there some sort of firewall?
ahh... nevermind.
my address is ::0 not ::2 :)
Skull0Inc: ask it
16 bytes from 2607:f2f8:1800::2, icmp_seq=0 hlim=56 time=125.493 ms
yes inbound / outbound v6 seems to work *grin*
it does, yes
ping6 to that from outside didn't work, but to ::0 did
::0 is indeed a fun address to use in v6, love messing with people that way `you are not in kansas anymore' wrt v4 and netmask stuff
I'm sub-netting a class B address: 172.16.x.x using /25 and then a sub-subnet of /26. However the last segment's broadcast address on the /26 subnet is equal to the same broadcast  on the /25...is this meant to be like that?
its all about power of 2 boundaries
several fall on the same numbers yes
the broadcast address is special to the os which causes it to set broadcast flags if it is indeed the broadcast address of that subnet
...so its okay to have the same broadcast address, though it be on different subnets?
the switch doesn't know a broadcast address from its left toenail, it just knows the broadcast flags on the packet
indeed it is entirely possible
okay, cool....
.255 can be a broadcast address on 7 or 8 subnets depending if you count a /31 or not as a subnet
So far I have subnet (/25)1- { 172.16.0.0 (Network) -->  172.16.0.127(Broadcast) {{ sub-subnet-1(/26 and 62 usable addresses) {172.16.0.0 (Network) --> 172.16.0.63 (broadcast) }} {{ sub-subnet-2( /26 62 usable address)  {172.0.64 (Network) --> 172.0.127(Broadcast) }}    }
that is a 126 (usable) address divided up into 2 62 (usable) addresses
does the above look right?
last one is meant to be 172.16.0.127 for the broadcast..
...if anyone can confirm, that would be good.
not positive, but this new box feels snappier than the old one
does the 2666 clock rate match the unvirtual box?
or is that a throttled value?
ahh, one reason it might faster is that another core is likely -handling most of the I/O
RandalSchwartz: clock rate in VM is equal to clock rate on host
hello
can I get custom partitioning on a VPS at arpnetworks?
npmap: the default install is just 1 partition (root), but you can perform the install  yourself via VNC and do all the custom tweaks your heart desires
the install media is left in the "CD-ROM" drive by default, so you can always reboot and boot it and have your way with it
up_the_irons: great, thanks. I plan on getting a basic VPS for now. could I be upgrade later on?
npmap: yes.  disk expansion requires about 20 minutes of downtime though
up_the_irons: that's cool
Any admin alive?
email support@arpnetworks.com iirc someone gets notified on his mobile phone
ok, I just sent a mail
Thanks
toddf, maybe I can ask you 2-3 question about atpnet?
hi
Do arpnetworks allow IRC on VPS?
Yes.
ok, do we have access to Rdns on 1024 vps?
1024mb :p
,you  can pretty much do anything with your vps's but say illegal stuff
yep normal, I want to use it for personnal stuff (coding and devlopement)
do we have access to RDNs and What's the VPS uplink connectivity?
up_the_irons can take care of RDNS for you.
