MyCo's connectivity vicissitudes
Feb. 5th, 2007 01:49 pmYay: MyCo's new office has a wireless Internet connection via Clearwire until Verizon's cranial rectitis clears up in a couple of weeks.
Bah: The bandwidth of the Clearwire connection is much smaller than that of the Verizon one would have been (and will be). This means that our new VoIP phones render us nearly unintelligible. Gee, it's a good thing we're not doing sales or support here.
Yay: I can do work on my Linux box.
Bah: It can't talk to the VPN, upon which resides the CVS server.I can't even automount my PC or FTP to or from it -- never mind automated backups -- so if the Linux box horks its disk, I'm hosed. Fixed by rebooting both machines; the PC probably didn't know about the new domain server.
