    Don't know if this helps at this point, but the QLE2460 is what's called a HBA (Host Bus Adapter) that connects to storage arrays and provides fibre channel access to them. This is not the same as a NIC and cannot support an IP protocol.

    That's great though, thanks! It works way better than before, so I thank you very much for your help.

    Please help! Okay, so I'm a newbie to HTML and CSS. I'm in a bit of a pickle about my code. Here it is: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <!--Head--> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> </head> <!--Body--> <body> <!--Background Colour--> <body style="background-color:#323232;"> <!--Menu Bar--> <div class="header"> <img src="img/logo.png" alt="Red Fox IT logo" height="50" width="50"> <a href="index.html" class="logo">Red Fox IT</a> <div class="header-right"> <a class="active" href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="sites.html">Our sites</a> <a href="resources.html">Resources</a> <a href="services.html">Services</a> <a href="team.html">The Team</a> <a href="contact.html">Contact</a> <a href="about.html">About</a> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="icon" onclick="myFunction()"> <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> </a> </div> </div> <script> function myFunction() { var x = document.getElementById("header a"); if (x.className === "header") { x.className += " responsive"; } else { x.className = "header"; } } </script> <!--Text--> <div style="padding-left:20px"> <h1>Welcome to Red Fox IT</h1> <p>Lorem ipsum</p> </div> </body> </html> So, here is my problem As you can see, I've tried to make it responsive, but the little menu bars at the top right don't disappear when on desktop, or reveal the menu items when on mobile! And the active menu item stays there no matter what! I need them all to be hidden on mobile, and to be revealed when tapping the bars including the active item. I also want the menu bars to disappear when on desktop, replaced by the normal menu items. I have included the index.html and stylesheet Website.zip for you to have a look at, should you wish to give me a hand. (Website.zip) I get that Stackoverflow might be better for this, but I thought I'd try my favourite forum first. Also, apologies if it's something obvious. Like I say, I'm still new to this. Thanks all! Edit: The text at the top right "Red Fox IT" also responds to being hovered over. I'd also like this to be gone too, if at all possible.

    I know that they don't have to desolder them, because they tend to use a clip like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOIC8-SOP8-Flash-Chip-IC-Test-Clips-Socket-Adpter-BIOS-24-25-93-Programmer/273083703536?hash=item3f950ea0f0:g:AY0AAOSwx0FZkfCw That makes contact with the pins on the chip.

    Sorry if I'm just being dumb. I just don't understand this interface: Do these flashing devices come with some form of documentation to tell me how to go about using it?
  6. Queasy Tiger
    From the screencap on the Philscomputerlab video though, I don't understand how I would get the bios onto the chip

    I just had a little look, and (assuming that it is an inductor) it is a 10μH inductor. Is this what it looks like?
  8. Queasy Tiger
    Aha, yes. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I think that it is an Inductor. The copper winding is usually a key giveaway. The number might indicate a value of 100 μh (microhenries) I have seen it referred to as a 100μH common mode choke in my hunt to identify your component. I also am unsure that the value is correct however, as ebp from Allaboutcurcuits writes: "Inductors like that are usually marked in microhenries in standard two digits and exponent fashion: 100 means 10 x 10^0 (100 µH would be marked 101 - 10 x 10^1, 220 µH would be marked 221) Inductors of less than 10 µH might be marked with 2 digits in microhenries or 3 in nanohenries." So, you might need to investigate the value of the component, or consult an electrical engineering forum now you might have the name of it. Again, I am NOT an electrical engineer, but I think this is what you have here. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Looks like it could be an SMD mounted inductor. Could you please show a close up pic, and one from the side?

    Okay, so here is some backstory. While browsing eBay for some cheap graphics cards, I wondered upon an auction for a fake 750ti. It was clearly a fake card, as even the seller stated in the description that the card was fake, and was in fact a GTX 550ti. My curiosity was peaked, and after thinking for a few minutes, I put in my max bid at £15, and forgot about it. A few days later, I got an email from eBay saying that I had won the auction for £5.60. Pleased with my bargain, I sent the payment, and waited for my purchase to arrive. Now, I must stress that I knew about these cards at the time, and about flashing the bios to make them appear correct, but hadn't read up on the subject. I was under the impression that you could flash the bios of these cards through software, but I now know this isn't true. I would very much like to get this card working as a 550ti but nothing I have read online makes sense to me. This video from PhilsComputerLab explains the process, and provides links to some of the hardware needed (Although these links are now either dead or not being sold anymore), but I cannot figure out how he actually does it. The software for the programmer he uses seems like utter gibberish to me, and how would I get hold of the bios in the first place to flash onto it? Now excuse my ignorance, I still haven't done much reading up on the matter, but I suppose if somebody has the knowledge and can give me some insight on here, then it saves me scrolling through web pages wondering if what I am viewing is the right thing. I need to know some simple things. What hardware do I need? What software do I need for the programmer, and how do I use it? What bios do I need? Is there anything else I am missing? If someone could give me a hand, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! If you have any questions please ask.

    Okay, I don't know how I did it... But I got it working. Now to deploy the sites! Thanks to everyone for the help, it's much appreciated!

    Okay, sorry for not being active on the forum. My dad is a writer-director and I've been helping him on his latest project. Anyway. Thanks for the help, but I think I've decided how I'm gonna do it. I think I'm gonna just use a basic Debian OS, and set up everything manually. At least until i find a better solution. Thanks though!
  13. Queasy Tiger
    I use VMware too. ESXI on my servers, so that would be nice if you could. I know however, that I do need to learn to do it myself. What I'll do, is use that to get my necessities running to begin with, while I try to fix my own. If you could do that for me, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Hi, sorry for the late reply. Been busy. With WAMP, I just have difficulty figuring things out. I think it's because I'm having to use Windows, which I hate, even though I have to use it. You see, I have autism, and some things are just easy and some are just hard, and it's hard to learn new things for me, so, since I have a little experience with Apache on Debian, I am going to try setting it up again with tutorials and such. I do want to use webmin and virtualmin too. And I have heard of docker, but I don't know what it is or how it works, or what it does. I think the first thing I'm going to do is get the Apache server up and running before I get into the VPS issue. I might even scrap that idea all together. I just wish there is someone out there who would partner with me to do it. Once I have the sites back up, I will start advertising that I'm looking for partners I think. Thanks for the help though

    I do have a Windows Server 2016 licence, but I have tried using WAMP with no success. Usually errors or things simply not working. And that's the other thing, I do want to offer VPS hosting, free. No, there is no profit to be made in it, but it's a hobby, and the amount of people that ask me for a site or VPS (Mostly family and friends) is staggering, so I really want to try and get it to work. My parents pay the electricity bill luckily, so I don't lose anything either. And I understand about what I'm offering being somewhat pitiful, but I have a DL380 g6, and a DL380 G5, so resources are kinda tight.... At the very least, I want to be able to host sites. I cheat and use a drag and drop builder, but that's not the point. I have 2 people who want digital portfolio's for their art in college, and i'm at a dead end... I can't afford hosting, I got my servers for under £100.

    How is Webmin compared to Plesk? Because on lots of "Top 10 Cpanel alternative" lists it comes up as good, but the user interface makes my head spin.
  17. Queasy Tiger
    At £7.20 a month, I might be able to start using it once I get a new job. Without a stable source of income however, I cannot afford even that small amount. With that and College, I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion though, I had been looking at Plesk as an option but was unsure. I'll definitely give it a go as soon as I can.
  18. Queasy Tiger
    Thanks!
  19. Queasy Tiger
    Thanks! I'll check it out, in the meantime to anyone scrolling past, I would like to learn how to use Webmin if you are willing to teach.

    The issue is, I don't actually know how to set up virtual hosts on an apache server. I can install apache, and get it working with my network, but making config files etc I can't do. Also, what library files? Is there something I missed when trying to make a virtual host before?
  21. Queasy Tiger
    Okay let me try and remember. The first thing I did was try and add a virtual host. I used the .conf files in etc/apache2/sites-available as a base, and edited them for the new site, with the new domain. I added an index.html in /var/www/html/www-websitename (/var/www/html contains folders labelled www-sitename) Then I restarted Apache, and it didn't work. I tried a few things, before looking on a random forum and finding someone saying that it might work if I removed /var/www/html, and just put the folders in /var/www. The thread was dead, but I decided to give it a go anyway. So I did that, and edited the config files accordingly. Then, it crashed. And when I tried to reload it, it worked until I navigated a webpage or accessed FTP. Someone I know who kinda knows linux tried fixing it, and now one site works from all of my domains, but still crashes within 10 minutes of startup. I am happy to do a fresh installation of Debian.

    Hi all! Okay, so I’m in a predicament and I need help. I have a pair of ProLiant DL380’s which host my websites, web and cloud services. My Apache server is the heart of it, enabling all of them, but I’ve recently run into a bit of a problem. I am not skilled with Linux, or software for that matter, and while I can export to FTP, use simple commands and do some command line work, I focus mainly on harware. So, I partnered with someone to write code, deploy virtual hosts, and maintain the apache server. He is already a good friend, so he worked for nothing but the credit for his own site and services at www.csoftware.cf He has unfortunately fallen on hard times over the last month, and eventually became unable to assist with my servers. Unable to find someone else to help me who was willing to do it as a favour, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and learn how to make virtual hosts, and all of the other responsibilities that he had. Big mistake. My first mistake was not backing up the server files before performing a large change. My second mistake was messing with it. Now, I didn’t know about webmin until this happened, and I want to use that when I get this fixed I possible, but I need someone to teach me how to use it. So, I tried adding a virtual host myself, the old fashioned way in the daunting command line, and in the process managed to break the virtual hosts, and cause the server to crash every time I log into it via ssh or SFTP. I have all of my sites in /var/www/html backed up, however I haven’t the knowledge to re-deploy the apache server. This is where I need help. I need someone that knows enough about Linux, Apache, webmin, and web servers to help me get my services back up and running, and to teach me how to deploy and maintain my servers. In return, I will offer a VPS with 2 virtual cores, 2-4GB of RAM (You choose), 50GB RAID 10 HDD storage, and unlimited internet bandwidth (Subjective to my broadband speed of 4mb/s download, 0.4mb/s upload. Yes, it’s awful, but for database storage, ssh into linux, etc, it’s fine.) If you need to know any more details about my problem, then please ask. I’m kinda desperate. My VM for the Apache server is running: Debian 9.7.0 Apache 2.X The server is virtualised with VMWare ESXI, which luckily I know how to use. Thanks in advance!

    Ah, sorry. I'm slowly transitioning from a web host to my own home server. Here is the new link: http://redfoxit.ddns.net/cloud-computing.html The site isn't finished but yeah, the WCG team is. And thanks for the interest

    IMPORTANT EDIT: Link to my website is incorrect as I am migrating to a new datacentre! Hi all! It's been a while, but boy have I been busy! Over the last few months, I have acquired my own server! A HP ProLiant DL380 G6 to be precise. While I will post about that separately, here I would like to show you just one of the things I am doing with it. Scientific research! I am using Folding@Home and BOINC to allow my server to do computing for the greater good of mankind. To join my World Community Grid team, click here to visit my website to take you to the appropriate links. (Please be aware that my website is unfinished) Thanks for reading!

    Eh, I'm not too worried about it, it's not that big of a performance hit. I just wanted to know if I was doing something quite obviously wrong and someone could say "You idiot" and correct me. ? Thanks for the help everyone!
