BP6.Com

Good to see everyone here. I remember when I used to spend allot of time here. I still check it out once in awhile. I still have my original BP6's running. One is a file server and one is just an internet machine. I did however pick up another BP6 off of epay for only $19.00 including a couple of ve...

Double post sorry

Double post ..... sorry

I am amazed at the lack of response on 3 different forums. It's a little mind boggling. I'm not going to find an answer so this board goes in the trash. Anyone want a couple of 366 cellies with Thermaltake Golden Orbs? As inactve said, rudeness and lack of civility will get you nowhere. That being ...

I'll tell you what., I ran my site for over 2 years on a BP6 and it never even balked at the setup. But if you are looking for a GREAT server MB get on ebay and find a Tyan 2510 or 2518. I have both and they are just rock solid. They are only for servers though. They take dual P3's have 2-64 bit slo...

You know, after reading all the differences and looking at what I would get, I think I'll stick with XP Pro for the wifes system. I, on the other hand have seen no reason to convert back to anything MS for myself. I've been using linux only for about three years now and since I switched to Kubuntu I...

Well I know exactly what you guys mean. I still enjoy gaming but at a very reduced amount. For example, I bought Painkiller back in June and I just finished it about a week ago. It was fun. Then My wife bought me half-Life 2 for my birthday back in November and I bet I have that one finished by .......

I've had real good luck with http://www.astaro.com. their product is easy to set up and it runs great. Its also free for home useage.

What you're talking about(in the origial post) Is somthing called NIC Teaming. Its software that will actually multithread the data path between two nics. In otherwords the two nics appear to the rest of the LAN as one device. It will only have 1 ip. It woks much like trunking in Cisco. Server grade...

This is avery interesting read. Its refreshing to see everyone discussing Linux instead of screeching about their distro. I have used Slack, Mandrake, Redhat and others. I think the battle for the desktop is coming and The great thing about it is the choice. It really doesn't matter what distro you ...

I agree, the BP6 is an awesome little server. I have it running a lot of tasks; it never rests and it gets the job done well.

Spamming?????? I hope thats a joke!!! Jez I've been a bp6.com fan for years . From the very begining...

I have to Admit it!!! The BP6 is a board that just doesn't ever give up. About two and a half years ago My BP'er lost its IDE controllers. I thought it was goner for sure. So I built a Tyan 2507t(a very nice board). I decommisioned the old BP'er. We had been through allot together and it was tough. ...

lets see make it faster....... Uninstall it and load Linux

Sounds like you could use some help. Although i haven't posted it yet i will be have a How-To on http://www.linuxloader.com that will cover building a web server. The file you want to edit is /etc/httpd/conf/vhost/Vhost.conf thats for 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 . Its the virtual hosts config file for apache. If ...

Hey v65 welcome to the BPer board. I have a couple of these boards running. If you're into hacking go for the dual p3 hack. I run mine the old fashioned way. Dual 366@500. I use one of mine for a web server. You fill it up with ram and put a SCSI raid card in there and that board will do a great job...

I have one of these boards. Its the last ECS I'll ever buy. Mine was 1year and 2 days when it quit on me. I of course contacted ECS and got no reply after 4 emails. I finally called them and they told me they got my emails and since my bord was out of warranty by 2 days they didn't need to respond. ...

I realize this is an old thread but I have a few Observations. I have replaced many many caps on motherboards. My latest was a "throw away" from work. Its an older IBM P3 out of a 200zx I think. Anyway It hav almost every cap exploded. After replacing 14 Caps on the board it runs fine. In fact My so...

Get on Ebay and get an Adaptec or Compaq or even a Dell. They all are either Adaptec or LSI chipsets and they are supported very well. I picked up a Dell/Adaptec 39160 for $35. That's 160Mhz. My Chetah's respond very nicely to it. You just have to wiat for the good deals. I picked up another lot of ...

That is very cool. I think I'll stick with My Neo's since I preordered a dozen many many moons ago. I have 2 left and I think I'll look for a pair of 1 gig cpus. I have an alterier motive though. I want to put this BPer on a 160Mhz SCSI drive, fill it with 133Mhz ram, and run some tests to see how w...

First Level Business class cable 3meg down 768 up

I have the first level of Business class from RoadRunner. It gives me 3 meg down and 768 up. I host all my own sites. I also host my own mail and ftp. I just couldn't stand not being able to get to the box at 2:00am when I try something and it blows it up.... I mean I'm, I'm "tweaking" the site. (ye...

Being a Linux user, the choice was obvious. Nvidia support is lightyears ahead of ATI for Linux. I am typing this on my Docked Dell Latitude running Mandrake 9.2. It has an ATI rage Mobility and in order to get it to work docked I have to use a vesa driver. I configured another (later) Dell for a co...

This could ge kind of involved. 1 First I have business class cable with 3meg down and 768 up 2 Then into my Astaro firewall that runs on a 200Mhz 9Gig 128MB Scsi box 3 Off that is my Cisco 2950 24 port switch thats vlaned for my lan and a DMZ 4 In the DMZ is a BP6 w366@500 3-9G Barracudas in raid 5...

Well lets see. I have one Bp running with an old Compaq 4MB card. Its a Cirus logic chip set I think. It doesn't really matter because its my Apache web server anyway. The other BP has run: STB Velocity 4400 Geforce Geforce 2TI 64meg Geforce 5600 256Meg and its now on a Voodoo 3000 Its never had any...

How those Scsi's working. Once you SCSI you never go back!!!! I can't use any else now I am completely spoiled.
