Internet through Cable line or Satellite

I have read online that there are fiber cables ran through the Oceans to reach other continents in order to provide internet connection.
I have also read that internet connection is provided through Satellites somewhere in the Orbit, and there is no need to run cables from one end of the globe to another.

I am not sure which approach is used to have people in the world connect to Internet.

Any Expert to shade some lights on this ?

Thanks

I'm currently facing an issue with CUPS. I recently discovered that the job ID is always appended before the job-name when CUPS sends out the job.

Due to requirements, I'm required to send a file between servers, 1 of them being a print server, and the other using CUPS. They must communicate with each other using the "Internet Printing Protocol (http)" mode on the CUPS interface.

The print server is receiving the print job properly, and the job is able to print successfully, except for one minor detail: the filename on the printer is always shown to be "#### - Original filename" instead of just "Original filename", where #### is the number representing the job ID.

After conducting some research and poring through the logs, I found that CUPS' http backend (/usr/lib/cups/backend/http) was the cause of this appending of job ID, resulting in the "job-name" IPP attribute to be changed.

I have 2 questions:

Is there a setting or configuration value that can remove this appending of job ID?

Is there a way to modify http backend by ourselves to adjust its behaviour? (I opened up the http backend file in an attempt to modify it ourselves, but it seems to be an executable instead of a CUPS filter, so I'm unsure of how to go about doing it)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When click on an email link in Internet Explorer, it does not open the default email program, but a new page opens up asking to add an email account instead.   Can this be fixed so that the default email program is opened?

Dumb question.  Do the companies have to register their domains based on their country code?  For example, if my business in Canada, do I have to register as company.ca ?  What prevents me to register as .com?

Hi,

We have a Windows 10 PC connected via a wired ethernet connection to our router.

To test the stability of this ethernet connection, we have run a continuous ping test via command line.

One of the results back have displayed that 1 out of 4 packets were lost (25% loss).

This test was initially ran to test for disconnects or problems with the wired internet connection.

What is the significance of the ping test and how does the 25% loss reflect on wired internet connection for this PC?

Thanks,
Robbie

Hi all

I have1Cisco ASA 5525x, 1 3900 Router and 2 Internet connections. what is the best deployment method to supported what I have.



1. Should both Internet connections connect to Firewall Interfaces ?

2. Should  Both Internet connections connect to the Internet router ?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Issue #1: I currently have 1 gig Internet speed (service) from my local cable provider BlueStream.  For months I have had an annoying intermittent problem with their service.  There are times when the service will completely go down multiple times in one day, but each time it goes down, it may be for only 1 or 2 minutes and then it right back up as if nothing had happened.  The modem did NOT reboot, perhaps the indicator light may go out and back on, but that's it.  This happens about 5 or 6 days per month, sometimes more.  

Issue #2: The second issue is when I go to ANY random site, the web page will NOT load properly or not load at all.  However, as soon as I hit F5 to reload it pops right on in a millisecond.  I get this on 3 different browsers, Edge, Firefox and Chrome.  I have tested my connection MANY times using http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest and usually the tests results are very good to excellent. BlueStream has been out to my home 5 different times for these issues.  I am on my 4th modem and two different models.  They have also rewired the outside lines and checked most everything outside of my house.  Nothing has fixed this issue.  

In contrast, I disconnected my ethernet connection and reconnected to my internet hot spot on my iphone and at only 8MB/s I was loading pages faster with no problems as I outlined in issue #2.

By pure luck, the last time they were out they actually SAW this problem "live" for the first time (Issue #2) and saw it happen.  …

Hi everyone, i was connected to a VPN for a few days and everything works fine. But yesterday, from overnight, the client Junos Pulse Secure starts giving me the error 1329 while i was trying to reach a connection to the server.


I work with this VPN in different computers but it just throw me that error in this one ( which, by the way, is the last one i start using).

I'll be grateful if anyone can bring me some light over this.

Thanks

Virgin Media is my broadband provider in the UK.
I have members of my household utilising the broadband for running nodes etc for 24/7 bit coining mining etc.  Whilst this not only consumes wasted electricity that I am paying for, it is also consuming my bandwidth.

What settings can I change in my Virgin Media superhub to essentially block all these types of activities and others which I might not be fully clued up on.  I don't want to block individual PCs by mac filtering, only port numbers and such sites other than web sites and youtube etc.

I don't want to enter into any moral debates with individuals here either pls, just facts to block my router from running these type of services.

Hello Experts!
very happy new year !!

One of our customers uninstalled a program they had for several months its called "FACEBOOK BLOCKER."
Now they need to access facebook for some of their activities so they uninstalled that software

Problem is still they cant access...

I have reset internet options but still, Facebook is blocked...
What else can I do here?

Hello,

For about a week now, Google defaults to Germany and our ISP (G3) investigated their settings and said they’re all correct.
 
We’re a little stumped as to the cause and need some help troubleshooting.
 
Thanks

Hello EE,

Our VPN firewall prevents ipV6 (blocks) so our Visual Studio debugger is failing to connect.
I wonder if anyone knows of a way in Visual Studio to turn off ipV6 and only use IPv4.

I get error below...

I was working earlier today.

Can not  access from any chrome and firefox as well.

TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 is already turned on in IE. Tried removing it and adding back in but no luck.
Server is : Windows Server 2012 R2

Error below
