I want to see a live layer 2 and 3 topology diagrams - routing and vlans etc. juniper space used to have such a plugin but they killed it :( the only other mention of an app capable of such a thing that I have heard of is solar winds . Network Topology Mapper Any advice or experience with such an app would be much appreciated. cheers Hamish

Anyone got information about Lightbox Streaming
by Alexander Neilson 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi All Just wondering if people knew where Spark was going to be serving up Lightbox from? Is it akamai? or another CDN system? I just looked at their base domain which seems to hit a redirect hosted in Amazon AWS and then to a register form hosted in Exact Target. Just wanting to see where the traffic will be coming from to be ready should it turn out to be popular (It does seem to be some first run stuff but still not convinced it will be amazingly popular - we will see) I didn’t find the information from my simple google search however this could be just a bad search. Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited alexander(a)neilson.net.nz 021 329 681 022 456 2326

More Xtra (Yahoo) email changes
by Martin Kealey 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Last week it was Xtra blocking outbound mail at reception. This week any message having a Xtra or Yahoo address in the From header is being rejected upon receipt from our listserver, despite the listserver using its own address in the envelope & in the Sender header. When I follow the URL in the quoted SMTP responses, it turns out that Yahoo think I should change my listserver so that the senders address does not appear in the From header. Which sucks, because we already put the listserver's own address in the Sender header (which most mail clients will then render as "From knitting circle on behalf of Jane Smith"), and as far as I know, we're following the RFCs to the letter. So have I missed something in the RFCs that permits Yahoo to do this? They're essentially saying "we don't permit our subscribers to subscribe to mailing lists unless the mailing list is deliberately broken". -Martin

Experience with Open Wireless Networks?
by B. Morgan Murrah 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hello- I wanted to enquire for anyone who may have experience or had issues with people running Open Wireless Networks and/or have any particular view to the Open Wireless movement (https://openwireless.org/)? Alongside this question I am interested in gauging how much IP Addresses are used as a token of identity for legal purposes in practice. This for the purposes of research at the Law Faculty of Otago. My apologies if this is somewhat outside of the purview of this mailing list. Any insight gratefully accepted. Regards -- B.

Probably good advice, so I gave it a go. The first person I spoke to didn't know so I was passed on to another. The response I received was. The 'send.xtra.co.nz' server will reject any address that has not been registered even if an xtra.co.nz address has been used for authentication. To register such addresses, ring the Telecom Broadband Help Desk on 0800225598. I then raised the question of whether the MFD photocopiers had been catered for as many don't provide a particularly feature-full smtp client. The answer was "I don't know, please try it and see, if it doesn't work please contact us and we will try to get it working for you". These were better responses than I had expected but still leave me trying to explain to our customers what they need to do. Sigh...

I didn't get the original letter sent to the customer and I didn't know about this page. And yes you are right it pretty much gives all the answers. I learned about this page from this post: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2014-July/020987.html I have learned that it is wise not to ignore email from Richard Naylor, especially when it is a reply to a post you’ve made to the list. > In relation to the MFDs from what I have heard, the ones that are broken are not that old <face-sad.png> Like I say, don’t put them anywhere near the Internet, or replace them with something with software written since the 1990s. I’m sure the NE2000 network card upgrade was expensive at the time, but really, I’m sure it’s done it’s dash. Anyway, I recommend that the rest of this conversation happen on Geekzone, there’s a thread on it here: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=150006 -- Nathan Ward

Xtra's email changes
by Glen Eustace 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi, Can somebody confirm or deny please. I just had another query where a customer uses Xtra broadband, and is hence an xtra customer but are hosting their email with us. If they use their someone(a)xtra.co.nz email address to authenticate against send.xtra.co.nz, can they continue to use their own domain when sending email ? This seems, in my opinion, to be something that should be allowed but I can't test it as I am not an Xtra customer nor have access to an Xtra broadband connection.
