OK been using the self build pfsence 2.1 for few days. It\’s amazing it does moas of the things I do on watchgurard.
This has a amazing ipv6 support. My isp zen still don\’t do native ipv6 so I have to use a tunnel from Hurricane Electric which works amazing fast.
Now ipv4 internat and ipv6 Internet can access my home server.

download the app from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx and create a VHD on your existing server. then on hyper-V create a server with that VHD, make sure you stop all the sql services before the move.

BT contract runs out next months on my FTTC requested my mac code.
very hard to choose between http://www.plus.net/ and http://www.zen.co.uk
Decided to go with Zen Internet, as this will support a independent isp. They have given me a good price and staff are nice.
I know IPv6 is the future. at home I made sure all my equipment is ready for it including the server,routers etc. getting the UK isp is a massive issue most charges average around £60/month. which is for a home use a lot.
Other issue is getting ipv4 and ipv6 working together will be interesting challenge. lot of people wrote lot of things but will see
I\’m on BT infinity for bit more than a year now. 18 months contract so I have a few months to go. the BT cabinet is just out side my house, so I get full speed. On average I get around 20mbit/s upload and 68mbit/sec download. It\’s not bad for normal website you tube etc
only complaint I have aprt from their crappy home hub (see the review below) is their routing with big tv services like BBC iplayer and Sky player. it\’s rubbish it\’s buffer like crazy. I know it\’s an BT issue as If I vpn to another ISP it\’s works fine and When i was with BE/O2 even though the speed is slower never had a buffering on this services.
I knew BT isn\’t great on routing even before I joined but at the time only BT did the BT infinity in my area.
BT should fire their network operations team and hire a good ones like other ISP. BE/O2 had a good team.
obviously I\’ll be canceling BT and moving to a better ISP might be sky not sure yet. all though BT adverts claiming they don\’t limit the usages are bullshit as it wont work correctly in the 1st place.
I don\’t use p2p so BT blocking that is not an issue for me but They should work on fixing iplayer and sky player.
You can only expect this kind of network issues on a 3rd world county isps not from UK\’s largest ISP
I\’m think now with Firefox OS and Ubuntu mobile trying to get in to the mobile market not sure who will be the winner will be. I think Ubuntu has a good chance with their one interface for phone and another interface for big screen, when it\’s docked is amazing. It\’s not new but looks promising on video. And they are saying easy to import android apps is a plus for them too.
Firefox os I\’m not so sure about html 5 apps I think apple tried that 1st didn\’t work well. not sure where windows will be though i\’m sure some big companies might use it for the control.
Will see this interesting development. sadly only one can win though
I was surprised how good it is only £139.99 after cashback. Installed home server 2011 using the USB key which was pain free took a while to install though. that might be to do with windows server software. very quite. I like the build quality. Drives are hot swappable and their is an internal usb port you can run the OS from a 64 GB usb key and use the drives bay for the storage. I didn\’t do it that was but if you after some fast boot time you can. All screws and even the screw driver is came with a server. Only thing I cant find is the SATA cable for CD rom but using usb disk to install is pain free.
This server has very low power consumption as well thanks to AMD low power processor only 15watt . If any one with under 10 user then this server is highly recommended. it does the mac back up as well as all windows computer from xp.
