Hello Pluggers, I was wondering if you know whether reformatting an
external Seagate Hard Drive 1TB should work for mac and linux and
possibly windows if need be.<br>
I followed some instructions from the next attempting to use EXFAT
to reformat on a mac laptop... but somehow the usb connecting the
harddrive came out when<br>
I shifted it after it was several hours of formatting.. and couldn't
repair or do it again, nor am I able to copy any of my data back
onto it.<br>
When I checked it on linux in the terminal of my laptop, the
attached file is what it reads, with the harddrive at the bottom
showing EXFAT combo it seems? I may have to take it into IT folks
who retrieved my data of the Mac Desktop I had as it has been not
much use to me since yet.<br>
<br>
The other format is FAT32 but this only allows up to 4GB files
maximum I believe for copying onto. Any ideas after checking my file
before I go any further?<br>
<br>
Kind Regards<br>
Linda<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Marcos,
It is my understanding that good majority of consumer-grade gateway devices
(all-in-one ADSL/Wireless) do indeed run a DNS service
, however these typically only
provide
a
caching
-only and normally only
forward DNS
queries that it does not have cached
(typically) configured to an ISP
DNS server
.
I can confirm that the Netgear DGND4000 does
that exact
DNS service (although I cannot determine whether you can disable it or not)
but said DNS service will only run in a caching only (forwarding)
configuration
as is with most other devices
.
It might be prudent to check the Broadband Whirlpool Forums Hardware
database here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/">http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/</a>
If the device has DNS forwarding listed,
chances are that is all it will provide with the manufacturers firmware
.
Other option, if you require a fully-functional DNS server for your local
network, you could consider
either
running DD-WRT
[
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dd-wrt.com/">http://www.dd-wrt.com/</a>
] or OpenWr
t
[
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://openwrt.org/">https://openwrt.org/</a>
] on the device and install the bind DNS server
package
, or run your own DNS server on another machine within your network.
Kind Regards,
*Dean Bergin*.

<pre wrap="">Good morning,
Is there any consumer adsl modem/router/wireless that on top of the dhcp
server has a dns server for the local network?
Google has failed me (or I can't find the right search terms most likely!).
Cheers,
Marcos
