Embarrasing question about local domain. [SOLVED]

OK,
Every time I set a box up I name it blackbox, tanbox, lap1 etc. But when I get to the local domain I use "kitchen" . So All the computers in the house have "kitchen" as the local domain. My question is should it be kitchen.net, .org, .com or does it matter? Do I need to specify .net, .com etc or can I just leave it as blackbox.kitchen. [edit] Or do you guys just leave localdomain as ....localdomain ?
Is that clear?
Thanks,
McRae
ps I've tried to google this and search the forums but I cannot find an answer to this.

No , *never* use in your LAN the ID (or domain name) of a registered public domain or a fictitious name it is a matter of time before it creates you trouble.
This explanation of using NAT will give you an idea of what I mean:
The effect is to hide multiple hosts behind a single public IP address. Notice it is the action of sending a packet from the LAN to a host on the Internet that creates a return translation entry. Until a host on the LAN initiates contact, it is invisible to the public Internet. It has no public IP address and traffic addressed to the gateway machine is not forwarded to the LAN since there is no reverse translation entry.
Now ... if the LAN has someone else public ID, there would be a conflict would it not? and where do the packet goes ... only God knows.
Hope this helps.

  • Question about Local Variables (Multiple answers welcomed!)

    A couple of questions about Local Variables
    1. Programmers always say: “Do not abuse of Local Variables”. I’d like to know, when and where Local variable are most efficiently used?
    2. If I have to create a couple of local variables, is there anyway to “clone” them without going through the repetitive “create/local variables” mouse click each time? (When I try to copy and paste, it creates a new variables instead of the one that I am trying to reproduce)
    3. Which is faster in execution: Updating a variable through a) writing to property node/value or b) through local variable
    Everyone’s input is welcomed, so if this question is already answered, please
    feel free to add additional comments/answers!

    1. Use Local Variables in user interface code and no where else. The only exception is using a local variable of a cluster output to define the datatype for a bundle by name node.
    2. You can drag copy them then right click to get to a menu of all the currently defined controls and indicators on the VI.
    3. B. The problem with A is that it forces a thread switch to the user interface thread--which can take time if you aren't already in it, and it's a very convoluted process under the hood. NI's advice never update indicator values through a property node unless you absolutely, positively can't figure out some other way of doing it.

  • A very stupid question about MDic application[SOLVED]

    I have tried StarDict in Arch which I think that is the best known dictionary application in Linux world. Since I had to use mouse to access StarDict, I decided to try MDic instead. My problems is that I do not know the default location of MDic dictionary files. After search topics for about two hours, I gave up.
    There must be a directory where MDic searches for dictionary files. Where is it? or What MDic configuration file has the information? So, I can install dictionary files int to the directory. I looked for this information in http://mdic.gnufolks.org/ and google.com. I believe this kind of very fundamental information should be in the wiki fo MDic. But I couldn't find one. Maybe, it is because I am so idiot. Would somebody help me how to install MDic dictionary in a appropriate location or the default location? Thank you so much for your helps.

    Yes, it was a stupid question. I found that I can configure the location of the dictionary file. I also installed PyGlossary to convert dictionaries for MDic. Everything works fine now. Thank you.

  • Advanced Question about Sub Domain and eCommerce

    Question for you experts out there.  I have a company, with 5 divisions, that is wanting a website. The parent company, as well as the 5 divisions would like to have their own separate product listings in an ecommerce site.  Can I set up business catalyst to have parentcompany.com as well as division1.parentcompany.com, division2.parentcompany.com etc, and have them share one ecommerce by having their separate products listed as categories? Also, can I style each category differently to match the particular divisions?  Thanks in advance, I know this one is a little confusing but I appreciate all your help out there.

    Hello,
    You can have sub-domains within BC that can have their own start page. Then for the e-commerce you would just need to give each catalog a different template that you can use CSS to style differently. The Overall Layout will have to be the same, but the look can be changed up to accommodate each division.

  • Question about personal domain support

    iWeb '08 said it has support for "personal domains". Wondering what this means.
    Specifically, I'd like to build my web site and click "publish" and have it go to my personal web site -- probably by configuring some ftp settings or something. Does iWeb '08 have this sort of support?
    Currently I have to export the site to a directory and then manually upload to the remote site. Would be great if there was a one-click solution for publish/synchronizing the site.
    Thanks!
    slegge

    I also have 3 sites I've purchased through godaddy all for a grand total of $25....only had great luck with the whole process!
    When I forward my site to the .mac it does mask the name for all the pages...I was wondering if the metatag section next to the masking made a difference to the names of all the pages, but I didn't know what to type in there...hence all of my pages just say dekeyserelementary too.
    I'd love to know if you figure out how to change that!
    It does look like my counters don't work when the pages were being masked. Know anything about that?
    My other site, I didn't choose masking so once you type in my name.com it turns in to the .mac site address, but that doesn't seem to be a big deal.

  • Question about Local and Central Services Registry

    Hi guru,
    We are using CE7.2 and have deployed some BPM DC to it.
    After deployment, we can see the web service (we made to start the process) from the local SR.
    Now we want to build a central SR on aonther machine (AS Java + SLD + SR) and re-point the previous CE7.2's service reg to this central SR. We did it by running the configuration wizard.
    I GUESS after the change, the web service in new BPM DC deployment will be automatically published to the CENTRAL SR, rather than the LOCAL, but it didn't happen, am I wrong ?
    I'm wondering what kind of situation will cause automatically registration ?
    Please shed some light
    thanks

    Tim,
    They will be fully documented in the 11g XML DB Developer's guide.
    The documentation is still covered by the beta NDA, so I can't show it to you.
    I can describe them, though.
    They will work through the HTTP server that is part of XML DB, similar to the way that you can currently access data as XML:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb15dbu.htm#i1025534
    Or the way you can call stored procedures through the PL/SQL geteway.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/adfns_web.htm#ADFNS015
    If there is an 11g XE, I expect native web services would work because they don't depend on Java.
    They applied for a patent on it:

  • A question about local inner classes

    Suppose an inner class created in a method:
    public void thisMethod(final int a){
                 class InnerClass {
                   //code
    }Why, in order to use the parameter a in the inner class, I have to pass it final?

    Aurelious wrote:
    JoachimSauer wrote:
    Because you can't refer to the argument of a method once the method call is completed (since the method argument lives on the stack).Why does that matter? If the parameter is of a primitive type, the object will get a copy of it anyway. If the parameter is not primitive, then the value on the stack will be a reference to the argument and not the argument-object itself. In either case, it should then be safe to modify the value after the method returns, as it will either be the primitive copy or a copy of a reference to the object which is itself not on the stack, so the field referenced by the object is still valid either way.
    Am I missing something?If your inner class is using a local variable in the calling method, the expectation is that it's the same variable. But it's not. If it were, then when the stack frame was popped, the variable would be out of scope, which is incompatible with the fact that the inner object can live on.
    On the other hand, if we copy it without making it final, then that's misleading. It looks like I have the same variable, but if I change it in the method, it doesn't change in the object, and vice versa.
    So we have to make a copy to prevent scope/lifetime problems, and we have to make it final so that the copy can be indistinguishable from it being the same variable.

    It doesn't actually say "backup".  When I go to settings, iCloud in on that list.  When I click on iCloud  it has things I can turn off and on.  So I'm assuming the ones that are on are backed up?
    ON are:  mail, contacts, calenders, reminders, find my phone.
    The others are off.
    But since I sync all my devices... phone, ipad, imac.... they all have my calender, contacts, reminders, mail....  so lets say my phone broke.  I'd still have all that info on my other Apple devices correct?  So when I went out to buy a new phone and I set it up to sync with my ipad and imac, wouldn't all that info (mail calendar etc) just load up on to my iphone?

  • A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

    Hi,
    I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
    What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
    Thanks in advane,
    Kind Regards,

  • Question about Domain file size...

    I have a dot Mac account, and my iDisk capacity is 1 Gb.
    As I regularly back-up my Domain file from my G5 iMac to a FW external drive that sits on my desk, I have just noticed that the file size is now just over 1 Gb.
    Can someone please explain to me why I still have almost 700Mb left on my iDisk, yet my Domain file size is over 1 Gb?? Obviously, there must be 'internal' files that aren't copied to the iDisk.
    Thanks,
    Rachel.

    Wow, that's quite a discrepancy. 1gb Domain vs. 300mb site? Well suffice it to say that the Domain file contains all the information that is needed to generate your site. But it makes me curious too why you have such a large discrepancy. Do you have a lot of video on your site?
    My site is only about 50-60mb and my Domain is roughly the same size. When I first started using iWeb, I used to poke around inside the Domain file quite a bit more than I do now. You can open up your Domain file by Control-clicking it and selecting "Show Package Contents." At one point early on when I was blithely dragging and dropping stuff into iWeb and publishing just for experimentation, I noticed that even after I deleted images or EVEN WHOLE PAGES, that sometimes the Domain file would still contain images and quicktime movies left over from the deleted pages. I didn't know what was going on and actually tried to delete the "old" items from the Domain file, but I ended up with a non-functional Domain file...lots of error messages saying it was missing this and that. So I started over completely with a new Domain file. I also noticed at the time that my Domain file was several megabytes larger than my site.
    Since then, I have been very careful only to drag items to iWeb that will actually be used. The Domain-to-site size ratio has stayed pretty much 1:1. So I chalked up my earlier experience as a fluke. I don't know. Maybe there is an inconsistency somewhere. In fact, do a search here on "Domain file optimizing" or "Domain file bloat" and you may be able to find my questions about the issue. I never did get any responses, though.

  • [SOLVED] Basic question about x2go, freenx, etc. compatibility

    My goal is to simply enable remote desktop on my soon to be headless server. Given the number of posts here at Arch explaining the trouble with freenx and the Arch support of x2go, I'm confused there is not more talk about their compatibility. And as I've just discovered, they're not:
    "Various open source terminal server projects such as x2go also use the NX protocol; however, x2go is not compatible with other NX servers and clients." (NX Technology)
    This leaves me in a bit of a pickle. CentOS doesn't support x2go, and Arch doesn't support freenx. What's the best interoperable solution then? Either a sever app which supports x2go or a client app that supports NXX?

CentOSers are very persnickty about how you're supposed to maintain your system in terms of non-core packages etc. etc. And x2go is not coming up in the forum, wiki, or in the repositories (via the commanline tool yum). Read the response to my question about installing vim7.4. Hell, you can do _whatever you want_ to your system, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to help you when you run into trouble.
    That comment strikes me as perfectly reasonable. The comment is pointing out that you are trying to use the wrong tool to do the job. The tool in this case is the distro - CentOS is not intended to be used in this way (for this job). Of course, if you insist on using a spanner to hammer nails, you are free to do so. But you can't really expect your local DIY shop to help you use the spanner when the nails don't go in straight rather than suggesting you use a hammer instead.
    It is just like somebody who comes here and asks how they can stick with a known-stable set of packages while getting security updates. That's not what Arch is designed for so if you try to use it that way, you'll have a hard time. Of course, you are free to do so if you wish. But if you ask for help, you'll be pointed to another distro because that is the right answer.
    It has nothing to do with being "persnickty". The answer is the most helpful answer somebody can give you.
    Note: I'm assuming the description of CentOS, Fedora etc. is correct. I know the description of Fedora to be correct but I don't actually know anything about CentOS. But on the assumption that description is also correct, that answer is the most helpful answer somebody could give you, even if it is not the answer you wanted to hear.

  • Question about adding Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller, into a native Windows 2008 R2 single forest domain

    I current have a two server domain, both Windows 2008 R2 and fully updated.   The two servers are on subnet 10.0.1.0 /24
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server A: 10.0.1.1 (DC, GC, FSMO, DNS)
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server B: 10.0.1.2 (DC, GC)
    AD Domain: COMPANY.LOCAL
    I have a second connected subnet, 192.168.1.0 /24) which is routed to the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet and I would like to install a Windows 2012 R2 server onto a server on that subnet and make it a domain controller with AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP for the 192.168.1.0
    /24 subnet.
    - Windows 2012 R2 Server C: 192.168.1.1
    What are the proper progression steps, in order to bring up the Windows 2012 R2 server and then add it to my COMPANY.LOCAL domain and then promote it do a DC/GC/AD-Integrated DNS server?   Are they anything like the following:
    1. Install Windows 2012 R2 server (Server C)
    2. Point Windows 2012 R2 server DNS servers at Server's A and B
    3. Perform AD prep to extend AD schema to support Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers
    4. Promote Windows 2012 R2 server to domain controller (install local DNS service on Server C, during this step)
    * Question:  Will Windows automatically create a DNS zone for the Windows 2012 R2 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) AND also include the DNS zone from the previous Windows 2008 R2 domain (10.0.1.0 /24)?  Or will I need to add the 10.0.1.0 /24 zone to the DNS
    server on Server C, even though the DNS from the Windows 2008 R2 domain is AD integrated?

  • Question about /usr/local/bin in Mavericks ...

    I just did a clean install of Mavericks on a 2010 MacPro. I understand Mavericks does not replicate this path (/usr/local/bin) when doing a clean install.

    So why would you expect /usr/local/bin to be there? If you install custom, low-level software like this on one system, it will not get migrated to the new system.
    As I stated in my original post I did not expect it to be there. All I'm asking is how do I adreess the issue? Do I recreate it manually without any risk of screwing something up?

  • [SOLVED] Question about resolv.conf

    I successfully configured my Arch box with a static IP by following the instructions on the Arch wiki page here but had a couple of questions about configuring /etc/resolv.conf:
    1) What is the proper way to obtain the domain name that should be inserted into resolv.conf?
    2) What exactly is this domain name used for?  I read the man page but still don't really understand it.  Why do I need a domain name if I already have a working set of nameservers to resolve IP addresses?
    EDIT: @ewaller Yes I edited the OP because I realized that my original problem was that I just hadn't added a domain name in my resolv.conf file.  I edited my original post because 1) the instructions are already posted clearly on Arch Wiki so my post really wouldn't be beneficial and 2) so I could ask my real question without making other people waste their time reading through my other nonsense

    Yes, I know how to get a nameserver, but I'm asking about the domain name that goes in resolv.conf.  The Arch wiki tutorial for setting up static IP uses the following resolv.conf as an example:
    nameserver 61.23.173.5
    nameserver 61.95.849.8
    search example.com
    My question has to do with what the "search example.com" does.  I don't have a domain name associated with my machine, but if I remove that line, then I get "web page unavailable" when I try to load any web site, which suggests that I'm not connecting to any nameservers right?

    I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
    Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
