comment strange usb file system corruption
Brent - If I use a different flash or reflash the usb, the motherboard works fine, so we can rule out any damage to the motherboard. The problem points to the usb flash. I have been looking at this on-and-off for a few days, but I am not sure what technical details will help. The fact it is that file corruption happens, and I do not know what caused it. I am running some 3 day tests where the machine is rebooted after certain times.

If the ROM (btw, it is normal flash drive that has not been mounted) did get damaged, then it should not boot up on the other system. This system has been tested for brownouts, overvoltage, dips etc., but this of course does not mean that the system is immune.

comment Using an extension to block a caller
Thanks for the info Mark. This is a for-home implementation, and would prefer to get an open source solution. Are you able to say how much this would cost for a 2-4 phone system?

ChrisMcK - excellent deduction! I agree with you, and will check this out. I am curious as to why the router is not replying back, because the router does have the name "server" (yes, that is the name of the R2 :) ) in its DNS cache..

comment strange ping start time on Windows 2008 R2 server
ChrisMcK: I'd like to move to the workgroup and get rid of the AD. I assume the network discovery would be done by the client. In essence, I'd like to move from AD to workgroup and get rid of all these headaches. I got a scary warning that all accounts will get deleted (I hope the administrator account remains (??) and do not care about other accounts). I'll be back there and will report back on what I find. Ideally, I'd like to use a network tap and wireshark to find out what is going on with the slowness. Thank you.

I'll try this out and get back to you. I thought that the first time the ping goes through, the arp cache would get updated, and subsequent tries will not have a problem - no? Thanks for the reply!

Network is Active Directory domain. I would like to demote the AD because it is not really needed and would prefer the workgroup option (I am not a MS person). If you think there are a few things I need to look at, I am all ears. Thanks for the reply.
