Merge 2 network together using network card

im_engineer — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 16:10:40 +0800

i just draw out a simple diagram. Currently, PC1 is able to access the system server without any problem because server is in the same network segment, however, now i need PC 2 to access system server as well (which show as picture below with different network segment).

I know you all will said connect 2 switch together and do the configuration there but unfortunately i am not allow to do so.

So, the idea now is like this, can i do as per picture below where i get a network card slot in into the server[It is a desktop PC actually] (Lan port 2 ) then do the configuration at the server site to link this 2 connection together in order to allow PC 2 to access the system.

What kind of setting should i configure in order to link this 2 connection using the method above ?

Unifi Lite Enquiry

im_engineer — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 20:11:02 +0800

Hi, may i know whether Unifi lite is using Fibre cable or telephone line cable?

i has been told by the tm people mention that unifi lite is using telephone cable is that true ? can anyone who are using unifi lite please share me some picture that you are actually using fibre line?

i am very confuse over here, the TM ppl keep telling me to get rm139 30mb instead of rm129 10mb. i did told them that my house only 3 ppl using the internet why u wan me to get 30mb which i am not actually fully ultilising it.

As far as i know is if your housing area is covered under fibre line then you will get fibre line is that true. Please advice. TQ

Unifi Installation and billing enquiry

im_engineer — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 12:07:53 +0800

Hi, i am having a few question here. Please share me some info.

1) During Unifi installation, can i ask the contractor to follow back the path of the telephone line? Because i have been to my friend house, the contractor just drill a hole from 1st floor to G floor then straight away like to modem without putting any house for protection, the fibre line just hanging there half way in the air, i was like wow why so ugly one the setup.
2) 1st month billing TM will charge me double ? like eg: i subscribe Unifi lite rm136.74, so 1st month i have to pay RM273.48?

Recommendation Unifi lite 10mb or 30mb

im_engineer — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 11:43:16 +0800

Hi, I am currently using 4mb + phone bill with around RM113, i am feeling to upgrade to unifi lite 10mb. However, recently TM has call me and told me that there is a 30mb plan with just RM139 per month, which is rm10 extra and you get 3x speed.

So i need some suggestion here actually should i go with 10mb rm129 + gst=RM136.74 or i should take 30mb with rm147.34??
My house only 3 ppl using, myself and my parents, my parents usage is quite low and my usage is only at night after back from work at normal days.
Usually stream youtube, fb or may be play some games.
Hypp tv have or dont have also never mind to me, but my dad seems to wan it.
As for budget, cheaper is better la of course.

currently i have a small problem with my 4mb speed, some time it will dc and i will need to restart the modem, i think is mayb because of my house having old telephone infra.

Share me your experience or suggestion as much as possible. Appreciate and many thanks.
1) should i remain as 4mb ? change to unifi lite RM129? or advance 30 with the promo rm139?
