  1. Windows has application programming interfaces (APIs) that programmers can use to interact with applications in the operating system.  The Windows API imposes a maximum filename length such that a filename, including path to file, can't exceed between 255-260 characters.  The limitation is imposed by the Windows API not the file system.

     

    Some Apps may allow you to create longer file names but if you try to read or move these files Windows does not know how to handle.

     

     

  2. The deal is a loan with the house as collateral.  On paper he gives you 9 million baht and holds your house as collateral.  In reality you get 8 and he pockets 1 million.  When the time comes you sign over the house to him because of non payment.  Now he has a house he received as payment on a 9 million baht loan that went bad.

     

    Remember this guy is a business man and I don't know how bad loans play out when it comes to business losses and taxes and other activities that take place in this country.  We do know he has a million baht in his packet and a house.  Most likely he can benefit in other ways we don't know.

     

    Careful with any contract you consider signing and cannot fully read and understand.

    Actually I think there's a neater way.

     

    Obtain MAC addresses from your "good" users. Assign them static IP addresses outside the DHCP range. Then apply bandwidth control to the whole DHCP IP range. Any unregistered device will be throttled but registered ones will not, and you wont have to do any updating unless your registered "good" users change their equipment.

    I like this idea and it will be easy to implement if users give up their MAC address.  If they don't play ball we can leave them in DHCP pool and limit their bandwidth.

     

    Thanks for your previous post with link to Administration Guide because I only found User Guide.

     

    Also giving thought to installing a managed switch after the router with single cable from router to switch and then feed the floors using switch ports.  This should allow us to easily locate bandwidth hogs by mirroring port on switch when required.  Does anyone see another option to accomplish monitoring?

     

    How does one choose a PC that will be able to capture all the data on a 100 Mbps LAN and log that data using programs like Wireshark or Capsa when troubleshooting?  Will will need to run Windows 10 because we have another vendors software that will share this computer.

     

     

     

  4. Let me thank the people that have replied thus far.

     

    I would also like to say I understand the purpose of each unit that make up our network but I'm on a learning curve to understand the full capabilities.

     

    The suggestions so far point to the router to solve our problem.  I have found what you suggest called bandwidth management when I login to router(called QOS in documentation) that allows you to select rate or priority control.  Rate control would be ideal but we have no way to associate the client name to a condo as listed in DHCP status table.  With our setup it would appear priority control is the way to go but I have no clue which of the services to apply from the list or new ones I can add using services management.  Any help with services to pick that would make bittorrents a low priority.

     

    We are using a Linksys RV082 router.

     

  5. I live in a condo building that is less than ten floors and internet access for each condo is through the building LAN network.

     

    The building network consist of two 30/5Mbps internet lines feeding dual WAN router operating in load balance mode.  Each router port in use connects to an unmanaged switch located on each floor (port 1-floor 1, port 2-floor 2, etc).  Currently no bandwidth limiting exist so all 60 condos have access to the full bandwidth for under 200 baht a month.

     

    Its a great service except for the occasional bandwidth hog that might rent a condo and not listen to warnings.  I for one would like service disconnected to offending individuals that continue after one warning but due to soft hearts the majority of decision makers want to give another chance.

     

    Recently we experienced someone running downloads 24/7 that hogged 30-40 Mbps so we are finally considering some type of bandwidth limiting that can be applied to individual condos without affecting others.

     

    One thing considered is replacement of current unmanaged switches with managed or smart switches that allow reduced bandwidth to a single switch port.

     

    Hope someone with network experience can suggest changes that are not overly expensive or can be implemented over time to spread the cost out.

  6. I bought ASUS EeePc years ago that came with Windows XP Home with SP 3 installed.  In recent years I tried a few different operating systems but last week decided to reinstall XP.  I have the original ASUS software disk that came with PC.  I booted the disk using external drive and XP started installing.  All went okay except this Windows version is all in Thai and I would like it to be English.  I remember it being set to English when purchased but internet seems to indicate Home Edition of XP cannot changed between languages.

     

    Anyone have a solution or is language change not possible on Home Edition of XP?

     

  7. If you take your Thai account passbook to the bank and show them which amounts you need a copy of transfer order that deposited funds in your account.  This will be done at the desk that takes care of foreign transfers not a regular bank teller.  You may be referred to main branch for copies if more than than a few years since transfer.  Once you have enough copies to meet required amount present them at desk that issues FET (ThorTor 3), most likely main branch.  This method was acceptable with Bangkok Bank main office.

     

    Anytime I transfer funds into my account now I always obtain a copy of transfer order within a month for my records.  Won't need to run around if I should desire to transfer funds out of Thailand.

     

  8. As previously stated, it cannot.

    You have to pay taxes and fees on the assessed value as a minimum.

    Anyone know the tax rate? More interested in the tax cost for a Thai to inherit a condo than for an actual sale. Since, in the case of inheritance, no cash changes hands until & if it is sold, would the tax be charged when it is sold and dependent on the actual price paid or at the time of inheritance at some assumed market value?

    Thanks in advance.

    Tax rates normally applied when ownership is changed:

    Transfer Cost

    Transfer fee rate= 2% the buyer usually or 50/50 split Specific Business Tax rate= 3.3% the seller (only paid if owned less than 5 years) Stamp duty rate= 0.5% the seller (only paid if owned more than 5 years) Withholding tax (income) rate= 1% or progressive rate the seller (this relate to the seller's personal or corporate income tax)
