Brandon's lame quiet onet oh we're terrible is this supposed to be on sorry
I'm not quite started yet Brandon sucks okay quiet
onet last time we showed you how to quadruple your network speed for $100
and you complained now some of your
complaints were misinformed and applicable or otherwise completely
ridiculous the technology I demoed as I mentioned in the video only works on
Windows 8 and up I mean come on and who
the devil invited this guy to my comment
section but some of the complaints were
very fair and even went as far as to ask
why it is that we're talking about an admittedly flaky and proprietary
solution when there's a more broadly applicable one also available on the
cheap so this video then is about how to
10x your network speed and yes thank you
iron cut that is internal network speed not internet speed between two system
systems on a
budget the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly
make your midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and
accessories check out the link in the video description to learn more first
order of business there is no magic peanut butter that you can smear in your
network port to turn it from a 1 GB to a 10 gbit port so we will need new faster
network cards for our two systems and while I could say all right then let's
head over to Amazon and grab a couple of Intel X540 10 gig cards with RJ45 Jacks
and then pick up a net gear 10 gig switch which would work great and scale
well for the future by the way that would cost
$1,500 which is like a million Canadian
rubles so no no we won't be doing that instead as with most of my budget guides
we will Begin by shopping on eBay so
let's find those network cards we can save a lot of money by buying retired
server cards these uex dealies have served us very well get it served us
that's a joke but all the cheap ones out there have SFP plus connectors instead
of the standard RJ45 connectors that consumers are used to so what do you do
easy you'll need a direct attach copper cable I've had good experience with the
passive ones from cables ondemand.com and I've bought from them a couple of
times they cost anywhere from $40 to $140 and go up to 10 m so get a cable
that is long enough to go between the two systems that you want to talk to
each other more quickly so probably your personal desktop and your network
storage machine next we'll need actually
that's about it we're going to skip the network switch requirement by attaching
our computers to each other directly so
let's get to it it step one is to leave
your onboard network card plugged in to the rest of your network devices and
your internet connection pop those Nicks you bought into the two machines run
your cable between them and boom Windows will automatically detect the faster
link whenever those two machines talk to each other
which oh I'm just kidding Network crap is never that easy step two with it
still plugged in that part of the first step was real configure the IP addresses
of your 10 gig cards manually you can follow the guide that we have on the
screen and if you're not sure what to enter here check your existing
connection via ip config then leave the first and second values the same and add
some amount so we're going to put 50 in here to the third value this will be the
same for both of your machines then you need to pick a unique number from 1 to
254 for the fourth these need to to be
different between the two machines you're connecting
255.255.255.0 is good for the subnet mask and everything else is left Auto or
blank step three for testing disable
other network interfaces and disable Windows Firewall don't forget to turn
those back on when you're done or you'll have no internet or unprotected internet
step four ping so we can see if these
two machines can see each other properly by pinging the network addresses that we
manually enter for the other machine then we can see if
they'll pick up each other's host names with a slightly different command like
so step five is to set up RAM diss using
soft perfect RAM dis a free tool on each
machine a small RAM disc is fine this is
just to do a real world test of how quickly we can transfer files step six
is to create test shares on both sides
on the RAM discs with read and write permissions in both the share Ing and
security tabs on both machines and then you can change these to the permissions
that you want later on although they're on RAM dis so they're going to disappear
anyhow step seven is to test the transfer using a large file and you'll
either be saying holy schmow or WTF if
it worked great if you're in the WTF Camp then uh or it stops working later
move on to step number eight while in
theory Microsoft should prioritize the faster link
between the two computers in practice we found that even manually changing the
priorities of our interfaces wouldn't stick so we needed to alter the hosts
file in order to statically assign that
host name of the PCS to their IP addresses that are on the 10 gig network
cards to prevent these computers from talking over the one GB Network that
they are also connected to for access to the the internet and to your other
devices so do it like so substituting in
whatever IP addresses you're using for the ones that we've entered and at that
point step nine it's a Christmas miracle
unless step 10 your wife or brother or
sister or whatever is like how come Jeffrey gets faster Network speeds and I
don't well if you had the foresight to buy a dual interface that is two port
card for the file server then you you can actually do the same thing again by
just buying another cable and another Nick or network interface card so all
you've got to do then is change the third value in the manual IP address
that you're setting again so the server machine will actually have three
separate interfaces on three separate subnets alter the host files like so and
Step 13 test access between these
computers so you should see one Gigabyte
per second between the two clients and the file server and about 100 megabytes
per second between the two clients to each other unless you want to take it
one step further with another cable and another subnet if they all have dual
interface cards but I mean at that point you might want to start thinking about a
network switch because you're basically back to token
ring speaking of which tunnel bear is
the easy to use VPN app for mobile and
desktop bear lets you tunnel to up to 16
different countries allowing you to browse the internet and use online
services as if you are in that different
country they have apps for iOS Android
the PC and mac and they also have a Chrome extension the apps are super easy
to use even if you're not a networking person you don't have to do any of that
port forwarding nonsense or anything you just turn the little dial it actually
looks like a little little dial you pick the the country that you want to browse
the internet as though you're in and then two things happen your connection
gets encrypted with ases 256-bit encryption and boom your public IP
address gets switched so you show up as if you are somewhere else and if you do
have any trouble even though they've tried to make it as simple as they
possibly can their friendly support Bears will be there to help you they'll
even give you 500 megabytes of data for free to try it out with no credit card
required all you got to do is go to tunnel bear.com /lt and then if you want to upgrade to
unlimited you can actually save 10% at our link as well so check it out at the
