not sure if this is the right place to ask such a question - if not, perhaps you can direct me to the right place?
I've recently purchased a walking treadmill for my standing desk. It has a standalone control panel, connected to the base via an exposed LAN port. The panel has a few drawbacks (it's huge, has awkward and noisy buttons, no pause/return) and I wonder if I could write something very simple to control the treadmill from my PC instead. I imagine I'd need an ethernet splitter and something for network snooping to see the payload from button clicks? I've never done anything like this, so any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks all!
1st: Be sure that the port is a compliant ethernet port to avoid damage of your equipment.
A cheap setup to analyze traffic between two devices is the use of a ethernethub or a switch which can be configured to broadcast all trafic and a pc with an ethernetsniffer. An alterntive to an hub could be two bridged ethernetcards on a pc.
A common, free and feature rich sniffer is whireshark.

I want to test some Ransomware. Therefore I wanna use VMware and create a virtual machine, where I can execute this software. I already deleted the Network device, so that no connection is possible between my computer and the VM. Do I need to know something more about it. Could it be possible that the virus breaks out and affects my PC?
Make sure that you are not playing around with Cerber 6 Ransomware because it has Anti-VM features that can easily bluff you when you are on the test. I just got to know the same from this post:http://ransomwares.net/cerber-6-ransomware/. I request you to read this post to know more about Cerber's new Anti-VM & Anti-Sandboxing features which makes it dangerous than never before!
Be sure to disable all shared folders. Also disable any CPU virtualisation acceleration, then you should be fine.

I'd like to capture the traffic sent by a Sonos speaker (to troubleshoot streaming issues).
I've found one way to do this but it's a bit cumbersome: I plug the Sonos speaker via an ethernet to usb adapter to my PC, share the PC connection and then capture on that interface.
It's limited to one speaker and if the speaker has ever been configured to use the WiFi, it seems that it uses WiFi even plugged that way (and I don't capture anything).
What's the detailed setup to use port mirorring to do this? I'd like to compare the two solutions and don't know much about port mirorring setup.
Thanks!
I would recommend getting yourself a network hub to plug Sonos and the computer into and capture from that.

I have a project and I need to make a building plan with server room etc, so I need to know where to place my router and what do I need to put in my server room besides My servers.
In the image below i placed my Router in my server room but I don't know if that's right
If your system is a wired system then the position of the router is not really important.
But if it is a wireless, the problem become very very very complicated. I have witness the failure of my university trying to solve your problem (i am a victim). If you want to cover your place with WiFi signal then position of WiFi router must be calculated carefully with the involving of physics otherwise you may encounter issues like signal interference, lag, lost signals and so on.

I have an Nvidia Quadro 600 card in my workstation and was curious if there was any way I could use three monitors with the card without using external graphics hardware (Matrox display2go et al.). It has 1 Dual Link DVI-I port and 1 DisplayPort port. I'm using two monitors, one with each port but I would like to have a third one.
Is that possible somehow?
Thanks
You can. I have seen some thin client concept which connects through an ethernet cord. Monitor gets a power adapter, just like for mobile. I have seen this setup with a D-link manufacturer.. But it in fact works for any machine.
This is the solution to connect the third monitor: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-External-Video-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B0086359SG/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1388206061&sr=1-2&keywords=usb+3.0+to+dvi
I have plenty of USB 3.0 so that is the best option.
Thank you anyway

is it possible to set 2 separate ip addresses on a laptop by adding a USB network adaptor?
And if so, which one would you recommend?
Thanks!
You can have as more as network interfaces you want, I don't understand which one would you recommend part, but if I understood correctly I mean, if I suggest USB network adapter at all or not.
USB network adapters are restricted to USB speed, so if you have high speed internet and you want to use it with USB network adapter, it's not possible. I'm talking about 1GB, I think maximum speed you can get from USB network adapter is 300 MBits.
