I'd look into a high-end workstation. I've yet to see a "server" that was "quiet". -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

Nah, you were "on top of it as it went down". -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

I agree wholeheartedly. If you're spread as thin as I am it's a lifesaver. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

Yes, that should be all you need to do. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

I've got a Juniper 320M on order right now. I haven't played with it yet, but I've been reading the manual. It's fully 802.1q compliant, and should be able to perform just about any configuration you can work out. A very sweet appliance, very open-ended. I run multiple VLANs, and I don't route...

Those settings can be made under the Domain and under the PO. Make sure both sets agree. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

Then I would replace all the scsi cables and terminators that are inside the box. I don't have a 2550, so I can't say for sure what that would involve. Are you out of warranty? -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

Or it could be somebody sitting in a car outside your house that has attached to your wireless. You should make sure that the wireless is using some sort of authentication (they say that WEP is easily broken), and it's a good idea for your gateway to be performing NAT. Personally I wouldn't be...

Do you have any external SCSI equipment hooked up, like a tape deck? If so, replace the terminator and/or cable. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.

DHCP will make your life much easier, and will make the subnet change a piece of cake. I'd get everybody on DHCP first, then make the /16 change. As far as using different subnets for different equipment, it depends on how much broadcast traffic your network generates. -- The stagehand's...

Can you tell if it fails at the same time? If so I'd think there must be some scheduled process on the machine that is sending an "eject" to the scsi bus. Check your scheduled tasks and disable anything that might run during the backup time. If it doesn't happen at the same time, you might need...

What you're looking for is a proxy server. I cannot, in good concience, tell you how to defeat the security of the network you're on, but there's lots of info on proxys available on the 'net. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what...

lsasse.exe is a trojan. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/lsasse.exe-7768.html You can try to disable it from starting by using msconfig. Once it has failed to start you should delete it. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll...

wuauclt.exe is the windows update client. I've seen viruses (virii?) replace the original with their own copy. Try replacing it with a known good copy, or you could try reinstalling SP2. That should replace the file. -- The stagehand's axiom: "Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you...

Is there any chance that NTBackup or some other backup software is running on the server? According to the log the tape deck is getting the command to eject the tape in the middle of the job. This only happens on one day of the week? You do a full backup every night? You could try recreating...
