    Intermittent printing issues from Chrome

    Thanks for the post, I have already tried without the plug in, and the problem still persists. I have a possible work around, which I am in the process of testing. The work around is that if you go into more settings when the print dialogue box appears, and click on the print quality drop...

    Intermittent printing issues from Chrome

    OK, so I am having a bit of a nightmare with this. Users are using Chrome as their default browser, as the software they use has a plug in which only works with Chrome, or so I am told. When printing from Chrome, it sometimes prints, some time it doesn't. When it doesn't, it appears in the...

    DNS issue with Firebox Edge X5

    Don't know if anyone has come across this issue before. I have a Watchguard Firebox edge X5. Trusted network is on 192.168.100.x/24, Optional is on 192.168.1.x/24. The WAN1 port is connected to a netgear modem, which picks up a static IP from our ISP, and the watchguard sees this, and reports...

    Supplying broadband to remote workers

    The last 3 places I've worked have had various rules about supplying broadband. The first place paid for me to have broadband. I didn't have it, and personally at the time did not need it. (Considering this was about year 2005 so just when broadband was becoming affordable) They paid for the...

    ESX 3.5 and 2008

    I have recently inherited a VMWare ESX 3.5 ga (Inital release, I know, should be updated, and is on my list of things to do! :-) ) environment, which has a VM running 2008 64bit, and Exchange 2007. Runs very nicely as well. ======================================= I got to the edge of...

    Requiring techs to report observed violations

    I have to agree with much of the advice here - If it is a minor incedent, have a quiet word with the offending person, and write it down in your diary/outlook calender etc. That way, when it gets beyond a joke, and you escalate it, you can say to whoever you are escalating it to that you have...

    Evaluating Windows 7

    I tried a vista -> windows 7 upgrade, but it failed, as I had moved the location of users data to D:, and hacked the registry to make sure that any new users used the same area. Will try it on a new install basis once I have a spare machine (possibly later this week)...

    Netgear SC101 and VPN

    I have had the firewall open for all access, and a connection still cannot be made. I suspect that Lemon13's suggestion is going to be the only way to do it. ======================================= I got to the edge of sanity....then i fell off ======================================

    Netgear SC101 and VPN

    Can anyone assist with this situation. A client has obtained a Netgear SC101, which he uses for storing documents and drawings for his business. These can be accessed across his network without any problems at all, from both his desktop and laptop. However, he also has a Netgear DGFV338 ADSL...

    True Online UPS that won't break the bank?

    AC is well known for creating spikes in power supplies. Traditionally, A/C is on a separate supply to all other kit, epecially IT/Networking kit, as inevitably, UPS's don't switch over quickly enough. Most UPS's are also smoothing units, but the drop introduced by A/C is outside most UPS...

    HP Proliant DL320 Gen5 to replace an old server win 2000??

    Personally, considering you are new to servers and networking, I would go with 2003. The reason for that is that 2000 Server is now in the extended support phase, that is the last phase before all support from Microsoft stops, although this will be around for another 2 years yet. You will find...

    A New direction

    I have a degree in software engineering, and have always worked in PC, Server and Network environments. I have not coded in anger since leaving Uni in '96. Having a degree in Software Engineering will not necessarily limit your choice of jobs. Having a general IT degree will stop you from...

    Advise and suggestions. Company wants to outsource

    Be very careful. I have been in a similar situation. I used to work for a large Company, with many offices all over the UK and the world. Each division of the company employed it's own IT staff, and whilst on an informal basis, we each helped other group companies out when we could, there was...
