    Testing UPS integrity on a scheduled basis

    stallard, Thank you for your reply. what you have suggested is something that I have seen in practice at other facilities. Howerver, are you aware of any third-party testing applications. Since they all appear to have a serial connection, i was wondering if, AT THE LEAST, there is a way to...

    Testing UPS integrity on a scheduled basis

    We had a situation today where a supposed "functional UPS" failed when our power was lost to our building. It did not supply any power, not did it indicate on the device that the UPS was "dead" prior to the outage. It worked apporxiamtely 1 week ago, but today.. nada. So, this begs the...

    VPN in, check.. VPN out, no go!

    Setup: Pix 506e, and Cisco 2821 router, Server 2000 SP3 Using Microsft's VPN solution. I can VPN to my server from the outside with no problems, but when clients are in my LAN and try to VPN out to another office (not related in anyway to my LAN), they can not connect. I just want to know...

    wireless bridge that can mix with other vendors

    Thank you for your reply! Yes, I am looking for continuous coverage if possible. What I did in playing around with this setup is give the Linksys a specific IP versus its default. On its advanced routing, I gave it the Gateway IP for my network and set it on our subnet. I also gave it the...

    wireless bridge that can mix with other vendors

    Sorry to hijack, but this is exactly along the lines of what I was going to ask myself. Can you give a little insight as to how to accomplish this? I have a Ciscco 350 as the primary "hotspot" and I wanted to "extended" its reach by using linksys WRT54G at the other end of my building. Can...

    External USB harddrive: Password Protect

    ::reading:: --- thank you for your interest and support. Ultimately, the more i think about it, it would have to be some type of utility inherent to the drive. At least for what i am trying to accomplish. From what I gather from glancing at some of the topics, NTFS encryption applies to a...

    win32Time error and a single machine on domain

    really? Wow,Atomic clock sync (ACS) was suggested here in the community, and i have been using it to make sure the server stays accurate. Since the workstations poll the PDC, i figured that if the PDC is correct, all workstation would be as well after polling. And up until this one...

    Windows 2000 server sp3 domain environment with about 30 PCs all XP pro. The server is running atomic clock sync. One machine's time shifts forward and back regularly. That machine is XP Pro SP2. Eventually it synchronizes with the server. Additionally, the machine is using a Database...

    External USB harddrive: Password Protect

    Yes, that would work, but not exactly what I am looking for. I was hoping for something that the external drive might support...kinda like a lower level BIOS type of protection that prompts you for a pw when the drive is plugged into and detected by a machine. Any such beast out there?

    Slow xp clients on 2000 server domain

    Well GPO is Group Policy Object... google will return much info on it. http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Windows-XP-Group-Policy-Windows-2000-Domain-Part1.html When setting up DNS, the wizard does guide you to some extent. But first, prior to install, I would make sure you can PING all...

    External USB harddrive: Password Protect

    Here is the situation: Using an external hardrive to store GHOST images of operating system builds. I want to password protect this drive from access. The password protection schemes I have seen are third party applications that are installed within the running OS. That makes no sense if you...

    Remote Desktop speed through VPN: Faster/slower????

    Being the newb that I am in many areas, I was surprised to find out that I was able to Remote Desktop (RD) to my servers from home once I established a VPN connection. My initial thinking was that I had to open the Remote Desktop port(s) on the Firewall at work to allow such connections from...

    hosting website off of a WIreless Router and Laptop

    Okay, the laptop has the site copied over with Apache loaded. I have read that I will need to edit the httpd for apache file to allow for a Virtual Directory. Is this the path to take? If so, I still need help with the physical connections and settings. Do I use a CAT from the laptop to the...

    question for clarification. Would you say that it is still a "clean" install using the boot cd method?
