I like the SBS console, I really do, but mine does not run right! Try to add a group; crashes, try to run reports ; crashes (used to work though!). Anyway, I thought I would warn folks to watch out for some installs like to create huge log files when the Console is running. I left it on over a...

Another Vlan question: If I set a group of ports in a 3com 3300 switch to be a vlan, will those ports be separated from the other vlan traffic the same as if it was a separate switch? gr

I have a 24 port 3300 connected to a 12 port 3300 via the back cable. The 24 port was first and the 12 port was added. The vlans defined on the 24 port unit show as 802.1Q ports, but I never defined (I think!) Vlan ports on the second unit..... but they show up in the web interface as being vlan...

I am looking to install SBS2003 with 22 users (10 of which are active users of Exchange and applications). Looks like a Proliant DL180 G5, Quad core 2GHZ, 8gb mem, second 750W powers supply would be a good server. 1) Is this enough horsepower? 2) Would 2 500GB non Hot swap SATA drives be enough...

I have been having trouble with my floppy drives and/or the FDI QPC 742E card. I just got in a replacement card and I notice it has a block on it that says: Gen 1011 L01617 NTSC Rls17.xx options: (79:5366) Limits (2508). Question: Does this card have something important to do with matching up...

I did a bad thing I think; I was looking at the floppy card and had the QPC742E disabled, but then unplugged the QPC742E card (when the LED's were lit, so it had power to it) and now it just says "00" and I can't get the floppy drives to respond at all. Problem: how do I get the system to...

I am planning an upgrade to an existing small network and am planning to use 3 com 3C996B-T PCI cards in servers and have them plug into a 3Com 3824 gigabit switch (and from there outward to existing 100mb switches). The intent of the upgrade is to allow the servers to talk to each other faster...

I give up! I can't find a way in Jetadmin or Webjetadmin or telnet to change the listed person for System Contact (which on a used printer and jetadmin card is someone we don't know). How do I access this? Thanks, gr

I have a network at work consisting of 3Com Superstack 3300's (10/100 managed switches)(2 in the server room and two more to feed users). I would like to add a gigabit switch (to the server room) so that servers can swap data and backup faster. I don't have a lot of money so I plan to add a 16...
