    Storage over a network...

    We have several win XP clients at our office, all of whom have 40+GB of space available. Is it possible to use some sort of client software to build a storage network over the clients? And make it redundant? Kind of a google style storage network, running off of basic non-server class PCs...

    Way to store over network on XP clients?

    Checkpoint - Use a consultant? Training? From a book?

    Hi everyone. My company is looking at a checkpoint firewall and VPN solution. We're currently using two Linksys BEFVP41's to network two of our offices. They are working great, but we need a performance and security/reliability boost. What is the best way to go about this? - Consultant...

    How should I increase my security?

    Thanks. What would be a good example of a web traffic monitor package? We are currently looking at an upgraded firewall/VPN system, but I'm having difficulty justifying the cost because of the Linksys' amazing functionality (for its price..). David

    How should I increase my security?

    Hello, I am currently running the Linksys BEFVP41 as my firewall and internet gateway. Although there are no known problems with this product, and it is working great for the two VPN tunnels that I require, I am curious as to how/what I could use for expanding my security. (or if I even...

    Buying a server...Recommendations?

    Yes, mainly Word and Excel. Large files, but far from intensive data movement. Have already looked at 40/80 tape drive. If I take the RAID 1 drives and partition them with say... 10GB OS partition and 63GB data partition would this be a potential problem?

    Buying a server...Recommendations?

    Here's what I'm looking at: Dell PowerEdge 2600 2.4 GHz 512 MB RAM Probably win2k w/40-50 CAL (~$2598 sound right???) Here's my dilemma: Number 1: Two mirrored 73GB 10k rpm's RAID 1 for OS & data Number 2: Two mirrored 18GB 10k's RAID 1 for OS Three 73GB 10k's RAID 5 for data What should I...

    Setting up separate users/profiles etc

    Hello everyone. I know this is possible, because I'm sure I've seen it done, but I can't figure it out. Is it possible to set up citrix so that when you go to log on it brings you right to the w2k logon (no nfuse), and once you have logged on, brings up the profile/desktop of the user? How...

    Excel pause on document close

    I should correct myself. No code in the document itself. "Excel pause on document close" should read "Excel is pausing when I close a document"

    Excel pause on document close

    Hi there, One of my clients is having a problem where when he closes a document saved on the network it freezes. He's not even saving the document, it just stops for about 30 seconds, then will close. At first I thought it was a network issue, but ruled that out, as there is no delay in doing...

    Port Question

    What vulnerability scanning utility did you use? (whats recommended?)

    VPN suggestions?

    And finally, Would it be feasible (smart, secure) to use the linksys as a firewall replacement to the gnat? This seems like the simplest way. That said, when testing this kind of set up, the domain server still didnt seem to carry through.

    VPN suggestions?

    Seems like the tunnels are getting stopped at the GNAT box... I enabled remote management, and i can get to THAT throught the GNAT, but the tunnel just shows 02:54:40 02:54:40 IKE[1] Tx >> MM_I1 : <my IP address> SA (i replaced my ip with <my ip address>) and doesnt continue connecting...

    VPN suggestions?

    Wow. Thanks Fyrewyre. Working on the gnat->linksys thing (opening up a NAT inbound tunnel on port 500). As for the subnet, they are different at both offices. We would like to keep them the same, but the way i understand it, these linksys boxes can't have the same subnet on both ends. As...

    VPN suggestions?

    Okay, Got the two routers set up and working. A few things I ran into though... 1. I'm trying to log into a NT 4 domain (at remote location), when I type in the password it tells me the domain is not available, and continues to boot. However, once i'm in windows, I can access the server and...

    VPN suggestions?

    Wow, that is excellent. Thanks Fyrewyre. I think we will be going down the Linksys path. I'll post again once we're into setup. Really appretiate all the contributions.

    VPN suggestions?

    Okay, I've looked a little deeper, checking out the Netgear, Sonicwall applications, looked at Symantec, but it had some very disfavorable reviews... In terms of tunnel requirements for a branch office situation, am I only going to need one VPN tunnel? In essence a tunnel shared by ~10 users...

    VPN suggestions?

    What do you guys think of using GNAT-Box Pro for this type of application... Effectively a software only application...

    Office XP hangs on document close

    One of my users is experiencing a problem when his MS Word XP will hang when attempting to close a document (and not even asking it to save). Sounds to me like a network share problem, but considering these files are less than 100kb and he is not saving anything to disk, what could be causing...

    VPN suggestions?

    Hi there, Our company is looking into setting up a VPN to connect branch offices. I've been looking into several products, and wanted to know what everyone thought was a superior (mainstream) hardware or software product. The branch offices are very small (<10 systems). Thanks. David
