    Do I need a firewall on both machines with ICS?

    This is a great question, The ICS server should protect it's self, but I don't think it can protect the client. The ICS is acting as a router, which makes me think it will, but will it apply it's own firewall settings to traffic that it's passing... I wouldn't play around, on the Win 2003 turn...

    Linking SS switches and Hubs

    Yes the hubs should be in the trash and so should all my Cat3 wiring. But we do what our employer is willing to pay for. I managed to get a bit of an improvement by moving the switches near the server and the hubs as far out as they would go. I'm planning to stone soup my employer one or two...

    Backedup under Win98 Restore under WinXP

    Thanks the answer hasn't changed in 2 years... Old question same answer... my reaction is the same as the others from two years ago. I should have shown my daughter how to do a dual boot...of course then we would be looking at NTFS and Fat as well as restoring the files... Brian

    Conduits are cramed Full

    I said full, not all of them are full, but I will need to get the old wire out to pull in new... The other problem is hiding any new pipe that I have installed it's one of those open concept buildings. I was hoping that someone has tryed steam, as I was told that it would soffen up the grease.

    Conduits are cramed Full

    The Building I work at was wired with Cat3, 15 years ago. The Conduit is the plastic corragated kind and the cable was greased to get it in. The grease is not hard like epoxy.. A frend told me that he's been told that steam will losen up the grease. How do I do this Like STEAM in a conduit, A...
