    Break in attempts

    I get a lot of FTP attacks - mostly from Asia and a few from Europe. If it is an US IP, and it filled my log file, I report it to the ISP's abuse address. I have hear back so I assume I am just wasting my time. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

    Recent Windows Update Issues

    Perhaps updates were partially installed. This cause me some problems on Wednesday. I have a Dell laptop that worked fine in the airport Tuesday afternoon. The Micro$oft updates were downloaded but I did not install them. I shut down the computer, boarded the plane, and rebooted in Atlanta...

    NTBackup

    I think you have to ensure the backup is not shutting down after a certain period. I thought, by default, it was 72 hours. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

    Can we put RAID disks from one 1850R into another?

    I do not know a whole lot about server hardware but I think if you are using a RAID controller, the array may be dependent on the specific controller. I had a Compaq 5300 card with a failed battery and would not let me reboot. I popped a spare 3200 in and it did not recognize the array. I...

    Basic Networking Question

    I agree. If you run any IIS services, there are folks out there constantly trying to break into FTP sites. Need to make sure you dod not leave any back doors open let alone unlocked. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

    weird Blue Screen - no info

    My son's laptop had a similar problem about two years ago - his computer's could not support XP SP2 and a separate firewall. Uninstalling the third party firewall and letting XP use its own fixed that problem. My laptop had a similar problem, although my desktop and Server Small Business...

    Repair of OS Hangs at Installing Network Components

    Well, I gave up on that crippled install, copied the boot to an array and reinstalled the OS, clean, on a formated boot. Humming now. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

    Reinstalling SBS 2003

    I tried reinstalling over an existing install and it thinks I am upgrading to OEM and does not allow me to fully install the server - so far, IIS is partially crippled and Sharepoint is not installed. Once I copy my files, I intend to do a fresh install. Don Phillips...

    Repair of OS Hangs at Installing Network Components

    Here is an update - could not get past that point in the install so I went the more destructive route of re-installing over the original installation. It cleared out the old settings but, thankfully, my IIS files were spared. Will be moving that to the other drive to avoid a similar problem in...

    Repair of OS Hangs at Installing Network Components

    The BIOS was updated to the latest last summer. Disabled the onboard network at that time as well. The server only has a network card, HP dual port. I do have a newer card sitting around I could put in. I would think when I took the card out, the installer would have skipped that to add...

    Repair of OS Hangs at Installing Network Components

    Had an issue with the systems32 folder, missing ntfs.sys file and others, and I ran the repair option from the CD. It started the reinstall ok, booted, got the 2003 SBS splash screen, and after I put in the CD key, it started to install the network components. This where it hangs, about 1/3 of...

    Quick VPN Client w/ WRT54G

    Make sure your router's firmware is up to date. I seem to recall having a similar problem with my wife connecting to her company VPN and updating the firmware fixed it. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

    Free fax

    There used to be a bunch, like eFax, but my eFax number got kills not to long ago without any notice. I ended up getting a basic phone line for $12 a month and am using Windows Small Business Server 2003 to receive the faxes. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com
