    Have you ever been hacked?

    Hi all! I'm currently doing research for a white paper and would like to hear from people who have implemented anti-intrusion systems only to be hacked anyway. I'd like to know what firewall software you had running, how you discovered the attack, what general actions you took to thwart the...

    What solutions are you using? Remote Access to corporate network?

    My company uses an Nortel Contivity VPN switch. It allows you to map drives, use corporate email etc. Almost like being at work. It's also very secure by using IPsec and 2 factor authentication which the company demanded before allowing a PC from an untrusted network access to corporate...

    Looking for a Disaster Recovery Solution

    DR is a big subject and is unique to every company. Software and hardware only play a supporting role and can be quite expensive. Ask yourself or your boss these sorts of questions. - What level of disaster? A dead hard drive or the building burning down? - What specific systems (computer and...

    What's the best remote access software?

    ControlIT has every option you asked for but I think it's a tad expensive. I'd recommend that for commercial use.

    Can access remotely,can't log onto the network

    You're right about the topology being an issue. It was for me! The IP you're client's are being given by the concentrator is probably on a different network. When the client is trying to authenticate, it is sending a broadcast packet to find an authentication server and the packet isn't being...

    Can access remotely,can't log onto the network

    I use different equipment (Nortel Contivity) but here's how I got all that working. 1) make sure the remote PC has logged onto the network (domain) sucessfully before . 2) Make a hardware profile with the network card disabled and use this profile when connecting via VPN 3) Add the domain...

    Nortel Extranet Access Client

    There are several posts in this thread I can answer. Can I ask those who haven't received a response to a question in this thread to start a new thread? I get confused really easily %-)

    Nortel Extranet Client Install Fails on Win2K - HELP!

    Are you telling it to install and run as a service? If you tell it to run as an application, it won't work in 2000 or XP. For W2K the earliest version you can use is 2.62. For XP, I know that version 4.10 is supported. Cheers Sifer

    Where to start w/Remote Access?

    Hi Beachcomber! A VPN connection will work but in our testing, the performance of Access databases over a 56k modem was thoroughly unacceptable. Perhaps if your remote users had cable or DSL the situation would be different. We had to make it very clear to our users that using Access databases...

    VPN and WIN2k

    This is usually due to the server being on a different network segment. Servers and clients use broadcast messages to advertise their presence on the network but broadcasts aren't passed through the router to keep congestion down. Using a wins server may reslove the problem Cheers

    Nortel on XP - can't map network drives

    Here's a couple of things to try. 1) Use the following syntax when mapping: \\192.168.x.x\sharename 2) Try specifying using a different user name to connect to the share.

    Contivity 2600 integration

    Here's part of the fix I implemented for my company. On the Contivity VPN client (i'm using 4_12.03 running as a service), select "logoff on connect" in the options menu. What this will do is log off the current windows user/session while keeping the internet connection and VPN tunnel...
