    Network resilience

    Thanks again Andy for your comments. You seem to know what you are talking about so I bow to your superior knowledge. I must admit to only scratching the surface of Cisco Networking. Our 3508 "network" is not doing anything special. We are using Cisco mostly because of its reputation for...

    Network resilience

    Thanks to everyone so far that have taken the time to respond. Looks like I need to read up on Spanning Tree and HSRP. Andy, I understand your comments. I know that the 3508 is old tech but the fact that I have to come to a forum like tek-tips for help speaks volumes for the size of budget I...

    Restoring Scandisk .chk files

    Thanks for your reply, I already did what you said but we are talking about 10000 files. Not really very practical. I thought I was sunk before I posted the question but you have to ask these things JimT
