I have a feeling it's the ISP. I have a customer two doors down (so same exchange) and their internet is fine - smooth pings no packet loss etc (different ISP). This looks like it points to wiring on the customers premises BUT I have a few customers on this ISP in Cornwall and Devon. Now all...

Had an issue recently with an alarm installer at a customers site. He connected to the NTE however the NTE didn't have a ADSL faceplate and so wasn't being filtered. Had to put a BT ADSL faceplate on and then plug the alarm wires into the filter. Original problem: ISP found no issues btw!!

You set the AOL up as a imap mailbox? if so this is your problem. Did you get any POP details with AOL?

It's a customers site - they rang me to say their internet is running slow!

Beat this ADSL service: not bad for a 8Mbs service. :/ Awaiting ISP to get back to me - I bet they find no fault.

Any sub folders got 'allow inheritance' off?

Your confused I think: WDS = Windows Deployment Services but yes it also used as a feature to link wireless access points together WDS = Wireless Distribution System

Released any windows updates? I had a 2k3 bluescreen on me yesterday though in Exeter and I was in Truro, 2hr drive! :( kept bluescreening after a hard reset aswell. Had a first liner onsite and got him to do Last known good configuration boot and voila! almost a very crap Wednesday night.

Outlook is crap for Imap mail tbh. Suppose you could make a mail rule to copy your email from imap inbox to your outlook personel inbox that might alert you?

Depends on your coverage.

Fixed it! I had to 'reset IE settings' - seems it only looks for wpad.dat once on the inital set up.

Update: Ok using DNS to distribute the wpad.dat file, this is working great on all XP machines and 2003 machines with a GPO set to turn on "detect automatic settings" in IE - except my laptop running windows 7 and IE8. Just doesn't seem to work although the WPAD.dat website is accessible and...

Thanks for the response guys. I've not tried it on any other version of IE/firefox only had IE8 installed on my laptop. I'll try taking the direct out and give that a bash. Chris it sounds like you got it setup nice and secure :) however with the users at my place I'd rather just give...

I'm trying to test the .pac before I convert it to wpad.dat and upload it to the internal webserver.

I like my security devices bridged at the gateway but anyways I've been given a Sophos WS500 proxy server to play with. Setting up a GPO with proxy settings was easy enough etc but I have a lot of laptop users where this isn't going to work. So I was going down the proxy.pac route then DNS...

Buy the IT department cakes and BJ

Maybe try using the EU Directive that requires all goods should have 2 years warranty - not sure if the UK has made it law yet though. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/bargains-and-rip-offs/tips-and-guides/article.html?in_article_id=487339&in_page_id=53954&in_advicepage_id=131

How long have you had the PS3?

+1 The technology hasn't matured yet - Still issues with memory blocks etc after long time use.

Plusnet line rental is £10.95 :) save yourself a pound

I tried to play Crank 2 on my Panasonic profile 2.0 Blu-Ray player and because I didn't have a SD card plugged in it wouldn't play the movie!! doesn't even tell you why it wouldn't play. Had to look it up on the internet - not good when you just want to watch a movie with friends!! Now...

Having a custom DNS server pointing to your gateway won't cause any problems at all. Just passes the DNS requests onto the router's DNS obtained from the ISP.

try a reboot :)

Are you using Vista?

Need the Blu-ray Codec?

Aye, your renting the physical line from BT - it's up to you what you use it for calls, broadband or both. I think plusnet do line rental for a couple of pounds cheaper if you switch.

Cheers for clearing it up, I knew it would be an expensive way to do it just for outlook web access. i'll get them to use G-mail instead lol

SBS was just an example as it includes exchange but you can buy SBS Device CALS or SBS User CALS. Just wondered how device cals affected OWA.

Only for OWA. eg: I buy SBS (which includes Exchange) with 20 device CALS and I have 20 machines and 30 users. Which seems the correct and most cost effecitve way to do it. But does that mean only 20 of the 30 people can use OWA?
