Tried using other DNS addresses and not the ISP's? pings work on domain names? and not just ip's?

Cheers Daz!

It's going to be a total new install (new site, new servers etc), I'm gonna use the current server they have (which is half decent) for the backup site. I'm going to try and use as much old stuff as I can but this new site needs to be up and running and pass our testing way before we migrate...

Well yeah here's the thing, is it better practice to put the exchange server into the DMZ? Also as the backup site is on the same switch I could put the DC2 into the backup site thinking about it? and use the backup server for everything else?

I'm currently designing a network for a small/medium business. Without me typing up the whole brief I've come up with a rough outline of my intended design. Now this is slightly bigger than I normally deal with so any feedback on anything obvious I'm missing would be great. Don't forget this is...

I saw a Acer laptop cheap - good spec for the money if you ask me. * Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5800 * (2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache) * Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Basic * 3GB Memory Size * 160GB Hard Drive £379.00 View full product information...

Cheers m8, ideally it would be great to use the laserlink as a trunk connection between the 2 switches and just have 2vlans.

They already use Laser link for the office network - and I've been told I can't use it. security is a concern also.

I've got to work out the best connection to link 2 sites that are opposite each other in the high street. Once office hosts a security camera and info stored on a pc and the other office needs to access the image's from this machine. This system will be totally independent from the office...

Money to burn: Cisco 877 series http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps380/ps6200/product_data_sheet0900aecd8028a976.html but I don't think you'll get that from PCWorld or Comet I'd go for the traditional Netgear DG834...

I worked full time and completed my MCSE ;)

1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes ;)

lol yeah how can I forget the MCP - only takes one easy exam ;)

Personally I would look at Microsoft Small Business Server and get a nice DELL server with plenty of ram. Plus a UPS and a good backup system. Upgrade the whole place to a AD domain. Do people use hot desks often? if not - try not to use roaming profiles. SBS is a bargain for what you get...

Qualifications are great but you need hands on experience? try and get some work placements if you can. I've got MCSE, MCSA, MCDST etc when asked for feedback on certain jobs I didn't get, it was mainly 'hands on experience'

How many users you got? what apps do you run?

Yeah I've been playing with them , funny thing is the Vista machine can connect to other XP machines no problem - seems to be just the XP machine running the database software.

I could get the software vendors to change the path name to the ip but I want to sort the issuse rather than speak to india for an hour explaining the problem.

yeah its defo a vista thing but god knows where to start. odd it works sometimes (usually a fresh reboot and have to connect straight away)

yeah access denied. unless I map it to \\192.168.254.20\foldername then it works.

yeah it resolves the hostname fine

Background: Vista connecting to XP machine. Firewalls are off, NTFS permissions are correct, share permissions are correct. Problem: I have a Vista machine which needs to connect to a XP machine for a database share. The Vista machine will not connect to the xp machine using the share...

Does it still come free with Dells? not ordered a dell desktop for awhile.

will do, cheers m8

Anyone on here work at schools or colleges? I'm after some advice about systems and routines you use. I've got a possible interview for being the Network manager at a school - slight change of sector for me. Just after some inside info.

Mines been working except for attachments! can't add any, always comes up with an error.

you need to set the margins to 0 on the page setup of the PDF writer your using.

why change the belt so early? 72k or 5 years is the recommended? Maybe next year change it.

The only way you could have got particular virus is from Animal p**n! JJ I'm disappointed in you :(
