RE: Small/Mid Firewall?

2010-12-11 Thread VIPCS
Jeffrey would not recommend any (rebranded) Linksys routers.  We have had
two clients that insisted on using Linksys routers, and it took many hours
to work out all the problems with them (one was an office of four people,
and the other was an organization of 25 people).  Among other things, the
VPN capability is terrible, and took two days and assistance from Linksys to
even reach a point where it was barely usable.

 

The second client (who needed the VPN capability) installed a Sonic firewall
(with VPN capability) and has been very happy with that.  The Linksys
routers are now being used solely as wireless access points, and even being
used just as WAPs, they can be somewhat temperamental.

 

The true Cisco routers (PIX and ASA) are solid devices, although Jeffrey has
had limited experience with them, and they do require another level of
competency to configure.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jeffrey and Mary Jane Harris

Have a gander at the Cisco (used to be Linksys-branded) RV042, RV082 and
RV016.

I have a client with about 75 users scattered across three locations.
They've been using a SnapGear SG580 at their central location but it died
this morning.

 

Needs:

 

* IPSEC & PPTP (or L2TP) VPN support

* Dual WAN capability with load-balance/failover.

* Preferably under $800

 

We looked at the NetGear ProSafe line but were wondering if there's anything
better?

 

Not a huge fan of SonicWall and their "pay per user" model.

RE: Laptop Bios Upgrade Fiasco

2010-12-11 Thread Michael B. Smith
You should be able to boot to a WinPE 3.0 environment from a CD/DVD (see WAIK 
2.0) and you should be able to boot to a Windows recovery environment from a 
CD/DVD. Both of those support _limited_ GUI and as long as you don't need .Net, 
you should be good to go...

Subject: Laptop Bios Upgrade Fiasco

I had swapped system boards in a HP TouchSmart and everything was working ok. I 
started a (GUI based)BIOS upgrade without realizing that the AC cord wasn't 
plugged into the power converter brick. The laptop lost power during the BIOS 
upgrade. Now the laptop is hosed. I can boot into BIOS, but nothing else. The 
system restore is not available. I tried to get into the repair mode from an 
install disk. I tried to install a new OS, both Vista (the original OS).

Other than being able to boot into BIOS, the laptop looks like it might work, 
then several diag boxes flash and the laptop powers itself off. Nothing seems 
to work, except automatically powering off.  HP says they don't have a BIOS 
that I can put on a CD to boot from to fix the problem. They only have GUI BIOS 
upgrades.

I need to repair the BIOS, but I can't find how to do it. HP wasn't any help. 
Do any of you experts have any suggestions?

You're going to love it.
I'm not sure what particulars we have setup. The network guys only gave me
reporting access. :)

Ill check out the reporting more on Monday and let you know. I'm really new
to it. We have only had it a month.

Ill also say this in all fairness, we are a PAN reseller, so we do eat our

Excellent.  Thanks.

Where did you find the 'how long'?  That's the main thing I haven't been
able to recreate from our Websense reports.

Are you using it to decrypt ssl sessions? Does the HA work as advertised?
Kind of tough to test that with only one eval unit.

Re: Seeking a VMware ESXi VPS provider

2010-12-11 Thread Phil Brutsche
(Oops, I had only responded to Ryan privately)

We only need a single VM, it would be running CentOS. The task is to be
a backup for a high volume listserv. The current primary machine is a
1.2GHz Athlon with 1GB RAM, to give you an idea of the requirements.

It's easy to find good providers that give you paravirtualized Xen
instances (Linode and Slicehost are two of 'em), but I'm trying to make
sure I've covered all the bases before I make a final decision.

RE: Small/Mid Firewall?

2010-12-11 Thread Ben Schorr
We don't really want to roll our own - for one thing that site may have
PCI compliance issues and it would be a real headache to try and explain
a self-built solution to an auditor.

Thanks to all for their suggestions, though, you've given me some good
items to evaluate!  I think we're leaning towards the Juniper but we'll
look around.

Best wishes and aloha, 

Ben M. Schorr

What's everybody recommending these days for the small/mid-sized firewall?

 

I have a client with about 75 users scattered across three locations.
They've been using a SnapGear SG580 at their central location but it died
this morning.

 

Needs:

 

* IPSEC & PPTP (or L2TP) VPN support

* Dual WAN capability with load-balance/failover.

* Preferably under $800

 

We looked at the NetGear ProSafe line but were wondering if there's anything
better?

Watchguard XTM21 or 22 based on throughput.  Failover, Load balancing, Routing, 
IPSEC, PPTP, SSL VPN's, Web based or application based, you can get all the 
addons for filtering, web, av, spam if you want.  With the fireware pro option 
to make it failover capable you are at like 550.00, I get them from 
esecurity2go.com, haven't found anywhere cheaper and you can call and get a 
live person.  Been using WG for years with very little issues.  Fortinet and 
Juniper are great products as well.

Re: Small/Mid Firewall?

2010-12-11 Thread Raper, Jonathan - Eagle
Point of clarification.Actually the entire PIX line is not end of 
support... yet.

PIX 501, 506E, & 515E last day of support (as long as you have an active 
Smartnet subscription) is July 27, 2013.

PIX 506 & 515 (both without the E designation) were no longer supported as of 
early/mid 2009.

I know this because I had all of these in my environment (except the 515E) 
until this past summer. Now my environment is pure ASA 5510/5520. Much better 
appliance, IMHO.

Ixnay on any sort of PIX, they were end of sale years ago and hit end of
support last summer. The current-day replacement is the ASA. The
equivalent to the PIX 501 is the ASA 5505.

Like it or not, IPv6 is a feature any sort of network infrastructure
equipment MUST have; it is also another thing that puts a nail in the
coffin of any PIX less than a 515 (IPv6 was added in 7.0 code which is
only supported on the 515 and up).

An ASA 5505 can do dual WAN, but with one caveat: you need the Security
Plus license on it. An ASA 5505 with Security Plus is $1k-ish.

Other options: Cisco IOS security routers, model #s 1811 or 891. They
are both $800-ish new. The 891 replaces the 1811, which will be end of
sale in April/May.

RE: Citrix sound/video?

2010-12-11 Thread Webster
All Citrix communication is done via ICA unless you specifically dumb it
down and use RDP.

 

Look in the Presentation Server/Advanced Configuration console, Policies,
create a policy, edit the settings and you will see a section named
Bandwidth.  I haven't seen PS4 in a good while but I think the policy
section is called Bandwidth.

 

Thanks

One other thing. this article talks about ICA client settings, but we only
use Web Interface.

Are there any audio settings for Web Interface clients?

Also what flavour of Presentation Server / XenApp are you using? The article
below refers to 4, 4.5 and 5.0

Hi all,

For those of you who have remote offices and use Citrix to run apps at those
remote sites.

How do you handle sound/video?

I have several locations that use Citrix to launch published apps back at
the headquarters.

For example, Internet Explorer.  If a citrix user launches IE, the video is
pretty choppy (but works) but the sound is horrible.

I'm no citrix expert - but are there any options for these bandwidth (and
processor) intensive scenarios when using Citrix?

RE: Verizon Blackberry

2010-12-11 Thread Webster
Verizon had to replace my BB 3 times in 1 week because of this same issue.
If I did a reset on my BB, then mail would resume for a few hours.  One
time, it worked while the Verizon rep was holding the phone, another rep
sent another e-mail and the phone failed.  So that was 4 phones in one week.
The original and 3 replacements.  Haven't had the issue since.

Jeff-

Can you collect a dump of the process using adplus -hang (I can look at it)?

To: NT System Admin Issues
Subject: Server Service Issues

I have a Windows 2008 Server Core system running as a VM on VMware vSphere 4.1. 
 The vmware tools upgrade went poorly and now the lanmanserver (server) service 
is stuck in start_pending.  Reboots do not correct it.  I am trying to 
reinstall vmware tools, but the installer is stuck on "removing backup files" 
(possibly related to the server service being hung??).

Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Jeff
