  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?



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

Re: Server Service Issues

No help with the specific issue, but do you have a snapshot or an image

restore it and start again.

Re: App runs from console but not Remote Desktop

2010-12-08 Thread RS
A couple of random thoughts that may or may not be useful.

1) Was it installed when the Terminal Server was in Install Mode?
2) What happens if you remote into it with the /console and /admin switches?
 (You didn't specify the client OS so just use 'em both.)
3) Have you disabled optional settings like the clipboard, audio, etc.?  I
kinda doubt that'll help, but what the heck?

 Sitting down in front of the server, the app runs perfectly.  Running the

 No other app on the terminal server experiences this problem.

 Can anyone suggest a solution?

 HI,


 We are a software development house and have approx 200+ developers based
 at our HQ.

 I have a requirement to allow a lot these users work from home.



 Currently we have setup a Dial up VPN  to our firewall which works fine.

 However a % of these users do not have laptops and we are reluctant for
 people to connect in over their home PC’s



 What do other people do to allow remote\home users work from home?

 What are my options?

 *Subject*: OT: Canon Rebel XTi not recognized by XP Pro

 Any help here would be appreciated if anyone can point me in the right
 direction. My Google-fu is failing me, and so is my USB removal-fu. I’ve run
 into something similar before with a USB printer, but I don’t remember the
 full fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.



 Here goes.



 I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal
 laptop using nlite. Confession - I don’t remember ALL of my tweaks within
 nlite, however everything except this one thing seems to be working
 perfectly fine.



 Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing
 numerous other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS
 updates, my wife plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation
 specifically warns against. I’ve done this on other XP machines and the
 camera was recognized just fine, at least for the purpose of pulling images
 off, which is really all we needed anyway…



 Only this time it didn’t work.



 In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over “Canon Digital
 Camera…#157; under “Other Devices…#157; (not under “Imaging Devices…#157;,
 where it appears on another XP laptop that I’ve never installed the drivers
 on). I called Canon, and their tech support basically said it was a problem
 with my computer and was not their problem (but, to their credit, they did
 try to help me, unsuccessfully).



 I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
 registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6…} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110…}
 . several reboots and a couple of repeat attempts later, still no dice.



 Anyone got an idea of where I can go that I’ve missed?

 WSUS on the other hand will only show one or the other of two wkst’s, when
 one connects the other disappears and it appears?



 Anyone seen this?

  It's funny, my wife complains that Christmas is celebrated earlier and
 earlier every year! She is upset that it's even celebrated before
 Thanksgiving...
 
  We were watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Peppermint Patty
 complains that they're celebrating Christmas before thanksgiving. That show
 was first aired in 1973.
 
  I wonder if people only think if it's being celebrated earlier, or if
 there is actually a date creep. I'm indifferent, I'd celebrate Christmas
 year round if I could. Let the jolly old elf be in all our minds, even in
 February.

Umm.  OK.

I'm not a Linksys RV-series guru or anything, but I have deployed around 10
of them for SMB clients over the last six or seven years, and I've never had
a failure issue.  In fairness, there are reports out there that describe
user experiences which differ significantly from the ones which I have been
lucky enough to enjoy, but, also in fairness, I have never exceeded the
design specifications of the devices I have deployed.

 performance is somewhat lacking at times and they may have trouble keeping
 up with the 50mb internet. (Stu, you're not taking advantage of the FiOS in
 Clearwater are you?)

 I like the Juniper SSG and SRX series devices - the SSG-5 and SSG-20 should
 be capable of handling the load-balanced connection, and the SRX can
 definitely keep up but the software support on the SRX line is a little
 lacking right now as the JUNOS replacement for Netscreen is progressing
 slowly.

Re: Slightly OT: training space

   Vipre did not detect it, or clean it. Anti-virus definitions were
  up to date,  active scanner was running as well, so I’m a bit

  The virus was still loading in his run command in the registry so I
  had to uninstall Vipre and put my own copy of McAfee on his machine
  to get rid of the virus.

 
  Any ideas??

2010-11-18 Thread RS
I would think that Mr. McClary's brilliantly executed joke would be payment
enough*, but if you require old fashioned monetary compensation I'll be
happy to send a check.  What's your address again?

* Seriously, one of several great LOL moments today.
