I can verify this as well. We block all windows ports, in and out, and have a few clients that we've had to put exclusions in the filters for. Get this, they're in the US, their Exchange server is in the UK, and instead of doing a VPN between their office (of 20 employees) and the remote office

Why not just make your users use your servers for forwarding DNS and block outbound DNS requests @ your router for anything but your servers. I mean, if you're going to go to the extreme & force your users to not have access to something they might like (for some unknown reason), might as well go

I had the exact same problem. As soon as I turned it on, within minutes I had customers calling that could no longer FTP into Win2k servers and some that couldn't SSH into their Linux servers. I've since turned it off as well. Are there any other known ways to block this? william - Original

Cable & Wireless, Verio and/or Level 3 port blocking?

2003-09-08 Thread William Devine, II
Can anyone from these three carriers tell me if you're doing port blocking on the Windows file/print ports (135-139, 445 & 593) ? A client of ours (in the US), against our recommendation, still wants to connect to their Exchange server in the UK without a VPN. We're not blocking their IP#'s from

I would think that any company that outsourced exchange services to another entity would want either a VPN between their two offices or a direct PtP link. But I also know that the most logical method is not always understandable to the pointy haired people. william - Original Message -

I started using OTRS (Open Ticket Request System) a month or so ago and LOVE IT. You can setup pre-canned response templates and have multiple users login and maintain various queues. It's open source and works VERY well. http://www.otrs.org/ william -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

We used to do NAT for DSL customers as well. We started with two T1's to Verizon, Cisco 3620 for DSL only and had problems here and there (couldn't stop packets between customers in the same bridge group, such as netbios broadcasts but could ACL tcp/udp connections between them easily.) We switc
