You mentioned Ruckus, but no one else did. Ruckus has all the same management features as the larger companies out there, but they started a little smaller, so their controller is really easy to use. You can easily setup a network in as much time as it takes you to unbox all the parts. Ruckus...

Scenario: Take a PC that is not a member of the domain, have it try to access a file share on a domain PC; eg start -> run -> \\domain_PC_ip_address The pc prompts for your domain username and password, you enter the credentials and login. However, that password prompt takes forever to...

I would not even attempt to do what you're proposing. I can't imagine anything but a big mess. You're far better off running some cat5 or purchasing faster wifi gear.

Split the password in 1/2, give each half to one person. For more security, split a long password into 3 pieces and give 2 pieces each to 3 people. Then you can access the data with any 2 of the 3 people present.

The applications you've heard about basically rely on the fact that in a client-server model, the same data is sent repeatedly across a WAN from a server to the clients. So you setup an appliance at each end of a dedicated link. The appliances keep track of the data and do a substitution...

Faster for what? They both have 802.11N wireless. I don't know for sure, but lets assume it's only single mimo, so 150 Mbit, real life speed closer to 75 Mbit, depending on your house layout. Why do you need more than 75 Mbit? Unless you're on google fiber, your Internet connection is way...

I'm reading the original question and comments and I think some core concepts here aren't being understood. In a typical home or small business with internet delivered via cable modem, the ISP hands you a network connection, normally Ethernet, and allocates you between one and five public IP...

You want Lojack for laptops to track the laptops and wipe them remotely if stolen. For remote troubleshooting, loginmein would work fine.

Some companies have standards, but nothing else. We generally use different color cables for different networks; out of band management (ILO, DRAC, etc...) is yellow. Normal data is black, iSCSI network is blue, etc... If you move servers around a lot, you might just label each cable with...

25 APs in a single room is insane. There is no way that's going to work. In the 2.4 Ghz band, you only have 3 non-overlapping channels. In 5 Ghz, 21, though there are assorted rules on that. You sounds like you're in over your head, I strongly recommend you hire a company to give you some...

I have an HP vmware esxi server with a smart array controller. The controller has generic SSDs attached. So I want to look at the SMART data to understand how much life is left on my SSDs. I can pull the disk from the system and gather the SMART stats, but everything seems to reset to...

So what I would suggest is to buy a voice/fax modem, I'm not sure if they're even made anymore. Actually, yes they are. http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=150_TFM-560X&cat=51#prettyPhoto Then probably a virtual audio driver and RDP from work PC to home PC, yuo might be...

And you're also taking a PC and plugging it into the public network, then your private network, back and forth? That sounds like a good way to get viruses unless you have firewalls on both networks.

You can't fix behavior with technology.

Yeah, I would love to do that, but they don't want to spend any money to do this. Then it must not be important to them. Seriously though, there is no part of windows which is intended to do what they want. In any case, if you do manage to allow/block various web sites, people will be able to...
