Yeah good point, I didn't realize how old it was at first. It's still useful because it will be a while until large corporations fully roll out 2008. My company still uses 2000 on some of our Citrix servers :rolleyes:

I was actually researching this recently and came across this really good in depth look at when to use Microsoft Terminal Services alone and when it's worth adding Citrix. Might help you out...

That reminds me of the message you get when you try to run a speed test from DSLReports on your Blackberry "Blackberry uses proxy servers to filter out useless data. The speed test relies on useless data to work correctly." :p (Or something to that effect).

I'm with Rogers cable in Canada. I've been around the same amount for the last 10 years or so. They started at 2mbit back in the @Home days and increase it by a couple mbit every 2 years or so. Really can't complain :D I guess my information is a little out of date, which makes sense because...

Most residential routers using stock firmwares can route about 20mbit per second. Your equipment will be fine with 1mbit. Just for comparison, I pay $54.99 for 10 mbit. The 1 mbit plan is $34.99 so not a difficult choice. They do also have a 7mbit plan for $44.99.

I'll second the Axis cameras. I recently set up a few Axis 207s and they worked great. They even have wireless versions in case you can't get a cable into your garage or outside. The 207 was around $350 but was well worth it. The nighttime mode on the camera was very effective (as long as...

I second pfsense. I used it at a company I used to work for, and bandwidthD is great for seeing who's downloading what. The traffic shaping was really powerful too. Even if the Netgear supports SNMP, it's going to be difficult to narrow down what type of traffic is coming from where. It will...

Are you using the Auto Detect utility on the box itself? I had a similar issue once where it would detect fine, but would never get an IP. LAN worked fine but WAN would never map correctly. I entered in the port name manually ("x10" or something if I recall, it was a while back) and it worked...

A good splitter can make all the difference. I recently moved into a new apartment in an older building on the 20th floor. When the cable guy came into install we checked the signal and it was borderline. He went to the wiring closet and found an ancient splitter. He switched out the splitters...

Just got a new server at work, thought this was amusing: :p I'll get a more intresting shot tommorow.

Either that or a very crappy vacation in the same area code :rolleyes:

This is approaching the problem the wrong way. I think the manufactures should just make it easier for the average person to encrypt their wireless... Has anyone bought a Linksys WRT54G recently? They put a sticker on the 4 lan ports that say "STOP! READ INSTRUCTIONS FIRST"... Why not put the...

I'm not totaly up on my ISP uptime percentages and what's considered good... but at 95% your looking at an hour of downtime everyday... My cable hardly ever goes down, maybe for half an hour once a month, but thats becaue the cabling in my area sucks; is underground; and is getting old. Other...

LOL, good plan on choosing a location guys... :p But the lack of down time has to say something tho...

WOW i agree with almost all of those. Especialy when people ask "what should i choose" on questions that i clearly cannot answer. Like in our program you can set permissions for every user... "What do i want?" "i don't know you tell me". Or the network cable unplugged one gets me all the...
