Thanks guys! I'm going to look at zyxel or pfsense, might just out the wd mynets too...

Hey Guys, I am looking for a firewall to support 6-10 users. They will only be browsing the web, using quick books server and probably streaming music. I am trying to keep it under 200, and would like to avoid licensee fee's (sonic wall, cisco asa, etc) I plan on using this to go...

Thats exactly what I was looking for! Thanks guys. Let the server stay on!

I am trying to figure out if it is worth running a server all the time at my house. I have a Lenovo TD230 with esxi installed on it. It has a 2 xeons, 3 drives, and 16 gb of ram. I am running 3 - 4 vms on it at all times. (PFSENSE) (FREENAS) (WINSERVER) (SOME RANDOM LINUX IM PLAYING WITH AT THE...

Well I am making some headway..... I must be out of the loop, I have never heard of UEFI on a MOBO, but here is a link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/anybody-gotten-the-dvd-to-boot-uefi/82677329-a861-4060-866b-3eacb60a8b38 These seems to...

Ok, well here are the steps I took again today. Wipedrived it. Re-installed windows 8 on the drive (it created a 350MB Partition, and the rest of the drive was partitioned out for windows) If I do a software reboot it works fine and comes up after the install. Once it is shuts down...

Gentlemen, I have a question, that I really never thought I would ask. Just installed windows 8. Works good, but I am having boot issues, when I reboot It says there was an I/O exception and it will not boot. If I put the windows 8 disk and do a repair it will load windows just fine. But...

Anybody ever see these? PFsense appliance. pretty cool

Thanks guys, We don't get possession of the building that I am working in until the 27th. once that happens we will look at the network situation. So far though I like the Zyxel USG's

Thanks for getting back guys. At work we use the ASA's with a concentrator. But apparently you can setup a VPN between them too huh? I will try and look up how to do that tonight. and with the ASA I can have 10 devices behind it? does that mean it will only hand out 10 IP address?

Hey Guys, Long time no talk I have been very busy. I am looking into a site to site VPN solution. I was wondering what you guys have used in the past. I need to setup two offices with ~8mb down and 3 mb up. about 6 computers on each side of the office and the only thing in the...

It cost me about 225 bucks on everything, you can build just the box for 110.00 bucks though.

I know the patch panel isnt the best, it was my first time doing it, just get some more practice

I wouldn't use wood screws on anything heavier than what i have now. I built what i have now for alot cheaper than buying a rack. Eventually i am going to upgrade and get one, but until then this work great. and i had a copy of win2000 server laying around figure why not use it.

Windows 2000 advanced server, pretty much just a file/print server i also have win2003 server, ubuntu server, and cent os server running.
