Or turn off DHCP on your router and let the modem do it (if it has the ability). Also see what your router's gateway is and log into modem using that IP. Check the settings and make sure everything is set up right.

There's also a good program I use called HostsMan that makes blocking ads for all browsers easy. However, if you have a web filtering appliance/server installed (which it sounds like you do) then you should rely solely on that to allow you to manage it centrally.

Doubleclick is one of the largest ad servers. You should block it and your users will experience no adverse effect aside from having holes where there used to be ads.

I hate Charter. They are overpriced and continually bump up prices every couple months and claim it is to provide better value. Luckily, I am moving into a new house in less than a week and will be switching to AT&T

Change the laptop to a different workgroup and then change it back, I've seen computers act screwy like that and resetting that sometimes works. Spacekeeter made a few good suggestions, make sure you tried what he said.

Could possibly be your cabling or maybe an update to your NIC drivers might help? Open up the properties of your connection under Network Connections and see what speed it claims it is connected at.

Nevermind, I'm pretty sure it is working perfectly now! Woohoo! Thanks all

Okay, so since I specified Auto Download and Schedule install in the GPO, it won't matter if they don't have admin rights, it will install them anyways at the scheduled time?

Okay, the local computers are starting to show up on the WSUS console. Do I have to push updates to the systems, or will they automatically update when they check for updates? Users do not have administrative priviledges on their local systems.

You can also go into the Security Center in Control Panel and click Change the way security center alerts me. Then just uncheck whatever you like.

Yea, that will be sufficient for what you are wanting to do. If there's an uplink port on the switch when you get it, then plug the main cable coming from your router into it and then plug the two PCs into the other ports.

Okay, I'm still having trouble getting the computers to display on the WSUS console. Here is what I did: Set up a new GPO for the domain and under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update, I set Configure Automatic Updates to Auto Download and...

Okay, thanks, I will go ahead and apply the GPO when I get to work tomorrow.

Hi all, I am currently in the process of implementing a WSUS server into our domain. I have the majority of everything set up, and am getting ready to change the group policies for the specific groups I want to apply this to. My question is this: WSUS will allow updates to be applied to...

It's good that you are doing your research before you upgrade, but Gambit is right. The only problem you may have is if you were actually using the software that comes on the CD when you buy a router. 99% of home routers are configurable by logging into them via a web browser. To put it...

It should make no difference

You're probably not entering in the right password for the WiFi. Log into your router and change the password to something else and then try it. That's the most common problem I see.

There is a free linux based one called Smoothwall. I don't know tons about it, I have set one up and played with it some. I'm sure other people will chime in with more info.

Thanks everyone, if anyone else wants to post their info, feel free!

Usually with servers, you want to plan for the future, so you go overboard on the specs. You skimped on the CPU and RAM for sure, I would've bumped those up two dual processors and 4gb RAM, but maybe that's just me. All of the desktops we are ordering are more powerful than that...2gb RAM, dual...

Thank you, hopefully you will get the ball rolling with responses from other people too. I appreciate taking the time to answer these. It is going to a good cause.

TestOut makes good training software. Available at your nearest torrent/usenet site. :)

Hello all, I am a college student in need of a favor for a CIS class that I am taking. The professor wants me to survey people in a specific job that I am interested in. If you could spare a couple minutes and answer any or all of the questions below and PM them to me or post here, I would...

Okay, so I just ordered two new hard drives, and want to get my system set up for optimal performance. My computer is a gaming/multimedia machine. I have lots of TV shows that I watch, but I also like to play games. I want to be able to download shows, with minimal impact on system...

Will give this a shot and let you know if it worked as intended, thanks!

We have a print server running Windows 2003 and we are going to replace it with a new server. Is there an easy way to load up all the printers on the new one, or do I have to do all of them manually again?

Are you sure the driver for the NIC is installed?

If the program is designed for it, where it uses a database or specific info files, you can install it on both computers and then direct the paths to the same folder. I don't think that's really possible in Outlook without an Exchange server though.

LOL

9.98 for 20gb? i need more than that ><

Which provider would you guys consider to be the cheapest and best in terms of getting an unlimited speed (or 3 megabit), unlimited GB per month, and decent retention (7days atleast)

That didn't help.

Is there a way to bypass the throttle on my ISP's usenet service? I'm using a crappy ISP called Charter Communications and here's what their site says: Also, if this is not possible to bypass the throttle, if I signed up for a pay usenet server will it still be throttled?

Im with Bellsouth at the moment, I called them about a year ago to see if I could cancel my landline and they said no. I'll try calling them back and threatening to cancel all my services with them, so maybe they won't be willing to risk losing 125 bucks a month.

I was wondering if it is possible to convince an ISP to give you DSL service without paying for a landline with them. We get a dialtone but no service since we don't pay for the landline. I would think they would do that--seems stupid to pay for a landline when we have cellphones for that purpose.

NOD32

Okay so after lots of learning *nix commands and playing around, I have managed to get a Smoothwall up and running with Squid, Dansguardian, and the DG GUI. Now my main problem is I need a site that explains what all the tons of options in the Dansguardian GUI are so that I can better...

I have two XFX 7900GT Extremes running in SLI. They have been running great for about a month but were a pain to get working properly. I had to overclock them a lot to get them to work properly but maybe that's just the SLI.

Ouch! That's too mean. I plan on being here another year atleast.

ROFL good one but I dunno if the CEO will like that one. I dunno I might use it.
