    May want to look into Fortinet Web Filtering as well. You can snag their webfiltering service for relatively cheap depending on what your budget is.

    No sygate in vista?

    What version of Sygate are you using? As you may know they've been bought out by Symantec and it is no longer called Sygate. Symantec came out with Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection a few years ago which would allow the level of control you desire, but it does not support Vista. I believe...

    Firmware update available from Seagate now!

    What SIM (Security Information Management) system do you use?

    Figured I'd bump this thread and see if any new people can contribute.. We use netForensics for our SIM (http://www.netforensics.com/) where I am (govt) I'm currently starting to play around with OSSIM...seems pretty robust and I'm hoping to have it integrate with my home network. Anyone...

    Build for server/ESX box

    I'd like to stay in the $500 range...a bit of overage isn't a concern though. For storage I was looking at 2x 500GB in RAID1...performance isn't a huge concern here, just the integrity of the data. Of course the potential for expanding is there too. I'll check out that PSU, thanks! :)

    Build for server/ESX box

    Looking to build an ESX/VMware Server box to run a number of VM's for development work..Naturally I won't be purchasing any hardcore server hardware for this as it will be run in my basement on my own personal budget. Adequate memory is my main concern, I'm thinking of going with this setup...

    Network pics thread

    Nothing too special here. The Fortigate FW policies are locked down very tightly allowing only explicit traffic in and out. And coming soon will be a Symantec Sygate Management Server which will provide host based IPS/IDS and firewall to all my hosts.

    HD4850 vs 9800GTX+

    Having a tough time deciding between the two cards..both are in the same price range with relatively similar performance apparently. Both have their downsides with the 4850 running hot and the 9800 requiring a bit more in terms of power. The 9800 is about $10-15 cheaper..would I notice any...

    DNS Puzzle

    Why would you be pointing the domain to a nameserver? Generally you would update the nameservers from whom you obtained the domain from (yahoo, godaddy etc..) with your webservers IP address and it would then propogate across the internet.

    Best VNC / Remote Desktop tool

    I use OpenVPN with IPCOP...works flawlessly for me. Don't have any experience with the built in windows one or many others though unfortunately. http://www.bluestream.org/Networking/SSHTunnelRDP.htm works the same for VNC. Very easy to configure and works great!

    Best VNC / Remote Desktop tool

    VNC on it's own is a clear text protocol...RDP offers some level of encryption but it's depending on what level of security you desire, it may not be enough for you. I personally use RDP exclusively and tunnel it via SSH or use it only over VPN when I need to remote in.

    I've determined that the new gen(360/PS3) is a joke.

    Totally agree with you here...the latest flock of games have held my interest for MAYBE a combined total of 1 week. TF2, Bioshock, Crysis, UT3, GOW, COD4...all blah. Just a total dissapointment in terms of depth and replayability. I recently finished Fallout 1 and 2 again and am now in the...

    30 Days with Vista @ [H]

    Lots of good feedback in here. My experience with Vista has been a bumpy one at best. With my current hardware (specs in sig) I decided I would try Vista Ultimate 64 as I had obtained a free (legit) copy. After the install completed, I installed the most current Vista 64bit drivers for...

    Setting up Cisco VPN behind DIR-655

    Don't know if it's suitable for what you want, but i've got an IPCop box set up with the OpenVPN add on. Works flawlessly for my personal use and you've got the easy to use OpenVPN client for windows as well.

    Firewall??

    Host Based Intrusion Prevention System edit: to clarify, there are network intrusion prevention systems (NIPS) which would be like a firewall device and there are host based intrusion prevention systems...ie the IPS resides on the host machine as software (Comodo being a very good one)

    Build feedback

    The Gigabyte P35-DS3R does seems like a good deal...know of any issues with OCing on that board? I'm thinking I may go with the 8600GTS for the time being and a little while down the road when perhaps I move to a bigger monitor, I can use eVGAs step up program. Thanks for the tips all

    Need Firewall Recommendation(s)

    Are you looking strictly for a software firewall? Cause if you want to go real hardcore, i'd look into Fortinet. Their UTM's offer AV/IPS/Web Filtering/AntiSpam all in one. I picked up one of the 50 series for home use off ebay and it's flawless. http://www.fortinet.com
