Not sure if srs.

Nope, it's still utterly crap, it will connect, route for about 3 seconds and then just fail out. Don't have a problem with an XP client.

Looks like the same flimsey box that my last company used to sell their firewall distribution on, I would much rather have a terminal size box or a rack mountable, personally.

Laptop, usb>serial cable, CD wallet, toolkit, usb pen. If I need to do cabling I have another box I grab which has cable, crimpers and ends but I don't carry it with me.

This is why I didnt think the firebox would be up to it as the older ones on ebay are p2's!

I didn't have any issues when I was running this on windows XP and nothing has changed router end, it just doesn't seem to play nicely with windows 7. I've even setup a new box to test it on but it's just as flaky. At this rate I might end up going back to PPTP :eek: :( /edit seems to be...

What's your budget?

As I have said, it is still dropping the connection with or without those 2 additional lines :(

I have found untangle to be heavier on the load, it struggled a bit on an old dell p3, maybe it was just a shit box lol.

I'm concerned the firebox's aren't powerful enough for untangle, is this worry unfounded?

I'm jumping on pandora, looks good from what I've seen so far and its free :)

Unfortunately this is what I have been doing, doesn't seem to make any difference. For the record I am connecting to a dgteam netgear DG834GT. When I connect sometimes I can ping the netgear, most of the time I can't but if I can it won't last and it brings down everything including my net...

Why doesn't the dialer for windows work properly? It just will not route properly, and if it does, then it only does it for a couple of minutes and then drops it for no apparent reason. I've added the standard fix of "route-method exe route-delay 2" but this makes no difference, it connects...

That's how you learn man, break it and then fix it! Personally, I would setup the box with esxi (piece of piss) and install a virtual 2003 server on there and then maybe an XP client depending on what kind of hardware you have. Creating a small virtual network environment allowing you to...

We used to use a half height closed box/rack which had AcoustiPack on all the sides and 2x120MM fans on top and an open bottom, running 2xPE1950's it reduced the noise by about 90% and the heat didn't seem to be a problem in either summer or winter, mind you our summers are distinctively...

I was thinking about the firebox too but it's fairly underpowered and I'm unsure about it, I want a nice racked solution but it's less powerfull than the dimension 4100 I've currently got debian running on. Having said that, they do seem to be pretty reasonable price wise <£100 but I just...

Do you purchase the hardware and then reinstall with your firewall distribution of choice or do you stick with the software that comes with them? That goes out to anybody that wants to answer :D

Nice "little" setup you have here, was just wondering what those cable tidies are that you are using?

I would pick MSE over AVG as a free solution, nod32 everytime on the paid front.

Interesting, have you tried manually setting up the DIR-655 with your internet details as it should be on your external ip if the modem is in bridged mode.

Haha... at least your's has some sort of cabling routing, I need to organise some proper cable management and get it all sorted out.

The mess I have inherited:

Just started my new job and checking out the line, 10Mbit Burstable LES10 fibre connection :)

Whole setup is lovely, got enough remotes on your desk there? lol. Love the look of the conference room too, just a shame about the tiled ceiling :(

That looks SO awesome, I want it!

Just a GX620 running a couple of vm's for my basic hosting needs, it will progress once we've moved out.

My photography portfolio: http://www.sp00ny.co.uk :) PS. very nice site ryan !

Same, the thing seems bulletproof. Now watch it die tomorrow... hah.

Can you ping the server by name? Might be worth adding it to the local host file temporarily.

visio + visiocafe.com :)

They should be using some external company for this as mentioned, mailing that many people at once will probably bite you in the butt as you'll start getting blacklisted, we've had it happen a fw times with some clients.

Sitting inside a data centre with about 2 hops :D

LTO4 single loader :) I still don't trust my backups to a disk.

From works datacentre: :D

^^that, also have you tried the netbook on the wire?

dd-wrt, moved over from smoothwall about 3 years ago and haven't looked back since.

Nod32 is the king!

Very well, generally.

Sounds like its your ip is changing via DHCP, you just need to stick in a static reservation or just set it manually from your pc.
