Problem solved, it was a bad firewall rule.

I don't get any packet loss on any computer I try pinging from. I even plugged my laptop directly into the router. No packet loss and perfect speed. Ping gets names from my DNS server instantly. I even tried setting a computer to use 4.2.2.2 as the DNS server and it changes nothing.

I have a problem on my network that has me stumped. Every web browser on my network can only load every other URL that is entered. If you go to any web page it will either time out with page cannot be displayed, take up to 20 seconds before the page loads or it just loads like normal. This...

I mean monitoring the web usage of users on my network. I would like to be able to easily see what sites a person went to in a specific time range and what times they were looking at those sites.

What are people using for web monitoring? I've got SonicWall viewpoint but I don't think it gives detailed enough information. Are any of you using Untangle, if so how well does that work?

Right now I have SQL server 2000 with a few databases running on it. One of them is for Numera Track-IT 8.5. I need to upgrade to version 9 but the support guy told me I can't use SQL 2000 I have to use SQL basic 2005 or upgrade to SQL server 08. I never touch SQL aside from letting programs...

For under $1000 your not going to do much besides buying some mid grade AP's. A central controller is a very good idea so look around for something open source and free. Here is one such open source project http://www.chillispot.info/ If your on a budget just ignore the Cisco fanboys that...

I have a OU with my Server 03 terminal services servers in it. I created a GPO and linked it to that OU. The permissions are set so that the GPO applies to the groups (Terminal Services Users and Authenticated Users). In the GPO I set User Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/URL's...

The wizard to hit yes on the drive error wont work because hitting yes just makes the error come back a few seconds later. It shouldn't be a drive letter problem the company that makes the drive caddys high rely provides a program that renames the drive letter based on hard drive serial #...

Im using backup exec 10D and backing up to Sata drives. For the last few weeks I've had problems where the nightly job doesn't run and in the morning the job monitor will have a yellow question mark over the job and the status says loading media. So before I leave work when I check my drive...

I'm using Trend Micro. The deployment client sucks. It does a good job but doesn't do enough with reporting.

I just had to get rid of that crap on a family members PC last week. It was a nice enough version of the old fake antivirus scam that it disabled the start menu, right clicking, ctrl alt delete and safe mode though. I ended up formatting. The other great thing was that if you closed the fake...

Thanks PTNL your so awesome, maybe next time you could suggest google it in all caps instead of expending such verbage for someone who is obviously so far below your station in life.

To start I'll let you know that I know absolutely nothing about JavaScript. I have a PDF that I am trying to automate a little. I have a bunch of Check Boxes and what I want to do is make it when you check them it puts text in a box below. the check boxes are setup 5x5. If check box 1-1 is...

How do you delete an OU in Active Directory Users and Computers. I created an OU at a lower level than I intended and I want to recreate it or move it but I keep getting a permission error. I tried setting the security on the OU so that Domain Administrators ie me had full control and that...

This must be what the other guy keeps talking about because he keeps refering to something he saw at a best buy kiosk. I've never seen this product before but it would have to pretty durable to use with cubicles. Running Cat5E right next to power isn't a great idea to start with. Then I have...

You can set up a testing environment at home and work through some certifications while creating the scenario's the material covers but it's hard to go to an interview and convince anyone that it's real world experience. Getting out there as a consultant / small business owner and taking the...

---UPDATE--- I've been working with our electrician and electrical inspector. Everyone who posted that this will not pass inspection is correct. The only way to do something like this and be up to code would be if the electrical and network drops are permanently mounted to the building not to...

Yes but how do I prove it?

Hopefully some of you laugh at this I'm sure it's funny but not to me since I'm living it. ----The Backstory---- My organization is getting a new building. We will have two cubicle areas for 30 users. The electrical blue print calls for 25 data / power poles to be dropped from the ceiling...

I just find it funny that people with this mentality will often bash Microsoft right and left. Then they check their email on a laptop that's made by a company known for being more expensive and even more locked down than Microsoft. This and the college kids that don't believe that photoshop...

I've noticed something for a long time when I go to tech conferences and large meetings. Why are there so many Linux and open source users who use Mac? Is thise just a fluke or has anyone else noticed it as well? It seems like every time I go to a conference or training for open source...

It's not a telco or anything where they have a project engineer. This is a 3 county loop thats owned and operated by several school districts. I have 3com super stacker layer 3 switches with SFP 1000Base-SX fiber modules. My plan was to go directly from switch to switch with the fiber but I...

I'm looking at connecting to a private fiber connection. The installer said he wanted to pull the fiber into building 1 and run 4 strands to my head end room there and pull another 4 strands through an underground conduit to building 2. When this gets turned on from a network layout...

Yes, they pull their config from a Wyse wnos file that just tells them to connect to \\session-server From there that Server 2003 box is acting as a session server. It used to do the load balancing for the cluster but Microsoft's "network heartbeat" system creates a ton of traffic. Now that...

So far I'm 2.5 months away from moving into this building and I just found out that the electrician who was supposed to provide the fiber run between buildings has no intention of providing that. I also have no budget to work with so far because that was supposed to be included. It all just...

I'm using Wyse S10 and S30's with no problems. I'm running a terminal services cluster on Server 2003 VMware images and a Baracuda load balancer. I also have some older PC's imaged with Thin Station Linux which works great as well.

So I'm taking charge of all things I.T. related during my companies building consolidation. I'm going to give the minimal technical scenario because I'm looking for general advice from people who have done building projects. Here's the summary of it. We have 5 buildings in the same town...

I only have a PDC and BDC so this should work. Thanks I'm going to give it a try right now.

I'm trying to figgure out how to get a report to see if anyone logged onto my domain last night. I swear there is a way to do this in the active directory users and computers MMC but I can't find it. I'm using Server 2003 enterprise I just can't remember how to do this could someone help...

These are great answers guys thanks for all the responses. As far as the hardware requirments question goes I can get away with something thats up to 3U tall. Power noise and price really arnt a huge issue on this. I'm thinking my max price would be around 4k I'm going to start looking at...

I'm considering PFsense, Endian or Smoothwall. I need to support IPS, 1 - 5 VLAN's about 20 VPN users and it will be doing content filtering for 200 connections. It's gonna have to do NAT translation for video conferencing and it's possible that I might do my 200 connections as proxy connections...

I already have a firewall that requires a new license fee for every feature I want to use. I'm going open source on generic hardware that can be imaged from any X86 box to another.

I'm planning on switching from a Sonicwall firewall / router to a Linux based appliance. I'm looking at what hardware to use for this. Right now I'm aiming at a 1U pizza box server with plenty of CPU and Memory to support VPN connections and VLANs. Would most of you go with a solid state...

My big gripe with them is the interface. Why do you have to create an object group then create an object and then apply whatever changes you actually want. If I want to NAT one IP on a NIC to another IP on a different NIC why can't that just be one line under NAT policies? I'm considering just...

It's a Pro 3060 running version 4 of their firmware / web-OS.

I agree that their stable but I can't stand the user interface. All those groups and objects tables are not very intuitive. The ability to nickname interfaces would be nice too since I'm always looking up what X1 X2 X3 are.

Make sure local printer redirection is checked in the RDP file.

I just started working with sonicwall routers and they seem to have very confusing interfaces. I've used smoothwall and watchgaurd routers before and they seemed much simpler as far as the admin interface is. I'm tempted to replace them but they have been working fine for a few years. Is it just...

I'm getting familiar with a VMware ESX 3.5 server I inherited. The last admin was adament that the only good way to back up the VM's was to do acronis images. Wouldn't it be much faster and easier to manage to just do snapshots from the Infrastructure client?
