I also agree that SANS in-person is the better format. Not only do you have awesome instructors, but you have classmates that you can bounce ideas off of, etc. I took 503 online and found myself wishing I would have done another live event. I did 502 at SANS Rocky Mountain in '08 and got much...
IMO, walk away from this project. I'm not doubting your abilities, but it sounds like you will be in over your head very quickly. Below are my reasons.
- Marble and granite - Have fun with that.
- 1 pull to each room and unsure of the presence of conduit. If you knew the current Cat5 wasn't...
This.
Although it feels like it may be past it's peak of interest from a few years back. I remember going on work trips, firing up netstumbler and being wowed by the number of APs out there, people's silly SSIDs, etc.
I know you decided on the Netgear, but I just wanted to toss out another switch.

Fanless, and has an internal PSU, so no external power supply that takes up room on a power strip, or that you have to find a...
Untangle will definitely allow for everything you want to do...as long as you have the hardware to run it.
I push 100's of people through UT every day without a hiccup on a 20/20Mbps connection.
If this shop is as small as it sounds (no money for a "real" solution, no managed network gear, etc.), and they are not using wireless, why not just unplug the patch cords on the network gear from the network jacks that are being abused?
Essentially a hardware disable on all unused network...
One thing I haven't seen answered yet is this. How often will the retained data be accessed? Will you be accessing the data on a regular basis, or is this data going to be archived and collect dust 99% of the time?
I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure the on-board is probably a broadcom and I know the PCI NIC is a 3Com. Like I said, I've had no problems with this box running my UT for the last 2 years or so.
On a side note...I caused ClearOS to kernel panic two times last night just surfing the web...
Booting into Windows 7 on my main PC would give me a ring on my network icon (not spinning though, just frozen). Some services would be able to connect to the Internet as Windows Updates would show up, but nothing outside of that really. I could still browse the LAN however. Then my new laptop...
So I'm glad I saw this post.
My Untangle box was having some issues with the latest release and was giving me all sorts of issues. After a bit of work I'm now running ClearOS. I like it so far, but my bandwidth speed tests seem to be horrible compared to what I was getting on Untangle. I'll let...
I came across two PowerConnect 5324 switches on craigslist and am wondering if any of you have any experience with them. I know PowerConnects usually have a good rep here at [H], but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something with this particular model. Right now 99% of my network at...
Check out SafCord. It is a piece of fabric (in various colors and sizes) with velcro on the sides. It simply covers your cords and then sticks to the carpet floor. We use these quite often and they work great. Unlike the plastic/rubber things of the past, these stay where you put them and don't...
Put this code in the head section, where "XXX" is the number of seconds before a refresh. Leave the quotation marks in the code when using.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="XXX">
I created a custom site that had Cacti graphs of the most viewed/important interfaces for our internal use a while back. It is fairly simple to pull a graph image from Cacti. Simply drill down to the graph you want, right-click and "view image". You can then use that image URL in your custom...
Yeah, I'd get the hell out of Dodge if I were you.
Even if that isn't illegal (which it sounds to be, unauthorized access/hacking) I wouldn't want to be working at a place like that and get caught up in litigation and have my reputation and future work career tarnished.
Just a few pics of some of our residence hall distribution racks. Blue phone line was not my doing...too messy for my liking.

2 x 3560 (This same setup is on 3 floors) - Plenty of room for VOIP expansion in the future.
You should be able to login as a local admin account and just re-join the domain. No need to join to a workgroup and then back to the domain. We do that when we have a PC dis-joined from the domain.
KS eh? I'm guessing Wichita. /wave
As for down-time, documentation is always something that seems to be needed. Either creating it because it doesn't exist other than in someone's head, or because it is not up do date with your current procedures/practices. Also, as others have said, if you...
I have a couple subnets, so I did them one at a time, and just tossed the results into a text file and did a find on "Likely INFECTED". It's a pretty dirty search, but it worked for what I wanted to find.
My Method:
1. Get Nmap/Zenmap - http://nmap.org/download.html
2. Run the following sweep across your network, replacing "192.168.1.0 /24" with your network information:
nmap -p 445 -d --script smb-check-vulns --script-args safe=1 192.168.1.0 /24

I can attest to the usage of Untangle in a college environment. I'm currently using it on a 10Mbps line and serving 200-300 users, all on a Dell desktop (Dimension 755 for now, moving to something more robust soon). No problems here.
edit - Not the same box as in my sig. That's personal use.
I'm curious about who pays for the Internet at the house. Does the OP's father or the father's employer? If the father's employer provides Internet as part of the job, I would think that the Linksys needs to be put back in place. Then, check with the employer's IT department to see if using the...
What I have found is that there is no set limit on the number of contacts in a distro list. What limits the size is the amount of information stored for each contact, if that makes any sense. I have been unable to find any info on what that size limit is.
