you definately want to stay away from whitebox stuff or consumer level stuff for a business. No matter what solution you go with, stay with business gear that has good support behind it. they may not want to pay for it now, but the minute something goes down and you have to wait days to get a...

theres a private link that you can put in to your ms calendar that will read those google calendars and sync them. works fine in win phone 8 and win rt, so i dont see why it wouldnt work for win 8 pro.

I use acronis also, works great!

You can do multiple exchange accounts in win phone and have a unified inbox.

i have had a qnap for several years now and its great. A while back they added some cloud backup options in the firmware. I have my important pics and videos backed up offsite just incase.

sounds like you need to turn off password protected sharing on the other machine. network and sharing center > change advanced sharing settings > select network type (shows in network and sharing center as home, public or work) > make sure "Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can...

check the specs for that model laptop and see what encryption protocols it supports. I have run in to plenty of older wifi adapters that only support wep, if the access point is set for wpa2 (which it should be) then it wont connect.

Another thing to consider with letting neighbors use your wifi is that anything they do on it illegally will come back to you. Just something to consider.

Why not something like office 365. They have sharepoint and some other cloud hosted ms services.

Like the others have said, it adds credibility as well as some employers do look for it. It isnt a hard cert, but it does cover a lot of different things.

yes i posted it earlier in the thread

I agree, especially with your lack of knowledge on networking this would be a good way to do it. You could also use opendns as your dns provider, but then you would need to know where hulu streams from to put it in your opendns blocks like was mentioned earlier.

why not buy a box of cable and crimp it? patch panel on one side, this way you can make it whatever length you need/

if its a business then some homebrew solution is not what you want protecting your ecommerce, company vpn, intellectual property etc

Ya mobile fusion is their server product that will let them manage other devices. http://us.blackberry.com/business/software/blackberry-mobile-fusion.html#tab-1

Ask anyone using cellular broadband or a metered landline broadand plan and they will tell you that saving bandwidth, even 400mb month, is a HUGE priority.. I know I do every day at work.

you could find an encryption program to encrypt the data and then either use the built in backup utility or synctoy and windows task scheduler.

This one has been great for me, $79.99 right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833150130 Edit: oops, missed the gigabit part. I use mine strictly as a router, it connects to a gigabit switch used for everything else.

sharing a keyfob is like sharing a pssword/login.. time to rethink your security situation.

try this site, he has some labs and other study materials. http://certskills.com/Home.aspx

Go wired if you can. Wireless sounds good on paper but you'll never get full speed out of whatever the marketing department decided to put on the box because of all the variables that affect wireless technologies.

Make sure your terms of service allow for it, you say its light use, but you never know if your server gets compromised or your site gets popular now you run the risk of having your service shut off. Web hosts are inexpensive and there are some great ones out there like squarespace or rochen...

if youre concerned about being locked out of your data in case of hardware failure etc then go with raid 1.. its just a mirror so nothing special is done with the data and anything can read it. ntfs is pretty widely supported so you wont have an issue with another windows box reading the data...

Unfortunately, that is all there is for help with free services. Something had to be given up to make the service free, and customer support is what google chose to not offer outside of self help.

grc.com has some free online port scan tools.

do you know anyone with dsl service? you could try their modem and have them try yours to see if you can duplicate the issues.

VPN would require a vpn provider on the other end of the connection and a vpn router will let it be one end of the connection. You still need to connect it to something on the other end, either with your computer out in the internet that connects to the router to be able to access your...

Somebody is going to see what youre doing, its the nature of how networks work. You can encrypt from certain parts of the network, but their equipment has to know where to send the packets. And any resource for the network+ exam would be a good starting point on the dummies guide to...

SB6120 or 6121. Cant go wrong with motorola for cable modems.

Ive heard of consumer grade routers having trouble with things like torrents... cisco has some small business routers that are under or around $100 that might hold up better if you determine its the router.

In addition to updating the drivers to the latest from Intel's site, make sure your router on the other end of the connection has updated firmware as well and try a different cable to rule out a cable issue.

Before you go buying a new router, make sure your firmware is up to date and also use wired instead of wifi for your computer when using the vpn and see if it still happens. Also, dust it off and make sure its in a spot where it will get airflow... many people never dust their equipment, elt...

heres another simulator i had buried in my bookmarks. http://www.gns3.net/ works with several different vendors plus is open source and no cost. if you want some training videos and have the money to invest in it try these http://www.cbtnuggets.com/

http://certskills.com/ has some ccna lab setups. You could also start out with a Network + book. It takes you through the basics of networking. CCNA or the equivalent in another vendor is good if you want to move into networking professionally. There are quite a few threads that discuss this...

startcom offers free certs, you could use one of those instead. I have used them when i was trying sbs and they worked fine since it was really just for my use not to have a ecommerce site or anything major. Self signed ones aren't tied to a master ca so some apps don't like them because of...

try your old router with new modem and see if its the router or if its a junk modem. most of the time they give out lousy modems because its whatever they could get cheap from the manufacturer. and also yes make sure your firmware on the router is up to date form the manufacturer.

sg500, but it is web based just like the other sg's. The one without poe is fanless.

I use a Cisco small business rv110w, it has the ability to set up multiple wifi networks plus vlan support among other things. I picked it up under $100, not sure what newegg has them for now.

I have a cisco small busines RV110W, picked it up for under $100 and its been great. The latest firmware adds in a guest network mode, and it does support up to 4 wifi networks plus vlans. if youre going to dedicate the router to a guest network it might be a bit much, but for the price and...

p2p apps can be blocked at the network level and my kids computer stays in a public area so we can supervise them while they are using it. I also have the computer set up so they account they use has limited rights, although as they get a bit older there will be additional restrictions put in...
