1. ) No gpo's have been applied. 2.) Yep 3.) Yep 4.) What services? There are 2 remote services that weren't started 'remote access auto connection mgr" and "remote access connection mgr". I started them but got nothing. I'm accessing from the WAN through port forwarding. One of the odd...

What if the clients have been removed from the domain? Would the policies still apply on them?

Added Windows SBS 03 to local network and can no longer log on to systems remotely. That about sums it up. Ever since I brought the Small Business Server online as a file server most of the 5 systems I use can't be logged into remotely. Does SBS change some settings or use a firewall of it's own...

thank you

That's it exactly. I was looking in the wrong area of the router. Once I went to the port forwarding I found all the info I was looking for. Thank you - much appreciated. A side question - Since a normal switch operates on layer 2 (using MAC addressing) it makes no decisions as to where...

I'm fairly new to networking and need a little help. I'm trying to replace an old netgear switch attached to a 3 port linksys router in my new place of work and don't want to screw up the RD port scheme. Users have been connecting to their LAN from home via the ip of the router and using...

So many things are missed here. The ports for p2p being blocked, the education about p2p, the OS controls....shame. Although (get your tinfoil hats on) Obama is having second thoughts about ordering 11 new VH-71's (eleven?) since it would run $6.1b. So what if the plans of the current VH-3's...

Hey that's why I'm here - to learn. @kevnich2 I used the 200 for the first octet since it's in the same class c network AND it's not what's being assigned by my ISP. I made a mistake in thinking it was a private address. AFAIK I could use 200 the same way APIPA is used in that it wouldn't...

Awesome thank you. This is great info.

Well I thought since 200 and 192 are different that would be the isolation. My understanding (once again I'm fairly new to this) is that for example hulu dot com sits at 81.xxx.xxx.xxx and Google is 209.xxx.xxx.xxx the fact that the 1st octet is different is what isolates them from each other...

If I'm 'over-engineering' this please don't hesitate to offer a different solution. I'm learning and need the critique. I have 2 switches and a router connected to my broadband connection. I'll call them network A and B. Network A switch is using DHCP, faces the internet, and there's a...

I have Win2003, XP, and Vista and would like to create a virtual domain. As practice for my education I would like to setup a DC and a VPN using Win2003. I have VMWare and all the OS's installed but something just isn't right. I have 2 NICs installed on the Host but only one connects and the...

Isn't a GIAC boatloads more than Security+? Regardless, take the training man. Any training is good training as long as it's free. I begged my company for training the 9+ years I worked there and ALWAYS had to get my stuff out of pocket.

I'm actually beaming with excitement right now! Thanks Blain.

I'm looking into buying 2 Seagate FreeAgent (500gb) external storage drives. Is it possible to mirror them? Would this be too much work? I'm just looking for redundancy to my daily backups. Thanks!
