Yea SBS is bascially designed to be an all-in-one for small biz's (like 3 - 20 employees). It can do your nat/firewalling, vpn tunnel endpoint, exchange, outlook web access, sharepoint portal server, and probably more. Also, it intergrates everything through active directory automatically and...

So if I tweaked qos settings for it I should be ok? I've never mucked with QoS before, is it relativly easy to say "everything h.323 related going in or out of that tunnel is important"? edit: I love this site, http://routergod.com/garycoleman edit2: You say without QoS that video is going to...

We've got these videoconfrencing boxes (I think H.323 based, but don't hold me to it) being used across a relativly dedicated T1 (it runs 20 - 30% most of the time). When the traffic is just sent across the internet normal, the stream is fine, the conferencing works great. When its piped over...

Why bother? Switching jobs soon? Prelude to an eventual CCIE push?

Thanks, but it seems theirs is unassembled too http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=131+2040 I could try and wing it from this http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/701/14.html#topic15 but frankly thats a pain in the ass, and god forbid I screw up and wire something in a way that...

1.) "non assembled" 2.) you made no mention of "ordered from this place before, went fine" 3.) can't find a rollover cable through their site I'm gonna try giving these guys a call in the morning http://www.computercablestore.com/detail.aspx?ID=1632

I've got a 2620 sitting on my floor but I don't have the adaptor dofunny to console into it. Where's a good place to get it online? I found a couple through google, but I freakin hate dealing with random no-name places.

SFTP or FTP over SSL are both pretty much equal in terms of security. Certianly close enough that anyone but the NSA shouldn't care. I would make the decision based on who your users are, and how much of a pain in the ass its going to be to get them to download/setup/get used to new client...

Disabling SSID broadcast is an almost completely pointless measure. The only difference it makes in the various wardriving/wireless hacking tools is instead of putting your SSID next to the network it discovered as its name... it leaves the name blank or uses a default. Your network is still...

I bought the book, and I've perused the website, but I'd really like to see a working example config of virtual domains in exim. AKA /var/spool/$domain/$user. Also, would anyone who uses exim virtual domains happen to use courrier imap as well? If so, when a person logs in with their...

Ok, more questions not really related to helping you :) How do you do all your configs? Does somebody actually console into every router, set 'em all up, and then I guess tftp a backup somewhere? If you use some software (I know Cisco has a product, i've just never seen/used it) what does it...

You can't "do away with the / partition".

If you have machines with the wrong broadcast address, that woud imply that no one is answering their arp requests, making them unable to figure out where to send traffic. BTW, if you're going flat, why not just jump up to 172.16.x.x, aka a class B.

Random CCNA question... Do you guys actually mess with the various timers in OSPF, or its administrative distance? Or is everything generally left at the default?

More important than being told how to set them up is understanding the reasoning behind them. Traditionally people have broken off the following for some of these reasons: /boot On old machines with old BIOS's it is important to have the kernel below the 1024'th cylinder on the hard drive...
