Thank you all for the options. This is no longer an issue, and we went with the networx for now.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I will try some of these, and see what happens. I will update specs tomorrow.

The internet isn't slowing down. I had the ISP run a 24 hour monitor, and there isn't any spikes of usage at the time she is having this issue. I did notice her company firewall for some reason was blocking 5Mb of bandwidth in. I removed that rule, and waiting to see. However the issue with...

Wow, really not a single tip?

Hello all, I am not a networking guy, but I work for a company and part of my job is "assist" with tech issues. I am not tech stupid, but I also do not have a degree or anything. Anyways my question is this. We had a server project done, and a couple new servers with VM's were installed...

Could this be the issue, and if so, any idea how I can find the offending piece of hardware?

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU ES-2420 V2 @2.20GHz And 12 GB ram.

Hi not sure if this is the correct place, but here goes. About a week and a half ago, a server we have started having performance issues. The server is Windows 2008 R2, and has 16gb of ram. Only Backup Exec runs on this particular server. Company shares are on it as well. The issue...

Windows server 2008 R2. I am new to the field of working with servers. I have a more narrow scoped ccna background. The problem is most clients don't use Cisco. Yes I am sure a normal admin can make host files, and such, or block sites, however I don't know how to do it, and while i can...

I work for an IT firm. One of my clients has requested that I find a program that will allow him to monitor online activity of a couple of his workers. He believes they may be Facebooking, or Youtubing for 4+ hours a day. I know this is a bit questionable behavior but he has the right since...

A client let his domain expire, and now his external email doesn't work. The outlook anywhere is pointed at this old domain. When i run the outlook connectivity tester, it says the ssl is failing. I assume it's because the self signed cert is assigned to this old domain. So I think i need a...

They use it for standard stuff. Surfing the net, erp software, file sharing, phones and printers. I did find out there phones are on the same network as the data. I have heard recently that they should be separated in a vlan. the switches they have are dumb switches. No management ability...

Quick question for anyone willing to help. My boss asked me to look into a clients network. They complain of general slowness, and sluggishness. Nothing specific for apps, data, or anything else, just general slowness. First thing I recommended was that they look into upgrading to gig...

Thank you guys for the enlightenment. I was just curious why they would have the expense of slower lines.

So I am new to the networking field, and still in school. However i do have an internship at a very large company, and we supply bonded t1/e1 setups to our outside locations. If memory serves, a t1 is 1534 megB or something like that, but bonded gives you essentially 3mb. Knowing this...
