Lies! Have you seen the god awful state of their Linux drivers? OK ill rephrase: At least nVidia can write decent Windows drivers, i cant vouch for linux... From past experiences, ATI drivers have been a pain in the arse to install, configure and have been unstable alot of the time on various windows platforms (9x, ME, 2000 + XP) Ive faced drivers doing poor hardware detection and refusing to install on correct chipsets, stating they are incorect drivers, system hangs after installs and general in game crashes caused by the ATI cards or drivers involved. nVidia on the other hand ive had far less problems with in the past, their unified driver platform has never failed me yet, and i cannot recall a single in game crash caused by nVidia based hardware or drivers. ATIs saving grace: i own an ATI X300 in my laptop, and its worked fine with a variety of games ive thrown at it, only thing that annoys me is the half dozen flickers when it changes screen modes and when power saving modes kick in.

Ive got a pair of these beasts, and yeah, they threatened to rip both my cabs off the walls so i put em on a table and mounted a shelf bout 10" above it to hold monitors with the boxes underneath, will run a dual Xeon Poweredge 2600 for an hour tho with monitor which is impressive Anyway, back on to the question... Just to repeat everyone else but help clarify: You have 2 options, Route the traffic or VLAN it. To route the traffic, you would require either a dedicated hardware router (duh!) or a box with 2 NICs and routing capabilities set up. (Im sure Geoff can advise on a good nix based linux app to do this) If you want to use VLANs, you will required some form of managed switch. IMO, i would look at the VLAN route as it is a lot more expandable and tweakable than a dedicated router solution. Put site 1 comps and site 1 dhcp server in vlan 1 Put site 2 comps and site 2 dhcp server in vlan 2 put any resources you require on both subnets (such as internet gateway or shared resource servers) in to vlan 1 and 2

Im guessing this is for CMIS tosca925? I just use an entry in the login script for staff to copy the ePORTAL shortcut to the staff desktops, but it could be easily done for the cdb file to a staff home drive using the %homepath% and %homedrive% environment variables

Last time i was at rockingham it cost me a small fortune (was watching Tiff Needell driving the BMW F1 car round rockingham whilst Vicki Butler-Henderson was chasing in a new BMW M5(!)), didnt get to see much of the area around tho... Im hoping ill be able to attend, still trying to work out travel at the moment tho.

ATI make some awesome cards, as do nVidia, but nVidia can write drivers that actually work properly, so my vote goes to nVidia.

I dont know why this sould cause you trouble? i have an application server running multiple MSDE instances for sophos, wsus etc and it runs fine, only thing that annoys me is i have to install all the sql patches twice :grrr:

Wonder if you could pull enough current off of PoE... lol Over herre, telewest run good old copper via DPs and a big 50 pair running 600m from the box down the road, so no VOIP for me. Interestingly they charge a stupid amount of money to move a telephone (about 100 quid i think) even if the old cable is already there
-
Interestingly enough, i have not come across this problem, but all of my machines are RISed from an image with XP SP2 slipstreamed...
-
cat6 will run gbit to 100m, it doesnt bend very well because most of the older cable has a + shaped separator for each pair (some of the newer cables do not have this), also, the testers available wont be 20 quid(!). Basically its a pain in the rear end, the hardest bit is trying to follow the standards because testing is so tight in comparison. For all the info on the spec and a nice FAQ check out the TIA Website

RIS, btw wouldnt a poll be a good idea?

rofl! I have always hated Heinemann software for the simple reason that its soooo badly written and our teachers love randomly buying CDs using eLearning credits, usually from Heinemann. It makes you wonder how their product works at all if thats the kind of info they work from themselves lol

Why not make a logout button or link to close the window? You could use the following code to close the window: Button: Close Link: [url="javascript:window.close()"]Close[/url]

Ironically enough, i was informed setting up the fqdn could "cause problems" by someone at our local portion of the NGfL :sigh: , but our domain is set up that way anyway.
