    100MByte/s or 100Mbit/s ? Either is much higher than back up exec for sure though. So, how is the data being pulled from the remote host with BE, cifs directly or via a BE agent? (or sql/exch?)
  2. kmount
    Rule out back up exec, if you log onto the back up server and copy a large file(s) across the network from the server you are trying to back up does it go quicker?

    Back up now for our sites.

    I was poking remote.ockendon.* on port 25 and it refused it, normally for a mail server that means nothing can send mail to it. Though in your case because you have a separate server in place receiving the mail first (mail.messaging.microsoft.com) and then passing it over to you, as long as the mail.messaging one can talk to your server on port 25 you should be fine. I'm not an exchange guy though, so I could be wrong completely

    Can mail.messaging.microsoft.com contact your exchange server on tcp 25 / smtp? (I can't on your remote.ockendon.thurrock.e2bn.org but you've probably denied that intentionally so just worth checking your MX can reach your exchange)

    Works fine for me to be honest; it's pretty slick. It's not as smooth as on a pc or xbox etc but it does the job and has saved me running copper further throughout my house to the kitchen for a tv there

    Mine is used for XBMC almost exclusively.

    This update should sort that out - An update is available for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 KMS hosts to support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 EDIT: Beaten!

    How to troubleshoot a "STOP 0xC000021A" error Should help track down what app is causing it.

    I'm confused, you're still trying to redirect to a location which has no mention of a username I'm not sure how it will work without this. As a test, as a user, map a drive to \\fs1\homes\Documents and see firstly what's in there, and secondly if you can make a folder.
  11. kmount
    Looking at that you're asking documents to redirect to \\fs1\homes\Documents (no actual user in particular) which seems to work fine. You're then asking the user to create \\fs1\homes\Documents\My Pictures (again, still no actual username here?) which isn't working. Does your user have permission to write to \\fs1\homes\Documents? Or should you be using \\fs1\homes\Documents\%USERNAME% ?? (and then in turn \\fs1\homes\Documents\%USERNAME%\My Pictures) EDIT: or change the documents setting to "Create a folder for each user under this path" or whatever it says so each user gets their own user space.

    ADSL2+ would give you 'technically'* twice the current upload you have but that would depend on line quality etc. (technically because line distance, phase of the moon etc all have an impact) Is your exchange ADSL2+ enabled? Check at SamKnows - Accurate broadband performance information for consumers, governments and ISPs (Unless you're already on ADSL2+ already of course, though with that downstream and your locality to the exchange unless your line is poor I'd expect higher downstream from an ADSL2+ package)

    Be careful comparing ADSL and Cable. Cable traditionally has a faster upstream than ADSL will have. Going back in time when I had ADSL it was 'normal' to have either 448k upstream or 832k if on a business line. You're a bit shy on the 448k but not miles away from it so it might just be the limit of the technology. Your options are to talk to Plusnet and see if they offer any packages with higher upstream or consider an alternative technology. I've not used ADSL in 5 years so it's very possible my figures above don't stand anymore with recent ADSL2+ and other technology changes.

    Is the Windows 7 firewall configured to ignore ping? (can you browse to them with \\nameofpc\c$) I'm not too versed in Kaspersky management, does it need a port open on the client side to talk over? (maybe you need an exception added to the windows 7 firewall if it's on to let it connect)

    Yeah, I have the 500GB version and I can't say I've noticed much difference to be honest. I thought I had, boot ups were quicker etc but I put that down (now) to having cleanly installed the OS.

    Might find David's NTFSFix tool will help in your task. NTFSFix

    Hi Rob, Might be worth a look at - Red Hat / CentOS VSFTPD FTP Server Configuration Bit more information beyond the above tutorial - 22.5.:censored:vsftpd Configuration Options I'm not a fan of Webmin but that was from the early days when it was full of holes; I'm persuaded that these days it is a lot more secure and if you don't expose it to the Internet by natting it's port from the outside I don't think it would be a huge problem for you to use internally to help you learn. Good luck with your adventure. Kim

    Pretty much what I said when the wife announced it.

    May be worth a look at - 7 Completely Free VPN Services To Protect Your Privacy Though, I expect paying a few dollars a month for a proper one will probably be useful.
  21. kmount
    Good call on that.

    Hm, I'm not sure if the free service supports auxiliary services like IRC. SecurityKISS - Free VPN Service Shows that the free service basically blocks most stuff other than browsing etc. EDIT: If you are trying to connect to your own IRC network you could set up a firewall rule to redirect port 80 on the IRC server IP to 6667 so that will still hit it on a NAT. (I wouldn't recommend running the irc server as root to bind directly to port 80 though!)
  23. kmount
    Are you on a free or paid for package? (does port 8000 work if you try from your client, being slightly less common than 6667?)
  24. kmount
    Can we rule out the VPN directly and from a host inside their network? Try via telnet some 'common' and less common IRC ports on a well known network such as: Try the usual 6667, but also try 8000 on 140.211.167.98 (niven.freenode.net) and see if you have any joy with that.
  25. kmount
    Does the network on the far end of the VPN allow IRC access?
