we got 137k last year and not seen this years but everything on our wish list we have, but have a lower budget due to smaller yr 7 intake must have been a bad year relationship wise lol!!! Got the spend ok 2 weeks ago but my boss the net manager (will put in the ffs forum bit) is taking his time putting thru my orders that are still sitting on his desk!!

Having debates in school about the 2, have NSS trial in one room at the moment and we love it and want it, have the cash for it but as always my network admin boss was at recent conference where some idiot from another school told him how good AB was and how much cheaper it was...... anyone got any good and bad points about either to help put my case forward to have NSS Also, something else, hope netsupport bloke can answer, looked everywhere and cant find an answer...... is there anyway that a teacher can be in control of classroom but overall, us as techies, can view the same as the teacher across the domain...?? any ideas

Will dig out the company info for Bolton LEA's WAN for you, we have microwave links to all schools in the area, very good too, never a problem with it at all!! Pvt message me mate... Quick edit http://www.boltonlea.org.uk/ict/documents/broadband/Wireless%20Broadband.jpg The company is at the bottom of the layout pic lol!!

10.15.1.1 and 10.12.1.201 are both admin and curriculum networks but on the same infastructure, admin is active dir with fixed ip's, curriculum is act dir, dhcp, dns for both domains, as is the isa. bit of a pain network but it does work quite well, want to put all on 1 network but thats a task for the summer lol!!

external nic gateway is 10.10.11.254, not sure what is at the lea's end... know theres a websense server so prob another isa box lol!!

Yeah i thought it was that lol!! tried che subnet mask of 255.255.252.0 and 255.255.255.0 on external card but internet dies for pc's, didn't reboot though with new ip's, will remote in and change it, or wait till Monday lol!! if i remote in and change and it dont work its off till mon morn lol!!! Cheers for ur help, had an idea this was the problem, just wanted to get someone else view on it to make sure i was correct

Is anyone here good with ISA??? Having a bit of a nightmare at work and can't seem to get my head around why it is happening.... ISA sits between bolton lea microwave link and our network, just upgraded from 200 to 2006, been done the ISA course during the summer so know the ins and outs. Trying to get access to our exchange box from outside net... mail.harper-green.bolton.sch.uk (yeah check it, dont think the lea have set up outside dns right) thats not the point though, isa external ip = 10.10.11.200, 255,0,0,0 internal networks are 2 cards, 10.15.1.1 and 10.12.1.201 for net and admin domains, set up isa as lea have asked with exchange but not working, have a pc in the switch on external network which is set at 10.10.11.45 to see if i can see the isa from the lea network (we are the only school to break away and have our own isolated network) the ip dont work, cant ping the isa box even though rules are set up to allow it, can see in log ping go into isa but does nothing........... main reason am asking..... isa throws a fit in alerts and says its going to ignore spoof attacks from the 10 10- addresses on both the internal and external cards, ie why the ping packets are dropped by the isa... anyone had a nightmare like this? googled the errors and tried suggested things, cleared ip table etc...... any ideas?

Has anyone had any dealing with this moving databases, have a new server we want to move our sharepoint site to and want to migrate the current database......2 weeks later we are still trying to re attach it lol!! can grab it fine and back up but trying to get new server to find it is a nighmare, or i'm doing something wrong

HI all, just found this after starting at a new school near home!! After 9 years in the RAF fixing planes thought i'd have a go with puters!! (have an MCSE lol) This place is a wealth of knowledge!! Look forward to contributing a lot of help (and prob asking for it lol!!)
