Straight after installing Pro D I open it up as an administrator, draw a square and then Extrude that square and hit OK on that and then close the program that fixes all the issues we have ever had with it No registry keys or messing just remember to extrude as an administrator.

Zone Bridging on the smoothwall is what you need to do to allow different ports on the Smoothwall to access servers on others. For example on my Smoothwall I have a set of Zone Bridges in place from a VLAN interface from my BYOD LAN to the servers hosted internally so they can access them and it works great for us. I cannot help on the Trapeze bits but certianly on our Ruckus with Smoothwall you can do what you want, we have 3 SSIDs each one goes a different place, the BYOD one is all controlled by Smoothwall so it does the DNS and DHCP for it al from the UTM and users hit the transparent proxy and then authenticate against the SSL Login on that and it works well There is plenty of threads on here about that part of the setup.

In a simple word No Sorry but after a number of attempted migrations and hearing some disasters in schools including a fellow school in my county who had to endure OfSted and a major incident where it let them down in both cases I wouldn't be rushing to do so for a year or two. That school has gone back to Facility and is now in talks to move to a fellow MIS as are a number of others due to these issues. This year will be a testing time for Advance they will need to show real improvement or the product will just die out, given they have already announced further work on the Facility suite of products that is a clear sign they know Progresso is not fit for purpose yet and thus needs something to be done to it.

I actually saw him the other week walking past his house as he lives about 15 minutes from where I do -
What item is discounted as iPad, iMac and Macs i looked at for interest were all the same price as Edu or Retail Must be the cables or iPhone fixit cases, sorry bumpers they can do cheap

Nice idea but a bit clunky in parts I'd say. Talking of random items for weddings, our exams officers son got married the other month and they wore cleaned up nuts and bolts for cuff-links on the wedding day (they are mechanics / wagon drivers) and I thought that was a great thing as one of them forgot to bring them

I've used @Net-Ctrl for my Ruckus needs since day one and never failed to impress, they have fitted and configured and all been great

I have the Netgear DGN3500 here and I'm sure someone like D-Link or Belkin made it for and on-behalf of Netgear as its really unreliable compared to my old Netgear DG834G v2 that it replaced As a result I'm now fitting Draytek kit instead and it never misses a beat.

Public congratulations on here to go with the niceties over the weekend at the show Should have convinced the H&S to file the sharp points off the trophy though as its very sharp! Edit: Should also say that is why the certificate was out on the desk in the hotel room I thought we were having a certificate competition thing for the next event of who brings the shiniest awards

It certainly did with me, the car was in my own name and I was the main driver but my mum and dad were on the policy and it brought it down, and ironically it had that positive until I was about 23 and then it makes no difference so I put them on then they are fully covered rather than reliant on 3rd party coverage from there own insurance policy.

Not more gloves I have 3 or 4 pairs already so don't really want any more

Interesting I have had R15 and R16 and not had either of those problems, fine had some other ones but not that one. Do you not have support / maintenance on it? The support team can be quite helpful when you get to someone whose understanding of the English language isn't KS2 or below but when you get a good agent they are brilliant. As for Tape I still use it, infact only had the kit 2 years or so now as its much more reliable than HDDs were in the Buffalo NAS's we had

Awww we I could attempt to do a tiger job on @GrumbleDook but it might look more like what has happened when a tiger crossed a Toyota Hilux in the jungles at high speed as I am very much not artistic! Looking forward to meeting members on the Saturday with @GrumbleDook and @Dos_Box -
I have half a dozen of these Lenovo "netbooks" and they are really good and I'm impressed as was the Director of Sixth form and the students in Sixth Form who are using them they are better than a netbook as they are a little bit bigger but still nice and portable which is what we wanted.

Just seeing his happy little face made me smile i LOVED the roamer at Primary School Bring him back We didn't have a modern one with the posh face kit we made our own from stickers Aww early 90s technology was great (goes on eBay to look for one to buy for me personally at home....)
