I'd still attempt it to a folder which isn't the root of C.

Export to a folder which isn't the root of the C drive, which you know you have access to.

This one may help your decision too; "Is it wrong to sleep with your sister"

Nevermind, sorted now. There was another spurious ip route in there which I have now removed and all is working. Thanks to all for your input. Stuart

Just to add to this. If I specify the laptop's DG as the LA's router and run a tracert to their PROXY, it goes over six hops. If I specify my switch as the DG and tracert to their PROXY, the first hop is my switch and then it goes no further, but if I tracert to the third hop, that works and specifies my switch, then the LA box, then a hop I am assuming somewhere in the LA network, then another in their network. I hope that makes sense as I don't really want to paste all the results in here with all those IP addresses.

Ah, sorry, yes. The port on my switch which the LA's router is plugged in to is untagged in VLAN 51, which is the same VLAN as the laptop I'm running the tracert from. There is no config on my part done (or possible) to the LA's router.

Other than one is plugged in to the other, nothing is configured. If I go to the IP Configuration in the menu of my 5400zl, it says "IP Routing : Enabled"

I'll try and clarify what I have, and have done. County have given me 10.169.55.x. My default gateway (as far as County is concerned) should be 10.169.55.1 which is their Juniper box (which in turn connects to my BT broadband box. I assume the Juniper controls a VPN between me and County). I have set up a VLAN (51) with an IP address of 10.169.55.2 in my 5400zl. I have untagged a port on the switch and plugged a laptop into it, and given it an IP of 10.169.55.34 and a DG of 10.169.55.2 (the IP of the VLAN I setup). DNS is 10.169.55.11 and is a 2012R2 box. On my 5400zl, I put "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.169.55.1" If I type "show ip route" on my 5400zl then one of the lines says "0.0.0.0/0 10.169.55.1 51 Static" Does that answer the question @FN-GM?

OK, so it wasn't my last question So far I've learnt more in the last couple of hours from this thread than in my previous days of Googling! I now have a couple of VLANs setup and all can see everything else (huzzah!), however the Internet no longer works. If I do a tracert to the IP address of the LA's PROXY, the first hop is my DG (the IP of the VLAN in my switch) and then it gets no further. Any thoughts please?

Brilliant, thank you. Now working. So last question (he said optimistically); If I now setup my printers in 10.10.10.x, will everything just see them so long as I give their VLAN an IP in the 10.10.10.x range and tag their ports in it, or is there something else I need to do? Another ip route?

I've given the VLAN the IP address of 10.169.55.2 in my 5400zl, and then set that as the DG on the client. So does that mean that if I put "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.169.55.1" (as @Davit2005 says) then the client should work as 10.169.55.1 is the IP of the LA DG? Regarding the subnetting within my assigned LA range, would I be right to assume that is only the case if the devices need to be accessible from the outside world? For example, could I bung all my printers on 10.10.10.0 as they would only be accessed from within school, and they don't require Internet access? Thank you Stuart

I'm slightly confused by this statement as I want my 5400zl to be my core switch. I was hoping that my switch could do everything with all traffic over all VLANs, and if it's an Internet request then forward it to the LA box?

Why don't you just use Wordpad or Notepad?

So I'm trying to get to grips with VLANs, routing etc and am really struggling. It very quickly gets very complicated from what I can see! I'll give a little info on what I have; Internet connection provided by LA. This gives me a router in my server room which I can't configure at all. This router gives me (we'll say) 10.163.75.0 - 10.163.76.255 (255.255.254.0) through one port of the router and 10.169.55.0 (255.255.255.0) coming out of another port. The LA's box is the default gateway for both networks at 10.163.75.1 and 10.169.55.1. Both of these ports are connected to my HP 5400zl switch (10.163.75.2). I have setup a VLAN 51 in that switch, given that an IP of 10.169.55.2, and put the 10.169.55.0 connection from the LA router in it. I want my 5400zl to be my DG so that I can setup a few VLANs and route between them. How do I get the switch to route though? If I go in to the menu and go to the IP configuration then "IP routing" is enabled, but obviously I can't just specify 10.169.55.2 as my DG on the clients and expect everything to work. We are growing too big for our IP range so I want to do things like bung the WAPs and printers on their own IP ranges ad then route between them. I've read so many different pages and manuals it's just confusing the hell out of me. Where do I go from here please? I also have edge switches (another 5400zl and two HP 2920) with the VLAN setup in them. Will they require any additional setup (other than obviously tagging/untagging ports appropriately) for the routing to work? Thank you Stuart

When we did this in the past, we had two print queues. One was colour, one was B&W. We then gave the B&W queue to students and the Colour queue to staff. *Edit* Sorry, I've just re-read your post and think I'm misunderstanding it.

There is; you add powershell.exe and powershell_ise.exe to the "Don't run specified Windows Applications" GPO.

Looked like they had a small tank sitting to the right of the pool at first glance.

I don't think my logic is flawed, you don't need a licence to ride a push bike on the roads when everything else on the roads does, and that's not tresspassing. This is simply my ignorance on how these things work so I'm very glad of your input. I want to find out before I do anything so that I'm not breaking any rules.

For me, that implies the £32 is payable if the boat is *kept* in the water for 28 days. It won't be, it'll be deflated and taken home. Thanks to all for your replies. There is a club locally so I think I'll investigate.

TBF I'm not after anything very decent, just something I could jump in 5 or 6 times a year if it seemd like a nice day. Just wasn't sure on rules etc.

Hi all, I have a little birthday money spare and was after something a bit different. Somone has posted on hotukdeals this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AIQ8LGG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3PUOCDC8WPMH4&coliid=I53AYLS502VD5 Now don't get me wrong, I'm not the sort to just go "Wow that looks amazing", buy it and start trying to navigate around England, but I have to say that a little up and down the local river does sound nice. Does anyone do it? Is there a good source of information? I've found something about needing a licence on navigable rivers, but not a lot about what/where navigable rivers are or how you get a licence. I live near the River Waveney, and the Norfolk Broads are not far away (once again; I am not suggesting I will simply jump on the broads without a care in the world either!) Can anyone help? Thank you Stuart P.S. Obviously a life jacket would be purchased too.

Got any kit to trade in? If so, then the HP trade in scheme is well worth a look. I used it. Spent £25k instead of the budgeted £20k on 50 laptops. Traded in 36 laptops and 14 desktops and got £7.6k back therefore came in £2.6k under budget and had a very happy business manager, and didn't have to faff about disposing of the old kit at another time.

Slightly off topic, but not entirely - at my last place, BT cut off the Internet connection due to non-payment of the bill despite warnings. Business Manager said "Don't they realise we're a school?" Totally agree though with the copyright stuff. It's a no, same as downloading YouTube vids, and copying pages and pages of sheet music out of copyright books.

I had exactly this. Now solved it if it's any use to you; If you have "Remove common program groups from Start Menu" enabled in group policy, it prevents the tiles appearing.
