Hi I wonder if anyone who works in a Birmingham school may have the answer to this. I know of the Educational Recording Agency Licence which allows schools to record tv programmes and show them in class in a educational scenario, but does anyone know if Birmingham City Council have this licence for all schools or does each school have to purchase it? Also if a school does not have this licence, I presume you cannot record tv programmes and show them in class and certainly not make copies of those recordings. Would I be correct in this thinking?

peo i was in the same situation as you. I went with CSNM. Nothing but good words from me about CSNM. Quick support, very helpful even when I came out with some noob questions. we have our domain (Sheldon Heath Community Arts College) with BGfL. We got a static IP address from CSNM. Then all we did was ask BGfL/Link2ICT to create a subdomain (web.shheldonheath.bham.sch.uk) which pointed to the static IP address we got from CSNM. Then they jsut create a redirect page in your SINA webspace. So when someone types in http://www.sheldonheath... they get sent to the website hosted by CSNM via the redirect. So no it wont affect your mymail, etc.

i dont suppose if i wanted it for personal use they would give me that deal?

Hi all I am after Microsoft Office 2007 Small Business edition which is to be installed on 7 pc's so i need 7 licences. does anyone know of a really cheap way of getting these? i looked on a few sites and they are asking for £240 ust for 1 licence (cd) which will cost £1680!!!

i admit it does appear like virus like behaviour but we have symantec vp 4 with the latest definitions, surely that would have picked anything up?

Really strange problem. Anyone come across this. IE7 closes for no reason. We are an RM CC3 site. Happens to different computers and different users. You can be viewing a website, or webmail or eportal and it will just closes unexpectedly.

who are you with?

hi yes its the school website no streaming other than perhaps one video quite a few pictures normal newsletter, news, etc. yes i am using joomla for the site.

Hi all Those people who have their school website hosted externally, can i ask how much bandwidth you are using every month? I have signed up for 30gb per month but am concerned it is not going to be enough.

you guys have got me thinking. i never even thought about the ni and tax side. i wonder if i just set up the network and not do the support side and i ask them for a lump sum of say £500 for setting the network up

Really? I thought one could work more than one job at a time? And it would not affect my school job in the slightest.

its a tuition place that will be open for 4 hours per evening and on the weekend.

is that £25 per hour for the maintenance as well or is that just for the install? also i may have to be on call, so as i said if i am needed 4 hours per evening but they never actually call me on that evening, how do you work that out? do yu still charge them the same rate per hour even though you havent done any work?

im looking at prob 4 hours per evening and also weekend.

Hi all I may become involved in a project out of school hours that will involve setting up a network from scratch for a business which will consist of 10 pc's, router, switch, waps, sbs 2003, etc. This also invloves setting up server 2003 including all dns, dhcp, gpo stuff. I would also be doing the maintenance too which is a bigger job really than the installation itself. How much would you charge for your services?
