  1. Does it support +write on NTFS mounts?
  2. Morning all, Anyone use pre-logon wireless on their laptops? Our Intel ones seem to be fine, intel has its own tool to manage this, however we now have 4 x Toshiba A300's and albeit the driver is available, I can find no utility to start pre-logon wireless as these will be floating ART laptops. Is there a generic tool that can be used? (Much like the oodles of pre-logon VPN clients out there)(WPA2-PSK, as no radius setup) Its using the Realtek RTL8187B. Any ideas, thoughts would be greatly recieved.
  3. The font on the photo's seems rasterized, where all the other text holds well, the text labelling the animals looks completely different to the rest.
  4. Thanks Geoff, I did think of that but had tried 127.0.0.1:1356 and it still allowed a connection through, however localhost works perfectly! P.S Would the above code do the same?
  5. Hi Guys, Anyone know how to block external (internal) access to a port on a *nix machine. Currently running a SQUID(NTLM)>DANSGUARDIAN>SQUID(CACHE) setup and its working beautifully, only problem. Changing ports allows skipping of both S1, and DG. NTLM running on 8080, DG running on 1355, CACHE running on 1356. I can change the port to 1356 and head straight onto the interweb, how do I only allow 127.0.0.1 to access port 1356? I found this code somewhere on the interweb, however it wasn't related to the topic. iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -s ! 127.0.0.1/24 -p tcp --dport 1356 -j DROP Not quite sure, not sure on the /24 either. Any ideas?
  6. I wonder if Tom has a (if title = smoothwall* than subscribe) command embedded somewhere, always prompt, and always exact!
  7. We use Sysaid, its perfect. Helpdesk, System Inventory, Software Inventory, Built-in VNC, Monitoring, Reporting, Licensing etc etc, theres nothing that isn't included, bit pricy though, but well worth it.

  9. Google have 41 datacentres spanning the globe, the likelyhood of all those users hitting the same datacentre is unlikely. Added your query, surely if everyone asks for the same information the search query is cached, thus the same information comes back. They spent $2.7billion in 2007 alone on Data Centers, they mean business, serious business. Their main US datacenter is fed via hydro-power as its consumption completly drains its local grid.
  10. When you see how big Googles data-centres are, you'll soon understand why its so fast.
  11. Google have a service for developers or individuals like yourself within the site. Just login and browse, its in there somewhere.
  12. Congratulations, hope everything works out for the best!
  13. .dat implies roaming, dat is freely modifiable, by any user. Renaming the file to .man locks the profile, no more changes nor more changes during login. I assume your slow login is a result of using the profile on different machines and the new machine settings, new application settings and the like are being copied back into the profile. Mandatory (.man) stops this, and it forces the load of settings, thus resulting in faster logins. Try a rename from .dat to .man and give it a go. (Unless of course you have every user with their own .dat)
  14. Our users, with no profiles (Laptop users) generally take 10minutes to logon to domain machines other than their own personal laptops. I assume as a result of a profile needing setup. Likewise with students, any student takes an age during initial login, but subsequent users login perfectly fast. Perhaps Nethood, Printhood, Default User get setup with the new profile. 1st Student slow login > 2nd+ Student Fast > 1st Staff slow login > 2nd+ Staff Fast > 1st Student slow login (Student/Staff profiles are different for obvious reasons, less redirections) It seems to be profile driven, when a different profile is loaded it seems to reset.
  15. Dell Latitude D520 + 1GB RAM + 22'' Monitor. Suits me perfectly. Had to wait around 6months till new financial year though, before that, anything I could find.
  16. Posting via Google Chrome as we speak, so far VERY impressed, its fast, its sleek, and it loads exceptionally fast. It's perfect.
  17. All presentations sound dandy indeed, but a big point, and an attractive feature from an outside perspective is the following. Creating of a Vanilla Server 2003/2008 enviroment. AD setup, PDC setup, DNS setup, DHCP setup, does and dont's etc. Presentations and how-tos like this cover all aspects

    VPN

    Thanks for that Tom. Clear guidance! Just what I needed. It's unlikely to be more than 3 of us, with max 3 online at the same time, however I doubt it, the upload/download of that line is pants as its not leased.

    Trousers

    No, just a presenter with the same fashion sense, and I'm sure he'll gladly share his tips about cords and patches.
  20. You'd hope people would actually think before click, for start in the image. (In the article) 1.) It's clearly an image load, as the corners are rounded yet the ajax/js code isn't making it look round. 2.) Different colour theme, Windows XP Default Theme popup, on an Windows Vista Aero Theme. Somethings are obvious, than again, majority of people just don't noticed.

    VPN

    L2TP at your estimate (PC-to-SITE or MobileDevice-to-SITE) Draytek actually have a Vigor 3300 demo site, where you can mess around with its exact configuration panel on the interweb. DrayTek V3300 Advanced Router :: Administration Which is always nice and dandy right? (Bit slow, its hosted in Taiwan)

    I'm sure if you write into Top Gear and ask James May, he'll provide you with at least 100 shops to get leather patches ;-)

    VPN

    Anyone got any useful guides for setting VPN up, or understanding it a bit more. Trying to setup VPN access on our Vigor 3300 router, but haven't the foggiest how it all works and what to use. It supports PPTP L2TP and IPSEC.
  24. My Little Pony, My Little Pony All in a twinkling spring is here My Little Pony, My Little Pony When did all the leaves and grass appear? Where there were snowdrifts, now there are no drifts Nor is the sky overcast My Little Pony, My Little Pony Winter is over at last My Little Pony, My Little Pony Frisking about as spring unfolds My Little Pony, My Little Pony Breathing in the scent of marigolds Greeting the bluebirds, welcoming new birds Romping through meadow and wood My Little Pony, My Little Pony Winter is over for good Everyone's very festive and merry Everything's going full swing My Little Pony, My Little Pony Aren't you happy it's spring? Aren't you happy it's spring? Or just "My little pony, my little pony, all mine"
