  1. I just laughed. Sorry. When will people realize saving to network folders means everything is (hopefully) all backed up. Than again saying that and knowing the staff here, every-time a machines rebuilt etc I always check to make sure there is nothing saved locally (and 7/10) there is. Specially when its any of the SMT
  2. We tend not to use servers for browsing either, saves alot of time and alot of hassle. Don't for get with Spybot and (TeaTime --live monitoring) you're likely to run into problems with it disabling access for innocent programs. Just get an anti-spyware module for Sophos and let that handle all that needs to be done. We use Mcafee and all its integrated loveliness which includes anti-spyware
  3. Is that a question prior to upgrade or is there a problem you're experiencing?
  4. I always wondered that. Wasn't there a movie once about all this jazz. A virus that could infiltrate anything via electrical socket (Maybe that's what everyones worrying about) or on a more serious note. I've noticed things take 1-2years after everyone else has it for it too catch up over here.
  5. Showoff! I've still got a 4 hour wait =(
  6. cpc.co.uk or uk.insight.com (Devolo DLAN)
  7. Same here. Savings always remembered etc etc
  8. Amplitudes of servers / Core switches and the likes including Server Room AC's which arent hardwired into the phase = Single phase. We've just had another one put in as well for the Swimming pool and Sports Hall.
  9. It's called Skillspace, and its integration is outstanding.
  10. Have you asked your electrician what the phasing is like. I.e. are there more than one "lines" running through the building. I know for example here, for 2 x ICT Rooms and our Server Room we have 2 phases. One to run the server room and the other for the PC's as too not overload everything. Might be the problem ;]
  11. Great find! However than VM Image size is appalling =( One the plus side its half-term and no ones around. INTERNET INTERNET, YOU'RE ALL MINE!
  12. Sure are, a few of our boarding houses are listed buildings etc etc therefore we cant touch anything related to internal work. We use the DLAN networking kits and they're superb for the job. Not 100% efficient but what more can you ask for. Just make sure, wherever your using Ethernet over mains, make sure its all the same phase. Otherwise you sit there for hours trying to figure out why its not working.
  13. Had the same problems a while back. Had to flush DNS cache and then tried again, eventually it worked. In the mean time I just used the servers IP address as stated above. BTW: Its; CMD>ipconfig /flushdns on both your machine and the servers for good measure

    I wish that were the case, but staff often seem reluctant to set things up for the student as its not a solution, just a repititive fix. We do have 25 machines, all assigned a roaming profile account. MTECH1>25 etc. It works and it doesnt (some settings actually remain, where as Sibelius has many a registry setting)however the students can't save into their own user folders and plagurism takes a hold, and we really cant afford roaming profiles for all students. As the Music Tech rooms are routed through everything from 100MB Switches, Fibre Convertors, Fibre Switches and all that jazz. I think its a 6 switch jump from MTECH to Serveroom. Its a manageable situation.
  15. One of our techies is a women, and to be honest she does her job ever-so-well. Male/Female combinations are the key. She thinks differently than I, and thus we always resolve issues. Good too see women breaking into every "typical" or "popular" male field.
  16. Tis' a shame the human eye can't tell any difference between 2-8ms.
  17. Hi All, Quick query, as I've used all resources trying to resolve this error. Can't seem to find the fix. Vigor 3300 (192.168.0.59 Strict BIND on Squids MAC no other traffic allowed through) > Squid (Debian Etch - 192.168.0.54) > LAN. So, I've set the box up, made some sneaky delay pools, create a 70GB caching location across a few drives blaah-de-blaah. However users cannot access HTTPS traffic. I also read you cant have the proxy transparent and have HTTPS traffic. Does this mean we can only use proxy settings within Internet Explorer, and turn transparency off? Iptables rules using the Transparent settings. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.54:3128 Would doing the above, changing --dport 80 to --dport 443 work. I've not seen this documented anywhere, and to be honest its driving me nuts. 443 is on the ACL as SafeSSLPorts. I read the following from a previous post: iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT but my Iptables knowledge is very limited. Anyone have any ideas?
  18. Ranger Outpost - Got to love it.
  19. Hi All, Would just like to throw an idea into the air regarding our planned future switch upgrade. We currently have optic gigabit backbone throughout the school. With roughly 34 switches across the locations. More than likely more. Most are Planet Unmanaged switches. Most are 10/100 some are 10/100/1000. Those that are 10/100 are connect view fibre convertors into the switch. Which defeats the point of the whole operation. We have a few Fibre switches in as well. We need a complete solution from whichever company. Switch replacement, lifetime warranty, support and all that jazz. Switches should be managed and support SNMP2.0+ as we will implement Mcafee NAC (Switch Enforcement, Server2008 NAP enforcement(Secondary) when its all upgraded. Bar Cisco due to price implications, which other companies should we approach, does anyone have any contacts with consultants we could call. Thank you.
  20. Ilient Sysaid - Helpdesk Asset Database Reports Analytics Built-in Software including VNC built in. User submits ticket "Internet not working" on MACHINE1. Ticket is created. Check ticket. Click RC > VNC > Solved and closed. It's everything in one. It also monitors servers. You can tell it too monitor CPU,HDD,MEM usage. Ports, Pings, Services etc. You get a hour/day/week/month/year outputs as well.

    What about two different hardware profiles in two Music Tech rooms. Student selects Sound Card A in Room A, and Sound Card B in Room B. Needs to be configured every time. Including default instruments, latency and the such. We got around this issue with Cubase (Cubase saves its config in application data) We just copied it onto a server, remove the start icon and replaced with a COPY > USERFOLDER > START batch file. Works perfectly for different hardware profiles
  22. Originally Posted by rreynolds24 do you need to do a Code: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward perhaps? IIRC. The above only fixes Windows XP FTP Support through Squid
  23. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.3:3128 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 Replace 192.168.1.3:3128 with your Squid Server IP:PORT (I think I typed/read it right) Using the statement that eth1 is LAN SQUID & eth0 is WEB SQUID
  24. You need to create and IP tables rule to route the traffic. You need to specify which is INBOUND and which is OUTBOUND. Otherwise it just won't go. P.s. and if its transparent. Good luck getting HTTPS working. :/

    Does anyone here run Sibelius 5 within their school. I'm trying to figure out if the software can be run on a Rangered network in two classrooms with two different hardware profiles. One with EMU-404 Sound Cards, the other with the MIDI Devices imbedded into the "keyboards" themselves. A member of staff seems to think that we are wrong, and its how the "students profiles are setup as well as ranger itself" as the students have to constantly setup Sibelius settings (latency, default device etc etc) in one of the rooms. We had the same problem with Cubase Studio, however I found the resolve to that, by logging a student in on 1 of each machine, and than copying the setup "application data". Now whenever a student loads cubase, it copies the 6MB worth of application data into the users folder and than loads Cubase. It seems the same cannot be done for Sibelius
