Thanks for your replies guys, looks like I may have to give the admin staff some bad news then. I think i will sign uo to http://www.capitaes.co.uk, just for the extra support.

I have recently installed Mcafee, after having Sophos. Yesterday I had to ghost some machines and found I was getting errors on the client machine and unable to proceed with the ghosting of the machine. Well if anyone else has this problem here is the solution. Mcafee as a standard install puts port blocking on port 6666 incoming and outgoing this is the post that ghost server uses so you have make an exception for ghostsrv.exe or remove the port blocking on 6666. If this has been reported sorry for repeating

We had the local LEA guy in yesterday to have a look at the admin network (something the school paid into before I started) and he decided there was a problem with sims.net that could only be fixed by completely reinstalling sims.net. Now the reports that our admin staff have created are missing, they are listed in sims, but when you click on them you recieve a message that they are not available, all the standard reports are there though. There must be a way of recognising which files refer to these user defined reports but how? Is there a good document I could read, as I have not really had alot of exposure to sims apart from upgrading it, or could someone tell me how to do it.

we are waiting .....any time soon

Yep just got acces denied too

Well done guys this was the best days work, finding this site. Its great to know your not on your own. Happy Birthday

Hey webman I'll race you See who gets to that part of the world first. BTW I found this to be an informative site WorkPermit.com

I will look forward to that, but if anyone can help with the other it would be very welcomed

This is a bit of an offchance really but hey here goes. I am planning to emergrate to Australia within the next 12 to 18 months I plan to relocate to Perth, so I was wondering do any of you know of a site like this one for Australia, also do any of you know anything about ICT in Australia including jobs. Thanks

The DHCP on the box is not running, although there is DHCP on my network This is the Resol.conf ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script search schoolname.lea.sch.uk nameserver 10.2.x.x nameserver 62.171.x.x nameserver 62.171.x.x I don't know where the interface.conf is on the system ( still learning )

Hi Back again, Well I have had the box talking to the internet, when I put the dns server addresses for the ISP into the settings, but if I reboot the settings revert back to the network DNS and therefore the can't talk to the internet. Once I correct this problem it can take nearly a day before the internet is back. Any Ideas?

Well to add to the t-shirts the best one I got thats not suitable for school use is one i picked up in Bali earlier this year the famous

Thanks for all that, what a learning curve this is turning into! It seems that there are no errors in the config file, so I guess I need to check the lines I am entering again to make sure I have got everthing correct

Well I must be doing something wrong!! I have just tried editing the config file with textpad and the samething happens. Here is what I am doing 1. connect to the Linux box with winSCP 2. browse to the config file 3. save to the desktop 4 edit with textpad 5 upload the config file 6. reboot the linuxbox 7. firewall fails on reboot 8. putting the config file back to its original state fails Is there a command that I can use to check the installation of squid ect

Geoff I have been playing around for about 2 days now not really getting anywhere. I noticed that after editing the conf file I was getting FAILED in the startup for the firewall. So I reinstalled Clarkconnect all was fine untill I tried to edit the squid config file. Then on reboot I got this Failed again. I am using notepad to do the editing and I am thinking after re reading your posts that this my be the problem, if it is can you recomend a freeware text editor for this purpose.

Hi I use Server 2003 release 2, and there is a feature that allows you to place file filters on folders, there is an already made audio filter (but it can be any type of file filter). I use this on the students home folder, and then I have another folder that is mapped as a drive on which students can only read and staff can read and write. Therefore stopping students filling their home folders with mp3s and the like. Although this doesn't stop the downloads and portable devices from being played. The only flaw in my plan is if the students have to save music file for their coursework but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Geoff I think I am getting the idea now, I have just printed the conf file (48 pages) the different lines have to appear in the expected area of the conf file (am I correct?) I think I have done that for the acl lines and the never_direct, but I am unsure of where to place the cache_peer line. Originaly I had put all the lines at the end of the file.

Hi I'm still having problems, is there a document i can read on this? acl all 0.0.0.0/0 Do I edit this line? acl local-servers .yourdomain.lea.sch.uk acl local-subnet 10.0.0.0/24 Do I edit this line? never_direct all always_direct local-servers, local-subnet cache_peer proxy.schoolname.lea.sch.uk parent 8080 7 no-query default

Thanks guys I will go away and try that straight away.

OK I have spent most of the morning trying to get this to work, but obviously I am doing something wrong These are what I have tried 8080 being the proxy port. Can anyone seeany errors

Thanks webman for letting me know about WinSCP. I have just tried it at home on my ClarckConnect box here and WinSCP makes things alot easier. We can't award stars for good advice here, but you should have one for that

I Have found this the only problem is I have to login and alter the squid.conf file....... starting to get out of my depth here OK I can login using putty? but then how do i edit the squid.conf file

Hi i have been using clarkconnect at home for about 4 years now and have found it to be a very useful piece of software. So I have decided to use it in school to act as a proxy server amonst other things it can be used for. But I have hit a stumbling block, our school has to use a SWGFL proxy for our internet access. I know that this means I have to configure ClarkConnect to go through this proxy to work. I believe that the answer lies in configuring /etc/resolv.conf although I'm not really sure. Is there anyone who uses Linux who could guide me through.
