Hi Guys, Advice needed please. Our SMTs have decided, in there wisdom, to allow a group of students to setup a video streaming server on the school's network as a project. They will be setting up a Suse Linux box to do this and will ,of course, have to use the school's (Microsoft) infrastructure to stream to classrooms. Now, I know jack sh*t about Linux. The SMTs know even less. I don't want to leave a potential open door into the school's network. can I tap your collective knowledge to come up with enough reasons to put before the SMTs to stall the project until I have time to at least get my head around Suse a bit. Any advice about potential security or other issues greatly received. Cheers, Stuart

Thanks guys, Gave me the excuse I needed to muck around with WDS. Works perfectly. So much better than the RM s***. Cheers!

Hi, I'm having problems building HP 6730s with Marvell Yukon 88E8042 NICs notebooks using the RM Build thing. It recognises the NDIS driver (downloaded from Yukon site) and, initializes TCP/IP but then stalls with no error message immediately after grabbing an IP. We are having no network/build problems with other machines. It's driving me nuts! Any ideas greatfully received. Cheers!

Thanks guys, there's some useful stuff there. Cheers!

You are right Jiser, but where the NM's role is recognised as strategic (as in this case), most vacancies are around the £30-34k mark (3-4k more in London). This would indeed seem low (there are many threads regarding salary on this site!). Also, public sector workers get fat pensions, so it's not all bad!

Hi guys, Anyone know of any good FREE resources to get me started with HTML and CSS? Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I started out on a Novell network. Didn't stay there long!!

Thanks to you all. Usefull advice there. LPI looks good and Redhat, as you say Matt40k, too many £££. Thanks again. Stuart

hi M1ddy, If they are still having a problem connecting to their home wireless, show them how to make sure that IE is not configured to use a proxy (as you probably have configured at school). Tools> Internet options> connections> LAN Settings. This causes problems for our home users. Cheers!

Hi Guys, Anybody got any advice as to what would be a good course to take for a Windows administrator who wants an intro to Linux? I have extensive experience with Windows networks but no Linux experience and have an opprtunity through the school's CPD program to take some instructor led training or possibly buy training materials. Any advice as to good courses gratefully appreciated. Cheers!!

Didn't mean to hit a nerve. Sorry.
