Ah ok got it, thanks Kelsenellenelvian..... Now i do look stupid Cheers!

1Megabit per second at top speed would give you in theory 128kbps downstream, Consider you are on a signal that has a measurement of strength on a scale of 1-5, if you were getting the worst signal (i.e 1) you would in theory recieve 128/5 = 26kbps. I have not tested this theory but it makes sense to me that this is what you should expect

I still think im going to go with the 3Ware one, it supports server 2008 and i cant find much on the one you suggested Crahak with regards to server 2k8 to be honest. Also one more question if anybody knows, The bus is a PCI Express 8X, forgive my stupidity but am i right in saying that this card fits into one of the graphics card slots? Thanks

excellent, thanks Crahak il take a look now

Please can someone have a look at the links below, they are 2 very different prices but appear to be the exact same card, can anyone verify this for me please? http://www.cck4business.co.uk/ProductDetai...GL&CartID=1 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124456 Thanks P.S i realise the top link is without VAT, but it still only comes to £470!

Hi everyone, Every once in a while when i shutdown i get a bluescreen that says power_driver_state_failure. I looked over the dump but im missing a few symbols like nt!_KPRCB despite having run symchk over *.* in my system32 directory numerous times Anyway if someone would have a quick look i would be most grateful, link below http://rapidshare.com/files/157027198/Mini102408-01.zip.html Many thanks

try reinstalling TCP/IP in network connection properties and see if that works. btw have you scanned for spyware/viruses at all? Thanks

Use your new machine to Run a Virtual Machine, and in that virtual machine install all of this "evil" software - problem solved!

around 2 TB in old IDE Drives lying about (not used) 1.2 TB in my NAS box 4.75 TB in main pc 2.25 in other PC a 10TB drive would be a godsend for me

Gom player is the Dogs...

How about 2 seperate subnets with rules that forward port 80 and port 443 traffic (from the network with no internet) to the default gateway of the network with internet.

Look into Wsus, maybe its the way to go with that number of computers to manage.

Well said Sir!

See this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/Holy-St-my-graph...on-t113551.html for my story about my 7900 GS XXX. EDIT: it was no more than 6 months old at the time

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can answer this question: In AD under the E-Mail Addresses Tab there is a type called MS. What does it do/what is it used for? Thank you

If you were watching videos on your own then probably no one would notice but if everyone on the network starts to watch youtube videos then you are gonna notice a slowdown. Maybe that is his reasoning?

If you select "microsoft exchange server" you will be prompted for a server and username. The only other thing in there is "cached exchange mode" Which would not cause the problem you are having. Start again and just google "how to configure outlook 2003 for exchange" and follow one of the many tutorials replacing their server name with yours and their username with yours and everything should be fine.

If you truly have an exchange box and are using outlook in the correct way then the users mailbox is stored on the server and will look the same for any computer they log onto. Can you confirm exactly how you have setup outlook to point to the exchange server? Thanks

Have you enabled the memory remap feature in your BIOS (If your BIOS has it?)

All you need is a 1-1 NAT rule on your Router for each computer your have. As to whether or not that router provides this functionality im not sure. You would need a business grade router i would guess as most home customers have standard SUA Nat in place and therefore use only a single address.

No problems

If that box is running SQL then a hardware RAID Card is the way to go. As to which one would allow you to connect up your Current disk and mirror it... i am not sure, maybe someone else knows a card that allows this?

I would suggest more ram for that SBS box, SBS does so much and is hard to run smoothly on anything less than 2GB (obviously depending on the number of users). So that coupled with Software mirroring *may* be ok. What exactly does the program do? and how do it work? (flat files\ SQL backend?) How many users are you serving? Thanks

Simple answer is yes. but software RAID as im sure you are aware comes with a performance hit.

do you have anything adobe installed on this server? And personally i would use autoruns or procmon to examine what is going on at boot-time. Thanks
