    Routing Help

    This does seem to be smoothwall specific. I used a dlink appliance in place of the smoothwall with the same static route and things worked as expected. Any smoothwall gurus?

    Routing Help

    I need someone to tell me why my setup doesn't work. My laptop is connected as 192.168.100.200. Default GW is 192.168.100.4 (smoothwall firewall, internet is on the other side). I have another firewall at 192.168.100.191 that connects to the 10.20.0.0 network. I add static route in...

    Failed RAID 5 Controller Help

    We have a PowerEdge 4400 with and 8 drive backplane with 2 drives RAID 1 and 3 RAID 5. I believe the controller (PERC 3) has failed because it fails to start at boot, so I think the disks might be OK. What I'd like to know is if I can transfer the 3 RAID 5 drives to another identical machine...

    VLAN Help

    The Watchguard is an X1000 running WFS 7.4 (the older OS). I don't think it supports any VLAN features.

    VLAN Help

    I'm trying to setup a wireless network here at work (a high school). I've installed 18 Proxim AP-4000 PoE access points connected to a Netgear FSM7326P PoE 24+2Port Layer3 switch. Here is a quick and dirty basic diagram: As you can see the Netgear connects to the rest of my network that...

    Possibly stupid question about WiFi routers...

    Yes, this should work. When you connect it to the switch, use one of the LAN ports and leave the "WAN" or "internet" port disconnected.

    No, it could run entirely independent of any computer. It has a built in web interface that you use to configure it and view the image.

    Check out the D-Link cameras. http://www.dlink.com/products/category.asp?cid=60&sec=0 I had one a while back before we put in a "real" security system at work. It was "ok", but not totally reliable uptime wise. I'm sure those issues have probably been worked out in their newer models. They...

    Smoothwall

    The smoothwall web interface doesn't run on the "normal" port that most web sites run on. This means that in order to connect to the smoothy you need to tell your browser what port to try and connect on. In the smoothy case, Port 81. So, http://192.168.0.70:81 should work in your case.

    Rebuild Dell Perc RAID 5 Array

    Ok I'm back in bussiness. Here is what I was able to do. I pulled the disk in question out and put it in a spare slot on a Dell PowerEdge 4400 that was running Win2000 and had OpenManage installed. I then initialized the disk on that machine and pulled it out. I put it back in the 2450 and it...

    Rebuild Dell Perc RAID 5 Array

    bump I read that these controllers may have a bug where if you initialize a drive in an array that you might lose (50% chance) all of the data in the array.

    Rebuild Dell Perc RAID 5 Array

    The disk shouldn't be bad. It's not a replacement, it was just pulled out and then stuck back in. The box is running Fedora Core 4, is Open Manage available for that?

    We have a Poweredge 2450 here at work that has a PERC 3/Si card in it. One of the guys in the shop pulled out one of the disks in RAID5 and now I need to know how to repair the array. If I pull the drive and stick it back in... it doesn't rebuild. Do I need to initialize the drive in the...

    Wireless deplyment in a High School

    You gotta connect the wire. I can do 50 iBook in about 2 Hours (including setup and break down). What I do is bring a 24 port switch and set up the iBooks on a table and connect them all to the switch and then connect my portable G4 Tower to the switch. The tower runs all the services I need...

    What Firewall are YOU using?

    At home, nothing. I'm on dialup, so I figure I wouldn't be a direct target of a script kiddie, so I just keep my Win2k ICS box patched and the defs on AVG updated. At work we use a Watchguard II (old and dying) and we will be replacing that this February with a Smoothwall with the Dans...

    Wireless deplyment in a High School

    Agreed, we've been using Linksys in select locations now for 3 years or so and they work great! Now is the time for a full blown solution though, and it's obvious those are not the way to go in a large scale deployment.

    There is no doubt in my mind that I will need AT LEAST 20 APs. This is a 3 story building with three different wings built out of solid, steel reenforced, concrete. Wifi signals travel poorly and forget about cell phone coverage. We have the expertise to do this in house if we just pick the...

    Thanks for the replys. I'm definately going to check that Orinoco out. I was a big Orinoco fan back in the day, but hadn't thought to give them a look on this project. I've not worked with a lot of high-end network gear in the past. Does anyone know if it's generally possible to get a sample...
