    Cheapest Way to get a MBP

    Are you opposed to purchasing a previous generation MBP? If not, www.macmall.com might still have some available for under $1,500.00 and they are not refurbished. I actually picked up a new (not refurb) previous generation MBP for my wife (2.5Ghz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD) for $1,399.00 at...

    Tadiran VoIP System- General Help/Training Info?

    1) If the phones are using Cat3 cabling then either someone failed to properly upgrade the existing network before deploying your IP Telephony system or they are actually digital handsets. The first of these two being an issue that arises quite a bit with vendors selling low end IP Telephony...

    Set up Cisco ip phone at home?

    Is this for folks using a single IP Phone at home for personal use or for those of us out here that use one as an extension of their office phone system? I have an 871W w/ power injector and a 7970 for my home office (connected to an IAD with a T1) all tied into my actual office as I work...

    Use router as a wireless adapter sort of?

    255.255.255.128 is a 25 bit mask that results in a single subnet with 126 hosts. The host range would be aaa.bbb.ccc.129 - aaa.bbb.ccc.254 I did not look at the articel you linked, but assume that is just an example of an IP scheme you can use. I think the bigger question is, can your AP's...

    Cisco 7905 IP Phone (SIP) problem

    I don't normally use the Cisco IP Phones with the SIP load (usually SCCP), but I believe you need to have a password set before that field will change and allow you to edit the configuration... Also, you can always edit the configuration from the phones interface instead of using a browser...

    VLAN Help

    Your best bet will be to do the following since some of your devices do not have VLAN support. Use your new switch as the core router/switch for the network. Connect two internal ports from the firewall to that switch. Configure each port on your firewall for the corresponding internal...

    Cisco router and a cable modem

    Do you have it set up similar to this (I am not sure what interfaces you are actually using so this is simply an example)? As long as it's ethernet on both sides then as long as you have your interfaces, routing, NAT, and ACL's set up properly then you should be good to go...

    Am I the only one having trouble finding a consistent network brand?

    You could always move out of the consumer market and into the commercial market with guys like Cisco. These products will obviously cost more and be more difficult to configure, but if you are looking for reliability, they are hard to beat. That being said, if any of the problems you have...

    Anyone used/using Cisco's WebVPN setup?

    So far so good in my experience. I have been running it on a pair of ASA 5550's for a few month's now. The 5550's will be overkill for 100+ SSL peer's, but the 5510 or 5520 would work. If you go with the 5520 you can take advantage of VPN clustering and load balancing as well as statefull...

    Parents want to do online shopping, banking from free wifi spots, how to secure?

    That's why I said "As long as", meaning they have done the proper research and are certain that the financial institution they are using meets the criteria they require. Maybe I should have been more clear, but in no way did I mean to imply that you should assume they are secure just because...

    Parents want to do online shopping, banking from free wifi spots, how to secure?

    Could they not be relatively certain that their information is secure as long as they are using a financial institution that has implemented safeguards such as SSL, if they use a complex password, and if they change said password at regular intervals, etc? As long as NO data is sent...

    Gigabit Media Converters

    First off, Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet are both Ethernet. A media converter is used to do exaclty what it says, convert the media (i.e., Copper to Fiber or vice-versa). A 3825 should have no problem negotiating it's speed and/or duplex. You should also be able to force the...

    My highschools wifi

    Wireless networks are based on standards, IEEE 802.11x. Therefore, as long as you have a compliant wireless adapter then you should be able to connect whether you are using Linux, Windows, etc. Are you unable to connect to the wireless network at all, unable to obtain an IP address?

    Comcast problem – bandwidth and pings

    All you are doing is limiting the amount of traffic your firewall let's through to your local LAN, that's it. You have no control over what traffic actually hits the outside of your firewall, only the traffic (or in this case, amount of traffic) that you let in... Does this make sense or are...
