well, something is listening on that port from the outside. But I couldn't get it to log in. It looked like a permissions error, but who knows really. Are you sure the DNS is set up correctly? What happens when you try it using the IP address instead of the name? And how about getting FTP to work on ...

Uh... what is your question? What type of options are you going for? Specificity is our friend.

Depends how your network is set up. I will assume that you have a firewall, and that this firewall is able to block outgoing ports. Well, it is as simple as figuring out what port Kazza uses and not allowing that type of traffig out through your firewall.

For servers, we usually use the Intel Pro 100s...

If you are just getting it for home use, I would go with whatever is on special at your local computer store.

There sure is... what OS are you running? as that will make a bit difference on how to set it up.

OK everyone... I got a new firewall recently and thought I would drop by and give some initial impressions.

New hardware: SnapGear Lite, Linksys 8 port Hub.
Vendor: Provantage.

After coming here for some advice, I settled on the above hardware since the SnapGear was one of the less expensive ...

You actually can't "Upgrade" from ME to 2k because 2k came out before ME... So MS consideres ME an upgrade from 2k and the upgrade stuff won't work. Sorry, not the answer you wanted but it is a better way to do it.

OK... about the drive sharing. Open up Window's Exploorer -> Right click on the ...

Sure it is possible, but it would require a trip to Radio Shack (or another geek type shop) to get some speaker wire/adaptors/... stuff. I don't think you can do it with a computer network though. You basically need to plug the 5 computers into a speaker hub (for lack of a better term) and connect ...

Those 2 things are set up completely different. I am assuming that you don't have a router or anything like that and that the cable modem is connected directly to one of the computers? Well, you will need to do something called Internet Connection Sharing (at least that was the name prior to XP) in ...

I couldn't find anything on the MR314 specifically, but I am surprised that telnet didn't work. Just to make sure, you were on one of the systems at home (behind the router) and did telnet 192.168.0.1, then put in the admin password? (I am assuming that your router works like mine... might be a bad ...

As long as you are checking 2 different email accounts, there is no problem with that. The fact that you are on the same network has no bearing on what email you download, it is all related to what email account you set your client up to check. It would be something like your email client would ...

There are 2 steps to doing something like that. The first is to forward the port (like you have done). The second is to relax the firewall for that port. This part is best done through a telnet session.

I will let Netgear's Customer Service Site walk you through it at http://www.expressresponse.com ...

I still don't envy you and this project, but I am glad to hear it is going better than expected *knocks on wood*

Here is what I am looking at...

WatchGuard SOHO vs. SonicWall SOHO3

and

Linksys BEFSX41 vs. Netgear FVS318



The Linky and SonicWall have been mentioned as good products, but no other options were mentioned. The biggest problem I am having with the SonicWall SOHO is that it is a single port ...

If I had to guess... I would say someone tried a DoS attack on you.

*awaits the real answer*

Ouch! Don't think I can talk my wife into a $1400 firewall, and I'm not sure I want to. The baby likes to eat.

Well, good advice on isolating the public server from the rest of the LAN. Already done that and will continue to do so. I would love to be able to just do that with the same router that I get for the firwall instead of having to set up a software solution on the other computers though. And are the ...

What you will need to do is forward the ports that you need to the correct machine, the one that is hosting the web server. I don't know exactly how to set up port forwarding with the Linksys, but web traffic runs on port 80 by default. So you would want to forward port 80 traffic to your web server ...

What type (brand/model) of router are you using and have you checked to see if the appropriate ports are open?

What do you mean it doesn't show up? When you look at the network you see the computer and any printers, but not the C Drive? Check on what the shared name is, because by default it is C$. The $ makes it an administrative share that isn't shown on a network browse. 2 ways to fix this are to share it ...

Thanks for the help!


Make sure it is ISCA ceritified firewall. SPI is also very important if you're running public servers and are serious about security.


Will do!


The question is: are you looking for a faster, more capable version of what you have or do you want to take it to the next ...

Well, because it is going to be years (probably 10+) before you get a 10Mb line to your ...

I was kinda hoping for something in the $250 range, but like I said, I am willing to pay for quality. I will have a tough time selling the wife on a $500 router, though I will do it if I need to. I know this takes a bit more time, but why would you recomend what you do? And what features should I ...

Hello oh great and wise networking gurus. I have a question that only your excellency can answer. (think that is enough ego massaging?)

I currently have a fairly basic netgear NAT router (I forget the exact model number, but it is like 2 years old) and I am thinking about swapping that out for ...
