Wow, thanks for the input! Yes, I did mean SBS2011... I'm upgrading to Office 2010 and adding a 2008R2 server too, so my head is starting to spin! We're not running a huge or complex network. A dozen workstations behind the one Cisco router, over a T1. I've got the new server on the network...

I'm hoping for some guidance from the masters... Our network is behind a Cisco 881 router, which currently serves DHCP. I am about to upgrade our server to SBS2010, and I'm wondering if I should have that serve DHCP instead. I thought that made sense since it is also the DNS server for the...

I'm no IOS wizard, so I'm hoping someone can check me out on this and make sure I'm understanding what I need to do (or if this is even the correct approach!). I have a device (cellphone access point) that needs to expose 5 ports to the web. There is no need for the device to communicate with...

You are correct ISPKing, it works just fine! I also discovered that most (consumer) routers have VPN passthru enabled by default. I've tried it with several, and they were all plug and play. Sure made my install cleaner :)

I have a user that needs 24/7 access to our office network, so I set up an IPSEC VPN connection from her home (871 router in client-mode) to our 881 router at work. She has a cable modem with dynamic IP address. Thanks to lots of help from this forum, it works fine. Now that user is leaving the...

Excellent suggestion... I wonder if I can do that over the vpn connection - never tried it. (I have Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery for images, which runs on a server and images clients using an agent). Would I accomplish the same thing just doing a backup of the Users folder? Of course...

Oh yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the cached domain profile was left intact - Hey, does the un-join operation ask you if you want to keep it or not??? Either way, as long as it leaves the original local profile alone, I'll be happy (or at least employed LOL)

Hi linney, thanks for the response. I think maybe you've got the wrong idea, or I'm not understanding... so I'll go into a bit more detail. When we started out, the boss had a Win 7 Premium machine for home use, set up with all of her personal settings, email accounts, and personal-use...

Thanks for the reply Ben! Have a star! This was my first foray into using Win 7 on a domain, and I can't even remember the last time I demoted an XP domain member to Workgroup, so I wasn't sure what would happen to the local profile. I'd be red-faced and VERY unpopular if I lost the boss's...

Before I do this, I'm hoping to find out if there are any caveats I should be aware of when un-joining a Windows 7 machine from our SBS 2000 domain. This machine is the personal home computer of one of our company officers, which I am setting up for VPN access to domain resources. After setting...

OK, here's the solution, courtesy of unclerico's answer in thread557-1590008 - here's your star! When I created the NAT with CCP, it created the lines: ip nat inside source list 1 interface FastEthernet4 overload . . . access-list 1 remark INSIDE_IF=Vlan1 access-list 1 remark CCP_ACL...

It seems like this must be a NAT issue, but I can't seem to get it right. I currently have a Cisco 871 router configured as an Easy VPN server at the main office, and a Cisco 851 at a remote site operating in Client mode. I'm replacing the 871 with a new 881 with IOS 15.0, and setting it up...

Well, at least that means that we're not crazy! [party] 12.8 MB I can buy, but I wasn't even able to maintain 12.8 KB download speeds with Inspection on with the 12.4(4)T7 IOS. Are you using the same config? What I still don't understand is why neither of our routers had a problem until...

It's Wednesday morning now, and so far, so good! For the first time in a week the server has been up for more than 24 hours without crashing. The chkdsk results for the D:\ drive said: "Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap. Windows has made corrections to the file system", although it showed...

Well isn't this nifty! Just started the chkdsk /f /r of the D:\ volume as described above, to see if there are any bad blocks where the pagefile was located... and the RAID controller starts beeping away - failed drive! Fortunately I have a hot spare in the array, and it's rebuilding, but that...
