    Mail merge is a pain

    Hi folks, Dropping this into the exchange forum as that seems like the best place. We're using exchange 2010 We're running mail merge from word with excel lists and producing emails which are fine and that process is working ok. However the emails send immediately. In the end I created a fake...

    Cisco VPN - Can't see anything

    Just a few suggestion to get you started. Check whether this is DNS related. Can you access the systems using just their IP addresses. If so you should check into the way DNS services run. e.g. \\172.168.1.1 at the run box does it connect and give authentication. Remote desktop to an IP, does...

    Help Choosing VPN

    Hi Peter, Afraid you've misunderstood what the vpn can do for you. The restrictions you mention are going to be a result of controls on the work network that you are connecting to. Changing the type of vpn isn't go to do anything about those restrictions. The question should be 'what can you...

    Gateway Problem

    Check on the systems with ipconfig /all and confirm on one 'working' and one 'non-working' system that they show the same IP for the DHCP server. This is to see ..... Is it possible there's a server DHCP and a router DHCP both running but with different gateways configured? When IP addresses...

    DHCP problem at farmschool

    One thought I had.... What IP addresses are the client systems showing? 169.254.x.x addresses mean they can't contact the dhcp server Anything else and they're getting an address from somewhere. ipconfig /all will show the source dhcp server There's an outside chance the router has dhcp...

    How to setup VPN?

A site to site vpn exists between two sites who wish to be securely connected (usually branches of a single company) The site to site vpn means that when users in one site contact a...

    Any SAN file system supporting linux and windows

    Thanks for the update but the StorNext file system is specifically designed so it can support both Windows and red hat hosts with simultaneous mounting on the same LUN (at least according to StorNext tech support). But it costs about 2000 per server and there's 13 servers in total. I'd had a...

    Any SAN file system supporting linux and windows

    Hi and thanks for reading. We have a multipath fibre channel SAN which is being broken into 3 areas. One area is being used by Oracle (running on red hat) and this has its own file system so no problem there. The second area is used to store virtual machines and will be using VMWare VMFS...

    Cisco VPN client how to configure it to be used with SOHO routers

    I believe you will struggle to get the cisco vpn client working with non cisco routers. Part of the cisco vpn client config is to set up the RASVPNGROUP and password which matches against entries in the cisco configuration. This then supplies all the transform sets (method for authentication...

    Mail server listed in black list

    I'd start by asking the blacklisting service why you were blacklisted to begin with. That could provide a clue. I'd say the three most common genuine reasons for being listed are: 1. You have an open relay on your mail server (check your smtp settings in the exchange system manager/iis) to see...
