    Outlook won't restore to a smaller window! Driving me nuts....

    After you select Move press any arrow key before moving the mouse. Now move the mouse and the window should follow it.

    Hyper-V and SBS: Noob Networking Advice

    Each system needs a gateway that is on a matching subnet. Config the port forwarding as though they were 2 seperate Sonic boxes. Where there is a conflict because 2 systems want the same incoming port (e.g. RDP) then decide which system gets the default and remap the other to accept a...

    Hyper-V and SBS: Noob Networking Advice

    Crunchers, you're getting too hung up on the fact you're using VMs. Since all the WAN communication is via IP, all the config on the Sonicwall is based on the IP you assign within the SBS i.e. exactly the same as if it were a dedicated box. If you want to have multiple subnets, then you...

    Anybody ditched tapes completely/cheap array recommendations?

    IMO D2D still has gaping holes for anyone smaller than enterprise with lots of sites (more than 3 anyway). For smaller organisations, tape gives enough flexibility to workaround many issues. - How will you deal with long-term archives? - If the DR building is on the same site as primary then...

    Secondary internal network

    I'm not sure what the second router is for if that subnet has no access to another subnet? If you want certain devices to be blocked to/from certain other devices then I'd suggest a smart (or managed) switch and enable port-based VLANs. The beauty of this is that all devices can stay on the same...

    LogMeIn + Wake-On-LAN

    Having thought about the potential issues more I had a quick read and it seems LogMeIn only support WoL when there is another remotable system already on, within the LAN. This means that you don't need to worry about port forwarding through the router and finding your current dynamic IP, but of...

    LogMeIn + Wake-On-LAN

    Besides BIOS, WoL (or "Allow this device to wake computer) needs to also be set in the NIC properties in the OS.

    Small footprint keyboard

    Keysonic do a few that might suit, but I think the smallest ones are basically laptop keyboards so not full height keycaps.

    Strange Network Issue - Can't Connect to Anything on Network

    When you say you can't ping anything on the network, is this via IP address or name? Also is the share served from another Win machine or is it a NAS device? Anyway, at a guess maybe check the network binding order has the adaptor you are using set as highest priority. (Network Connections ->...

    Confusion! DIR-855 for streaming movies!

    Much better to have the wired devices on Powerline to preserve the wifi bandwidth where possible. Bizarrely I can't see any ADSL routers with simultaneous dual-band N from the well known brands. Do you know if your laptops actually support dual-band (i.e. 5GHz)? If not then there are plenty of...

    Noob Question about Ram

    On the whole yes, but check the clock speed of the RAM and board are within range of each other.

    Will my PSU cope

    300W 5970 120W 9600GSO 130W i7 920 =550W maxed Allowing for the other components and extra draw due to the overclocks I think you'll be too close to your PSU's max if you push the system regularly.

    netgear n150 wireless cable router

    I thought that model doesn't support QoS (see their G/N150/N300 comparison table)

    Network design for a home renovation.

    Liking the latest revision much more. For the NICs, as stated you don't need to have bonding to utilise both. The left-hand devices can simply get to the NAS via 192.168.1.1 and the right-hand via xxx.2 and despite sharing the same subnet, the traffic will travel via the correct NIC. Also note...

    Confusion! DIR-855 for streaming movies!

    No you need an ADSL modem to communicate with your ISP, which the Netgear and Sky have built in, but the Dlink doesn't. You could buy a separate ADSL ethernet modem which would let you use the Dlink for routing, but besides the cost would still occupy 2 sockets e.g. DLink DSL-320B. This type of...

    Network design for a home renovation.

    Wow, quite a lot to discuss. You would be using port-based VLANs, whereby each port can be a member of more than one VLAN at a time. You would assign the NAS ports 23/24 to be members of both VLAN A and VLAN B. This would allow communication between e.g. 1->23 and 12->23, but not 1->12. The...

    Confusion! DIR-855 for streaming movies!

    Downside of using just the LAN ports is that you are not using the router part of the Dlink which is probably better featured (port forwarding/SPI/QoS) than your Netgear. The wifi will work irrespective of whether there are connections to the LAN or WAN. Not sure what you mean by this?

    Cat6 cables and Cat5e devices.

    If you were just doing a couple of runs round the skirting then I'd say to use 5e, but if you're renovating, then I guess the cables will be "decorated in" so 6a makes more sense, pref with some redundant runs. It's not worth saving £100 on a roll of cable, which will be a great deal of hassle...

    Raid 0?

    For disk intensive apps like video editing you may find that keeping the disks independant works better for you e.g. one disk for the reading source files, one for writing the output. That way each disk can spend more time on sequential access rather than the heads having to jump all over the...
