    Do we need a firewall with our satilite modem from direcway?

    actually, we all ready have the 2 way Direcway satilite installed as of Friday. Very fast, smoother than the 1 way I use at home (it was our only option here at the business, no dsl, no cable, line paired area so no 56k modem!!) They do plug it straight into the network hub from the modem...

    Do we need a firewall with our satilite modem from direcway?

    The rep that put it in said it was impossible to hack through the satilite modem unless something was first initiated by us. Im not sure that sounds right to me. Should I go out and buy a router that has a firewall built in? If I do, since the direcway modem is currently acting as a...

    Installed XP Pro but dont have Java????

    I lose. Somehow Win 2k server + SATA Raid + our business app= SLOW.

    Ill look into the HT on win 2k. If I dont like what I find I will disable it. Im pretty sure there will be NO hit on performance. Thanks for the info (and adding to my research tasks lol). sv650dave

    I lose. Somehow Win 2k server + SATA Raid + our business app= SLOW.

    FIXED FIXED!!! (at work now) I disabled hyperthreading and took out the Promise raid card. Reinstalled everything to the motherboards promise raid controller and everything worked fine (not counting some scumbag programing crud in the software that wasted 45 minutes). Turned...

    I lose. Somehow Win 2k server + SATA Raid + our business app= SLOW.

    We have a HP952c hooked directly up to the server and an HP laserjet 2300 on the network. I tried both. And I also tried it with no printer installed just in case that was the issue (Ive seen the HP drivers mess with I/O before).

    from SV650dave Im at work now, not that you care :) I will try off of the MB controller today. Yes hyperthreading is enabled! I considered that but never checked. Today before I change the drives to the MB I will disable hyperthreading in the bios and try. (wont that be interesting its...

    off topic Go dual (Xeon) processer on the server? or not?

    :) I wonder what kind of machine you could make with that, Dual Xeon (the fastest), some ocz tech super fast ram, like 2 gig, one of those $40000000 dollar video cards (well ok $415 bucks), Raid 0 with scsi 15,000 rpm drives, a case that glows in the dark and has enough RF to contact...

    oww, Franken Server! :) I must say though that Dells current line has some very attractive systems and prices though and even in the desktops they have options that will give a good system for the price, just maybe not the brand of componenet Im after. I think you guys are overestimating the...

    Not to say anything bad about Dell or HP but Im hesitant to buy machines that will have proprietary parts and software (pre-loaded customized OS stuff). Im not sure if its happens much today but in the past some of those pre-made boxes could not be upgraded and were even difficult to problem...

    Im not totally set on the ASUS board (I havent researched dual crud sufficiantly yet). Intel or Supermicro would be fine (just what does a dual supermicro server cost??? next years bonus?? lol) Im not sure the CEO is up to that level of processing power anyway... Might be a hard sell! "yea...

    Upgrade time! Do I need to buy new OS licenses or not :)

    we bought 4 retail boxes of Windows XP pro. The boxes can go with the computers if that helps :) I have heard that you have as many as 4 unquestioned activations for retail purchased software. Is that true? Does that cover us or am I skirting the issue. Is it on license for one box, one...

    Thanks for the quick reply (why am I always in a hurry at work???) The budget is unlimited (within reason!). A dual xeon set up would not break us. I just dont want to add any complexity to running the server. Nor do I want to add any INSTABILITY. The demand on the server is not likely to...

    Our server does practically nothing. Runs 4 other boxes based on only one business application (Business Works Gold 4.0). It will be replaced. It will be running Win 2000 server. It will have a SATA raid drive set up. Would we see benifite from the 2 CPU set up or is it just a headache...

    We are yet again jumping into the flames of office computer heck. I will be replacing our current 5 computer set up. 4 of the machines we will give away. Can we give them away with the XP pro still on them? Can we keep the XP pro and put it on the new machine? If we format the give away...

    Raid, Norton Ghost and one missed possibility= HELP :)

    Ok, got the raid going (for those that remember and are curious I went with an IDE raid and drives that were the same as our old drives). Cloned the current boot drive (C:) to the Raid (G:) then found out I could not swap the drive letters in win 2k server because the "system" drive is not...

    Raid, I need help deciding how to migrate to a raid set up.

    my main worry is that is that getting the RAID going will be cake but that, in the end, the only real "right" way to finish will be to bring the system up "fresh". Im not a trained IT guy so I make this up as I go (Im the Office Manager/Shipping Manager). Installing and configuring Windows...

    mcveigh Im not product specific. I am looking at all the options right now with the main goal being FOOLPROOF with EASY as a close second. I will look at the 3ware controllers too before I actually spend the money. The Raptor drives are plenty for us but they only come in 36 gig so im...

    Smilin, He said no problem with the mortage, just email him at ebola@scamsRus.com :) mcveigh, The end result should be a RAID 1 array using the two Raptor drives with the image taken from the IBM 60 gig (I looked, it has 2.3 gig of stuff on it). Man, we just use up the space dont we! It...

    pardon the 24hr delay (luckily I get to leave work occasionally)! I did a lot of reading yesterday (the manuals for the TX2plus as noted by a kind soul above) and I can only find one possible problem (that I cant fix in advance). Promise says the reason they dont recommend using Ghost to...

    Thank you all for your time! I really appreciate it! I think I have a handle on this...

    Raid, I need help deciding how to migrate to a raid set up.

    Thanks! I was hoping it would be that easy. Last thing. The raid card I am looking at only has 4 SATA channals. However, the card "below" it has 2 SATA channels and one ATA channal. Are the IDE channels on the MB disabled once the RAID card is "enabled" or will I have access to both...

    Raid, I need help deciding how to migrate to a raid set up.

    Sherrif, was that all done in the "bios" for the raid controller (dos??) or did you have to boot off of the old IDE drive into the Op sys (like win XP or 2k) to do it? Or does the "ghost" program run off of a floppy or something? hmm, I guess what Im really getting at is will I be able to do...

    Raid, I need help deciding how to migrate to a raid set up.

    Our current main drive is getting flaky so we have decided to migrate to a raid 1 set up. Our main problem is that it would be very inconveinient if we had to re-install the op sys and all of our business software (win 2k server and BW Gold). If I buy a Promise s150 TX4 (serial ata), Is there...

    How do I check for "cpu throttling" in Win 2k server?

    Because of our 28.8 super slow mo connection I have to do the update piecemeal. I still have a couple of files left to go on the critical updates. I ran perfmon on both a client and the server and could not see a single instance of the server being overwhelmed. The only time anything was...

    How do I check for "cpu throttling" in Win 2k server?

    Pervasive SQL was part of the Client/Server package from Best, no way to opt out. Yes we have BW Gold service too. I will run perfmon (isnt he one of the Marvel Comics Fantastic Four??) and see if that helps. As far as I know, our entire network is fast ethernet and capable of running 100mps...

    How do I check for "cpu throttling" in Win 2k server?

    I just got the server and lan up and running. The new software that we upgraded for seems to run a tad slower than I expected. How can I check in windows 2000 server that the application is getting all the cpu time that it needs (and other resources for that matter). We only have one...

    XP Pro and HP Deskjet printers. Odd stuff going on!

    XP Pro and HP Deskjet printers. Odd stuff going on!
