Thank you so much for your input. We often have requests for file recovery often (mainly from my boss), so I try to oblige that for now, some day I will put an end to it (Maybe after my next raise :-)) Our needs are odd for sure. For a small office we have alot of data and it changes fairly often (GIS Data). I wasn't trying to be critical about

Thpwt you raise a good point about the peer network, unfortunatly we are a public non-profit but we do not have 501c3 status and thus we are not elegible for techsoup discounts, though we have the tiny budget most nonprofits suffer from. Also, we don't have a fulltime IT staff. Although I have worked as an IT person in a large environment, I am

I don't see alot here about backups and backup schemes. In fact in my searching I have found much about backup schemes on the web. In my situation we are a small shop (20 machines, 15 Users, in a peer network), however we have alot of data 400+Gb. It is somewhat critical to have at least a differential backup everynight for us. As for servers, I

My guess is the wireless card got killed somehow. I would try the Cat5 jack to see if it works. Then try a PCMCIA or USB wireless network card. Good Luck

OK everyone, hoping for some help from the fine minds here. We have a small network , we are a non-profit but not a 501c3. So I most likely will not qualify for the Techsoup Stock. Our Requirements: 1.) Firewall 2.) VPN Ability 3.) Internal LAN routing Our Setup: 1.) 20 machines, 2 fileservers 2.) 1 DSL Static IP We are running it all on a Linksys wrv54g

I am also a GIS person, and fortunatly the IT guys too. As you stated GIS is tough when it's not on a local network, there is too much data transfer. We have tried VPNs to do this, and my upload pipe is a 768 and it doesn't cut it. I recently had to setup a GIS server and move our GIS data away from our VPN server, so I am working on a way to

Thanks, Mike, I am aware it;s not setup in a bad way per se, I just feel that maybe I need to conform in an effort to increase my abilities as times change. I guess I see that somehow this will turn into a domained network in a few years. Dave, I agree with the need for a little visability as possible. Part of what we do here is GIS. GIS is a VERY data

No, We found a multi-platform group ware solution that is not exchange.

Hey all I have a small office (15 computers). We started as a peer-to-peer setup and have never really left that formula. We have our "server" running win 2k Server edition, and has a raid drive setup to serve all of our data. At this point we are running a VPN, FTP server, with it. I also have a mail server on another stand alone box. We are not running

I would say despite you having seen a celeron 2.50 running bf42 fine, your celeron is what is killing you. A celeron is not made to support any real advanced gaming. Battlefield taxes hardware pretty hard. For more suggestions I might suggest you go try the hardware forums at planetbattlefield.com.
