I have always used APC (American Power Conversion) for my small installs (servers, networking equipment, etc).... If you are looking at doing a whole computer room, then look at somebody like powerwave. -=Andy

Keep anything that can be wired, wired.... Especially a server. I would also keep the printer wired if you already have the wire run. As far as how to connect everything, just connect your Cisco 1100(s) (what I would recommend), to your router/switch. As far as planning, if this were a residential single story environment, I would plan on 1 access point

You can also download Cisco's TFTP server, and do the upgrade that way..... Gives you a few more troubleshooting messages along the way... Expect it to give transfer errors, but hold on... As far as the error you are describing, I have seen similar results when using Netscape to do the upgrade.... Anyway, try tftp from the web interface. -=Andy

Make sure you have the correct SSID and WEP password if they are enabled - I have seen some APs allow you to associate, but with the wrong passwd it won't actually pass any packets. -=Andy

The latest firmware is in c1100-k9w7-tar.123-2.JA2.tar ... I usually prefer to upgrade the APs through a TFTP server, but you can also use the file upload feature... Make sure you do the following. 1. Hardwire connection to your network from your upgrade platform. 2. Use Internet Explorer with block pop-ups turned off. 3. Go to the software upgrade

PLW321 I have used a lot of 1100 and 1200 access points, and I would recommend the 1100 over the 1200, as I have had better reliability out of them. The number of access points, you need depends on the size of your building, and what sort of coverage you want to provide... If it is in the budget, get at least two, so that you can have a hot spare on

It is very doable.... Key is to get a proper antenna designed for the application. I wouldn't try to retrofit something. Since you are in Australia and like D-Link, check out this Link . -=Andy

Yes.... You are going to want to "stripe the drives".... In normal striping you would join drives of the same size... Since these are different sizes, you will want to create partitions on the bigger drives, equal to the size of the smallest drive. You then use the disk manager to join them together as a stripe... Bummer is that if one partition fails

Here is good reference for Password Recovery ... There are several freeware password recovery tools out there that run under Linux boot disks etc.... They allow you to reset the password to a new one. -=Andy

I wish it were just a bad dream....... Unfortunately MS has done a great job of pushing their ISA Server , and we have had a lot of clients who we have walked into their server rooms to find that they are running ISA... My partner usually handles these, as I go off and mutter something about Cisco or a "Hardware solution for a hardware problem". The
