The products are virtually identical, however the 10.2 is Vista compatible. 10.0 is not. Incidentally, the 10.2 CD comes with 10.1 for XP. Although you are probably not at severe risk, 10.1 fixes a security hole left in 10.0 that can be used to comprimise a computer.

Don't sweat the firewall. You don't need to disable it. You can install on the client side by popping the Symantec CD into the XP machine and following the client install prompts. It will ask you for 'managed' or 'unmanaged'. Select 'Managed' and put in the host name of the AV server. Then follow the prompts to complete

What is 'Secure enough'? That highly subjective term could mean 5 different things to 5 different users. If the goal here is to educate, then you should not abridge your post for the sake of brevity. What may be 'secure enough' for you may not be for someone else. I find it ludicrous you would suggest to anyone to only take half-measures

It's important to note that even secure wireless connections are inherently insecure, but taking the following steps can make it extremely difficult to connect to a wireless network. Make sure you have a patch cable handy to get into the router setup, because if you mess up, you won't be able to get back in without it. First, MAC filtering will

I don't think Incubator's opinion is all that far from the truth, however his choice of words makes him appear on the extreme, thus has elicited responses from the other extreme. Techsoup has certainly evolved, and like any other ambitious programs, begins to stray from its roots as it grows. Don't let the moniker 'non-profit' blind

If the machine is showing an APIPA address, then either the router is not handing one out, the machine is not receiving the reply, or DHCP client is not enabled on the laptop. Working off the assumption you configured everything properly, I would assume that your card is not receiving signal. Are you running encryption? MAC filtering? Things to look

You should probably go armed with a little more information. First off, there are 3 different standards, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. 802.11g and 802.11b operate at the 2.4 Ghz range. (802.11g is faster than 802.11b, and with a greater range) 802.11a operates at 5 Ghz range, above most current portable phones. Although 802.11g boasts faster speeds

Although I don't think the aggressive posture incubator has taken is conducive to actually making a change, I believe his questioning the end-user value in administrative fees is valid. Although I have never questioned the comparatively small fee, some may find it still to be cost prohibitive. Perhaps TechSoup should setup a giving program of its

I have 10 unused Office XP licenses that I would like to transfer to some of my employees as gifts. The EULA addendum seems a little vague regarding ransferring the license itself, and rather stated that my rights and additional copies cannot be transferred. These were purchased from Techsoup prior to the open license, and so appear and act like retail

I bought 11 MS Office XP licenses in July of 2002 from Techsoup. These appear to be retail licenses, with 11 individual product keys. I later bought another 10 Office XP licenses under the e-open licensing scheme. Is it possible to roll the first 11 retail licenses into the e-open licensing plan?
