I have been using the old standard networking devices for years, 10/100 over CAT5 with Walmart off-the-shelf routers. Let's say I want to speed my network overall. I notice there are many systems and routers offering ten times that speed over wired and WiFi.I'm primarily interested in wired.

Any quick breakdown on the differences between some Network Management software titles. I dont know when you would use each one or what the limitations are of each. [code] I have been looking over the release notes for each product trying to draw some conclusion on which titles support or dont support certain products.
When you would use each and if there are any gotchas or limits to watch out for? It looks like Prime is a paid for product but will any of the free solutions (CNA, CCP, CCA) work with all enterprise level products (2950, 2960, 3560, 3750, 4948, 4900 4500 switches and 1800, 1900, 2800, 2900, 3800, 3900 routers) or do you have to use Prime to get a product that will mange these devices?
I have an older Dell laptop (Inspiron 4150: 10+ years old) and it has an onboard 3com 10/100 ethernet adapter. I recently switched to a Doccis 3.0 modem from Comcast and the laptop doesn't seem to get along with it too well. Are there any options for me to be able to get a Gigabit ethernet adapter for this older laptop? As far as the expansion slots go, the laptop has a Cardbus controller (Texas Instruements 1420 Cardbus controller) and as far as the PC Card connectors go, it has 2(supports 2 Type I or II cards or 1 Type III card with the PCMCIA being 16 bits and the Cardbus being 32 bits).
Is there such thing as a Gigabit ethernet pc card that this laptop would support? If not, what other options are there?
I have a hobby network at home, the structure of which follows:*Modem * - active SPI firewall -- Then the E4200 distributes data via wifi to/between the following machines --*Server - providing services such as http, FTP, VPN, Mail, MySQL, OpenDirectory, Plex media server, etc.*Two other workstations that access their user details/settings from open directory on the server.Now the purpose of this network other than providing standard access to Internet services from within the LAN is to provide access to the services maintained on my server to users on my LAN when they leave it/go mobile.Now with my limited knowledge of networking I have been using port forwarding to direct service requests through the firewall, however I have found with the E4200 that I have a limited number of custom port fields to use (about 15) which is extremely limiting when I have as many potential services that my server can provide.I could move the Server to a DMZ but then dosen't that put all my other services that have no need to be exposed at unnecessary risk.Do I need to invest in a separate hardware firewall and put it after the modem and before the router?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just recently got out of school and started my first job in the IT field. I'm at a small company and part of a 2-man IT team.One of our current projects is to look into upgrading our software based firewall (ClearOS free version) for a better hardware one. I was wondering what would be some good options?Our company has around 120 users that access our network. We have one 10Mbps internet line that comes to our head office, and is then shared with our six other branches. We're hoping to just get one device we put at our head office.some of the nicer features we'd like are AD integration, usage reports by user, easy to use interface, spam-filtering, and ability to block specific applications on websites (eg, only chat on Facebook).

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo my router, the "Siemens Gigaset SE567", doesn't seem to want to allow me to access the router page.
Everywhere I've looked online tell me that the IP is http://192.168.1.254/ and default PW "default" and "telus". But no matter how many times I reset the router...going to http://192.168.1.254/ loads nothing.
The router SAYS Gigaset SE567 on it, and looks identical to the one in the picture...so theres no mistaking it for another router.
I brought a friend's computer home, thinking I could solve her problem but I'm at my wit's end. I cannot open Internet Explorer and Internet Options does not open from Control Panel. I followed other suggestions I found on your forum and on the net but nothing works. I cannot access the internet in any way (on that computer) and therefore cannot even supply you with a HiJack file. I tried several restore points and the only malware pgm on that computer is MalmareBytes (which found nothing). I cannot even run a anti-virus scan because that is no longer running - which is the reason I brougth her computer to my house in the first place. After several attempts of trying to open IE some times it stays open for a few seconds but most times it just flashes, then closes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedISP has recently announced that they are going to start charging $1 for every GB that their customers go over their monthly limit. i have a 100GB/mo package and i figure that's sufficient for my habits which consist of approx 40GB of torrents, a bit of skyping, bit of browsing, etc. my ISP makes usage graphs available online, when i checked earlier last month to confirm i'm staying under my 100GB limit the graphs said over the past 12 months the highest i topped was 90GB, usually in the 70's. pretty much what i expected. but when i check their usage graphs again recently it says i've been using over 400GB for the past 3 months straight (as far back as the new graphs go). i call BS and find it very suspicious that my internet usage magically quadruples the same time my ISP wants to start charging for overusage, especially retro-active.
anyhoo, i want to somehow monitor my internet traffic usage independently but i'm not sure the best way to go about it.my home network is the typical modem -> router -> LAN.my router is a new netgear wndr3700, it has a traffic meter built in, but considering it's only forms of notification is cutting the internet off altogether or changing a green blinking LED to and orange blinking LED when the defined limit is reached, it's kinda useless. i just got it a couple months ago too, so buying a new router with better traffic monitoring isn't an option.i could put a net meter on each and every computer i have, then sum up their usage stats, but that would be a pain in the ass and wouldn't take my PS3 or WDTV media player into account, as little as they're used online.my prefered solution is to use an old laptop i hardly touch anymore and set it up as a gateway and share the internet connection or make it a proxy server. that way i could set up a net meter on just the one NIC on that to track my internet usage. modem -> laptop -> router -> LAN. the problem i have hear is forwarding ports from one NIC to the other so they can then get ditributed by the router, never tried this before, not sure how to go about it. right now it has XP home, but i can put 7 on it if that's better to work with.
I'm putting together a design for a new office with the following requirements:
10 VPN users.For Ethernet – 24 ports POE 10/100/1000
Probably go with VZ FIOS so EthernetAbout 2000 square feet so 2 WAP's should do it I'm thinking a CISCO881W-GN-A-K9 ISR with a SRW224G4P-K9-NA switch should do the trick. This will give me an integrated AP but I need a second one. Do I need to order an autonomous one or does the 881W do some sort of WLC function?
I was pondering on getting a certificate fro ma public CA to maintain easier configuration for end users. There will be a multitude of devices on this wireless network configured with 802.1x PEAP. (iPhones, iPADs, Droids, and PC's of course).
If you were to get a certificate from a public CA, I'm assuming this would be just a regular server certificate from GoDaddy, or Verisgn?
in permenantly removing the "private browsing" option in the new Mozilla FireFox internet. I use Windows Vista for home computer and obviously Mozilla FireFox for internet usage. I am not good with too many computer terms, the more basic the better. I've seen other places discuss how to remove it completely, have it not be an option, from Internet Explorer but not Mozilla. I have children in the home that I don't want to have access to it. Just easier for our situation to not have it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave 2 office locales. Currently have a Site to Site VPN over the public domain with 1 T-1 line on each side (different carriers). The performance is _poor_. A 2MB Excel file takes over 1 minute to open at the remote location (takes less than 10 seconds at primary location).Have approximately 20 users at the remote location (about 200 miles away); entry level firewalls; and primarily only work with MS Office files.
1) What are the differences between "Private Ethernet", "MPLS VPN", "Point to Point T-1s", and just old fashion Site to Site VPN? and is there one in particular we should focus on given we only have 2 offices?
2) Do we simply just need to increase our pipes on both sides from T-1s to 2 T-1s or a 10/10 IDE line to make our S2S VPN acceptable?
3) Is all that's really needed for P2P T-1s is to have the same carrier at both locations (this is available)? Do we still need VPN or if it's all over the same carrier it is secure?
4) If we go with Private Ethernet or Point to Point T-1s, would we then need another pipe to just get to the internet?
which option do you think is better? The idea is to use them as the core of the network,to route between several VLANs.
Options:
1 - Two 3560 with HSRP
2 - Two 3750 stacked with cross-stack etherchannel to the access switches
Currently i have my wired router connected to my modem, with three desktops connected to it. I just purchased a laptop, and would like to be able to get internet on it, my question is what are my options to get internet on my laptop [wireless] yet still keep the wired connections on the desktops as is? And if thats not an option what would be the easiest solution?My laptop has a built in built-in LAN (802.11n), built-in 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector for quick and easy wired Web connection.

The business i work for uses a "Do it myself" template for their website. (this is through their webhosting company). I can not add FTP to this website, we have to completely redo it with code and whatnot in order to have access to FTP. We would like users to download a template from our website (no problem) and then send us their artwork files back to us. These can be upwards of 150mb. Is there another option that i am not aware of to do this? Can't use email, has a limit of 25mb.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a lab and simulating a scenario that I will have to implement into production in the future. I am trying to setup a Guest SSID on a WLC (5508). This Guest SSID is to display the a set of Terms & Conditions, which then a user is to accept and then they move forward onto having access to the guest network.
I am familiar with performing this step using WebAuth, but it seems like the T&C are extremely long. The WebAuth page comes back with a "text exceeded limitation", on top of that I do notice that I would have to have a username and password.
Is there a feature in the WLC that would allow this scenario to work? Or will I have to build or download a customized WebAuth page?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to work with a friend set up his wireless router. He had the Geeksquad come and set it up and I have no idea what they did. A mess of wires. I noticed that I was able to log into the imbeded browser of the modem and the router from the main PC. I didn't think it was possible to log into the modem if it was set up in bridged ethernet mode. His internet is working but I was thinking that he may have problems with double NATing.Basically, I just want to know what options there are for setting up a router to a modem. I'm aware of bridged mode and setting up the router as a switch (not real knowledgable of this one). Seems like DHCP is enabled on both devices.

Frequency: 30 seconds Data Size: 28 bytes
Threshold: 3000 milliseconds Tos: 0
Time out: 3000 milliseconds Number of Packets: 8

I'm not sure if the setting is so sensitive that the secondary static route begins to work right away, even when some small link flappings occur. What is the best practice to set those parameters up in the production environment. How can we specify the reasonanble monitoring options to fit our needs.
