I now have a large number of remote users that are using a Check Point Secure Client VPN connection into the office. These users also need access to network resources attached to their local router/hub (network storage and network printer). Is there any way that the client (Windows 7 or XP) can be configured to bypass the VPN for local addresses…
EDIT: Okay, so I've no idea what caused the change, but after trying loads of different things to work out what was wrong, I've rerun the WEI (about the 4th time in total) and the score has jumped to a far more respectable 7.3. I'm going to leave well alone now :)
I've got a brand new 256GB SSD (Crucial CT256M225) which should have stellar…
Being the evil corporate IT overlords we need to block the new OS X App Store. As you may be aware the 10.6.6 update installs the App Store App which allows users to download and install apps without admin privileges.
Some Suggestions:
Don't update to 10.6.6+
Use parental controls
Presumably some OD policy (if you have an OD server which…
What is the most useful USB hub that you have had experience with.
I have a Seagate FreeAgent Go that is powered by USB and I want to get a USB hub that is able to provide me with more USB ports and can power my harddrive.
I have a Lexmark E250d printer attached to a Thecus N2100 NAS.
On Windows Vista I've managed to configure this using an "Internet" printer port with the URL of http://thecus:631/printers/usb-printer. I can add a printer in a similar way in Windows 7, but it never manages to print the test page.
If I go to "Configure Port" in Vista, it just…
I'm trying to svn co to a directory on Ubuntu, shared via samba, to OS X, but I get the following error (in OS X).

Can this be done?
Two organisations, complete separate domains and exchange servers.
Do I need a AD trust?
Can data be shared over HTTP or does it require a VPN connection?
One Org will have an Exchange 2010 server, the other 2007.
I would like to setup a central Mecurial repository on a Windows 2008 server which only allows both push and pull access to certain users. This is to allow developers working remotely to push/pull changes through the central repository while working remotely.
We are a large organization with thousands of users, and we're peaking on our Internet usage. Many of those users are streaming music while they work. We're wondering if providing a music streaming server internally would help on bandwidth.
How legal is that? Here are two scenarios:
1) We purchase a body of music legally and…
I'm looking for a tool that will allow multiple panels to be visible while looking at the local file system, so that I can copy/move files easily between the panels.
I have been using 7-zip, since you can view 2 panels at once, but I feels as if there is something better out there.
What are the top recommendations?

Two days ago, I started running into a problem with my Windows PC:
The PC's two connected monitors simultaneously lose signal and go black (as though the PC had been powered off).
The keyboard's Numlock, Capslock, and Scroll Lights will become "stuck" in their current positions, as though the PC is hung. (For example, the…
I've been having a crack at using fields in Word 2007 and have hit a slight stumbling block. I want to add a field which I can use in several parts of the document to represent the current version (something of the form v0.1 but I can't see an obvious way to do it).
The only provision I've found for this is something called…

We've been using Netmeeting for doing presentations with remote workers. Now that MS has disowned it (and it doesn't run on Vista - mostly), we need something else. Since Netmeeting was free, our budget is right around $0. We don't need audio or video, but do need to share apps/desktop and allow a remote user to take…
Pretty simple: I need a way to convert special characters like curly quotes, ellipses, etc to their "plain text" version, i.e. … to ..., “ to ".
This is on OSX, meaning I can't use a macro in Microsoft word to do this as I have on a PC.
This is for a plain-text email, not HTML, which is why I need them in this…
I have just dedicated a computer to my living room TV, to watch Hulu, movies, etc. You can think of it as a Media Center TV but I hardly use Media Center itself.
I'm looking for a good keyboard / mouse combo that is well suited for this environment. Something that has long range as well.
I am trying to open an additional mailbox in Outlook 2003 for one of my users. She already has three additional mailboxes in the list (found in the advanced account settings), and these work fine. When I click the "Add..." button, it immediately reports:

I have two Google accounts. One GMail account that I use for personal stuff and one hosted domain that I use for business.
My Google Profile is linked to my Gmail account - is it possible to associate it with my business account?

Over the years, I've had to throw away a quite a few bits of computing equipment (and the like):
Several ADSL routers with odd symptoms (losing wireless connections, losing wired connections, DHCP failures, DNS symptoms etc)
Two PVRs spontaneously rebooting and corrupting themselves (despite the best efforts…
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but I'm sure this is a simple fix. I setup WHM/cPanel for the first time on my VPS and understand how DNS works for the most part (or so I thought).
I created under the main domain name 2 nameservers (ns1.maindomain.com & ns2.maindomain.com). I have 2 IP address…
The setup:

I've got a general query regarding the location of the hosts file on Windows. It resides at this location:
f:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
My question is why? Could Microsoft have picked a more obscure location for a hosts file?
