lol, I've just added a rack mount w2k3 machine off the netgear switch. and now the netgear switch is disjoint from the rest of my network so i have 2 separate networks :D

please explain har har... total reliance on mods how? its the same as any other software, it does what it was designed to do and if you need more functionality then yea you need mods. I run my site without mods and i have no problems. Admin section seems pritty darn good to me... bit complicated but its a hell of alot better then phpbb2.. i haven't seen the admin side of smf but how does it compare to phpbb3?

PPHBB 3 RC1 has been released heres the announcement http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.p...f4def3ca850ab9a I've already upgraded my forums: http://forum.networkfu.org

:D

servers at my work. will try to get some better pics tomorrow in the office in the data centre. new nas :D

you can use wget to download the everything on the site. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-Service...ring-With-wget/ shows you how to do it

i'll be there in spirit. travelling from australia to there is a bit much (and pricey) take heaps of pics and get info so us that cant make it can see all the good stuff

sounds kool. But I imagine if you waited for phpbb3 (as im doing for my own site) you'll probably find most things you need will be included in that release. but thats just me :D

i could test (but can't help develop) btw any reason your moving away from phpbb?

yea not a huge amount for ccna in aus. My advice once you go for a job as a sysadmin don't work anywhere where microsoft is the main OS for desktop/servers. seriously the company i work for (my role really is a mix of sysadmin/network admin) is a microsoft gold partner, and i'm seriously fed up with there pathetic products. I'm probably being a bit aggressive right now, seeing how its 9:30 at night and i just installed the second daylight savings patch since I've been with the company, and well now our production dataserver/crm server is not coming back up. *Y A Y*. In regards to your questions about the sysadmin role, well i work in a team of 4, one customer support girl (she takes all the calls) and 3 sysadmin/network admins. Most of our time is dedicated to updating prodcution websites, handling support requests and fixing server issues.

noobtacular. lol jks

kool, glad to here its fixed

you have unused dedicated servers :S are you rich or something?

interesting. if there being re-added exactly an hour after you remove them i would suspect some program is doing it. check to see what processes are running etc and look for anything that does not look normal. also check event logs all tha usual stuff.

route print is a windows command line tool to show the current routing table and add/remove routes etc. like the route command in Linux. seems weird that routes would be adding themselves. you say from the same subnet so its not the same routes each time? and when are they re-added? after a reboot? restarting a program?

like some other people have mentioned, its all your preference's and you need to find one that suites your needs and likes. i myself use ubuntu and i really like it. but one i will suggest is the next release of fedora, fedora 7. it will be bleeding edge and i will defiantly be installing that on my other pc.

centos, is good. run squid proxy server, iptables firewall, email check out scalix community edition if it needs to be free, openvpn for the vpn, nfs or samba for the user shares you can control the Internet access via squid acl's, or if this box will be the gateway for the network just add a deny rule in the firewall for those pc's. you could also use ubuntu server

lol, yea thats the whole point. The person is on the same LAN/domain as me. sorry if i wasn't clear, internal to me means same LAN and domain.

thanks for the replies guys. If i right click an internal email and go options the headers box is completely empty. I do have access to the exchange server so I'll check out what you suggested

We run just plain ol iptables at my work. I'd tell you the OS but you know, cant have everyone knowing what it is lol. I've tried ipcop, sentry and all those sorta ones, but it's all user preference. I prefer to write the iptables, rather then say use a web gui to do it for me.

lol, yea i imagine if i watched my tcp/ip traffic it would have destination ip of the mail server. not the end user. plus i don't want to see it when i send the email, i want to see the ip of the user that sends it to me.

normally yea, but in does not seem to in office 2007. could just be that outlook doesn't show it? it shows the mail headers from external hosts but not from internal.

Does anybody know how to trace an email from an internal LAN user, e.g. where both on the same LAN and the email routes through an exchange 2003 server. I'd like to be able to see the originating client IP.

this is what mine looks like pretty much. https://linux.dnsdojo.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=509
