SF is still dead

It'd be worth checking whether DNS resolution is working though. Try nslookup http://www.google.co.uk from a cmd prompt. If not, check your Active Directory DNS server is set to use forwarders or the root servers and whether there are rules in place to allow that to happen through the firewall.

That's good, and how it should be. It'd be pretty daft to have a firewall in place which people didn't *have* to go through to get at the internet They'd just update their routing table and bypass the firewall if that was the case. I think you're on the money with the NAT rule up to now.

I haven't played with ISA much at all, but on the last installation I did (SBS 2003 prem), I had to create a NAT rule for the ISA box to actually do the masquerading. To be honest I found the whole system quite irritating. There were some things that I was much happier configuring directly through RRAS (VPN and Dial-up Interfaces), but ISA Server took over all that.

Or, are you saying that the ISA box is *just* a proxy? Do you have a separate router on the same subnet through which they should be able the access the internet directly?

and make sure the workstations can do DNS resolution too...

ugh. I dunno. You need to correctly set up your routing, so that the machines use the ISA box as their default gateway (in tcp/ip properties of the interface). Then you'll need to make sure that ISA has the NAT rule enabled, and then also make sure that there is a rule allowing the workstations to get out on port 80 (or service = http as I think they call it in ISA server)

I think so. They start like that then fail completely after a while. I had a Sony DSC-U20 which I really liked for rough and ready stuff (under-car pictures, engine pictures etc... didn't mind getting it dirty), and it failed. I'd replace it with another one from eBay if it wasn't for the fact that I know it'd fail sooner or later. http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1128958202.html http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html

Oh yeah. Didn't think of that

They'd have to know how to fix the airbag light afterwards though

Very nice. Looks like your camera has the dreaded Sony CCD fault.

Exchange 2003s help says:

You could do with a 2.5" -> 3.5" adapter cable so you can try the drive in a desktop PC. The message you quoted before is from the BIOS - so it's not finding the drive. That indicated that either the drive is fooked, or the controller, or the little edge-connector that they fit onto them, or something else on the same channel is fooked (CDROM drive ?) but most likely a dead drive

I think the 30-day thing is a user-set option, and it's not normally on by default. It's on the Private Information Store properties in ESM. "Keep deleted item for xx days" (tick box, and text box to type in how many days), and also "Keep deleted mailboxes for xx days". But it's not on by default. I've been here before though with a mailbox I set up for archiving all items sent/received by so the boss could snoop, and he didn't keep on top of the mailbox so it grew too large and the backup stopped working (later changed this to a public folder with a 14-day age-limit). You can force it to delete though, I just can't remember how I think after you have dis-associated it from an AD account, you can choose to purge. Or it might be like the log files - they're kept until a backup has been done. Google should help though.

oops. hard drives don't like being nudged whilst reading/writing

hi carlos so where did you get your aerial from? cheers baldy From the guy over in the USA who'll hopefully be supplying these ones.. The bracket is being done separately over here though hopefully thanks to Burna.

Sweet. Sounds good

Right guys. Pictures first. Shit quality as usual. As you can see, it's more of a strap than a bracket. All it does really is help to angle the aerial a little bit, and of course help keep it in place. It's very thin, say 1mm thick, and bendy. You can see where the paint flaked off as soon as I bent it. You can also see that only the second to last hole is required for the Supra. The piece is exactly 15mm wide. Hopefully this measurement will agree with your CAD drawings so that you can go ahead and have them made. edit: just checked your diagram, and it says 15.2mm, so that sounds good to me I notice you have no measurement for the square hole at the top which the unit itself screws into. Is this a problem? http://www2.css-networks.com/bracket/1.jpg http://www2.css-networks.com/bracket/2.jpg

I had a Clarion Bluetooth kit hooked up to my Clarion head unit. I also had a Parott kit, but this wanted to intercept the factory speaker wiring via the ISO loom, which is no good as I have aftermarket amps & wiring. Anyway.. they're shite. Nobody could hear me with the road noise of the Supra, and I struggled to hear the other party. Also, I have TomTom on my phone, and when the phone is connected to the bluetooth handsfree, all the TomTom instructions go over bluetooth. So you just can't listen to the radio as it keeps getting interrupted by the phone/TomTom. Now I have this earpiece, it's fabulous. I can have the radio on, and all my TomTom instructions come through the earpiece. Cool.

I think it'd be fairer to ban in car audio. An advert came on the radio the other day. It went something like: "It's ver. its very diff. very.. its ..cult diff very its diff very. It's very difficult to concentrate on two things at once. Think. Don't use a mobile phone whilst driving" It struck me as dangerous since it sent my concentration and general brain into a bit of a wobbler. Whilst driving.

Right then. Tomorrow morning I'll be at my mums and I'll have my car with me. I'll get the bracket out and photo it or measure it or whatever. I'd do it now but due to the shithole of an area where I live with my gf, I have to park my car up at her brother-in-laws house and get picked up by her every night, then dropped off in the morning with the kids So I don't have my car with me except during working hours.. when I'm usually working.

I wouldn't mind, but these bluetooth earpiece handsfree star-trek whatsits are actually bloody good. I always swore I'd never get one because everyone I ever saw walking into an office with one on their ear looked like a twat to me. But I love mine. I never hold the phone to my ear any more. I can work better whilst on the phone now too. Even washing to car today whilst on the phone..

You could normally but with an Exchange server, the addresses are set on the server, not on the client.

Ignore me. I'm trying to teach you to suck eggs having misunderstood what you just wrote

Or that I was assuming he wanted to remain somewhat anonymous.
