INTERNET HOOKUP (36+ locations with On-Line Access)
You’ve not really supplied enough information, and based on what you’ve asked, and how you’ve asked it, I would guess that you’re in unfamiliar territory. But to start with… You don’t say where you are geographically – unless you go with a national carrier, it’s hard to predict, and even then, your mileage will vary. [...]

INTERNET HOOKUP (2)
Probably not a good idea to mount hardware sub-table. recommend all-in-one units like IBM netvista, with limited HD. You don’t want to encourage local storage. As far as speed, unless you are gaming, then concentrate on high memory, high memory display card, and good bandwidth.

IP Addressing
Ideally it should NOT cause you any communication problems, if you keep using the same IP Address, and only change the mask. The problem will occure though, if you start assigning new addresses from the expanded range at the same time. I would recommend you to use an entirely new range, and configure a secondary [...]

Packeteer vs. CheckPoint Floodgate for bandwidth management
Floodgate is not worth its price in money. While it does feel good, being able to control the traffic at the firewall level, Floodgate fails in reporting. If you refer the brochure, you can see, it can do a lot of stuff about reporting. However, Floodgate only provides limited reporting functionality (top 10/20 whatever). However, [...]

Problems backing up NetWare servers with ArcServe
Make sure that the drivers for the backup controller is the newest drivers possible. I have seen this behavior on other ArcServe Backup systems on both Netware and NT backup servers. Everytime the problem was fixed when we upgraded the drivers for the controller card that the tape backup was attached to. Good luck.

First one being the normal IP address that connects to the “internet” (i.e. has a public address that can be routed). the second card is given a private adress (usually 192.168.1.1) and becomes the gateway for the other machines wishing to connect [...]
