Computer Networking - September 2006

I intend to buy a bunch of networking stuff this thanksgiving sale and I need some advice as to what to get and how to hook it up. I am centralizing a 24port unmanaged 3com switch and hooking up 1 dedicated DVR computer with 4 200GB HDs and a very nice TV capture card, I was also thinking of dumping many of my DVD's and VHS's to the Hard drives. If I do this and have a computer in every room with a HDTV, can I read off of the DVR system and everyone can watch what they want? maybe I will have to copy a movie before watching it due to bandwidth. Also I want tro have a dedicated music PC that serves the whole house, especially the outside deck/pool area and my woodshop. This question might be too big to answer completely, so a few links to how to do all of this would be sufficient.

I'm setting up a wireless network for a laptop and two tivo's with a Belkin router, and cable provided high speed internet service. I have everything set up correctly, ran the installation discs on both the internet service and the router - but the internet signal is not being picked up by the router. If I plug my computer to the modem, there is a signal. If I plug it to the router (and either plug from the router to my computer or try wireless) there is no signal. I tried to connect with my Tivo, and it said that the internet connection can not be found. I've already spent hours on the phone with IT, and no solution has been found - if anyone has a similar situation they resolved, or advice, I'd appreciate it!

I'm out-of-town for the moment and I wanted to know how I can efficiently utilize a proxy server in my current location. I'm trying to use Yahoo! Messenger (or MSN Messenger, Trillian, etc...) so I can talk to my family back home, except the stupid DNS Server here (it's a free WIFI Hotspot...) is blocking all access to ANY messenger service, saying that "all user-defined access is prohibited."

Damnit, I'm getting pissed off now. I don't necessarily feel like hauling my webcam all the way to the internet cafe and INSTALLING it for crying out loud. Of course, I could take the laptop with me... but it's closed right now. There's a huge gap between time zones from my family to me. The only time we can talk is either LATE at night for them... or LATE at night for me.

The WIFI hotspot is the only place that's pretty much open 24/7... except I can't get through!!

I have the Charon software, which sniffs out proxy servers from internet search sites... and I also have Mozilla firefox

I will be setting up 2003 SBS with DNS, Exchange, FTP & Web server, file server, etc. Should these services be installed on separate servers, or will it be ok with them all on the same machine? If all on same machine, should they all be on separate hard drives, etc?

Network will only have 40-50 users, plus various devices. If you need more info, let me know and i'll post it, or contact me at imwalt@hotmail.com. Thanks.

I graduated 2 years ago and moved to another city where it took me 10 months to find a job. Now i work as tech support in a good company but everyone around me has an MIS degree or other degree...i feel like i could probably do better than now. I am not making as much as I think I should get. I do not like programming as much.Which other jobs should I look at, or what other certifications should i do to improve my marketability. I was an honors student in my school.
