| 1167794 | 2011-01-10 08:21:00 | Would I need to be concerned with iptables for external access? I have never really gotten my head round iptables :( Most of the time you don't have to - just use a GUI interface such as Firestarter (http://www.fs-security.com/). |

| 1167796 | 2011-01-17 00:36:00 | OK, thanks for the advice with ssh and sftp - looks like thats the better way to go about it. In regards Windows Updates, used WUD to download updates files. If I have a new install, how do I then go about installing them (i. non-slipstreamed media was used). Theres approx 80 files... can I just move them all to C:\Windows\Software Distribution\Download and let Win Updates do the rest? Or is this not really a good way? All windows updates files are sitting on Linux server, I don't mind copying across the network if this is going to be the best way Ultimately I would like to update windows computers from this server (or an XP partition if thats what it takes) |

| 1167797 | 2011-01-17 00:55:00 | For updates use ipcop as your firewall with the update accelerator add on. Using WSUS will mean making changes to the registry of every machine you want to talk to the WSUS server and remembering to remove them when done.Just re-read this post... ipcop requires another standalone server. I am trying to avoid doing this |
