| 369937 | 2005-07-07 21:50:00 | I have an Exchange server to handle all my email, a fileserver...for file serving obviously, another exchange front end server so I can use Outlook Web Access, a backup server to back everything up and a server running ISA Proxy that is only doing web caching to speed up my browsing. All running over a wireless LAN so that I have the luxury of watching my "That 70's show" episodes in the comfort of my own bed. Nice :-) B. You should be careful about announcing this sort of thing to the world, as inevitably someone will ask about your software licencing arrangements... I would have thought with that sort of budget you wouldn't need to use dynDNS..... |

I would have thought with that sort of budget you wouldn't need to use dynDNS..... Its all MS trial software except for a copy of Server 2003 which I won at Tech Ed. All totally legal. Most of the trial versions last at least 120 days by the end of which I usually ready to do a rebuild anyway as its all set up to help me learn and gets trashed on a regular basis. My total budget for buying the server software = $0.00 |

| 369939 | 2005-07-07 21:59:00 | What are the advantages of running a domain? I tried it when someone gave me 2k server, but logging on to the domain was so slow I went back to my old setup. Do you need a high spec computer for a domain server? I was using an Athlon XP 2000+ with 256mb of RAM. For a home network I guess its not really necessary. I use it to learn stuff so that I dont break the production systems that I work on. That spec computer would happily run Windows 2003 server with Active Directory setup. Alternatively you can use something like VMWare to run the server and client software on the same machine. |

| 369940 | 2005-07-07 22:19:00 | OK.. <deep breath> servers I have running at my home. Fedora Core Webserver running MySQL, and Apache. Asterisk@Home Server Linux (forgotten the distrubtion) running DNS, SAMBA, DHCP. Windows 2000 running File Share and a upnp-av media server. Now getting into technicalities. My Xbox runs a web control for the music, and FTP. My winXP games box runs remote desktop so I can get at it if I need it. My router run a PPTP server along with all the rest of the NAT, etc. I also have a mythTV server in devolopment, but it's not quite there yet. Is this overkill for a home network? :-) -Qyiet |
