Thanks for clearing that up Mr. Hammeroni. With the items you mentioned, I was SERIOUSLY wondering what you 2 might be into. (and trying desperatly not to get a mental image) :)--> Rick

I agree about the tiered approach. I assume they already have the database on a seperate machine from the web server. That's just good practice. As far as the HIPAA Certified, I went and looked and sure enough, they've taken that image off of thier website. Rick

There are many levels of Sonicwall devices that you can purchase. They range from about 600 dollars up to 3,000. I believe with the higher-end ones you can even have unlimited VPN's but keep in mind that these are concurrent connections. First step would be to evaluate how many connections would be active at any given time. One thing that you should have on ANY server is strong passwords. I'm amazed at how many times I will get a new client and find out that people use passwords like the name of thier husband/wife/dog/cat, whatever. Password ageing should also be enforced...for example, forcing a password change every 30 days. If your organization is running a win 2k3 server, with Directory Services, there is a lot you can do for security with the tools you already have. First and foremost though, is disable anonymous access on your web server. Make every connection require a login. OK, enough rambling. :)--> Here is a site that has a password generator that will give you some really strong passwords. http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php Rick

Steve, although they are not cheap, you should consider a Sonicwall. It is a firewall appliance, and provides for mulitple vpn tunnels. The client has to load the software on thier computer to get access to your site. It's one of the most secure options available, and they are even HIPAA compliant. I have set up a few for my clients and they aren't hard to get up and running, although to truely secure your network you should plan on reading a lot of documentation before installing it. ***Edit...that should have read HIPAA Certified, not compliant.*** For more info, click HERE Rick

Cool! "We represent the Lollypop Guild, The Lollypop Guild, the Lollypop Guild And in the name of the Lollypop Guild We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland" I LOVE that movie! Rick

Chas, half of my clients are non-profit...understood! Rick

Hey Chas...if you have some extra money to spend on a computer case, your dream of a fanless case can come true! http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showdetl.cfm..._ID=121&CATID=9 Although a grand for just a case seems a little steep to me! :)-->

Steve! Go ask Alice. Rick

Yessir Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under the garbage! :D--> Rick

The machine is now up and running. I still have to get php and mysql installed, then I can set up a new forum. It will hopefully be completed this weekend. I am constantly harping on my clients about making sure they have good backups. Time to take my own advice. :)--> Rick

You have to be REALLY tapped in and spurchal to hear it Tom. SIM Much! Rick

You could put him in the directory I gave you at bluzecentral.net and call him from there. Rick

But it just isn't SOCKS without Calvin! Rick

Is anyone other than me getting a security alert popping up when they click on this thread? It seems to only happen on this thread, none of the other ones. Strange! Rick

OK, I was at Musiciansfriend.com and noticed in the "fun zone" they have a Band and Song name generator. So I HAD to put in Amazing Sea Monkeys and see what came up!

Hey Eagle, once the leaves start turning, you should visit Wayne National Forest. Very pretty! Rick

Sorry, OLM Tom! Didn't see your post till now. The jit compiler is used for java. If you want all the gory details, click this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=154580

Your machine may still have ie as the "registered" program to open html doc's. To check this, find a web page that is saved on your computer, or save one to your desktop if you can't find one. If the icon shows the IE icon, then right click it, go to properties and on the general tab, look for "opens with:". Click the change button and change it to open with Mozilla. Rick

Good advice from Zixar. Also, if it's a momentary hang on certain websites, you can try disabeling the JIT compiler...I've had that cause similar problems before. Got to tools, internet options, and it's under the advanced tab. Shellon, still waiting to hear from you :)--> Rick

Hi Minkee Sis A la! I'm here! Just been busy with work and all. But hey, I'm still feeling the love from all you Amazing Sea Monkeys! Rick

Man, Satori, the first thing I would say is, where do you find sick twisted stuff like this? The second thing is...Keep up the good work :)--> Rick
