(Slightly OT) Bandwidth in Belize
by Marius Strom 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Can anyone here point me to T1 bandwidth providers in Belize, specifically Belize City, San Pedro, and Caye Caulker?

Hello All, Does anyone have any experience with MPLS tunnels and vpns while using Multilink PPP or FR bundles? We're looking to see if this is a viable option for one of our deployments and if there are operational issues related to this configuration. Regards, Wayne

Large DMZ Security Designs ?
by tad pedley 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I'm looking for references to "best practices" for large DMZ designs incorporating both functionality and security. Is segmentation based on port traffic the best approach or something else. All responses appreciated. Thanks, T --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software

Cable & Wireless, Verio and/or Level 3 port blocking?
by William Devine, II 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Can anyone from these three carriers tell me if you're doing port blocking on the Windows file/print ports (135-139, 445 & 593) ? A client of ours (in the US), against our recommendation, still wants to connect to their Exchange server in the UK without a VPN. We're not blocking their IP#'s from anything but somewhere in between it's getting blocked. We use C&W directly and Verio/Level3 through a peer. Thanks! william

Entirely!?!?!? Seems to me that Microsoft was once able to bundle up various OS updates and release an up-to-date version of their current OS. So, why can't they do the same thing today? Failing that, why can't they bundle up just the updates onto a CD that is released every few months and shipped out to all of their regular customers along with permission to copy and redistribute. That way more OEM's would ship out fully updated machines. --Michael Dillon

Networks dropping all ICMP
by Andrew Staples 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

A certain network last week decided to drop *all* icmp traffic across its network for an indefinate period of time. They did this to reduce the effects of Nachi. Apparently (their) Redback DSL concentrators cannot filter only 92 byte packets, it's all or none. Does anyone else care to respond publicly or privately with data about other networks filtering all icmp traffic, not just malformed icmp? I'd like to compile a list for troubleshooting, as these decisions are breaking things for some customers. Andrew Staples perl -e "print(pack('H54','616e647265772e737461706c6573406e776e6574636f6d2e636f6d')) ;" "I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system."
