WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition v11 review
Reviews We wanted to add our external DNS and web servers so they could be monitored by WhatsUp Gold, but rather than create a host file for them we added them manually using the New Device… option on the File menu.

Alarm over 'pharming' attacks review
Reviews Throughout the Internet, a series of domain name servers (DNS) quietly resolve the familiar addresses you type into specific Internet addresses. In October of 2002, criminal hackers ('crackers') attempted just that: they directed a denial-of...

Install and configure a DHCP server in Windows Server 2008 review
Reviews For example, if you have different scopes for several different subnets and each subnet will have a different default gateway but will share the same DNS servers, you would want to set the DNS servers as a Global option while the default gateways...

D-Link DFL-700 Firewall review
Reviews If you want a VPN connection to your network from elsewhere, or you have externally accessible servers, the DFL-700 can register with DynDNS services, which allow dynamically allocated public IP addresses to be located using DNS.

Double-Take for VMware Infrastructure review
Reviews The first VM we replicated was a small DNS server handling a few LAN clients. Replication of our DNS server took just over 70 minutes, with subsequent updates taking around 9 minutes. We were a little concerned that we needed to supply only the...

Office Communications Server 2007 review
Reviews Administrators configuring OCS would probably need some experience with Active Directory, Certificate Services and DNS configuration. We also needed to add records to our DNS server so that our Office Communicator 2007 clients could connect to the...

Ten free security utilities you should be using review
Reviews All you do is change your DNS settings (instructions here) to the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. After examining all the files on the machine, the collected data is sent to Secunia’s servers and matched against the Secunia File...

Plan B Disaster Recovery review
Reviews It can also run extra DNS servers to reroute traffic to the replicas in the event of the main systems going offline. Plan B, a UK company based in Berkshire, uses an on-site appliance to make daily snapshot backups of your servers, which are sent...

Net Integrator Micro review
Reviews Described as 'autonomic', the Nitix software not only configures itself, it can also optimise the firewall and manage the built-in DHCP and DNS servers automatically. The hardware is surprisingly well specified given the size of the box, with a Via...

Email security appliances review
Reviews In some cases DNS changes may also be required, but most can be up and running in just a few minutes. The number of anti-virus/spam appliances has mushroomed lately, with solutions to handle mail servers of all sizes.

Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 review
Reviews The easiest is to forward SMTP traffic via the network firewall while, if your email server is located outside the firewall, you’ll need to update your DNS records directly to point to the appliance. However, there’s also plenty of scope for...

Tumbleweed MailGate 2.2 review
Reviews To get started, you need to either update DNS to direct mail to the appliance, or program your firewall to forward port 25 (SMTP) to its address. Domains to be processed and target servers must be identified, and there’s LDAP support to...

IronPort C60 review
Reviews As with other email security appliances, the C60 acts as an MTA (Message Transfer Agent) so all that’s needed are small DNS and/or firewall changes. The first of these, reputation filters, involves scoring messages against IronPort’s own email...

Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7050 review
Reviews It allows you to forward ports to particular machines on the network -- your Web server for example -- and to set up a dynamic DNS address, so that you can link back to your network from the Internet, even if you don't have a static IP address.

Google Mini review
Reviews It’s then just a matter of setting the usual network parameters (IP address, netmask, DNS servers and so on), after which the Google software itself is managed using a browser from a networked PC. This can take anything from a few minutes to...
