The Bridging trick

glarus

I was at a friend of mine and I saw how easy is to bridge two LAN cards on a PC with WinXP - just mark and click. Does anyone know how this can be done on Windows NT 4 ? (I suppose it's not just a couple of clicks).

Frequent connection drops

gagne

For months now, my connection speed will randomly slow down rapidly and eventually cut off all together. The only way to remedy this is to reset the cable modem. Since late May or early June I've had to reset my modem 5-10 times a day typically.

I have a VPN set up between two businesses, for some odd reason the whole thing stopped working. Hardware is Symantec Firewall/VPN 100 at both locations. I have it set up like they say to on the website and documentation CD.

Firewall causing 404's on 70% of my favorites

Ron_Jeremy

Firstly, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum; I have been using the same firewall for a very long time without issue. It's an old Dell box running IPCOP (a Smoothwall clone, I guess). For those familiar, it's a RED/GREEN setup, where RED = WAN card & GREEN = LAN card.
