RE: Verizon FIOS for Small Business

Yes, static IP, business account. They will hand you an Ethernet right from the ONT they install which actually terminates the fiber to your premise. As someone mentioned, if you are using their TV service then no it requires it to work. Greg From: Ryan Finnesey

RE: Verizon FIOS for Small Business

We have a mix of customers from 100 meg fiber w/SLA's from a Tier 1 down to DSL. The majority of my customers have moved to FIOS 20/5 or 50/20 and it works quite well. I cannot think of any customer who has been down other than power issues or their actiontec router and the bandwidth while

RE: PC Bracket/holder

There are brackets for both the SFF and USFF. I have not seen Dell branded brackets for their larger machines. Because of the number of models some of them are actually 3rd party brackets instead of Dell branded versions. Your sales rep can find them for you. If not send me an email with

5 pack of Vipre for Exchange? With AV engines built in its like $203.45 retail. Not sure there is anything cheaper that you will get with the support from Sunbelt, group forum support and its a lot, and the recommendations you will get from this group. Greg -Original Message- From:

RE: Helpdesk software

Check out Autotask. They have a Go version for 3 or less and then Pro. I have not played with the latest version of TrackIT, but its not geared for multiple customers sites with different needs. Designed for single organization, multiple sites, etc... You can hack it, but its probably not

RE: Added SMTP address to Exchange and I am getting an error trying to send

I see this as a big missing piece of Exchange, but its been like this since before I can remember. We have created a public folder structure for each person with multiple emails and forward them to their main account. It works, but man is it crazy to keep up with as they grow. We also have

RE: OT - HTC EVO 4G

Its wicked.. If you are in a good Sprint area you will be very happy. Two of my guys moved to it from the Iphone, horrible ATT service.. They haven't stopped talking about it, and its at least three times as fast as my Moto Droid. I think I am waiting for the Scorpion on Verizon... :) From:

RE: OT - HTC EVO 4G

I don't have any personal experience with the Incredible, but a friend who has one says its just as fast if not faster than his friends Evo. They are almost the same phone aside from the 4G and bigger screen. I am hoping the Scorpion will have 4G LTE ready..Holding out till then. From: Rod

RE: SBS Remote Access - was Firewall for small biz

SBS Remote is not VPN. Its allowing you to access Webmail, and connect to a computer inside the office. The PC must be on, its basically a redirected RDP to a computer in the office. The nice thing is you can configure printer redirection, access your computer like you would in the office.

Installing and configuring are wholly different animals.. Lots of slick wizards do nothing when something breaks and you have to get into the guts. When I show my customers how to add a user in the SBS Console, (Which I never do unless they force the issue), and they say. Oh this is so easy,

RE: SBS Remote Access - was Firewall for small biz

Outlook RPC over HTTP is built into 2003 Server as well. Outlook Anywhere was basically the name change in Exchange 2007/10 and it added additional functionality such as the autodiscover technology. Lots of 2003 Server using it now. -Original Message- From: Don Kuhlman
