You guys are my bestest resource. :) I just bumped up my server to a T-1 where I colo. This outfit has been a little less that honest with me, although I've really been happy with the performance of their network. I have over 100 sites (mostly small static sites) running on a 512K and it's performed very well. Is there a way to test if I've really got a T-1? I've got a customer who's signed a contract with a large company who is going to have about 200 employees accessing his application and just want to be sure I really have a T-1. Then at least if I start bogging down I can look at more bandwidth. On another note. I'm about ready to make the plunge into a new SQL Server box. That should break me for another year. LOL Right now I've got a firewall and the big Dell. I've got an extra Dual port NIC on the Dell. I should be OK just connecting a crossover cable right from the Dell to the SQL Server box, right? When I get enough cash for a separate mail server also, I'll get a switch, unless y'all think I'd be better off with one now. Any recommendations on a decent/cheapish 1U rack mountable switch?
