the packets are being rewritten incorrectly by the firewall or if the server is simply doing something strange. You shouldn't have to look any further than the IP header to verify the source/destination address. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 11:27 AM, Chris McQuistion cmcquist...@watkins.edu wrote

Re: [nlug] Running osTicket

Backups via VMware are fantastic, but VMware has limitations on their API, so backup software companies can't use those API's to backup the free version of ESXi. I use Veeam Backup and it is fantastic. Veeam even has a free version (which basically has all the features, except scheduling.)

[nlug] Recommended PBX or hosted voice solution for small office?

I've been asked to help someone out who runs a very small office (I think they only have 3 phones) with getting a new phone system. Ideally, I want to get them something that has fairly low cost and very low maintenance requirements, since there won't be anyone on staff to actually babysit this
