• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    backup advice

    Offsite online back up would be my main issue. It's a headache for them to deal with copying the files then taking the drive home with them every night. If the guy won't budge on the internet issue, then I'm not sure I would want him as my client if he's putting up that much of a fight.What...

    What is he doing?

    You could get the system set up, then install Deep Freeze http://www.faronics.com/en/Products/DeepFreeze/DeepFreezeCorporate.aspx Once the system is frozen, all you need to do is reboot to wipe any changes made. Microsoft has a similar solution but the name escapes me.

    Home LAN Wiring

    I'd cut those cables off inside and punch them down to a patch panel. Then get the builder to fix the hole in the exterior wall. Pulling the cables all the way outside is ridiculous.

    Which routing/firewall os do you use?

    Currently running Astaro at home but I have used Smoothwall, pFsense, Endian, and Untangle. I am really happy that Astaro bumped up their home IP limit from 10 to 50. The Astaro interface is a little confusing and very geeky but I really like it.

    Ethernet Splitter / Network Switch question

    All you need is a simple 5 port switch. I am a fan of the Linksys/Cisco equipment so I would pick this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124016

    Wiring house

    For the phones I would use something like what I have linked below. Run the line from the phone company to the distribution point on the board then punch down the rest of your phone lines to it. For the jacks you are using for phones, just punch all 8 wires down to the jack...

    Ubuntu server with a LAMP install. Start learning the command line, way more powerful then using a GUI.
