The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
On to the networking stuff. Our original network guy flew by the seat of
his pants. My original email address was something ungodly containing
slashes and probably 30 characters.
Now all internal address in all locations in all countries begin with 10
dot, unless, they are in our dmz. In a format of 10 dot x dot y dot z the
dot x will normally signify a city.
Let's take relying upon NAT for example... Let's say you have an internal
address you use of 173.45.161.122. Well, instead of your browser going to
that internal site let's say it mozies on out to the external site with
that IP address. Don't you think your personnel director would be quite
shocked? (If you value your employment I would NOT suggest you try
pointing your browser to it while at work. Trust me, I took an offensive
site, simply pinged it and put that IP address in there.)
We actually had cases of people trying to reach internal sites but getting
external ones instead.
