		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Direct Access comes into play, this new software that only works with Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate will allow remote users to be connected without having to launch a VPN client.  If they have internet access they can connect to the business network. Additionally you can even run health checks against remote users laptops to make sure that they meet business security specifications before they are allowed to connect.

So I just threw a lot of information out there and you are probably saying "What?" or "WOW how does this work?" or maybe even "Is this secure?" Well I plan on covering all of that here shortly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One problem I have always run into with Virtual machines on your personal computer as a test environment is that you can't include the Cisco configs in the environment or even setup routing between VMs.  Your VMs have to be on the same network to talk or you have to install an additional server as a "Routing and Remote Access" server. Well there is a way around this using GNS3 and VirtualBox together as if they were meant to work together.  In this article I will explain how to setup your virtual network in GNS3 and then attach your Virtual Machines to it in VirtualBox.  It really is very simple.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sun's VirtualBox is a free virtualization program that you can install on as many computers or servers as you like, you just can't do an automated deployment of it without purchasing a license.  But you can install it on as many machines as you would like as long as you manually install it.
VirtualBox will run in MAC OS, Linux and Windows which makes it a very viable option for doing virtualization without spending a whole log of money.  There are a few places where VirtualBox lacks when it comes to virtualization that the more expensive options have.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Group Policy became very useful with the launch of Windows server 2000 and as more and more businesses were moving away from the workgroup environment and into the domain environment. Group Policy gave network administrators a way to control settings on all computers and servers that exsist within there network domain. Over the years group policy has evolved and become very customizable where each OU within Active Directory can have its own group policy. So if you need to hadle the computers within the accounting department different than the computers in the maintenance department, group policy can do this. For the purposes of this article I will be discussing the newest version which is what is included in Windows Server 2008 64-bit. Although there are not a whole lot of changes (except the look) betweeen Server 2003 and Server 2008 I am willing to do a Server 2003 Group Policy article if enough people would like to see it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most web Designers now a days use expensive programs like Adobe Dreamweaver or Adobe Fireworks to create their web sites. Well these programs have a lot of functionality but they also have heavy price tag as well. As a starting out web designer I did not have access to programs like this until I had designed a couple sites. So I needed a way I could create my Web Designs with what I had when I started and that was a Laptop with Windows XP, an internet connection, and the willingness to learn. What I needed was a way I could layout the way I wanted my web page to look and then extract parts of the images for my web site.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who do not know what a MAC address is, it is the burned in address that every networking piece of equipment has that is unique. No two pieces of equipment should every have the same MAC address. There are many reasons someone might want to change the MAC address of the network card or wireless card. Maybe they are trying to connect to someone's wireless network that only allows certain MAC addresses. You can also change your MAC address to test your own security settings, and even DHCP settings. So there are many reasons why you might want to change your MAC address.]]></description>

With all that being said I also love creating Web Applications to make people's life a little easier. I am currently working an  Content Management System for web pages that is easy to install and easy to use. I am hoping to be done with this project in the next week or so since I am going to lock my self in my office until I can get it done. I am looking for some Beta testers that would be willing to try my CMS for me and in return you will receive a subscription to my newsletter along with a free copy of the full finished version of the CMS for your personal use. ]]></description>
