There's 2 main architectures you can consider. SAN and NAS. SAN being a mapping of remote storage such that it appears locally (for example ATA over Ethernet) and NAS being a mapping of remote storage such that it is still defined as remote (e.g. SMB).
There's 2 main issues. Storage and throughput. The storage requirements are pretty massive and you'd need to carefully consider how it is accessed. That is to say how traffic much each server in the storage array will be transferring at one time. From this, you can decide on the mediums to use (whether that be for 1GigE or 10GigE Ethernet). If it is more than 10GigE, you would need to look at agregating links with something like IEEE802.1AD.
Without any more details on users, load distribution etc., it's hard to advise any more.

The question now is, how do you want it set up. Is it important that each individual device is on and accessible from the college network or do you just want to access files and resources on said network?

Where does the belkin wireless adaptor connect to?

Offline password and registry editor (http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/) will remove/change it. I've never had luck with changing it but it removes the password quite effectively.
Just remove it, do your repair work and, when you can boot back into Windows, you can put a new password back on the account.

By 'recognise', I assume you mean be able to connect to the router and use it via wireless. If that is the case then they won't have any problems.

I have a firm hatred of anything based on RedHat but I may check it out if I find some time. Thanks for the info

That's probably something you should ask Charter - however there were a fair few changes in Vista's SSL and TLS support which may have had an effect on the situation.

Furthermore, why does he want a "stealth" keylogger. If it was to spy on someone legitimately (still wrong but slightly less so), why does it matter if it's covert or not? The best deterrent is known presence. Again, I question your motives and moral values.
Phil

It was not an "insult", but a mere suggestion. To have someone spy on me would be a gross invasion of my privacy and take no end of measures to prevent that. I therefore feel it is morally wrong to spy on anyone else whether or not they be your own family.

Yeh, there's a good one *Removed Rickrolling link.
P.S. Go acquire some moral values.

If you add an imap account to most mail clients you should be able to drag and drop mails into the folders. Outlook definately supports this and I'd be surprised if Thunderbird/OE/Windows Live Mail etc. don't do it.

You'd be better investing your time in learning how to make sites without such wysiwyg tools. They all have their limitations and you can produce better sites without them.

Because the source address of the packets is rewritten by the NAT software on the router as packets pass through destined for the WAN side of it there is no way for anyone on the WAN side of the router (i.e. the "authorities") to trace the cause of the downloading. All they see is the WAN IP and Mac address of the router.
My university requires you to register your laptop and login to use the network. This means that they have your mac address on file and most likely log connections. All web traffic /should/ be through the university proxy and every request to that is logged.
For a home user, their router (if it is any good) should list the Mac addresses of devices connected to it. Because the Mac address is unique per device it is technically possible to track down the offender. However, keep in mind that it is very easy to spoof a Mac address. I am also sceptical if the "authorities" would give the proverbial rats bottom about someone using your network whether it's protected or not.
If you're going to use a wireless network, make it secure. Definately use the most up to date encryption standard availiable at the time (currently WPA2), use Mac address filtering on top of that for a tiny bit of added security (not much) and DON'T turn SSID broadcast off on the router. This is more dangerous than keeping it on.

The primary purpose of 99.9% of domains today is for pointers to sites on the world wide web. The www. prefix is left over from the days when this was not the case. Each prefix would have pointed to a different server - e.g. www. ftp. mail. etc.
The www./non-www. system plays havoc with SEO. It is apparently better to redirect the non-www. to the www. (e.g. mysite.com to www.mysite.com) using the HTTP 301 response and the Location header.

Nice site but a few things...
The white box is bigger than the red box to the left of it, which looks a little silly.
The low quality pixelated "Support" image on the left looks pretty shoddy - as does the low quality pixelated logo.
The rollover effect for the "Support" image/box looks a little silly also since the red backgrounded image just ends up out on its own.
The image on the left of, what I can only describe as, "trinary" would look better with the text evenly spaced around it - rather than with some lines ending closer to the image than others. It might also look nicer moved a bit more to the left, into the text - try it out.
The phone numbers in the top left might look better moved up slightly rather than sitting on the line - again, try it out.
On all but the index page, the logo in the top left could do with changing to blend in with the background - it currently looks a little stuck on. It could also do with being moved a little to the right, away from the edge of the screen.
The "About Us" page has an unecessary ammount of white space between the images and the footer. Also on this page, said images could do with being centred - rather than aligned to the left.
The "Contact Us" page could do with being 100% height rather than having a big white space between the bottom of the footer and the bottom of the screen.
Well done so far
Hope this helps

I'd imagine that, even if it does support it, it would be pointless due to the fact cpu utilisation would be so high. You're better getting a RAID card.

Looks fine.

A windows repair install would be advisable.

I need to know the current they draw too.
Phil

That depends solely on the amount of current and voltage the LED is supposed to take. Read what it says and report back.

Snakeoil.dom is usually related to SSL certificates. You don't give any details about why you can't access the account besides "because of snakeoil.dom".

sometimes ip addresses can change. You can also use machine name in its place
\\machine_name\mysharedstuff
Windows netbios is a complete waste of space. It rarely works how you want it to. IP addresses won't change if they are statically assigned.

Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer).
Navigate to the file, folder or drive folder to be shared, and click once on its icon to select it.
From either the File menu or the right-click menu, choose the "Sharing and Security..." option. A new Properties window appears. If this option did not appear on the menu, ensure that a valid file or folder was selected in the previous step.
Click the Network tab in the Properties window. If no Network tab appears in the window, but a Sharing tab appears instead, close this window and ensure the Simple File Sharing option was enabled in the earlier step before proceeding.
Click the Share This Folder option in the Properties window to enable sharing of this resource. This allows all other computers on the local network to access file(s) but not modify them. To grant others permission to modify these files, click the "Allow Network Users to Change My Files" checkbox to enable this option.
Alternatively, if the Network tab is not enabled, make required settings in the Sharing tab to configure the equivalent sharing. Choose "Share this folder" to enable sharing.
Click Apply or OK to save these settings.
Once you have the folder shared, you can (on the other PC) go to start->run and type \\PC.IP.HERE (where PC.IP.HERE is the IP of the PC sharing the files)
You can map the dir to a drive like so...
Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
Type the name of the folder to map. This name must follow UNC. Alternatively, click the Browse… button to find the correct folder by browsing available network shares.
Btw, "Type the name of the folder to map" means something like \\PC.IP.HERE\mysharedstuff

I have a 32GB OCZ SSD in my desktop machine as the Windows boot disk. Is incredibly fast but was very expensive. Good performance, if you can afford them and, due to the lack of moving parts, it makes them good for laptops which are prone to being dropped.
