can intranet play in lessening the stovepipe problem?

what the heck are you asking?...\n\nperhaps providing onsite resources rather than having to go outside the network to get information?\n\nI think that question is useing term "intranet" loosely...

perhaps you should try mapping unique IP addresses to bookings.\nnot perfect but there's a lot of people like me who clear their cookies every day.

No unless you control the server and stop it in time. Even then I'm not sure if you can at it will always leave at 'electronic footprint'

such software is very rare, although server programming have "chunk delivery" to control general delivery. Controlling individual user connection is almost unheard of.  In the end, buying more bandwidth might prove to be cheaper than any other specialized configurations.

I suggest Red Hat Fedora Core 4 OS.\n\n"ISPs in the area have all been "Shell access? Go away, please," for years."\n\nTrue and they should be if they care about the security on their shared-use servers.  I suggest to go with a dedicated or virtual-dedicated server.  Virtual-dedicated is a new technology out there that allows the affordability of a shared server with the useability of a dedicated server.  Admin access allows you to have root level access and install and run virtually anything on the server.\n\nSee the Virtual Dedicated hosting offer here http://www.xmlwebhost.com/web_hosting.php

Not that i know of.  If you don't have a win2k cd, i'd suggest installing Apache! It's an awesome webserver.

While my response is "Microsoft-centric", the MSDN Web site does have a decent section on "Patterns & Practices" which may be useful to you.  I've supplied the link to the site below.

hmmm, my school has ena net filters. you have to be pretty experienced in hacking to be able to get around it.

There's a tradeoff.  If you totally block users from downloading and installing executables, you can prevent most spyware problems.  On the other hand, users won't be able to install freeware (i.e powerpoint viewer or visio viewer) that they may need for their job.  Now, SysAdmins will get a call everytime a user needs something.  So, trade time for cleaning up messes users make for time doing very basic installs.

We're getting closer to this kind of solution.  Host-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS) are able to identify virus-like behavior and prevent it.  This includes things like deleting files, writing files to certain folders, copying files, performing certain actions in memory, etc.  HIPS can also block certain types of network traffic.  This is an emerging technology; and it's far from perfect.  But it's a move in the right direction.  Some day our computers will recognize attack behavior and kill the malware causing it.

An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website. The same concepts and technologies of the Internet such as clients and servers running on the Internet protocol suite are used to build an intranet. HTTP and other Internet protocols are commonly used as well, especially FTP and e-mail. There is often an attempt to use Internet technologies to provide new interfaces with corporate 'legacy' data and information systems.\n\nAs for how to build one, see the 2nd link below.

Working within the system and changing it from the inside are practically the same thing.  If the system is totally corrupted, it does no good to change it from the inside.

You can, but it is unlikely they will do anything about it. Millions of users, no staff to address all the problems.

I don't agree with the previous post. Firefox is becoming a viable alterantive, especialy now that IE-Embedded sites can be run from the program without switching.  The plug in (ietab)is now available, that even allows Windows updates through the Firefox interface.  Nice.  The extension is called IETAB. See link below.  Good luck.

You know, I don't really have an answer for your question, yet. Just a word of thanks for turning me on to DotNetNuke. I've been developing and implementing SharePoint team sites and portals since the early betas of 2001. And we've just reached the magical point of maturity where you can walk into just about any IT group or internal department, they've already played with team sites on their own and now they're ready for a professional to come in, clean up what they've done, and roll out a unified look and feel, across departments, that they can take from there. \n\nNot that DotNetNuke or Rainbow (which I haven't yet been able to find) aren't going to be comparable solutions; I'll know more when I've had a couple of weeks to play with DotNetNuke. But I can tell you, from some hard-won experience, that it has been an uphill battle to persuade even the early adopters to roll with SharePoint until there was a certain critical mass, which Microsoft so graciously took care of by giving Windows SharePoint Services away with the Server 2003 license, effectively flooding the market. Customers play with what they get, out of the box, realize the potential, then find it hard to get the budget or the head count to task someone full-time to the portal implementation that they've come to see as a cross-departmental solution. \n\nUntil recently, the path of least resistance has been to run a pretty intuitive needs analysis, lock yourself in room for a few days, and come back with a functional, if not fully populated, demonstration site that thay can take to higher management. And you've got to showcase plenty of functionality, and potential, that they won't admit they need until they've seen it in motion. Lots of people out there still thinking in terms of one-off development, html, and maybe a java applet here and there. \n\nI dig the open source aspect of DotNetNuke, and I've done a few sites on pure ASP.net 2.0; and from what I can see so far, it looks like a fairly comparable solution to SharePoint, or at least SharePoint Services. Where you're going to run into questions is the ongoing support and maintenance, and, more importantly, the ease of use and comfort level of the non-technical staff who are going to be both using the thing day to day and populating it with fresh, useful, content and data. Afterall, the goal here, usually, is to bring people together, collaborating in new, as yet undiscovered, ways and to give them access and exposure to information that's going to change their personal way of doing business, and its acceptance and embrace by the corporate culture, for the better. \n\nSure you can leverage the enviable inhouse talent that you already have for ASP and Visual Basic .NET to build a stellar solution for the powers that be. But the real issue, and one that is almost universally under-accounted for by IT and development groups everywhere, is the ease of use, and barriers to spontaneous improvement, that will spark or squelch the passion of power-users and non-IT staff, across the company, to take it to the next level.\n\nSharePoint has reached the level where these people can, with a litle direction and encouragement, be pointed to all kinds of places where they can get their hands on web parts, feeds, and web services, that they can drop right into their littlle piece of real estate and wow the people around them, adding value to their own internal or external customer base, consumers of whatever information or service that they've been tasked to produce. And all without the help of, or budgetary drain to, the IT or web production departments. I hope to be able to say the same after I build a couple of demonstration sites with DotNetNuke - which I'm planning to do over the next couple of weeks. \n\nThanks for turning me on to DotNetNuke. And best of luck to you and your team with the new extranet and portal. If you have any SharePoint-relat
