Thanks guys that's a great help, much appreciated.

I'm installing my WSUS servers in preparation for when we move to W10. I can get office PCs setup OK, but people will wander in with different versions of W10 on laptops etc, so I'm setting up the WSUS servers to be able to offer updates for most builds.

Thanks again.

@nadnerb wow, can't complain about the service here, that's way more than I was expecting. Thanks comrade.

Sorted this out.
For some reason the install was setting Allow Global IP and Allow Default Route.
Once I unticked these and ticked All Managed IP it all began working.

I've discovered that when no one else is home, I keep the house at 80 degrees. I would never have guessed, lol.

We keep ours parallel to the street.

went with a simple synology 2 bay and 2 x 6TB disks.

I could have used old hardware, but nah.

Thanks everyone.

reducing the will to kill, post phone call.
No one can print anywhere, it's urgent, i've asked and I'm sure. Can you come today?
contacted more rational staff members and checked printers.
1 printer down because the legends who installed the new photocopier unplugged the network printer and plugged it into the new copier.
2 people were unable to print.

@scottalanmiller How so? Kake means cake, just in German. Honestly, not sure how none of you have had tastykake before.

Who said we haven't?

Because you kan't have your kake and eat it, too.

Reminds me of that old country song about a guy who couldn't decide between two pretty girls, "You can't have your Kate & Edith too".

3 days to go until I have 3 weeks off. the slowest 3 days ever to dawn on the planet I'm sure.

Wow, nice. Going to go somewhere?

Doing a quick trip through the Simpson Desert via Madigans Line.

Very nice ^^^. The only culture I come across is the gunk growing in the drain out the side of the house.

sitting at home building a new 2016 server for a school on melbourne cup day.
there's not much that bores me more than horse racing, but the day we get off for this one is always welcome.

This bloke dropped in on Sunday. Looked like he had a pretty wild Saturday night ...
